Detailed Description
L
VCC
CLK
The SA22300 is a non-synchronous controller for
Boost, Flyback and Sepic applications. The controller
integrates a gate driver with 1.5A current capability,
which can drive external MOSFET fast. Considering
the operation stability and ease of use, peak current
control strategy with built-in slope compensation is
adopted, where the switching current is sensed
through an external resistor to control the on-time.
The SA22300 has a fixed-frequency clock (170kHz)
to ensure constant operational frequency. During
light load operation, the controller will enter burst
mode to improve light-load efficiency.

Under Voltage Lockout
The SA22300 has input undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
protection. If VIN pin voltage drops below the
UVLO falling threshold, the device will shut down. It
will not restart until VIN pin voltage surpasses the
UVLO rising threshold when enabled.

Current Mode Control
The SA22300 uses a fixed frequency peak current
mode control architecture. The peak current through
the external MOSFET is sensed through an external
sense resistor and fed into the ISEN pin. The sensed
current is added to the slope compensation ramp and
fed into the positive input of the PWM comparator.
The output voltage is also sensed through an external
feedback resistor divider network and fed into the
error amplifier negative input (feedback pin, FB).
The output of the error amplifier (COMP pin) is fed
into the negative input of the PWM comparator. At
the start of any switching cycle, the oscillator sets the
RS latch using the switch logic block. This forces a
high signal on the GATE pin and the external
MOSFET turns on. When the voltage on the positive
input of the PWM comparator exceeds the negative
input, the RS latch is reset and the external MOSFET
turns off.

Q
ia
The SA22300 has several built-in protection features
and is suitable for harsh automotive environment. On
the basis of peak current control, the SA22300
possesses fast and accurate cycle-by-cycle current
limit and over current protection (OCP). Once the
voltage drop of sense resistor exceeds OCP threshold,
the controller will enter hiccup mode to prevent
overheating of the external MOSEFT. Besides, the
SA22300 also has VCC short, FB short, ISEN pin
open and FB pin open protection. These protection
measures help to improve the system reliability and
make the controller robust for complicated
automotive environment.

When calculating RZ above, 50% capacitance
