OPERATION DESCRIPTION
1. Reference voltage
The reference v oltage circuit generates a stable, temperatur e-compens ated 2.5 V reference from Vcc (pin 9) for use by internal
circuits.
A reference voltage of temperatu re compensated 1/2 Vref can be obtained to external circuit by Vre f termin al ( pin 16).
2. Oscillator
A triangular waveform of any frequency is obtained by connecting an external capacitor and resistor to the CT (pin 1) and RT
terminal s (pi n 2).
The amplitude of this waveform is from 1.3 V to 1.9 V. The oscillator is inter nally connected to the non-inver ting inputs of the
PWM comparators . The oscillator waveform is availab le at the CT terminal .
3. Error amplifiers
The error amplifier detects the output volta ge of t he swi tching regulator.
The common-mode input voltage range is -0.2 V to 1.45 V, so the input reference voltage can be set the VREF and GND levels.
Error amp li fiers can be use d as eit her inverting and non- inverting amplifi ers.
The voltage ga in is fixed. Phas e com pensation is possible by connecting a capacit or to the FB terminals (pins 5 and 12) of the
error am pli fiers.
The error amplifier output are internally connected to the inverting inputs of the PWM comparators and also to the short protection
circuit.
4. Timer latch short protection circuit
The timer latch short p rotecti on circui t detects the output levels of the error amplifiers. If one or both error ampli fier out put s are
1.1 V or lower, the timer circuit begins charging the exter nally connected protection enable capacitor.
If th e output level of the error amplifier does not drop bel ow the normal voltage range before the capa citor voltag e reaches the
transistor base-emitter voltage VBE ( 0.65 V), the latch circuit turns the output drive transistor off and sets the dead time to 100 %.
5. Under voltage lockout protection circuit
An ambiguous transition state at power-on or a momentary fluctuation in the supply line may result in loss of control and may
adv ersely af fect or e ven des troy the system. The under v oltage lock out p rot ection c ir cuit compar es the internal reference vo ltage
level with the supply voltage level. If the supply voltage level falls below the reference level the latch circuit is reset the o ut pu t
drive tr ansistor is turned of f and t he dead ti m e is set to 100 %. The prote cti on enab le t erminal (pin 15) is pul led “Low”.
6. PWM comparator
Each PWM co mpar ator has two i n verting inputs and one non- inverting i nput. This v olt age- to-pulse- wi dth con v ert er cont rols the
output pulse width according t o the i nput voltage.
The PWM comparator turns the output drive transistor on when the oscillator triangular wa veform is higher than the error amplifier
output and the dead tim e control terminal v oltage.
7. Output drive transistor
The open-collector output-drive transistors provide common-emitter output of 18 V dielectric capability. The output drive tran-
sistors can source up to 50 mA of drive current to the switching power transistor.

HOW TO SET OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The output vol tage is set using the connection shown in Fig. 5 and 6.
The error amplifiers are supplied to the internal reference voltage circuit as are the other internal circuits. The
common -mode in put voltage rang e is from -0.2 V to +1. 45 V.
When the a mplifiers are operated non-inverting, tie the inverting terminal to VREF ( 1.28 V). When the amplifiers
are operated inverting, tie the non-in verting terminal to ground.

HOW TO SET TIME CONSTANT FOR TIMER LATCH SHORT PROTECTION CIRCUIT
TIMING CHART shows the configurati on of the protec ti on latch circui t.
Error amplifier outputs, are internally connected to the non-inver ting inputs of the short-circuit protection comparator and are
compared with the reference voltage (1.1 V) connected to the inver ting input.
When the load condition of the switching regulator is stable, the error amplifier has no output fluctuation. Thus, shor t-circuit
protection control is also kept in balance, and the protect ion enab le terminal (pin 15) voltage is kept at about 50 mV.
If th e load condition dras ti cally changes due to a load sho rt -circuit and if lo w-l evel signals (1.1 V or lower) are input to th e non-
inverting inputs of the short-circuit protection comparator from the error amplifiers, the short-circuit protection comparator outputs
a “ Lo w” l e v e l to turn tr an si sto r Q1 off. The protect ion enab l e terminal v ol tage is disc harg ed, and the n the short-circ uit pr otecti on
comparator charges the externally connected protection enable capacitor CPE according to the following formula:
VPE = 50 mV + tPE x 10-6/CPE
0.65 = 50 mV + tPE x 10-6/CPE
CPE = tPE/0.6 (µF)
When the protection enable capacitor charges to about 0.65 V, the protection latch is set to enable the under voltage lockout
protection cir cuit and to turn the output drive transis tor off. The dead time is set to 100 %.
Once the under voltage lockout protection circuit is enabled, the protection enable is released; however, the protection latch is
not reset if the power is not turned off.
The non- inv erting inputs of the D .T.C . comparator a re connected to the D .T.C. termi nals (pins 6 and 11 ) through the pow er supply
(about 0.9 V) and are compared with a reference voltage (about 1.8 V) connected to the inverting input.
To prevent malfunction of the shor t protection circuit in soft-start mode (using D.T.C. term inals), the D.T.C. comparator outputs
a “High” level to turn Q2 on until the D.T.C. terminal voltage drops to about 0.9 V.

