GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Unlike conventional PWM circuits, the phase modulation technique allows for zero-voltage switching transitions and square wave drive across the transformer. The ML4818 can be operated in current mode. The delay times for the outputs are externally programmable to allow the zero-voltage switching transitions to take place. Pulse-by-pulse current limit, integrating fault detection, and soft start reset are provided. The under-voltage lockout circuit features a 6V hysteresis with a low starting current to allow off-line start up with a low power bleed resistor. A shutdown function powers down the IC, putting it into a low quiescent state. FEATURES
