The TL284x and TL384x series of control
integrated circuits provide the features that are
necessary to implement off-line or dc-to-dc fixed-frequency current-mode control schemes, with a minimum
number of external components. Some of the internally implemented circuits are an undervoltage lockout
(UVLO), featuring a start-up current of less than 1 mA, and a precision reference trimmed for accuracy at the
error amplifier input. Other internal circuits include logic to ensure latched operation, a pulse-width modulation
(PWM) comparator (that also provides current-limit control), and a totem-pole output stage designed to source
or sink high-peak current. The output stage, suitable for driving N-channel MOSFETs, is low when it is in the
off state.
Major differences between members of these series are the UVLO thresholds and maximum duty-cycle ranges.
Typical UVLO thresholds of 16 V (on) and 10 V (off) on the TLx842 and TLx844 devices make them ideally suited
to off-line applications. The corresponding typical thresholds for the TLx843 and TLx845 devices are 8.4 V (on)
and 7.6 V (off). The TLx842 and TLx843 devices can operate to duty cycles approaching 100%. A duty-cycle
range of 0 to 50% is obtained by the TLx844 and TLx845 by the addition of an internal toggle flip-flop, which
blanks the output off every other clock cycle.
The TL284x-series devices are characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C. The TL384x-series devices are
characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
