Use with Negative Ground
The HV301 and HV311 may be used with many positive ground
systems where DC/DC PWM Converters have isolated outputs
and their inputs need not be ground referenced (Application
Circuit 14).
HV301/HV311
Current Limit Stability (Method 2 (Servo) Only)
The closed loop current mode control system used in the HV301/
HV311 is very stable, especially when driving MOSFETs with
high gate capacitances (CISS). However, a peaking in ILIMIT near
the end of the current limit may be noted with some MOSFETs.
The current control loop can be frequency compensated to
eliminate this peaking by adding a series connected capacitor
and resistor between the gate and source of the external MOSFET.
The recommended starting values for C and R are 10nF and 1K.
These compensation values should be verified by board level
testing, which may yield satisfactory results with reduced com-
ponent values.
