DESCRIPTION K E Y F E AT U R E S

The SG1844/45 family of control ICs
provides all the necessary features to
implement off-line fixed frequency,
current-mode switching power supplies
with a minimum number of external
components. Current-mode architecture
demonstrates improved line regulation,
improved load regulation, pulse-by-
pulse current limiting and inherent
protection of the power supply output
switch.
The bandgap reference is trimmed to
±1% over temperature. Oscillator
discharge current is trimmed to less than
±10%. The SG1844/45 has under-
voltage lockout, current-limiting circuitry

and start-up current of less than 1mA.
The totem-pole output is optimized to
drive the gate of a power MOSFET. The
output is low in the off state to provide
direct interface to an N-channel device.
Both operate up to a maximum duty
cycle range of zero to <50% due to an
internal toggle flip-flop which blanks the
output off every other clock cycle.
The SG1844/45 is specified for
operation over the full military ambient
temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
The SG2844/45 is specified for the
industrial range of -25°C to 85°C, and
the SG3844/45 is designed for the
commercial range of 0°C to 70°C.

FIGURE 14. — CURRENT SENSE SPIKE SUPPRESSION FIGURE 15. — MOSFET PARASITIC OSCILLATIONS

The RC low-pass filter will eliminate the leading edge current spike
caused by parasitics of Power MOSFET.
A resistor (R1) in series with the MOSFET gate reduce overshoot and
ringing caused by the MOSFET input capacitance and any inductance
in series with the gate drive. (Note: It is very important to have a
low inductance ground path to insure correct operation of the I.C.
This can be done by making the ground paths as short and as wide
as possible.)
