TOPSwitch Family Functional Description
TOPSwitch is a self biased and protected
linear control current-to-duty cycle
converter with an open drain output.
High efficiency is achieved through the
use of CMOS and integration of the
maximum number of functions possible.
CMOS significantly reduces bias
currents as compared to bipolar or
discrete solutions. Integration eliminates
external power resistors used for current
sensing and/or supplying initial start-up
bias current.
During normal operation, the internal
output MOSFET duty cycle linearly
decreases with increasing CONTROL
pin current as shown in Figure 4. To
implement all the required control, bias,
and protection functions, the DRAIN
and CONTROL pins each perform
several functions as described below.
Refer to Figure 2 for a block diagram
and Figure 6 for timing and voltage
waveforms of the TOPSwitch integrated
circuit.
Control Voltage Supply
CONTROL pin voltage V
or bias voltage for the controller and

either of two modes of operation.
Hysteretic regulation is used for initial
start-up and overload operation. Shunt
regulation is used to separate the duty
cycle error signal from the control circuit
supply current. During start-up, V
current is supplied from a high-voltage
switched current source connected
internally between the DRAIN and
CONTROL pins. The current source
provides sufficient current to supply the
control circuitry as well as charge the
