NSC LM3524

LM2524D/LM3524D
Regulating Pulse Width Modulator
General Description
The LM3524D family is an improved version of the industry
standard LM3524. It has improved specifications and additional features yet is pin for pin compatible with existing 3524
families. New features reduce the need for additional external circuitry often required in the original version.
The LM3524D has a ± 1% precision 5V reference. The current carrying capability of the output drive transistors has
been raised to 200 mA while reducing VCEsat and increasing
VCE breakdown to 60V. The common mode voltage range of
the error-amp has been raised to 5.5V to eliminate the need
for a resistive divider from the 5V reference.
In the LM3524D the circuit bias line has been isolated from
the shut-down pin. This prevents the oscillator pulse amplitude and frequency from being disturbed by shut-down. Also
at high frequencies (.300 kHz) the max. duty cycle per
output has been improved to 44% compared to 35% max.
duty cycle in other 3524s.
In addition, the LM3524D can now be synchronized externally, through pin 3. Also a latch has been added to insure
one pulse per period even in noisy environments. The
LM3524D includes double pulse suppression logic that insures when a shut-down condition is removed the state of
the T-flip-flop will change only after the first clock pulse has
arrived. This feature prevents the same output from being
pulsed twice in a row, thus reducing the possibility of core
saturation in push-pull designs.

LM2524D/LM3524D
Functional Description
INTERNAL VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The LM3524D has an on-chip 5V, 50 mA, short circuit protected voltage regulator. This voltage regulator provides a
supply for all internal circuitry of the device and can be used
as an external reference.
For input voltages of less than 8V the 5V output should be
shorted to pin 15, VIN, which disables the 5V regulator. With
these pins shorted the input voltage must be limited to a
maximum of 6V. If input voltages of 6V–8V are to be used, a
pre-regulator, as shown in Figure 1, must be added.
00865005
FIGURE 2.
00865010
*Minimum CO of 10 µF required for stability.
FIGURE 1.
OSCILLATOR
The LM3524D provides a stable on-board oscillator. Its frequency is set by an external resistor, RT and capacitor, CT. A
graph of RT, CT vs oscillator frequency is shown is Figure 2.
The oscillator’s output provides the signals for triggering an
internal flip-flop, which directs the PWM information to the
outputs, and a blanking pulse to turn off both outputs during
transitions to ensure that cross conduction does not occur.
The width of the blanking pulse, or dead time, is controlled
by the value of CT, as shown in Figure 3. The recommended
values of RT are 1.8 kΩ to 100 kΩ, and for CT, 0.001 µF to
0.1 µF.
If two or more LM3524D’s must be synchronized together,
the easiest method is to interconnect all pin 3 terminals, tie
all pin 7’s (together) to a single CT, and leave all pin 6’s open
except one which is connected to a single RT. This method
works well unless the LM3524D’s are more than 6" apart.
00865006
FIGURE 3.
ERROR AMPLIFIER
The error amplifier is a differential input, transconductance
amplifier. Its gain, nominally 86 dB, is set by either feedback
or output loading. This output loading can be done with
either purely resistive or a combination of resistive and reactive components. A graph of the amplifier’s gain vs output
load resistance is shown in Figure 4.
A second synchronization method is appropriate for any
circuit layout. One LM3524D, designated as master, must
have its RTCT set for the correct period. The other slave
LM3524D(s) should each have an RTCT set for a 10% longer
period. All pin 3’s must then be interconnected to allow the
master to properly reset the slave units.
The oscillator may be synchronized to an external clock
source by setting the internal free-running oscillator frequency 10% slower than the external clock and driving pin 3
with a pulse train (approx. 3V) from the clock. Pulse width
should be greater than 50 ns to insure full synchronization.
00865007
FIGURE 4.

CURRENT LIMITING
The function of the current limit amplifier is to override the
error amplifier’s output and take control of the pulse width.
The output duty cycle drops to about 25% when a current
limit sense voltage of 200 mV is applied between the +CL
and −CLsense terminals. Increasing the sense voltage approximately 5% results in a 0% output duty cycle. Care
should be taken to ensure the −0.7V to +1.0V input commonmode range is not exceeded.
In most applications, the current limit sense voltage is produced by a current through a sense resistor. The accuracy of
this measurement is limited by the accuracy of the sense
resistor, and by a small offset current, typically 100 µA,
flowing from +CL to −CL.
(Continued)
The output of the amplifier, or input to the pulse width modulator, can be overridden easily as its output impedance is
very high (ZO . 5 MΩ). For this reason a DC voltage can be
applied to pin 9 which will override the error amplifier and
force a particular duty cycle to the outputs. An example of
this could be a non-regulating motor speed control where a
variable voltage was applied to pin 9 to control motor speed.
A graph of the output duty cycle vs the voltage on pin 9 is
shown in Figure 5.
The duty cycle is calculated as the percentage ratio of each
output’s ON-time to the oscillator period. Paralleling the outputs doubles the observed duty cycle.
OUTPUT STAGES
The outputs of the LM3524D are NPN transistors, capable of
a maximum current of 200 mA. These transistors are driven
180˚ out of phase and have non-committed open collectors
and emitters as shown in Figure 6.

The amplifier’s inputs have a common-mode input range of
1.5V–5.5V. The on board regulator is useful for biasing the
inputs to within this range.

