FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
The LM5041B PWM controller contains all of the
features necessary to implement either current-fed or
voltage-fed push-pull or bridge power converters.
These “Cascaded” topologies are well suited for
multiple output and higher power applications. The
LM5041B includes these four control outputs: the
buck stage controls (HD and LD) and the push-pull
control outputs (PUSH and PULL). Push-pull outputs
are driven at 50% nominal duty cycle at one half of
the switching frequency of the buck stage and can be
configured for either a specified overlap time (for
current-fed applications) or a specified non-overlap
time (for voltage-fed applications). Push-pull stage
MOSFETs can be driven directly from the internal
gate drivers while the buck stage requires an external
driver such as the LM5102. The LM5041B includes a
high-voltage start-up regulator that operates over a
wide input range of 15V to 100V. The PWM controller
is designed for high-speed capability including an
oscillator frequency range up to 1 MHz and total
propagation delays of less than 100 ns. Additional
features include line Under-Voltage Lock-Out
(UVLO), Soft-Start, an error amplifier, precision
voltage reference, and thermal shutdown.

The differences between LM5041, LM5041A and
LM5041B are as follows: In the LM5041A and the
LM5041B version, the hiccup mode over-current
protection is not employed and the VCC bias
regulator is not disabled by a low state at the SS pin.
In the LM5041B version, both the high and low side
buck stage gate drivers are forced to a low state
when the controller is disabled. In the LM5041 and
the LM5041B version, the buck stage controller is
disabled by either a low state at the UVLO pin or a
low state at the SS pin. Also in the LM5041B version,
the REF pin 5V regulator is not disabled by a UVLO
pin low state.

DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The LM5041B PWM controller contains all of the features necessary to implement either current-fed or voltagefed push-pull or bridge power converters. These “Cascaded” topologies are well suited for multiple output and
higher power applications. The LM5041B includes these four control outputs: the buck stage controls (HD and
LD) and the push-pull control outputs (PUSH and PULL). Push-pull outputs are driven at 50% nominal duty cycle
at one half of the switching frequency of the buck stage and can be configured for either a specified overlap time
(for current-fed applications) or a specified non-overlap time (for voltage-fed applications). Push-pull stage
MOSFETs can be driven directly from the internal gate drivers while the buck stage requires an external driver
such as the LM5102. The LM5041B includes a high-voltage start-up regulator that operates over a wide input
range of 15V to 100V. The PWM controller is designed for high-speed capability including an oscillator frequency
range up to 1 MHz and total propagation delays of less than 100 ns. Additional features include line UnderVoltage Lock-Out (UVLO), Soft-Start, an error amplifier, precision voltage reference, and thermal shutdown.
High Voltage Start-Up Regulator
The LM5041B contains an internal high-voltage start-up regulator, thus the input pin (Vin) can be connected
directly to the line voltage. The regulator output is internally current limited to 15 mA. When power is applied, the
regulator is enabled and sources current into an external capacitor connected to the Vcc pin. The recommended
capacitance range for the Vcc regulator is 0.1µF to 100 µF. When the voltage on the Vcc pin reaches the
regulation point of 9V, the internal voltage reference (REF) reaches its regulation point of 5V, and the soft-start
capacitor is charged above its shutdown threshold, the controller outputs are enabled. The Buck stage outputs
will remain enabled until Vcc falls below 7V, the REF pin voltage falls below approximately 3V, the SS pin is
forced below the 0.45V shutdown threshold or the line Under-Voltage Lock-Out detector indicates that Vin is out
of range. The push-pull outputs continue switching until the REF pin voltage falls below approximately 3V. In
typical applications, an auxiliary transformer winding is connected through a diode to the Vcc pin. This winding
must raise the Vcc voltage above 9.3V to shut off the internal start-up regulator. Powering VCC from an auxiliary
winding improves efficiency while reducing the controller's power dissipation. The recommended capacitance
range for the Vref regulator output is 0.1µF to 10 µF.
The external VCC capacitor must be sized such that the capacitor maintains a VCC voltage greater than 7V during
the initial start-up. During a fault mode when the converter auxiliary winding is inactive, external current draw on
the VCC line should be limited so the power dissipated in the start-up regulator does not exceed the maximum
power dissipation of the controller.
An external start-up or other bias rail can be used instead of the internal start-up regulator by connecting the VCC
and the VIN pins together and feeding the external bias voltage into the two pins.
Line Under-Voltage Detector
The LM5041B contains a line Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO) circuit. An external set-point resistor divider from
VIN to ground sets the operational range of the converter. The divider must be designed such that the voltage at
the UVLO pin will be greater than 2.5V when VIN is in the desired operating range. If the Under-Voltage threshold
is not met, both HD and LD will be forced to low state and VCC regulator will be disabled while the push-pull
outputs continue switching until the REF pin voltage falls below approximately 3V. ULVO hysteresis is
accomplished with an internal 20 µA current source that is switched on or off into the impedance of the set-point
divider. When the UVLO threshold is exceeded, the current source is activated to instantly raise the voltage at
the UVLO pin. When the UVLO pin falls below the 2.5V threshold, the current source is turned off causing the
voltage at the UVLO pin to fall. The UVLO pin can also be used to implement a remote enable / disable function.
By shorting the UVLO pin to ground, the converter can be disabled.
Buck Stage Control Outputs
The LM5041B Buck switch maximum duty cycle clamp ensures that there will be sufficient off time each cycle to
recharge the bootstrap capacitor used in the high side gate driver. The Buck switch is specified to be off, and the
sync switch on, for at least 250 ns per switching cycle. The Buck stage control outputs (LD and HD) are CMOS
buffers with logic levels of 0 to 5V.
During any fault state or Under-Voltage off state, both HD and LD state will be forced to low by the buck stage
control.

