Like TOPSwitch, the high voltage power MOSFET, PWM control, fault protection and other control circuitry are all integrated onto a single CMOS chip, but with two added terminals. The first one is a MULTIFUNCTION (M) pin, which implements programmable line OV/UV shutdown and line feed forward/DCMAX reduction with line voltage. The same pin can be used instead to externally set an accurate current limit. In either case, this pin can also be used for remote ON/OFF or to synchronize the oscillator to an external, lower frequency signal. The second added terminal is the FREQUENCY (F) pin and is available only in the Y package. This pin of TOPSwitch-FX provides the half frequency option when connected to CONTROL (C) instead of SOURCE (S). The features on the new pins of TOPSwitch-FX can be disabled by shorting them to the SOURCE, which allows the device to operate in a three terminal TOPSwitch mode, but with the following new transparent features: soft-start, cycle skipping, 130 kHz switching frequency, frequency jittering, wider DCMAX, hysteretic thermal shutdown and larger creepage. In addition, all critical parameters such as frequency, current limit, PWM gain, etc. have tighter temperature and absolute tolerances compared to the TOPSwitch-II family. Higher current limit accuracy and larger DCMAX, when combined with other features allow for a 10% to 15% higher power capability on the TOPSwitch-FX devices compared to equivalent TOPSwitch-II devices for the same input/output conditions.
