The IMP38C4x and IMP38HC4x are fixed frequency, high performance,
current-mode PWM controllers that are pin compatible with bipolar 384x
devices but feature improvements resulting from IMP’s BiCMOS
processing and circuit design. Notable among the improvements are zero
cross-conduction/shoot-through current, reduced start-up and operating
current, lower current-sense delay, higher frequency operation, full
supply voltage swing at the output and a 1% trimmed voltage reference.
IMP38C4x and IMP38HC4x output driver stage has zero cross-conduction
current. A proprietary output state-machine monitors each output
MOSFET and guarantees by design zero cross-conduction current. This is
an industry first for 384x PWM devices.
Under-voltage lockout (UVL) performance has been improved. When
the power supply voltage is below the startup voltage, internal circuitry
puts the output into a low impedance state. The output will sink 20mA
and remain below 1.3V, well below the turn-on threshold voltage of the
external MOSFET. Even when V
DD
drops to zero volts, the out pin will
not rise above approximately 1.3V because the output UVLO circuit is

powered through the out pin. Leakage current from the external
power MOSFETs will not force the PWM output to rise and turn
the external MOSFETs on.
Current-sense propagation delay time is 35ns typical, 65ns maxi-
mum, representing an up to 75 percent reduction over other 38xx
implementations.
Output stage drive is 0.5A for IMP38C4x devices. The high-drive
IMP38HC4x family is rated at 1.0A peak current drive.
Like conventional 384x controllers, the IMP38C4x and
IMP38HC4x controllers use the current-mode architecture for
superior load regulation, pulse-by-pulse current limiting and out-
put MOSFET protection. All versions operate up to 20 volts.
For maximum application flexibility, start-up voltage ranges from
14.5V to 8.4V. Start-up current has been reduced to 120µA maxi-
mum and operating current has been reduced to 1.5mA maximum.
The IMP38C4x/IMP38HC4x are available in 8-pin and 14-pin DIP
and SO packages as well as the 8-pin MicroSO package. The 14-
pin devices provide separate pins for the controller power supply
and the output driver supply. This configuration maximizes
application flexibility and performance. The 14-pin package can
also dissipate more power. Devices in the compact 8-pin packages
do not have separate output drive supply connections.
The IMP38C4x and IMP38HC4x families operate over the –40°C
to +85°C temperature range.
