SC4808
The SC4808B-1 is a dual-ended, high frequency, integrated
PWM controller, optimized for isolated applications that
require minimum space. It can be configured for current
or voltage mode operation with required control circuitry
where secondary side error amplifier is used.
Some of the key features are high frequency operation of
1 MHz that allows the use of smaller components thus
saving cost and valuable board space. An internal ramp
on the Current Sense pin allows Internal Slope
Compensation programmed by an external resistor. Other
features include programmable frequency up to 1MHz,
Pulse by Pulse current and Line Monitoring Input with
Hysteresis to reduce stress on the power components.
A unique oscillator is used to synchronize two SC4808B-
1’s to work out of phase. This minimizes the input and
output ripple thus reducing noise on the output line and
reducing stress and size of input/output filter components.
The dual outputs can be configured in Push-Pull, Half Bridge
and Full Bridge format with programmable dead time
between two outputs depending on the size of the timing
components.
The SC4808B-1 also features a turn on threshold of 4.4V
and is available in MSOP-10 package.
