Advance Information
Description
The Bay Linear B38C42/43/44/45 are fixed frequency and
high performance current-mode PWM controller in BiCMOS.
They are pin compatible with all bipolar 384X’s controllers are
similar to the MIC38C4X family. These devices are designed
for DC-to-DC converter applications and feature a trimmed
oscillator discharge current and bandgap reference.
The benefit of the BiCMOS process provides significant
performance improvement compared to Bipolar 384X devices.
At 15VIN the start-up current is reduced to 50µA (typ.) from
0.17 mA with an operating current reduced to 4mA (typ.) from
14mA. Also, quicker output rise and fall times drive larger
MOSFET ‘s and rail-to-rail output capability improves
efficiency, especially lower supply voltages.
Major differences between members of these series are the
UVLO thresholds. Typical UVLO thresholds of 14.5V (on)
and 9V (off) for the B38C42 and B38C44 devices make them
ideally suited to off-line applications. The corresponding
typical thresholds for the B38C43 and B3845 devcies are 8.4V
(on) and 7.6V (off).
The B39C4X devices are available in 8 pin DIP and SOIC.
