description
The TL594 incorporates all the functions required in the construction of a pulse-width-modulation control circuit
on a single chip. Designed primarily for power-supply control, these devices offer the systems engineer the
flexibility to tailor the power-supply control circuitry to a specific application.
The TL594 contains two error amplifiers, an on-chip adjustable oscillator, a dead-time control (DTC)
comparator, a pulse-steering control flip-flop, a 5-V regulator with a precision of 1%, an undervoltage lockout
control circuit, and output control circuitry.
The error amplifiers exhibit a common-mode voltage range from –0.3 V to VCC –2 V. The DTC comparator has
a fixed offset that provides approximately 5% dead time. The on-chip oscillator can be bypassed by terminating
RT to the reference output and providing a sawtooth input to CT, or it can be used to drive the common circuitry
in synchronous multiple-rail power supplies.
The uncommitted output transistors provide either common-emitter or emitter-follower output capability. Each
device provides for push-pull or single-ended output operation, with selection by means of the output-control
function. The architecture of these devices prohibits the possibility of either output being pulsed twice during
push-pull operation. The undervoltage lockout control circuit locks the outputs off until the internal circuitry is
operational.
The TL594C is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The TL594I is characterized for operation from
–40°C to 85°C.

† Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. All voltage values, except differential voltages, are with respect to the network ground terminal.
2. Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable
ambient temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA)/θJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can impact reliability.
3. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51, except for through-hole packages, which use a trace
length of zero.