The circuit works as follows: Q1 is used as a switch, which
has ON and OFF times controlled by the pulse width modulator. When Q1 is ON, power is drawn from VIN and supplied
to the load through L1; VA is at approximately VIN, D1 is
reverse biased, and Co is charging. When Q1 turns OFF the
inductor L1 will force VA negative to keep the current flowing
in it, D1 will start conducting and the load current will flow
through D1 and L1. The voltage at VAis smoothed by the L1,
Co filter giving a clean DC output. The current flowing
through L1 is equal to the nominal DC load current plus
some ∆IL which is due to the changing voltage across it. A
good rule of thumb is to set ∆ILP-P . 40% x Io.
BASIC SWITCHING REGULATOR THEORY

The basic circuit of a step-down switching regulator circuit is

Figure 13 shows L1’s current with respect to Q1’s tON and
tOFF times (VA is at the collector of Q1). This curent must
flow to the load and Co. Co’s current will then be the difference between IL, and Io.
Ico = IL − Io
From Figure 13 it can be seen that current will be flowing into
Co for the second half of tON through the first half of tOFF, or
a time, tON/2 + tOFF/2. The current flowing for this time is
∆IL/4. The resulting ∆Vc or ∆Vo is described by:
FIGURE 14. Inductor Current Slope in Step-Down
Regulator
A complete step-down switching regulator schematic, using
the LM3524D, is illustrated in Figure 15. Transistors Q1 and
Q2 have been added to boost the output to 1A. The 5V
regulator of the LM3524D has been divided in half to bias the
error amplifier’s non-inverting input to within its commonmode range. Since each output transistor is on for half the
period, actually 45%, they have been paralleled to allow
longer possible duty cycle, up to 90%. This makes a lower
possible input voltage. The output voltage is set by:
where VNI is the voltage at the error amplifier’s non-inverting
input.
Resistor R3 sets the current limit to:

diagram for the 5V, 1A regulator of Figure 15. The regulator’s
performance is listed in Table 1.
For best regulation, the inductor’s current cannot be allowed
to fall to zero. Some minimum load current Io, and thus
inductor current, is required as shown below:

THE STEP-UP SWITCHING REGULATOR
Figure 18 shows the basic circuit for a step-up switching
regulator. In this circuit Q1 is used as a switch to alternately
apply VIN across inductor L1. During the time, tON, Q1 is ON
and energy is drawn from VIN and stored in L1; D1 is reverse
biased and Io is supplied from the charge stored in Co. When
Q1 opens, tOFF, voltage V1 will rise positively to the point
where D1 turns ON. The output current is now supplied
through L1, D1 to the load and any charge lost from Co
during tON is replenished. Here also, as in the step-down
regulator, the current through L1 has a DC component plus
some ∆IL. ∆IL is again selected to be approximately 40% of
IL. Figure 19 shows the inductor’s current in relation to Q1’s
ON and OFF times.
00865023
FIGURE 18. Basic Step-Up Switching Regulator
00865024
FIGURE 19. Relation of Switch Timing to Inductor Current in Step-Up Regulator
In calculating input current IIN(DC), which equals the inductor’s DC current, assume first 100% efficiency:
Since ∆IL+ = ∆IL−, VINtON = VotOFF − VINtOFF,
and neglecting VSAT and VD1
for η = 100%, POUT = PIN
The above equation shows the relationship between VIN, Vo
and duty cycle.
17
www.national.com
LM2524D/LM3524D
Typical Applications
(Continued)
This equation shows that the input, or inductor, current is
larger than the output current by the factor (1 + tON/tOFF).
Since this factor is the same as the relation between Vo and
VIN, IIN(DC) can also be expressed as:
So far it is assumed η = 100%, where the actual efficiency or
ηMAX will be somewhat less due to the saturation voltage of
Q1 and forward on voltage of D1. The internal power loss
due to these voltages is the average IL current flowing, or IIN,
through either VSAT or VD1. For VSAT = VD1 = 1V this power
loss becomes IIN(DC) (1V). ηMAX is then:
www.national.com
This equation assumes only DC losses, however ηMAX is
further decreased because of the switching time of Q1 and
D1.

The network D1, C1 forms a slow start circuit.
(Continued)
This holds the output of the error amplifier initially low thus
reducing the duty-cycle to a minimum. Without the slow start
circuit the inductor may saturate at turn-on because it has to
supply high peak currents to charge the output capacitor
from 0V. It should also be noted that this circuit has no
supply rejection. By adding a reference voltage at the noninverting input to the error amplifier, see Figure 21, the input
voltage variations are rejected.
In calculating the output capacitor Co it can be seen that Co
supplies Io during tON. The voltage change on Co during this
time will be some ∆Vc = ∆Vo or the output ripple of the
regulator. Calculation of Co is:
The LM3524D can also be used in inductorless switching
regulators. Figure 22 shows a polarity inverter which if connected to Figure 20 provides a −15V unregulated output.
where: Co is in farads, f is the switching frequency,
∆Vo is the p-p output ripple
Calculation of inductor L1 is as follows:
VIN is applied across L1
where: L1 is in henrys, f is the switching frequency in Hz
To apply the above theory, a complete step-up switching
regulator is shown in Figure 20. Since VIN is 5V, VREF is tied
to VIN. The input voltage is divided by 2 to bias the error
amplifier’s inverting input. The output voltage is:
