Output of the wide bandwidth current amplifier and one of the inputs to the PWM duty-cycle
comparator. The output signal generated by this amplifier commands the PWM to force the correct
input current. The output can swing from 0.1 V to 7.5 V.
Capacitor from CT to GND sets the PWM oscillator frequency.
A nominal voltage above 2.65 V on this pin allows the device to begin operating. Once operating,
the device shuts off if this pin goes below 2.15 V nominal.
All bypass and timing capacitors connected to GND should have leads as short and direct as
possible. All voltages are measured with respect GND.
Output of the PWM is a 1.5-A peak totem-pole MOSFET gate driver on GTDRV. Use a series gate
resistor of at least 5
Ω
to prevent interaction between the gate impedance and the GTDRV output
driver that might cause the GTDRV output to overshoot excessively. Some overshoot of the
GTDRV output is always expected when driving a capacitive load.
Current input to the multiplier, proportional to the instantaneous line voltage. This input to the
analog multiplier is a current. The multiplier is tailored for very low distortion from this current input
(IAC) to MOUT, so this is the only multiplier input that should be used for sensing instantaneous
line voltage.
Switch current sensing input. This is the inverting input to the current amplifier. This input and the
non-inverting input MOUT remain functional down to and below GND. Care should be taken to
avoid taking these inputs below –0.5 V, because they are protected with diodes to GND.
Multiplier output and current sense plus. The output of the analog multiplier and the non-inverting
input of the current amplifier are connected together at MOUT. The cautions about taking ISENSE
below –0.5 V also apply to MOUT. As the multiplier output is a current, this is a high-impedance
input similar to I
SENSE
, so the current amplifier can be configured as a differential amplifier to reject
GND noise. I

Peak limit. The threshold for PKLMT is 0.0 V. Connect this input to the negative voltage on the
current sense resistor. Use a resistor to REF to offset the negative current sense signal up to GND.
Oscillator charging current and multiplier limit set. A resistor from RSET to ground programs
oscillator charging current.
Soft-start. SS remains at GND as long as the device is disabled or V
CC
is too low. SS pulls up to
over 3 V by an internal 14-µA current source when both V
CC
becomes valid and the device is
enabled. SS acts as the reference input to the voltage amplifier if SS is below VREF. With a large
capacitor from SS to GND, the reference to the voltage regulating amplifier rises slowly, and
increase the PWM duty cycle slowly. In the event of a disable command or a supply dropout, SS
will quickly discharge to ground and disable the PWM.
Voltage amplifier output
Positive supply rail
Used to set the peak limit point and as an internal reference for various device functions. This
voltage must be present for the device to operate.
One of the inputs into the multiplier. This pin provides the input RMS voltage to the multiplier
circuitry.
This pin provides the feedback from the output. This input goes into the voltage error amplifier and
the output of the error amplifier is another of the inputs into the multiplier circuit.
