Circuit Description
Osclllator Section
Voltage Reference Section
Transistors Q42, Q43 and Q44, in conjunction with an
external resistor RT, establishes a constant charging current
into an external capacitor CT to provide a linear ramp voltage
at terminal 7. The ramp voltage has a value that ranges from
0.6V to 3.5V and is used as the reference for the comparator
in the device. The charging current is equal to (5-2VBE)/RT or
approximately 3.6/RT and should be kept within the range of
30pA to 2mA by varying RT. The discharge time of CT determines the pulse width of the oscillator output pulse at terminal 3. This pulse has a practical range of 0.5µs to 5µs for a
capacitor range of 0.001 to 0.1µF. The pulse has two internal
uses: as a dead-time control of blanking pulse to the output
stages to assure that both outputs cannot be on simultaneously and as a trigger pulse to the internal flip-flop which
controls the switching of the output between the two output
channels. The output dead-time relationship is shown in Figure 4. Pulse widths less than 0.5µs may allow false triggering of one output by removing the blanking pulse prior to a
stable state in the flip-flop.
The CAl524 series contains an internal series voltage regulator employing a zener reference to provide a nominal 5-volt
output, which is used to bias all internal timing and control
circuitry. The output of this regulator is available at terminal
l6 and is capable of supplying up to 50mA output current.
Figure 1 shows the temperature variation of the reference
voltage with supply voltages of 8V to 40V and load currents
up to 20mA. Load regulation and line regulation curves are
shown in Figures 2 and 3, respectively.

If a small value of CT must be used, the pulse width can be
further expanded by the addition of a shunt capacitor in the
order of 100pF but no greater than 1000pF, from terminal 3
to ground. When the oscillator output pulse is used as a sync
input to an oscilloscope, the cable and input capacitances
may increase the pulse width slightly. A 2-KΩ resistor at
terminal 3 will usually provide sufficient decoupling of the
cable. The upper limit of the pulse width is determined by the
maximum duty cycle acceptable.

The oscillator period is determined by RT and CT, with an
approximate value of t = RTCT, where RT is in ohms, CT is in
µF, and t is in µs. Excess lead lengths, which produce stray
capacitances, should be avoided in connecting RT and CT to
their respective terminals. Figure 5 provides curves for
selecting these values for a wide range of oscillator periods.
For series regulator applications, the two outputs can be
connected in parallel for an effective 0-90% duty cycle with
the output stage frequency the same as the oscillator
frequency. Since the outputs are separate, push-pull and
flyback applications are possible. The flip-flop divides the
frequency such that the duty cycle of each output is 0-45%
and the overall frequency is half that of the oscillator. Curves

TIMING RESISTANCE, RT (Ω)
of the output duty cycle as a function of the voltage at
terminal 9 are shown in Figure 7. To synchronize two or
more CAl524’s, one must be designated as master, with RT
CT set for the correct period. Each of the remaining units
(slaves) must have a CT of 1/2 the value used in the master
and approximately a 1010 longer RTCT period than the master. Connecting terminal 3 together on all units assures that
the master output pulse, which occurs first and has a wider
pulse width, will reset the slave units.
The output amplifier terminal is also used to compensate the
system for ac stability. The frequency response and phase
shift curves are shown in Figure 7. The uncompensated
amplifier has a single pole at approximately 250Hz and a
unity gain cross-over at 3MHz.
Since most output filter designs introduce one or more
additional poles at a lower frequency, the best network to
stabilize the system is a series RC combination at terminal9
to ground. This network should be designed to introduce a
zero to cancel out one of the output filter poles. A good starting point to determine the external poles is a 1000-pF
capacitor and a variable series 50-KΩ potentiometer from
terminal 9 to ground. The compensation point is also a
convenient place to insert any programming signal to
override the error amplifier. internal shutdown and current
limiting are also connected at terminal 9. Any external circuit
that can sink 200µA can pull this point to ground and shut off
both output drivers.

While feedback is normally applied around the entire regulator, the error amplifier can be used with conventional
operational amplifier feedback and will be stable in either the
inverting or non-inverting mode. Input common-mode limits
must be observed; if not, output signal inversion may result.
The internal 5V reference can be used for conventional regulator applications if divided as shown in Figure 8. If the error
amplifier is connected as a unity gain amplifier, a fixed duty
cycle application results.

