ML4828IS
Micro Linear
SOIC-20
BiCMOS Phase Modulation/Soft Switching Controller
The ML4828 is a complete BiCMOS phase modulation
control IC suitable for full bridge soft switching converters.
Unlike conventional PWM circuits, the phase modulation
technique allows for zero voltage switching ZVS
transitions and square wave drive across the transformer.
The IC modulates the phases of the two sides of the bridge
to control output power.
The ML4828 can be operated in either voltage or current
mode. Both cycle-by-cycle current limit, integrating fault
detection, and soft start reset are provided. The under-
voltage lockout circuit features a 1.5V hysteresis with a
low starting current to allow off-line start up with a bleed
resistor. A shutdown function powers down the IC, putting
it into a low quiescent state.
The circuit can be operated at frequencies up to 1MHz.
The ML4828 contains four high current CMOS outputs
which feature high slew rate with low cross conduction.
