Current Mode PWM
Control Circuit with
50% Max Duty Cycle
The CS3844/45 provides all the necessary features to implement
off–line fixed frequency current–mode control with a minimum
number of external components.
The CS3844 family incorporates a new precision
temperature–controlled oscillator to minimize variations in frequency.
An internal toggle flip–flop, which blanks the output every other clock
cycle, limits the duty–cycle range to less than 50%. An undervoltage
lockout ensures that VREF is stabilized before the output stage is
enabled. In the CS2844/CS3844 turn on occurs at 16 V and turn off at
10 V. In the CS2845/CS3845 turn on is at 8.4 V and turn off at 7.6 V.
Other features include low start–up current, pulse–by–pulse current
limiting, and a high–current totem pole output for driving capacitive
loads, such as gate of a power MOSFET. The output is low in the off
state, consistent with N–channel devices.

Undervoltage Lockout
During Undervoltage Lockout (Figure 3), the output
driver is biased to sink minor amounts of current. The output
should be shunted to ground with a resistor to prevent
activating the power switch with extraneous leakage
currents.
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
4). An increase in VCC 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.

ton = tc
toff = tc + 2td
When the power supply sees a sudden large output current
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 transformer
saturation in some power supplies, the internal oscillator
waveform provides the maximum duty cycle clamp as
programmed by the selection of OSC components.
Setting the Oscillator
The times tc and td can be determined as follows:
tcRTCTlnVREF Vlower
VREF Vupper
tdRTCTlnVREF IdRTVlower
VREF IdRTVupper
Substituting in typical values for the parameters in the
above formulas:
VREF = 5.0 V, Vupper = 2.7 V, Vlower = 1.0 V, Id = 8.3 mA
then:
tc0.5534RTCT
tdRTCTln2.3 0.0083RT
4.0 0.0083RT
For better accuracy RT should be 10 k.
Grounding
High peak currents associated with capacitive loads
necessitate careful grounding techniques. Timing and
bypass capacitors should be connected close to Gnd in a
single point ground.
The transistor and 5.0 k potentiometer are used to
sample the oscillator waveform and apply an adjustable
ramp to Sense.
