SG1842/SG1843 Series
CURRENT MODE PWM CONTROLLER
Copyright © 2000
Rev. 1.6b 2010-03-15
DESCRIPTION
The SG1842/43 family of control IC's provides all
the necessary features to implement off-line fixed
frequency, current-mode switching power supplies
with a minimum number of external components.
Current-mode architecture demonstrates improved
line regulation, improved load regulation, pulse-
by-pulse current limiting and inherent protection
of the power supply output switch. The bandgap
reference is trimmed to ±1% over temperature.
Oscillator discharge current is trimmed to less
than ±10%. The SG1842/43 has under-voltage
lockout, current limiting circuitry and start-up
current of less than 1mA. The totem-pole output
is optimized to drive the gate of a power
MOSFET. The output is low in the off state to
provide direct interface to an N channel device.
The SG1842/43 is specified for operation over
the full military ambient temperature range of -
55°C to 125°C. The SG2842/43 is specified for
the industrial range of -25°C to 85°C, and the
SG3842/43 is designed for the commercial range
of 0°C to 70°C.

PRODUCTION DATA SHEET
APPLICATION INFORMATION
OSCILLATOR
The oscillator of the 1842/43 family of PWM's is designed such
that many values of RT and CT will give the same oscillator
frequency, but only one combination will yield a specific duty
cycle at a given frequency.
FIGURE 13 — OSCILLATOR TIMING CIRCUIT
A set of formulas are given to determine the values of RT and
CT for a given frequency and maximum duty cycle. (Note: These
formulas are less accurate for smaller duty cycles or higher
frequencies. This will require trimming of RT or CT to correct for
this error.)
Given: Frequency f
Maximum Duty Cycle Dm
Calculate: RT = 267 ()
where .3 < Dm < .95

FIGURE 18. — ISOLATED MOSFET DRIVEFIGURE 17. — BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR DRIVE
Current transformers can be used where isolation is required
between PWM and Primary ground. A drive transformer is then
necessary to interface the PWM output with the MOSFET.
The 1842/43 output stage can provide negative base current to
remove base charge of power transistor (Q1) for faster turn off. This
is accomplished by adding a capacitor (C1) in parallel with a resistor
(R1). The resistor (R1) is to limit the base current during turn on.
Pin numbers referenced are for 8-pin package and pin numbers in parenthesis are for 14-pin package.
FIGURE 15. — CURRENT-SENSE SPIKE SUPPRESSION FIGURE 16. — MOSFET PARASITIC OSCILLATIONS
A resistor (R1) in series with the MOSFET gate reduce overshoot and
ringing caused by the MOSFET input capacitance and any induc-
tance in series with the gate drive. (Note: It is very important to
have a low inductance ground path to insure correct operation of
the I.C. This can be done by making the ground paths as short and
as wide as possible.)
The RC low pass filter will eliminate the leading edge current spike
caused by parasitics of Power MOSFET.

FIGURE 23. — SLOPE COMPENSATION
High-peak currents associated with capacitive loads necessitate careful grounding techniques. Timing and bypass capacitors should be
connected to pin 5 in a single point ground. The transistor and 5k potentiometer are used to sample the oscillator waveform and apply
an adjustable ramp to pin 3.
Due to inherent instability of current mode converters running above 50% duty cycle, a slope compensation should be added to
either current sense pin or the error amplifier. Figure 23 shows a typical slope compensation technique.

* This circuit uses a low-cost feedback scheme in which the DC
voltage developed from the primary-side control winding is
sensed by the SG1842 error amplifier. Load regulation is
therefore dependent on the coupling between secondary
and control windings, and on transformer leakage
inductance.
