L4981A
peak current limiting. A current limitation is obtained using a single resistor connected
between Pin 2 and the sense resistor. To have a better precision another resistor between Pin
2 and a reference voltage (Pin 11) must be added.
L4981B
peak current limiting. A precise current limitation is obtained using two external
resistor only. These resistors must be connected between the sense resistor, Pin 2 and the
reference voltage.

OVP
Overvoltage protection. At this input are compared an internal precise 5.1V (typ) voltage
reference with a sample of the boost output voltage obtained via a resistive voltage divider in
order to limit the maximum output peak voltage.
Input for the AC current. An input current proportional to the rectified mains voltage generates,
via a multiplier, the current reference for the current amplifier.
Current amplifier output. An external RC network determinates the loop gain.
Load feedforward; this voltage input pin allows to modify the multiplier output current
proportionally to the load, in order to give a faster response versus load transient. The best
control is obtained working between 1.5V and 5.3V. If this function is not used, connect this pin
to the voltage reference (pin = 11).
Input for proportional RMS line voltage. the VRMS input compesates the line voltage changes.
Connecting a low pass filter between the rectified line and the pin 7, a DC voltage proportional
to the input line RMS voltage is obtained. The best control is reached using input voltage
between 1.5V and 5.5V. If this function is not used connect this pin to the voltage reference
(pin = 11).
Multiplier output. This pin common to the multiplier output and the current amplifier N.I. input is
an high impedence input like I
SENSE
. The MULT-OUT pin must be taken not below -0.5V.
Current amplifier inverting input. Care must be taken to avoid this pin goes down -0.5V.
Signal ground.
Output reference voltage (typ = 5.1V).Voltage refence at
±
2% of accuracy externally available,
it’s internally current limited and can deliver an output current up to 10mA.
A capacitor connected to ground defines the soft start time. An internal current generator
delivering 100µA (typ) charges the external capacitor defining the soft start time constant. An
internal MOS discharge, the external soft start capacitor both in overvoltage and UVLO
conditions.
Error amplifier output, an RC network fixes the voltage loop gain characteristics.
Voltage error amplifier inverting input. This feedback input is connected via a voltage divider to
the boost output voltage.
Programmable under voltage lock out threshold input. A voltage divider between supply
voltage and GND can be connected in order to program the turn on threshold.
This synchronization input/output pin is CMOS logic compatible. Operating as SYNC in, a
rectangular wave must be applied at this pin. Opearting as SYNC out, a rectangular clock
pulse train is available to synchronize other devices.
Frequency modulation current input. An external resistor must be connected between pin 16
and the rectified line voltage in order to modulate the oscillator frequency. Connecting pin 16 to
ground a fixed frequency imposed by R
OSC
and C
OSC
is obtained.
An external resistor connected to ground fixes the constant charging current of C
OSC
.
An external capacitor connected to GND fixes the switching frequency.
Supply input voltage.
Output gate driver. Bipolar and DMOS transistors totem pole output stage can deliver peak
current in excess 1A useful to drive MOSFET or IGBT power stages.
