BiCMOS CURRENT MODE PWM CONTROLLERS
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
■ Low Power BiCMOS Design
The TC38C43 is a current mode BiCMOS PWM control
IC. With a low 1.0 mA supply current along with high drive
current(0.7Apeak)itprovides alowcostsolutionforaPWM
that operates to 500 kHz and directly drives MOSFETs up to
HEX 3 size.
Performance of the oscillator and current sense ampli-
fier have been greatly improved over previous bipolar ver-
sions. Voltage and temperature stability have been im-
proved by a factor of 3. Noise immunity (PSRR) has also
been improved.
The TC38C43 is pin compatible with the earlier bipolar
version so that designers can easily update older designs.
Improvements have been added, though. For example,
clock ramp reset current is specified at 2.5mA (±10%) for
accurate dead time control. A few component values must
bechanged(RT &CT)tousetheTC38C43inexistingbipolar
designs.
The 14-pin DIP and 16-pin SOIC versions have sepa-
rate and internally isolated grounds, and are rated for higher
output current (1.2A). These separate grounds allow for
‘bootstrap’ operation of the PWM to further improve effi-
ciency.
