The MC34129/MC33129 are high performance current mode switching
regulators specifically designed for use in low power digital telephone
applications. These integrated circuits feature a unique internal fault timer
that provides automatic restart for overload recovery. For enhanced system
efficiency, a start/run comparator is included to implement bootstrapped
operation of VCC. Other functions contained are a temperature compensated
reference, reference amplifier, fully accessible error amplifier, sawtooth
oscillator with sync input, pulse width modulator comparator, and a high
current totem pole driver ideally suited for driving a power MOSFET.
Also included are protective features consisting of soft–start,
undervoltage lockout, cycle–by–cycle current limiting, adjustable deadtime,
and a latch for single pulse metering.
Although these devices are primarily intended for use in digital telephone
systems, they can be used cost effectively in many other applications.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Pin
Function
Description
1
Drive Output
This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to 1.0 A are
sourced and sinked by this pin.
2
Drive Ground
This pin is a separate power ground return that is connected back to the power source. It is
used to reduce the effects of switching transient noise on the control circuitry.
3
Ramp Input
A voltage proportional to the inductor current is connected to this input. The PWM uses this
information to terminate output switch conduction.
4
Sync/Inhibit Input
A rectangular waveform applied to this input will synchronize the Oscillator and limit the
maximum Drive Output duty cycle. A dc voltage within the range of 2.0 V to VCC will inhibit
the controller.
5
RT/CT
The free–running Oscillator frequency and maximum Drive Output duty cycle are
programmed by connecting resistor RT to Vref 2.5 V and capacitor CT to Ground. Operation
to 300 kHz is possible.
6
Vref 2.50 V
This output is derived from Vref 1.25 V. It provides charging current for capacitor CT through
resistor RT.
7
Ground
This pin is the control circuitry ground return and is connected back to the source ground.
8
Vref 1.25 V
This output furnishes a voltage reference for the Error Amplifier noninverting input.
9
Error Amp Noninverting Input
This is the noninverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the 1.25 V
reference.
10
Error Amp Inverting Input
This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the switching
power supply output through a resistor divider.
11
Feedback/PWM Input
This pin is available for loop compensation. It is connected to the Error Amplifier and
Soft–Start Buffer outputs, and the Pulse Width Modulator input.
12
CSoft–Start
A capacitor CSoft–Start is connected from this pin to Ground for a controlled ramp–up of peak
inductor current during startup.
13
Start/Run Output
This output controls the state of an external bootstrap transistor. During the start mode,
operating bias is supplied by the transistor from Vin. In the run mode, the transistor is
switched off and bias is supplied by an auxiliary power transformer winding.
14
VCC
This pin is the positive supply of the control IC. The controller is functional over a minimum
VCC range of 4.2 V to 12 V.

OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The MC34129 series are high performance current mode
switching regulator controllers specifically designed for use in
low power telecommunication applications. Implementation
will allow remote digital telephones and terminals to shed
their power cords and derive operating power directly from
the twisted pair used for data transmission. Although these
devices are primarily intended for use in digital telephone
systems, they can be used cost effectively in a wide range of
converter applications. A representative block diagram is
shown in Figure 18.
