Description
The SG1846 family of control ICs provides the required
features to implement Fixed Frequency, Current mode
control schemes while maintaining a minimum external
parts count. The advanced performance of this
technique can be measured in improved line regulation,
enhanced load response characteristics, and a simpler,
easier-to-design control loop. Topological advantages
include, inherent pulse-by-pulse current limiting
capability, automatic symmetry correction for push-pull
converters, and the ability to parallel “power modules”
while maintaining equal current sharing.
Protection circuitry includes built-in under-voltage
lockout and programmable current limit in addition to
soft start capability. A shutdown function is also
available which can initiate either a complete shutdown
with automatic restart, or latch the supply off.
Other features include fully latched operation, double-
pulse suppression, dead-time adjust capability, and a
±1% trimmed bandgap reference.
