SG1846/SG2846/SG3846
CURRENT MODE PWM CONTROLLER
DESCRIPTION
The SG1846 family of control ICs provides all of the necessary
features to implement fixed frequency, current mode control
schemes while maintaining a minimum external parts count. The
superior performance of this technique can be measured in im-
proved line regulation, enhanced load response characteristics,
and a simpler, easier-to-design control loop. Topological advan-
tages include inherent pulse-by-pulse current limiting capability,
automatic symmetry correction for push-pull converters, and the
ability to parallel “power modules” while maintaining equal current
sharing.
Protection circuitry includes built-in under-voltage lockout and
programmable current limit in addition to soft start capability. A
shutdown function is also available which can initiate either a
complete shutdown with automatic restart or latch the supply off.
Other features include fully latched operation, double pulse sup-
pression, deadtime adjust capability, and a ±1% trimmed bandgap
reference.