Oscillator
The oscillator frequency is programmed by the values
selected for the timing components RT and CT. Capacitor CT
is charged from the 2.5 V reference through resistor RT to
approximately 1.25 V and discharged by an internal current
sink to ground. During the discharge of CT, the oscillator
generates an internal blanking pulse that holds the lower
input of the NOR gate high. This causes the Drive Output to
be in a low state, thus producing a controlled amount of
output deadtime. Figure 1 shows Oscillator Frequency
versus RT and Figure 2 Output Deadtime versus Frequency,
both for given values of CT. Note that many values of RT and
CT will give the same oscillator frequency but only one
combination will yield a specific output deadtime at a give
frequency. In many noise sensitive applications it may be
desirable to frequency–lock one or more switching regulators
to an external system clock. This can be accomplished by
applying the clock signal to the Synch/Inhibit Input. For
reliable locking, the free–running oscillator frequency should
be about 10% less than the clock frequency. Referring to the
timing diagram shown Figure 19, the rising edge of the clock
signal applied to the Sync/Inhibit Input, terminates charging
of CT and Drive Output conduction. By tailoring the clock
waveform, accurate duty cycle clamping of the Drive Output
can be achieved. A circuit method is shown in Figure 20. The
Sync/Inhibit Input may also be used as a means for system
shutdown by applying a dc voltage that is within the range of
2.0 V to VCC.
PWM Comparator and Latch
The MC34129 operates as a current mode controller
whereby output switch conduction is initiated by the oscillator
and terminated when the peak inductor current reaches a
threshold level established by the output of the Error Amp or
Soft–Start Buffer (Pin 11). Thus the error signal controls the
peak inductor current on a cycle–by–cycle basis. The PWM
Comparator–Latch configuration used, ensures that only a
single pulse appears at the Drive Output during any given
oscillator cycle. The inductor current is converted to a voltage
by inserting the ground–referenced resistor RS in series with
the source of output switch Q1. The Ramp Input adds an
offset of 275 mV to this voltage to guarantee that no pulses
appear at the Drive Output when Pin 11 is at its lowest state.
This occurs at the beginning of the soft–start interval or when
the power supply is operating and the load is removed. The
8
peak inductor current under normal operating conditions is
controlled by the voltage at Pin 11 where:
Ipk =
V(Pin 11) – 0.275 V
RS
Abnormal operating conditions occur when the power
supply output is overloaded or if output voltage sensing is
lost. Under these conditions, the voltage at Pin 11 will be
internally clamped to 1.95 V by the output of the Soft–Start
Buffer. Therefore the maximum peak switch current is:
Ipk(max) =
1.95 V – 0.275
1.675 V
=
RS
RS
When designing a high power switching regulator it
becomes desirable to reduce the internal clamp voltage in
order to keep the power dissipation of RS to a reasonable
level. A simple method which adjusts this voltage in discrete
increments is shown in Figure 22. This method is possible
because the Ramp Input bias current is always negative
(typically –120 µA). A positive temperature coefficient equal
to that of the diode string will be exhibited by Ipk(max). An
adjustable method that is more precise and temperature
stable is shown in Figure 23. Erratic operation due to noise
pickup can result if there is an excessive reduction of the
clamp voltage. In this situation, high frequency circuit layout
techniques are imperative.
A narrow spike on the leading edge of the current
waveform can usually be observed and may cause the power
supply to exhibit an instability when the output is lightly
loaded. This spike is due to the power transformer
interwinding capacitance and output rectifier recovery time.
The addition of an RC filter on the Ramp Input with a time
constant that approximates the spike duration will usually
eliminate the instability; refer to Figure 25.
Error Amp and Soft–Start Buffer
A fully–compensated Error Amplifier with access to both
inputs and output is provided for maximum design flexibility.
The Error Amplifier output is common with that of the
Soft–Start Buffer. These outputs are open–collector (sink
only) and are ORed together at the inverting input of the PWM
Comparator. With this configuration, the amplifier that
demands lower peak inductor current dominates control of
the loop. Soft–Start is mandatory for stable startup when
power is provided through a high source impedance such as
the long twisted pair used in telecommunications. It
effectively removes the load from the output of the switching
power supply upon initial startup. The Soft–Start Buffer is
configured as a unity gain follower with the noninverting input
connected to Pin 12. An internal 1.0 µA current source
charges the soft–start capacitor (CSoft–Start) to an internally
clamped level of 1.95 V. The rate of change of peak inductor
current, during startup, is programmed by the capacitor value
selected. Either the Fault Timer or the Undervoltage Lockout
can discharge the soft–start capacitor.

MC34129 MC33129
Fault Timer
This unique circuit prevents sustained operating in a
lockout condition. This can occur with conventional switching
control ICs when operating from a power source with a high
series impedance. If the power required by the load is greater
than that available from the source, the input voltage will
collapse, causing the lockout condition. The Fault Timer
provides automatic recovery when this condition is detected.
