GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC38C46 is a current mode CMOS PWM control IC. It draws only 2 mA supply current, so it can be driven without a costly 50-60 Hz transformer. The output drive stage is capable of high drive currents, 300mA typical. The TC38C46 is pin compatible with earlier bipolar products so that designers can easily update older designs. A number of improvements have been added. This second generation part has been designed with an isolated drive stage. Unlike its cousin, the TC170, the output stage of the TC38C46 can be run from a separate power supply such as a secondary winding on an output transformer. This allows for bootstrap start-up of the power supply.

Peak Current Limit Setup
Resistors R1 and R2 at the CURRENT LIMIT input (pin 1) set the peak current limit (Figure 1). The potential at pin 1 is easily calculated: V1 = VREF R2 R1 + R2 The input pulse to pin 16 should be at least 100nsec wide and have an amplitude of at least 1V in order to get the minimum propagation delay from input to output. If these parameters are met, the delay should be less than 400nsec at 25°C; however, the delay time will increase as the device temperature rises.

Soft Restart From Shutdown
A soft restart can be programmed if nonlatched shutdown operation is used. A capacitor at pin 1 will cause a gradual increase in potential toward V1. When the voltage at pin 1 reaches 0.75V, the PWM latch set input is removed and the circuit establishes a regulated output voltage. The soft-start operation forces the PWM output drivers to initially operate with minimum duty cycle and low peak currents. Even if a soft start is not required, it is necessary to insert a capacitor between pin 1 and ground if the current IL is greater than 140µA. This capacitor will prevent "noise triggering" of the latch, yet minimize the soft-start effect.
R1 should be selected first. The shutdown circuit feature is not latched for (VREF – 0.35)/R1
