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 theerror 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 sourceor sink high-peak current. The output stage, suitable for driving N-channel MOSFETs, is low when it is in theoff 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 suitedto 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-cyclerange of 0 to 50% is obtained by the TLx844 and TLx845 by the addition of an internal toggle flip-flop, whichblanks 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 arecharacterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications ofTexasInstruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.PRODUCTION DATA nformaton s current as of publcaton date.Products conform to specifications per the terms of Texas Instrumentsstandard warranty.

Either method causes the outputof the PWM comparator to be high (refer to block diagram). The PWM latch is reset dominant so that the outputremains low until the next clock cycle after the shutdown condition at the COMP or ISENSE terminal is removed.In one example, an externally latched shutdown can be accomplished by adding an SCR that resets by cyclingVCC below the lower UVLO threshold. At this point, the reference turns off, allowing the SCR to reset.1 kΩREFCOMPShutdown330 ΩShutdown500 ΩTo Current-SenseResistorISENSEFigure 7. Shutdown TechniquesA fraction of the oscillator ramp can be summed resistively with the current-sense signal to provide slopecompensation for converters requiring duty cycles over 50% (see Figure 8).