Under normal operating conditions, the output of the PWM
Comparator will reset the Latch and discharge the internal
Fault Timer capacitor on a cycle–by–cycle basis. Under
operating conditions where the required power into the load is
greater than that available from the source (Vin), the Ramp
Input voltage (plus offset) will not reach the comparator
threshold level (Pin 11), and the output of the PWM
Comparator will remain low. If this condition persists for more
that 600 µs, the Fault Timer will active, discharging CSoft–Start
and initiating a soft–start cycle. The power supply will operate
in a skip cycle or hiccup mode until either the load power or
source impedance is reduced. The minimum fault timeout is
200 µs, which limits the useful switching frequency to a
minimum of 5.0 kHz.
Start/Run Comparator
A bootstrap startup circuit is included to improve system
efficiency when operating from a high input voltage. The
output of the Start/Run Comparator controls the state of an
external transistor. A typical application is shown in Figure 21.
While CSoft–Start is charging, startup bias is supplied to VCC
(Pin 14) from Vin through transistor Q2. When
CSoft–Start reaches the 1.95 V clamp level, the Start–Run
output switches low (VCC = 50 mV), turning off Q2. Operating
bias is now derived from the auxiliary bootstrap winding of the
transformer, and all drive power is efficiently converted down
from Vin. The start time must be long enough for the power
supply output to reach regulation. This will ensure that there
is sufficient bias voltage at the auxiliary bootstrap winding for
sustained operation.
1.95 V CSoft–Start
tStart =
= 1.95 CSoft–Start in µF
1.0 µA
The Start/Run Comparator has 350 mV of hysteresis. The
output off–state is clamped to VCC + 7.6 V by the internal
zener and PNP transistor base–emitter junction.
Drive Output and Drive Ground
The MC34129 contains a single totem–pole output stage
that was specifically designed for direct drive of power
MOSFETs. It is capable of up to ±1.0 A peak drive current and
has a typical fall time of 30 ns with a 500 pF load. The
totem–pole stage consists of an NPN transistor for turn–on
drive and a high speed SCR for turn–off. The SCR design
requires less average supply current (ICC) when compared to
conventional switching control ICs that use an all NPN
totem–pole. The SCR accomplishes this during turn–off of
the MOSFET, by utilizing the gate charge as regenerative
on–bias, whereas the conventional all transistor design
requires continuous base current. Conversion efficiency in
low power applications is greatly enhanced with this
reduction of ICC. The SCR’s low–state holding current (IH) is
typically 225 µA. An internal 225 kΩ pull–down resistor is
included to shunt the Drive Output off–state leakage to
ground when the Undervoltage Lockout is active. A separate
Drive Ground is provided to reduce the effects of switching
transient noise imposed on the Ramp Input. This feature
becomes particularly useful when the Ipk(max) clamp level is
reduced. Figure 24 shows the proper implementation of the
MC34129 with a current sensing power MOSFET.
Undervoltage Lockout
The Undervoltage Lockout comparator holds the Drive
Output and CSoft–Start pins in the low state when VCC is less
than 3.6 V. This ensures that the MC34129 is fully functional
before the output stage is enabled and a soft–start cycle
begins. A built–in hysteresis of 350 mV prevents erratic
output behavior as VCC crosses the comparator threshold
voltage. A 14.3 V zener is connected as a shunt regulator
from VCC to ground. Its purpose is to protect the MOSFET
gate from excessive drove voltage during system startup. An
external 9.1 V zener is required when driving low threshold
MOSFETs. Refer to Figure 21. The minimum operating
voltage range of the IC is 4.2 V to 12 V.
References
The 1.25 V bandgap reference is trimmed to ±2.0%
tolerance at TA = 25°C. It is intended to be used in
conjunction with the Error Amp. The 2.50 V reference is
derived from the 1.25 V reference by an internal op amp with
a fixed gain of 2.0. It has an output tolerance of ±5.0% at TA =
25°C and its primary purpose is to supply charging current to
the oscillator timing capacitor.
