  • DN-26 UC3842A Low-Cost Start-up and Fault Protection Circuit
    PDF, 155 Kb, File published: Sep 5, 1999
    The UC1842/3/4/5 family of control ICs can implement off-line or DC-to-DC fixed-frequency current-mode control schemes with a minimal external parts count. This design note describes a circuit with low startup current (less than 0.5mA) MOSFET-compatible undervoltage lockout thresholds programmable restart-delay HICCUP fault protection auxiliary 5V precision reference and overvoltage/overtemper
  • Conditioning a Switch-mode Power Supply Current Signal Using TI Op Amps
    PDF, 61 Kb, File published: Mar 23, 2000
    The switch-mode power supply primary current is often sensed using a power resistor. Using an op amp to amplify the current-sense signal can reduce cost and improve noise performance and efficiency. This report reviews the advantages of using an op amp circuit and analyzes the design criteria needed to choose the proper op amp.
