General Description
The Supertex HV9110 through HV9113 are a series of BiCMOS/
DMOS single-output, pulse width modulator ICs intended for use
in high-speed high-efficiency switchmode power supplies. They
provide all the functions necessary to implement a single-switch
current-mode PWM, in any topology, with a minimum of external
parts.
Because they utilize Supertex’s proprietary BiCMOS/DMOS tech-
nology, they require less than one tenth of the operating power of
conventional bipolar PWM ICs, and can operate at more than
twice their switching frequency. Dynamic range for regulation is
also increased, to approximately 8 times that of similar bipolar
parts. They start directly from any DC input voltages between 10
and 120VDC, requiring no external power resistor. The output
stage is push-pull CMOS and thus requires no clamping diodes
for protection, even when significant lead length exists between
the output and the external MOSFET. The clock frequency is set
with a single external resistor.
Accessory functions are included to permit fast remote shutdown
(latching or nonlatching) and undervoltage shutdown.
For similar ICs intended to operate directly from up to 450VDC
input, please consult the data sheet for the HV9120/9123.

Detailed Description
Preregulator
The preregulator/startup circuit for the HV911X consists of a high-
voltage n-channel depletion-mode DMOS transistor driven by an
error amplifier to form a variable current path between the VIN
terminal and the VDD terminal. Maximum current (about 20 mA)
occurs when VDD = 0, with current reducing as VDD rises. This path
shuts off altogether when VDD rises to somewhere between 7.8
and 9.4V, so that if VDD is held at 10 or 12V by an external source
(generally the supply the chip is controlling). No current other than
leakage is drawn through the high voltage transistor. This mini-
mizes dissipation.
An external capacitor between VDD and VSS is generally required
to store energy used by the chip in the time between shutoff of the
high voltage path and the VDD supplys output rising enough to
take over powering the chip. This capacitor should have a value
of 100X or more the
effective
gate capacitance of the MOSFET
being driven, i.e.,
Cstorage 100 x (gate charge of FET at 10V ÷ 10V)
as well as very good high frequency characteristics. Stacked
polyester or ceramic caps work well. Electrolytic capacitors are
generally not suitable.
A common resistor divider string is used to monitor VDD for both
the undervoltage lockout circuit and the shutoff circuit of the high
voltage FET. Setting the undervoltage sense point about 0.6V
lower on the string than the FET shutoff point guarantees that the
undervoltage lockout always releases before the FET shuts off.
Bias Circuit
An external bias resistor, connected between the bias pin and VSS
is required by the HV911X to set currents in a series of current
mirrors used by the analog sections of the chip. Nominal external
bias current requirement is 15 to 20µA, which can be set by a
390K to 510K resistor if a 10V VDD is used, or a 510k to
680K resistor if VDD will be 12V. A precision resistor is
not
required; ± 5% is fine.
Clock Oscillator
The clock oscillator of the HV911X consists of a ring of CMOS
inverters, timing capacitors, a capacitor discharge FET, and, in
the 50% maximum duty cycle versions, a frequency dividing flip-
flop. A single external resistor between the OSC In and OSC Out
pins is required to set oscillator frequency (see graph). For the
50% maximum duty cycle versions the Discharge pin is internally
connected to GND. For the 99% duty cycle version, the discharge
pin can either be connected to VSS directly or connected to VSS
through a resistor used to set a deadtime.
One difference exists between the Supertex HV911X and com-
petitive 911Xs: On the Supertex part the oscillator is shut off
when a shutoff command is received. This saves about 150µA of
quiescent current, which aids in the construction of power sup-
plies to meet CCITT specification I-430, and in other situations
where an absolute minimum of quiescent power dissipation is
required.
Reference
The Reference of the HV911X consists of a stable bandgap
reference followed by a buffer amplifier which scales the voltage
up to approximately 4.0V. The scaling resistors of the reference
buffer amplifier are trimmed during manufacture so that the output
of the error amplifier when connected in a gain of 1 configuration
is as close to 4.000V as possible. This nulls out any input offset
of the error amplifier. As a consequence, even though the ob-
served reference voltage of a specific part may not be exactly
4.0V, the feedback voltage required for proper regulation will be.
A 50K resistor is placed internally between the output of the
reference buffer amplifier and the circuitry it feeds (reference
output pin and non-inverting input to the error amplifier). This
allows overriding the internal reference with a low-impedance
voltage source 6.0V. Using an external reference reinstates the
input offset voltage of the error amplifier, and its effect of the exact
value of feedback voltage required.
Because the reference of the 911X is a high impedance node, and
usually there will be significant electrical noise near it, a bypass
capacitor between the reference pin and VSS is strongly recom-
mended. The reference buffer amplifier is intentionally compen-
sated to be stable with a capacitive load of 0.01 to 0.1µF.

Error Amplifier
The error amplifier in the HV911X is a true low-power differential
input operational amplifier intended for around-the-amplifier com-
pensation. It is of mixed CMOS-bipolar construction: A PMOS
input stage is used so the common-mode range includes ground
and the input impedance is very high. This is followed by bipolar
gain stages which provide high gain without the electrical noise of
all-MOS amplifiers. The amplifier is unity-gain stable.
Current Sense Comparators
The HV911X uses a true dual comparator system with indepen-
dent comparators for modulation and current limiting. This allows
the designer greater latitude in compensation design, as there are
no clamps (except ESD protection) on the compensation pin. Like
the error amplifier, the comparators are of low-noise BiCMOS
construction.
Remote Shutdown
The shutdown and reset pins of the 911X can be used to perform
either latching or non-latching shutdown of a converter as re-
quired. These pins have internal current source pull-ups so they
can be driven from open-drain logic. When not used they should
be left open, or connected to VDD.
Output Buffer
The output buffer of the HV911X is of standard CMOS construc-
tion (P-channel pull-up, N-channel pull-down). Thus the body-
drain diodes of the output stage can be used for spike clipping if
necessary, and external Schottky diode clamping of the output is
not required.
