ML4823
High Frequency Power Supply Controller
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4823 High Frequency PWM Controller is an IC
controller optimized for use in Switch Mode Power
Supply designs running at frequencies to 1MHz.
Propagation delays are minimal through the comparators
and logic for reliable high frequency operation while slew
rate and bandwidth are maximized on the error amplifier.
This controller is designed for single-ended applications
using voltage or current mode and provides for input
voltage feed forward.
A 1V threshold current limit comparator provides cycle-
by-cycle current limit and exceeding a 1.4V threshold
initiates a soft-start cycle. The soft start pin doubles as a
maximum duty cycle clamp. All logic is fully latched to
provide jitter-free operation and prevent multiple pulsing.
An under-voltage lockout circuit with 800mV of hysteresis
assures low startup current and drives the outputs low
during fault conditions.
This controller is an improved second source for the
UC3823 controller; however, the ML4823 includes
features not found on the 3823. These features are set in
italics.
