CS2841B
CS2841B
Automotive Current Mode PWM
Control Circuit
Description
The CS2841B provides all the nec-
essary features to implement off-
line fixed frequency current-mode
control with a minimum number of
external components.
The CS2841B (a variation of the
CS-2843A) is designed specifically
for use in automotive operation.
The low start threshold voltage of
8.0V (typ), and the ability to sur-
vive 40V automotive load dump
transients are important for auto-
motive subsystem designs. The
CS-2841 series has a history of
quality and reliability in automo-
tive applications.
The CS2841B incorporates a preci-
sion temperature-controlled oscil-
lator with an internally trimmed
discharge current to minimize vari-
ations in frequency. Duty-cycles
greater than 50% are also possible.
On board logic ensures that V
REF
is
stabilized before the output stage
is enabled. Ion implant resistors
provide tighter control of under-
voltage lockout.

Undervoltage Lockout
V
CC
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-