Push-Pull Outputs
The push pull outputs operate continuously at a nominal 50% duty cycle. A distinguishing feature of the
LM5041B is the ability to accurately configure either dead time (both-off) or overlap time (both-on) on the
complementary push-pull outputs. The overlap/dead time magnitude is controlled by a resistor connected to the
TIME pin on the controller. The TIME pin holds one end of the resistor at 2.5V and the other end of the resistor
should be connected to either REF for dead time control setting or to GND for overlap control. The polarity of the
current in the TIME is detected by the LM5041B The magnitude of the overlap/dead time can be calculated as
follows:
Overlap Time (ns) = (3.66 x RSET) + 7
Overlap Time in ns, RSET connected to GND, RSET in kΩ
Dead Time (ns) = (3.69 x RSET) + 21
Dead Time in ns, RSET connected to REF, RSET in kΩ
Recommended RSET programming range: 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ
Current-fed designs require a period of overlap to insure there is a continuous path for the buck inductor current.
Voltage-fed designs require a period of dead time to insure there is no time when the push-pull transformer acts
as a shorted turn to the low impedance sourcing node. The push-pull outputs alternate continuously under all
conditions provided REF the voltage is greater than 3V.

PWM Comparator
The PWM comparator compares the slope compensated current ramp signal to the loop error voltage from the
internal error amplifier (COMP pin). This comparator is optimized for speed in order to achieve minimum
controllable duty cycles. The comparator polarity is such that 0V on the COMP pin will produce zero duty cycle in
the buck stage.
Error Amplifier
An internal high gain wide-bandwidth error amplifier is provided within the LM5041B. The amplifier’s non-inverting
input is tied to a 0.75V reference. The inverting input is connected to the FB pin. In non-isolated applications the
power converter output is connected to the FB pin via the voltage setting resistors. Loop compensation
components are connected between the COMP and FB pins. For most isolated applications the error amplifier
function is implemented on the secondary side of the converter and the internal error amp is not used. The
internal error amplifier is configured as an open drain output and can be disabled by connecting the FB pin to
ground. An internal 5 kΩ pull-up resistor between the 5V reference and the COMP pin can be used as the pull-up
for an opto-coupler in isolated applications.

