TLx84x Current-Mode PWM Controllers

1 Features 3 Description
•
1 Optimized for Off-Line and DC-to-DC Converters The TL284x and TL384x series of control integrated
circuits provide the features that are necessary to
• Low Start-Up Current (< 1 mA) implement off-line or DC-to-DC fixed-frequency
• Automatic Feed-forward compensation current-mode control schemes, with a minimum
• Pulse-by-Pulse Current Limiting number of external components. Some of the
• Enhanced Load-Response Characteristics internally implemented circuits are an undervoltage
lockout (UVLO), featuring a start-up current of less
• Undervoltage Lockout With Hysteresis than 1 mA, and a precision reference trimmed for
• Double-Pulse Suppression accuracy at the error amplifier input. Other internal
• High-Current Totem-Pole Output circuits include logic to ensure latched operation, a
pulse-width modulation (PWM) comparator (that also
• Internally Trimmed Bandgap Reference provides current-limit control), and a totem-pole
• 500-kHz Operation output stage designed to source or sink high-peak
• Error Amplifier With Low Output Resistance current. The output stage, suitable for driving N-
channel MOSFETs, is low when it is in the off state.
• Designed to be Interchangeable with UC2842 and

7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview
The TL284x and TL384x series of control integrated circuits provide the features that are necessary to implement
off-line or DC-to-DC fixed-frequency current-mode control schemes, with a minimum number of external
components. Some of the internally implemented circuits are an undervoltage lockout (UVLO), featuring a start-
up current of less than 1 mA, and a precision reference trimmed for accuracy at the error amplifier input. Other
internal circuits include logic to ensure latched operation, a pulse-width modulation (PWM) comparator (that 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 when it is in the off state.
Major differences between members of these series are the UVLO thresholds and maximum duty-cycle ranges.
Typical UVLO thresholds of 16 V (on) and 10 V (off) on the TLx842 and TLx844 devices make them ideally
suited to off-line applications. The corresponding typical thresholds for the TLx843 and TLx845 devices are 8.4 V
(on) and 7.6 V (off). The TLx842 and TLx843 devices can operate to duty cycles approaching 100%. A duty-
cycle range of 0 to 50% is obtained by the TLx844 and TLx845 by the addition of an internal toggle flip-flop,
which blanks the output off every other clock cycle.
The TL284x-series devices are characterized for operation from −40°C to +85°C. The TL384x devices are
characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

7.2 Functional Block Diagram

A. The toggle flip-flop is present only in TL2844, TL2845, TL3844, and TL3845. Pin numbers shown are for the D (14-
pin) package.

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Pulse-by-Pulse Current Limiting
Pulse-by-pulse limiting is inherent in the control scheme. An upper limit on the peak current can be established
by simply clamping the error voltage. Accurate current limiting allows optimization of magnetic and power
semiconductor elements while ensuring reliable supply operation

Feature Description (continued)

7.3.2 Error Amplifier With Low Output Resistance
With a low output resistance, various impedance networks may be used on the compensation pin input for error
amplifier feedback.

7.3.3 High-Current Totem-Pole Output

The output of the TLx84x devices can sink or source up to 1 A of current.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Shutdown Technique
The PWM controller (see Figure 11) can be shut down by two methods: either raise the voltage at ISENSE
above 1 V or pull the COMP terminal below a voltage two diode drops above ground. Either method causes the
output of the PWM comparator to be high (see Functional Block Diagram). The PWM latch is reset dominant so
that the output remains low until the next clock cycle after the shutdown condition at the COMP or ISENSE
terminal is removed. In one example, an externally latched shutdown can be accomplished by adding an SCR
that resets by cycling VCC below the lower UVLO threshold. At this point, the reference turns off, allowing the
SCR to reset.

Figure 11. Shutdown Techniques

7.4.2 Slope Compensation

A fraction of the oscillator ramp can be summed resistively with the current-sense signal to provide slope
compensation for converters requiring duty cycles over 50% (see Figure 12).

NOTE
Capacitor C forms a filter with R2 to suppress the leading-edge switch spikes.

