SG3525A Pulse Width Modulator Control Circuit
The SG1525A series of pulse width modulator integrated circuits are
designed to offer improved performance and lower external parts
count when used to implement all types of switching power supplies.
The on-chip +5.1 V reference is trimmed to ±1% initial accuracy and
the input common-mode range of the error amplifier includes the
reference voltage, eliminating external potentiometers and divider
resistors. A Sync input to the oscillator allows multiple units to
be slaved together, or a single unit to be synchronized to an
external system clock. A single resistor between the CT pin and the
Discharge pin provides a wide range of deadtime adjustment. These
devices also feature built-in soft-start circuitry with only a
timing capacitor required externally. A Shutdown pin controls both
the soft-start circuitry and the output stages, providing
instantaneous turn-off with soft-start recycle for slow turn-on.
These functions are also controlled by an undervoltage lockout
which keeps the outputs off and the soft-start capacitor discharged
for input voltages less than that required for normal operation.
Another unique feature of these PWM circuits is a latch following
the comparator. Once a PWM pulse has been terminated for any
reason, the outputs remain off for the duration of the period. The
latch is reset with each clock pulse. The output stages are
totempole designs capable of sourcing or sinking in excess of
200mA.
The SG1525A output stage features NOR logic, giving a LOW output
for an OFF state. The SG1527A utilizes OR logic, which results in a
HIGH output level when OFF.
