IR1153 Pin Description
Pin COM: This is ground potential pin of the IC.
All internal devices are referenced to this point.
Pin COMP: External circuitry from this pin to
ground compensates the system voltage loop and
programs the soft start time. The COMP pin is
essentially   the   output   of   the   voltage   error
amplifier. The voltage loop error signal V
m
used in
the control algorithm is derived from V
COMP
(V
m
=V
COMP
V
COMP,START
). V
COMP
is actively discharged
using an internal resistance to below V
COMP,START
threshold whenever the IC is pushed into Stand-
by mode (BOP or OLP condition) or UVLO/Sleep
mode. The gate drive output and logic functions of
the IC are inactive if VCOMP is less than
V
COMP,START
. Also during start-up, the VCOMP
voltage has to be less than V
COMP,START
in order to
commence operation (i.e. a pre-bias on VCOMP
will not allow IC to commence operation).
Pin ISNS: ISNS pin is tied to the input of the
current sense amplifier of the IC. The voltage at
this   pin,   which   provides   the   current   sense
information to the IC, has to be a negative voltage
wrt the COM pin. Also since the IC is based on
average current mode, the entire inductor current
information is necessary. A current sense resistor,
located below system ground along the return
path to the bridge rectifier, is the preferred current
sensing method. ISNS pin is also the inverting
input to the cycle-by-cycle peak current limit
comparator. Whenever V
ISNS
exceeds V
ISNS(PK)
threshold   in   magnitude,   the   gate   drive   is
instantaneously disabled. Any external filtering of
the ISNS pin must be performed carefully in order
to ensure that the integrity of the current sense
signal   is   maintained   for   cycle-by-cycle   peak
current limit protection.
Pin BOP (Brown-out Protection): This pin is
used to sense the rectified AC input line voltage
through a resistor divider/capacitor network which
is in effect a voltage division and averaging
network, representing a scaled down signal of the
average   rectified   input   voltage   (average DC
voltage + 2xf
AC
ripple). During start-up the BOP
pin voltage has to exceed V
BOP(EN)
in order to
enable the IC to exit Stand-by mode and enter
normal   operation.   A   Brown-out   situation   is
detected whenever the pin voltage falls below
V
BOP
and the IC is pushed into Stand-by mode.
Subsequently the pin has to exceed V
BOP(EN)
for
the IC to exit Stand-by and resume normal
operation.
Pin OVP/EN: The OVP/EN pin is connected to the
non-inverting input of the OVP(OVP) overvoltage
comparator shown in the block diagram and thus
is used to detect output overvoltage situations.
The output voltage information is communicated
to the OVP pin using a resistive divider. This pin
also serves the second purpose of an ENABLE
pin. The OVP/EN pin can be used to activate the
IC into micropower sleep mode by pulling the
voltage on this pin below the V
SLEEP
threshold.
Pin VFB: The converter output voltage is sensed
via a resistive divider and fed into this pin. VFB
pin is the inverting input of the output voltage error
amplifier. The non-inverting input of this amplifier
is connected to an internal 5V reference. The
impedance of the divider string must be low
enough that it does not introduce substantial error
due to the input bias currents of the amplifier, yet
high   enough   to   minimize   power   dissipation.
Typical value of external divider total impedance
will be around 2M&. VFB pin is also the inverting
input to the Open Loop comparator. The IC is held
in Stand-by Mode whenever VFB pin voltage is
below V
OLP
threshold.
Pin VCC: This is the supply voltage pin of the IC
and sense node for the undervoltage lock out
circuit. It is possible to turn off the IC by pulling
this pin below the minimum turn off threshold
voltage, V
CC(UVLO)
without damage to the IC. This
pin is not internally clamped.
Pin GATE: This is the gate drive output of the IC.
It provides a drive current of ?.75A peak with
matched rise and fall times. The gate drive output
of the IC is clamped at 14.1V(Typ).
