MIC3839

MIC3838/3839 Micrel MIC3838/3839 Flexible Push-Pull PWM Controller General Description The MIC3838 and MIC3839 are a family of complementary output push-pull PWM control ICs that feature high speed and low power consumption. The MIC3838/9 are ideal for telecom level (36V to 75V) isolated step down dc/dc conversion applications where high output current, small size, and high efficiency are required The MIC3838/9 are designed for high flexibility with minimum pin-count. The devices are easily configurable for either voltage-mode or current-mode control. Additionally, the MIC3838/9 can easily implement a volt-second clamp that automatically limits the duty cycle during input transients, allowing designers to use the smallest possible transformers and power components. A 3V reference output is also available that eliminates the need for an external reference. The dual-ended push-pull architecture of the MIC3838/9 allows more efficient utilization of the transformer than singleended topol...
