mated using the following formula:
Where: frequency is in Hz
Graphs of oscillator frequency and dead time vs component
values are shown in the Typical Characteristic section of this
specification. The recommended range of timing resistors
and capacitors is 10kΩ to 200kΩ and 100pF to 1000pF. To
minimize oscillator noise and insure a stable waveform the
following layout rules should be followed:
Current Sensing and Overcurrent Protection
The CS pin features are:
In current mode control, a PWM comparator uses the inductor
current signal and the error amplifier signal to determine the
operating duty cycle. In the MIC3808/9 the signal at the CS
pin is level shifted up before it reaches the PWM comparator
as shown in Figure 1. This allows operation of the error
amplifier and PWM comparator in a linear region.
There are two current limit thresholds in the MIC3808/9; peak
current limit and overcurrent limit. The normal operating
voltage at the CS pin is designed less than these thresholds.

A pulse-by-pulse current limit occurs when the inductor
current signal at the CS pin exceeds the peak current limit
threshold. The on-time is terminated for the remainder of the
switching cycle, regardless of whether OUTA or OUTB is
active.
If the signal at the CS pin goes past the peak threshold and
exceeds the overcurrent limit threshold, the overcurrent limit
comparator forces the soft start node to discharge and
initiates a soft start reset.
An internal FET discharges the CS pin at the end of the
oscillator charge time. The FET turns on when the voltage on
the RC pin reaches the upper threshold (V
on for the duration of the RC pin discharge time and for
typically 100ns after the start of the next on-time period. The
100ns period at the beginning of the on-time implements a
front edge blanking feature that prevents false triggering of
the PWM comparator due to noise spikes on the leading edge
of the current turn-on signal. The front edge blanking also
sets the minimum on-time for OUTA and OUTB. The timing
diagram for the CS pin is shown in Figure 3.
Error Amplifier
The error amplifier is part of the voltage control loop of the
power supply. The FB pin is the inverting input to the error
amplifier. The non-inverting input is internally connected to a
reference voltage. The output of the error amplifier, COMP,
is connected to the PWM comparator. A voltage divider
between the error amplifier output (COMP pin) and the PWM
comparator allows the error amplifier to operate in a linear
region for better transient response. The output of the error
amplifier (COMP pin) is limited to typically 3.65V to prevent
the COMP pin from rising up too high during startup or during
a transient condition. This feature improves the transient
response of the power supply.