8 Application and Implementation

NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Typical Application

The following application is an open-loop laboratory test fixture. This circuit demonstrates the setup and use of
the TL284x and TL384x devices and their internal circuitry.
In the open-loop laboratory test fixture (see Figure 13), high peak currents associated with loads necessitate
careful grounding techniques. Timing and bypass capacitors should be connected close to the GND terminal in a
single-point ground. The transistor and 5-kΩ potentiometer sample the oscillator waveform and apply an
adjustable ramp to the ISENSE terminal.

Figure 13. Open-Loop Laboratory Test Fixture

8.1.1 Design Requirements

The design techniques in the following sections may be used for power supply PWM applications which fall within
the following requirements.
• 500-kHz or lower operation
• 30-V or less output voltage
• 200-mA or less output current

9 Power Supply Recommendations

See Recommended Operating Conditions for the recommended power supply voltages for the TL284x and
TL384x devices. TI also recommends to have a decoupling capacitor on the output of the device's power supply
to limit noise on the device input.

10 Layout

10.1 Layout Guidelines

Always try to use a low EMI inductor with a ferrite type closed core. Some examples would be toroid and
encased E core inductors. Open core can be used if they have low EMI characteristics and are located a bit
more away from the low power traces and components. Make the poles perpendicular to the PCB as well if using
an open core. Stick cores usually emit the most unwanted noise.

10.1.1 Feedback Traces

Try to run the feedback trace as far from the inductor and noisy power traces as possible. Also, keep the
feedback trace to be as direct as possible and somewhat thick. These two sometimes involve a trade-off, but
keeping it away from inductor EMI and other noise sources is the more critical of the two. Run the feedback trace
on the side of the PCB opposite of the inductor with a ground plane separating the two.

10.1.2 Input/Output Capacitors

When using a low value ceramic input filter capacitor, it should be located as close to the VCC pin of the IC as
possible. This will eliminate as much trace inductance effects as possible and give the internal IC rail a cleaner
voltage supply. Some designs require the use of a feed-forward capacitor connected from the output to the
feedback pin as well, usually for stability reasons. In this case it should also be positioned as close to the IC as
possible. Using surface mount capacitors also reduces lead length and lessens the chance of noise coupling into
the effective antenna created by through-hole components.

10.1.3 Compensation Components

External compensation components for stability should also be placed close to the IC. Surface mount
components are recommended here as well for the same reasons discussed for the filter capacitors. These
should not be located very close to the inductor either.

10.1.4 Traces and Ground Planes

Make all of the power (high current) traces as short, direct, and thick as possible. It is good practice on a
standard PCB board to make the traces an absolute minimum of 15 mils (0.381 mm) per Ampere. The inductor,
output capacitors, and output diode should be as close to each other possible. This helps reduce the EMI
radiated by the power traces due to the high switching currents through them. This will also reduce lead
inductance and resistance as well, which in turn reduces noise spikes, ringing, and resistive losses that produce
voltage errors.
The grounds of the IC, input capacitors, output capacitors, and output diode (if applicable) should be connected
close together directly to a ground plane. It would also be a good idea to have a ground plane on both sides of
the PCB. This will reduce noise as well by reducing ground loop errors as well as by absorbing more of the EMI
radiated by the inductor. For multi-layer boards with more than two layers, a ground plane can be used to
separate the power plane (where the power traces and components are) and the signal plane (where the
feedback and compensation and components are) for improved performance. On multi-layer boards the use of
vias will be required to connect traces and different planes. It is good practice to use one standard via per 200
mA of current if the trace will need to conduct a significant amount of current from one plane to the other.
Arrange the components so that the switching current loops curl in the same direction. Due to the way switching
regulators operate, there are two power states. One state when the switch is on and one when the switch is off.
During each state there will be a current loop made by the power components that are currently conducting.
Place the power components so that during each of the two states the current loop is conducting in the same
direction. This prevents magnetic field reversal caused by the traces between the two half-cycles and reduces
radiated EMI.

semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers
should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and
services.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