SYNCHRONIZATION OF ICs
To synchronize MB3775 ICs, first, the specified capacitor and resistor are connected to the CT and RT terminals of the master
IC to star t self oscillation. Next, 2 V is applied to the RT term inals of the slave ICs to disable the charge/discharge circuit for
trian gular wave oscillation. Final ly, the CT terminal s of the master and slave ICs are connected.
Instead of applying VRT to the RT t erminals, th ese terminals can be pulled u p by a resis tor (see re sistance indicate d by the da shed
lin e in Fig. 8). Select the pull-up resistan ce R pull from the formula given below.

1. How to set the error amplifier frequency characteristic
Figure 22 shows the equivalent circuit of the error am plifier.
The fr equency charac teristic of the err or amplif ie r is set by R1, R2, and CP . The high-frequency gain is set by the ratio of resistors
R1 and R2 in the IC (set value 0 dB).
When CP = 0.1 µF, the gain at 20 kHz f 5 MH z is about 0 dB. The roll -off f requency is adjusted by changing ex ternal phase
comp ensating capacitor CP (see Fig. 24).
When high fr eque ncy gain i s n eeded or the phase mus t be adv anced at a lo w f requenc y, conne ct a re sisto r RP b etw een the FB
terminal and CP as shown in Figure 23 (see Fig. 25).
NOTE: As s hown abo ve, the f requency chara cte rist ic of the e rr or amplifier is set b y the external phase compensating c apacitor
CP.
When a ceram ic c hip capa ci tor mus t be used t o meet the r equi rements of a sm all system, be c areful of i ts te mper ature

2. Effect of equivalent series resistance of smoothing capacitor
The equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the smoothing capacitor in the DC/DC conv erter g reatly aff ects the loop phase characteristic.
A smoothing ca pacitor with a lo w ESR reduces system stability by increasin g the phase sh if t i n the hi gh-f requency regi on (see Fi g. 30) .
Therefore, a smoothing capacitor with a high ESR will improve system stability. Be careful when using low ESR semiconductor electrolytic
capacit ors (OS-CON) and tant alum capac it ors.

Reference data
If an aluminum electrolytic smoothing capacitor (RC 1.0) is replaced with a low ESR semiconductor electrolytic
capaci tor (OS-CON: RC 0.2 ), th e phase shift is reduced by half (see Fig. 33 and 34).

3. Mea su res for en su r in g sy st em st ab il ity w he n a low ES R sm o o thi ng ca p ac it or i s us ed
When a lo w ESR smoothing capacitor is used in the DC/DC con verter, only the L and C are apparent ev en in the high-frequen cy region,
and the phase is delayed by almost 1805. Consequently, the system phase margin and stability are reduced. On the other hand, a
low ESR capaci tor is needed to reduce the amount of output ripple. This is contrary to the s ystem stabil ity e xplai ned abov e .
To s olv e thi s prob lem, phase com pensati on can be used. This method i ncre ases the phase mar gin by adv anc ing the phas e when the
phase m argin i s reduced by a low ESR capacitor.
The three sugges tions list ed below are rec ommended f or DC/DC conv e rters usi ng the MB3775.
(1) As shown in Fig. 35, a capacitor is connected in parallel with the output feedback resistor to advance the phase. Use the
formula below as a guidel ine for the capaci tance .

3. Measures for ensuring system stability when a low ESR smoothing capacitor is used
(Continued)
(2) As shown in Figure 37, a r esistor (R P) is connected bet ween the FB terminal and CP of the error amplifier to advanc e the phase .
The more RP is incr eased, the more the phase is adv ance d. Ho we v er, the gain in the high-frequency range is also i ncreased,
which causes instability. Therefore, select the optimum resistanc e (see Fig. 38).

4. Error amplifier input ripple voltage
The boost circuit for charging the phase com pensating capacitor CP is connected to the error ampl if ier as shown in Figure 40
to prot ect against output volt age ov erl oad at pow er-on.
A 15 mV offset voltage i s provided for the negati ve input side so that the boost circui t onl y operates at power-on. When a
capaci to r is connect ed in par alle l wit h the out put f eedb ac k resist or, beca use the out put rippl e is too larg e or f or advanced phase
compensation, the boost circuit starts operating, which may degrade regulation if the differential input voltage of the error am-
pli fier exceeds 15 mV. Be careful with th e dif ferential input vol tage of the error amplifier.
