CYStech Electronics Corp. High Performance Current Mode PWM Controllers Spec. No. : C510Q8-A Issued Date : 2003.08.12 Revised Date : Page No. : 1/15 PL384XAQ8 Description The PL384XAQ8 family of control ICs provides the necessary features to implement off-line or DC to DC fixed frequency current mode control schemes with a minimal external parts count. Internally implemented circuits include a trimmed oscillator for precise duty cycle control, under voltage lockout featuring start-up current less than 1.0mA, a precision reference trimmed for accuracy at the error amp input, logic to insure latched operation, a PWM comparator which also provides current limit control, and a totem pole output stage designed to source or sink high peak current. The output stage, suitable for driving N-channel MOSFETs, is low in the off-state. Differences between members of this family are the under-voltage lockout thresholds and maximum duty cycle ranges. The PL3842A and PL3844A have UVLO thresholds of 16V (on) and 10V (off), ideally suited off-line applications. The corresponding thresholds for the PL3843A and PL3845A are 8.5V and 7.9V. The PL3842A and PL3843A can operate to duty cycles approaching 100%. A range of the zero to