LM5041B
SNVS605 – MAY 2009
www.ti.com
Current Limit/Current Sense
The LM5041B provides cycle-by-cycle over-current protection. If the voltage at the CS comparator (CS pin
voltage plus slope comp voltage) exceeds 0.5V the present buck stage duty cycle is terminated (cycle by cycle
current limit). A small RC filter located near the controller is recommended to filter current sense signals at the
CS pin. An internal MOSFET discharges the external CS pin for an additional 50 ns at the beginning of each
cycle to reduce the leading edge spike that occurs when the buck stage MOSFET is turned on.
The LM5041B current sense and PWM comparators are very fast, and may respond to short duration noise
pulses. Layout considerations are critical for the current sense filter and sense resistor. The capacitor associated
with the CS filter must be placed close to the device and connected directly to the pins of the controller (CS and
GND). If a current sense transformer is used, both leads of the transformer secondary should be routed to the
sense resistor, which should also be located close to the IC. A resistor may be used for current sensing instead
of a transformer, located in the push-pull transistor sources, but a low inductance type of resistor is required.
When designing with a sense resistor, all of the noise sensitive low power grounds should be connected together
around the IC and a single connection should be made to the high current power ground (sense resistor ground
point).
Oscillator and Sync Capability
The LM5041B oscillator is set by a single external resistor connected between the RT pin and GND. To set a
desired oscillator frequency (F), the necessary RT resistor can be calculated from:
RT =
(1/F) - 235 x 10-9
:
182 x 10-12
(1)
The buck stage will switch at the oscillator frequency and each push-pull output will switch at half the oscillator
frequency in a push-pull configuration. The LM5041B can also be synchronized to an external clock. The external
clock must have a higher frequency than the free running frequency set by the RT resistor. The clock signal
should be capacitively coupled into the RT pin with a 100 pF capacitor. A peak voltage level greater than 3V is
required for detection of the sync pulse. The sync pulse width should be set in the 15 ns to 150 ns range by the
external components. The RT resistor is always required, whether the oscillator is free running or externally
synchronized. The voltage at the RT pin is internally regulated to 2V. The RT resistor should be located very
close to the device and connected directly to the pins of the IC (RT and GND).
Slope Compensation
The PWM comparator compares the current sense signal to the voltage at the COMP pin. The output stage of
the internal error amplifier generally drives the COMP pin. At duty cycles greater than 50%, current mode control
circuits are subject to sub-harmonic oscillation. By adding an additional fixed ramp signal (slope compensation)
to the current sense ramp, oscillations can be avoided. The LM5041B integrates this slope compensation by
buffering the internal oscillator ramp and summing a current ramp generated by the oscillator internally with the
current sense signal. Additional slope compensation may be provided by increasing the source impedance of the
current sense signal.
Soft-Start and Shutdown
The soft-start feature allows the power converter to gradually reach the initial steady state operating point,
thereby reducing start-up stresses and surges. At power on, a 10 µA current is sourced out of the soft-start pin
(SS) to charge an external capacitor. The capacitor voltage will ramp up slowly and will limit the maximum duty
cycle of the buck stage. In the event of a fault as indicated by VCC Under-voltage, line Under-voltage the output
drivers are disabled and the soft-start capacitor is discharged to 0.7V. When the fault condition is no longer
present, a soft-start sequence will begin again and buck stage duty cycle will gradually increase as the soft-start
capacitor is charged.
The SS pin also serves as an enable input of HD and LD. Both HD and LD will be forced to a low state if the SS
pin is below the shutdown threshold of 0.45V.

Thermal Protection
Internal Thermal Shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event that the maximum
junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 165 degrees Celsius, the controller is forced into a
low-power standby state, disabling the output drivers and the bias regulator. This feature is provided to prevent
catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating.
Differences Between LM5041, LM5041A and LM5041B
There are five differences between LM5041, LM5041A and LM5041B. In the LM5041A and the LM5041B
versions, the hiccup mode over-current protection is not employed and the VCC bias regulator is not disabled by
SS pin shutdown state. In the LM5041B version, both HD and LD will be low state when the PWM controller
disabled. In the LM5041 and the LM5041B version, PWM controller is disabled by either a UVLO pin low state or
SS pin shutdown state. Also in the LM5041B version, the REF pin output is not disabled by a UVLO pin low
state. However, if VCC does not receive power from an external source, the UVLO pin low state will disable the
internal VCC regulator and a VCC under-voltage condition will eventually disable REF as the VCC voltage falls.
