DESCRIPTION
The SG3525A series of pulse width modulator integrated
circuits are designed to offer improved performance
and lowered external parts count when
used in designing all types of switching power supplies.
The on-chip + 5.1 V reference is trimmed to ±
1 % and the input common-mode range of the error
amplifier includes the reference voltage eliminating
external resistors. A sync input to the oscillator allows
multiple units to be slaved or a single unit to be
synchronized to an external system clock. A single
resistor between the CT and the discharge terminals
provide a wide range of dead time ad- justment.
These devices also feature built-in soft-start circuitry
with only an external timing capacitor required. A
shutdown terminal controls both the soft-start circuity
and the output stages, providing instantaneous
turn off through the PWM latch with pulsed shutdown,
as well as soft-start recycle with longer shutdown
commands. These functions are also controlled
by an undervoltage lockout which keeps the outputs
off and the soft-start capacitor discharged for
sub-normal input voltages. This lockout circuitry includes
approximately 500 mV of hysteresis for jitterfree
operation. Another feature of these PWM circuits
is a latch following the comparator. Once a
PWM pulses has been terminated for any reason,
the outputs will remain off for the duration of the period.
The latch is reset with each clock pulse. The
output stages are totem-pole designs capable of
sourcing or sinking in excess of 200 mA. The
SG3525A output stage features NOR logic, giving a
LOW output for an OFF state.
