TOPSwitch-HX Family Functional Description
Like TOPSwitch-GX, TOPSwitch-HX is an integrated switched
mode power supply chip that converts a current at the control
input to a duty cycle at the open drain output of a high voltage
power MOSFET. During normal operation the duty cycle of the
power MOSFET decreases linearly with increasing CONTROL
pin current as shown in Figure 9.
two terminals, VOLTAGE-MONITOR and EXTERNAL CURRENT
LIMIT (available in M package) or one terminal MULTI-FUNCTION
(available in P and G package) have been used to implement
some of the new functions. These terminals can be connected
to the SOURCE pin to operate the TOPSwitch-HX in a
TOPSwitch-like three terminal mode. However, even in this three
terminal mode, the TOPSwitch-HX offers many transparent
features that do not require any external components:
In addition to the three terminal TOPSwitch features, such as
the high voltage start-up, the cycle-by-cycle current limiting,
loop compensation circuitry, auto-restart and thermal
shutdown, the TOPSwitch-HX incorporates many additional
functions that reduce system cost, increase power supply
performance and design flexibility. A patented high voltage
CMOS technology allows both the high-voltage power MOSFET
and all the low voltage control circuitry to be cost effectively
integrated onto a single monolithic chip.
1. A fully integrated 17 ms soft-start significantly reduces or
eliminates output overshoot in most applications by sweeping
both current limit and frequency from low to high to limit the
peak currents and voltages during start-up.
2. A maximum duty cycle (DCMAX) of 78% allows smaller input
storage capacitor, lower input voltage requirement and/or
higher power capability.
3. Multi-mode operation optimizes and improves the power
supply efficiency over the entire load range while maintaining
good cross regulation in multi-output supplies.
