Circuit Description

ON/OFF Command
to reset of IC
During Undervoltage Lockout (Figure 1), the output driv-
er is biased to a high impedance state. The output should
be shunted to ground with a resistor to prevent output
leakage current from activating the power switch.

PWM Waveform
To generate the PWM waveform, the control voltage from
the error amplifier is compared to a current sense signal
which represents the peak output inductor current (Figure
2). An increase in V
CC
causes the inductor current slope to
increase, thus reducing the duty cycle. This is an inherent
feed-forward characteristic of current mode control, since
the control voltage does not have to change during
changes of input supply voltage.
When the power supply sees a sudden large output cur-
rent increase, the control voltage will increase allowing the
duty cycle to momentarily increase. Since the duty cycle
tends to exceed the maximum allowed to prevent trans-
