Current Mode Amplifier OCA
CM
The current mode signal is provided by the fast current amplifier OCA
CM. This is done
without any shunt resistor by integrating the alternating voltage drop across the choking
coil.
PWM Comparator C
PWM
By comparison of the compensated current mode signal and the output voltage of OTA
EA
the fast comparator C
PWM creates the required duty cycle.
Standby Control Comparator C
STBY
An external stand-by request is handled by C
STBY. As long as pin 8 (STBY) is not
connected, the voltage at this pin is pulled-up by means of an internal current source and
the controller is kept in stand-by mode (
V
STBY > 2 V). As soon as the voltage at pin 8
(STBY) drops below 0.8 V the controller becomes active. This stand-by feature,
however, does not control the operation of the reset logic’s outputs at pins 6 (RST) and
7 (RST). The reset logic keeps on running as long as
V
FB > 1 V.
Overvoltage Comparator C
OV (Version GV50 only)
C
OV checks the average output voltage at pin 9 (VFB) for overvoltages. In order to filter
the output voltage ripple as well as transient voltage spikes the overvoltage comparator
is equipped with a threshold voltage hysteresis and a low pass filter. If the upper
threshold voltage is exceeded, both reset outputs are set. If afterwards the voltage at pin
9 (
V
FB) drops below the lower threshold voltage, both reset outputs are reset as soon as
the corresponding reset delay of 21 ms has past.
Undervoltage Comparator C
UV (Version GV50 only)
C
UV checks the average output voltage at pin 9 (VFB) for undervoltages. In order to filter
the output voltage ripple as well as transient voltage spikes the undervoltage comparator
is equipped with a threshold voltage hysteresis and a low pass filter. If the voltage at pin
9 (
V
FB) drops below the lower threshold voltage, both reset outputs are set. If afterwards
the voltage at pin 9 (
V
FB) increases above the upper threshold voltage, both reset
outputs are reset as soon as the corresponding reset delay of 21 ms has past.
Short-Circuit Comparator C
SC
In order to allow for a broad variety of driven transistors a short-circuit condition is
detected by C
SC as soon as the voltage drop across the respective transistor exceeds
0.75V (GV50) or 1.25V (GV60). To distinguish the large short-circuit voltage drop from
the even larger voltage drop that occurs if the driven transistor is switched off, C
SC is
enabled a fixed delay after the gate of the driven transistor is charged and disabled as
soon as the driver is switched off.
