Product Summary

The MIC38C44BM is a fixed frequency, high performance, current-mode PWM controller. Micrel’s BiCMOS device is pin compatible with 384x bipolar devices but feature several improvements. Undervoltage lockout circuitry allows the ’42 and ’44 versions to start up at 14.5V and operate down to 9V, and the ’43 and ’45 versions start at 8.4V with operation down to 7.6V. All versions operate up to 20V. The applications of the MIC38C44BM include Current-mode, off-line, switched-mode power supplies, Current-mode, dc-to-dc converters, Step-down buck regulators, Step-up boost regulators, Flyback, isolated regulators, Forward converters, Synchronous FET converters.
