Working Principle

The MIC38C43YM works by controlling the voltage output through a switching process. It does this by monitoring the output voltage and adjusting the duty cycle of an associated power switch (e.g. MOSFET) based on the desired output voltage. When the output voltage is too high, the controller reduces the duty cycle of the switch and vice versa.

In its simplest form, the controller consists of an error-amplifier, a PWM comparator, and a logic control circuit. The error-amplifier takes the difference between the reference voltage and the feedback voltage, amplifies it and then passes it to the PWM comparator. The PWM comparator compares this signal to an internal clock signal, and if the comparison is true, then it will turn on the power switch. The power switch is then turned off when the comparator detects that the internal clock signal has finished counting up the desired duty cycle. In this way, the duty cycle is adjusted over time based on the output voltage, achieving a regulated output voltage.

The controller also has a number of feedback and control pins for allowing for implementation of various external components for system design flexibility. These include external voltage reference pins, a frequency select pin and pulse skip/frequency synchronization pins. These pins allow for easier design/debugging of more complex switching systems, as well as more control over the operational speed and performance.
