General description

The PUCC3801 is a current-mode Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) controller containing all the control and protection functions necessary to implement an off-line, flyback or forward converter with a minimum number of external components.

Features

■ Very low start-up supply current; 50 µA typical

■ Low operating supply current; 1.2 mA typical

■ Accurate, internally-trimmed, fixed frequency oscillator (100 kHz). No external timing components needed

■ Internal slope compensation. No external ramp components needed

■ Built-in over-voltage and under-voltage detection

■ High-speed over-current trip; 170 ns typical

■ Over-voltage clamp on supply voltage (VDD)

■ Internal divider regulates VDD to 12 V. No external divider needed

■ Leading edge blanking of the current sense signal

■ Control frequency modulated over a narrow band to reduce Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

■ High output drive capability; 150 ns typical rise and fall time into 2 nF load

■ Wide bandwidth (10 MHz) error amplifier with external compensation pin and simple interface to optocoupler

■ Accurate internal bandgap reference.

Applications

■ Off-line switched mode power supplies

■ Laptop computer mains adaptors

■ Printer power supplies.