The error amplifier consists of a differential pair (Q56,Q57)
with an active load (Q61 and Q62) forming a differential
transconductance amplifier. Since Q61 is driven by a
constant current source, Q62, the output impedance ROUT,
terminal 9, is very high (≅ 5MΩ).

reduced from a nominal 104 (80dB) by the addition of an
external shunt resistor from terminal 9 to ground as shown in

Output Section
The internal 5V reference can be used for conventional regulator applications if divided as shown in Figure 11. If the error
amplifier is connected as a unity gain amplifier, a fixed duty
cycle application results.
The CA1524 series outputs are two identical n-p-n
transistors with both collectors and emitters uncommitted.
Each output transistor has antisaturation circuitry that
enables a fast transient response for the wide range of
oscillator frequencies. Current limiting of the output section
is set at 100mA for each output and 100mA total if both
outputs are paralleled. Having both emitters and collectors
available provides the versatility to drive either n-p-n or p-n-p
external transistors. Curves of the output saturation voltage
as a function of temperature and output current are shown in
Figures 8 and 9, respectively. There are a number of output

voltage regulator circuits which fall into three basic

Applications (Note 1)
Single-Ended Switching Regulator
The CA1524 in the circuit of Figure 19 has both output
stages connected in parallel to produce an effective 0% 90% duty cycle. Transistor Q1 is pulsed on and off by these
output stages. Regulation is achieved from the feedback
provided by R1 and R2 to the error amplifier which adjusts
the on-time of the output transistors according to the load
current being drawn. Various output voltages can be
obtained by adjusting R1 and R2. The use of an output
inductor requires an R-C phase compensation network to
stabilize the system. Current limiting is set at 1.9 amperes by
the sense resistor R3.
A capacitor-diode output filter is used in Figure 19 to convert
+15VDC to -5VDC at output currents up to 50mA. Since the
output transistors have built-in current limiting, no additional
current limiting is needed. Table 1 gives the required
minimum input voltage and feedback resistor values, R2, for
an output voltage.
Capacitor-Diode Output Circuit
A capacitor-diode output filter is used in Figure18 to convert
+15VDC to -5VDC at output currents up to 50mA. Since the
output transistors have built-in current limiting, no additional
current limiting is needed. Table 1 gives the required
minimum input voltage and feedback resistor values, R2, for
an output voltage range of -0.5V to -20V with an output
current of 40mA.

Flyback Converter
Low-Frequency Pulse Generator
Figure 20 shows a flyback converter circuit for generating a
dual 15V output at 20mA from a 5V regulated line.
Reference voltage is provided by the input and the internal
reference generator is unused. Current limiting in this circuit
is accomplished by sensing current in the primary line and
resetting the soft-start circuit.
Figure 22 shows the CA1524 being used as a low-frequency
pulse generator. Since all components (error amplifier,
oscillator, oscillator reference regulator, output transistor
drivers) are on the lC, a regulated 5-V (or 2.5-V) pulse of 0%
- 45% (or 0% - 90%) on time is possible over a frequency
range of 150 to 500Hz. Switch S1 is used to go from a 5-V
output pulse (S1 closed) to a 2.5-V output pulse (S1 open)
with a duty cycle range of 0% to 45%. The output frequency
will be roughly half of the oscillator frequency when the
output transistors are not connected in parallel (75Hz to
250Hz, respectively). Switch S2 will allow both output stages
to be paralleled for an effective duty cycle of 0%-90% with
the output frequency range from 150 to 500Hz. The
frequency is adjusted by R1; R2 controls duty cycle.
Push-Pull Converter
The output stages of the CA1524 provide the drive for
transistors Q1 and Q2 in the push-pull application of Figure
21. Since the internal flip-flop divides the oscillator frequency
by two, the oscillator must be set at twice the output
frequency. Current limiting for this circuit is done in the
primary of transformer T1 so that the pulse width will be
reduced if transformer saturation should occur.

CA1524, CA2524, CA3524
Digital Readout Scale
The CA1524 can be used as the driving source for an
electronic scale application. The circuit shown in Figures 24
and 25 uses half (Q2) of the CA1524 output in a low-voltage
switching regulator (2.2V) application to drive the LED’s
displaying the weight. The remaining output stage (Q1) is
used as a driver for the sampling plates PL1 and PL2. Since
the CA1524 contains a 5V internal regulator and a wide
operating range of 8V to 40V, a single 9V battery can power
the total system. The two plates, PL1 and PL2, are driven
with opposite phase signals (frequency held constant but
duty cycle may change) from the pulse-width modulator lC
(CA1524). The sensor, S, is located between the two plates.
Plates PL1, S and PL2 form an effective capacitance bridgetype divider network. As plate S is moved according to the
object’s weight, a change in capacitance is noted between
PL1, S and PL2. This change is reflected as a voltage to the
ac amplifier (CA3160). At the null position the signals from
PL1 and PL2 as detected by S are equal in amplitude, but
opposite in phase. As S is driven by the scale mechanism
down toward PL2, the signal at S becomes greater. The
CA3160 ac amplifier provides a buffer for the small signal
change noted at S. The output of the CA3160 is converted to
a dc voltage by a peak-to-peak detector. A peak-to-peak
detector is needed, since the duty cycle of the sampled
waveform is subject to change. The detector output is filtered
further and displayed via the CA3161E and CA3162E digital
readout system, indicating the weight on the scale.

NOTE: Dimensions in parentheses are in millimeters and are derived from the basic inch dimensions as indicated. Grid graduations
are in mils (10-3 inch). The layout represents a chip when it is part of
the wafer. When the wafer is cut into chips, the cleavage angles are
57o instead of 90o with respect to the face of the chip. Therefore, the
isolated chip is actually 7 mils (0.17mm) larger in both dimensions.
