SG1526/SG2526/SG3526
REGULATING PULSE WIDTH MODULATOR
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The SG1526 is a high performance monolithic pulse width modulator
circuit designed for fixed-frequency switching regulators and other
power control applications. Included in an 18-pin dual-in-line package
are a temperature compensated voltage reference, sawtooth oscillator,
error amplifier, pulse width modulator, pulse metering and steering logic,
and two low impedance power drivers. Also included are protective
features such as soft-start and undervoltage lockout, digital current
limiting, double pulse inhibit, a data latch for single pulse metering,
adjustable deadtime, and provision for symmetry correction inputs. For
ease of interface, all digital control ports are TTL and B-series CMOS
compatible. Active LOW logic design allows wired-OR connections for
maximum flexibility. This versatile device can be used to implement
single-ended or push-pull switching regulators of either polarity, both
transformerless and transformer coupled. The SG1526 is characterized
for operation over the full military ambient junction temperature range of
-55°C to +150°C. The SG2526 is characterized for operation from -25°C
to +150°C, and the SG3526 is characterized for operation from 0°C to
+125°C.

SG1526/SG2526/SG3526
APPLICATION INFORMATION
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The reference regulator of the SG1526 is based on a temperature compensated
zener diode. The circuitry is fully active at supply voltages above +8 volts., and
provides up to 20mA of load current to external circuitry at +5.0 volts. In systems
where additional current is required, an external PNP transistor can be used to
boost the available current. A rugged low frequency audio-type transistor should
be used, and lead lengths between the PWM and transistor should be as short as
possible to minimize the risk of oscillations. Even so, some types of transistors
may require collector-base capacitance for stability. Up to 1amp of load current
can be obtained with excellent regulation if the device selected maintains high
current gain.
FIGURE 17.
EXTENDING REFERENCE OUTPUT CURRENT
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
The undervoltage lockout circuit protects the SG1526 and the power devices it controls from inadequate supply voltage. If
+VIN is too low, the circuit disables the output drivers and holds the RESET pin LOW. This prevents spurious output pulses
while the control circuitry is stabilizing, and holds the soft-start timing capacitor in a discharged state.
The circuit consists of a +1.2 volt bandgap reference and comparator circuit which
is active when the reference voltage has risen to 3VBE’or 1.8 volts at 25°C. When
the reference voltage rises to approximately +4.4 volts, the circuit enables the
output drivers and releases the RESET pin, allowing a normal soft-start. The
comparator has 200mV of hysteresis to minimize oscillation at the trip point. When
+VIN to the PWM is removed and the reference drops to +4.2 volts, the undervoltage circuit pulls RESET LOW again. The soft-start capacitor is immediately
discharged, and the PWM is ready for another soft-start cycle.
The SG1526 can operate from a +5 volt supply by connecting the VREF pin to the
+VIN pin and maintaining the supply between +4.8 and +5.2 volts.
FIGURE 18.
SIMPLIFIED UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
SOFT-START CIRCUIT
The soft-start circuit protects the power transistors and rectifier diodes from high
current surges during power supply turn-on. When supply voltage is first applied
to the SG1526, the undervoltage lockout circuit holds RESET LOW with Q3. Q1
is turned on, which holds the soft-start capacitor voltage at zero. The second
collector of Q1 clamps the output error amplifier to ground, guaranteeing zero duty
cycle at the driver outputs. When the supply voltage reaches normal operating
range, RESET will go HIGH. Q1 turns off, allowing the internal 100µA current
source to charge CS. Q2 clamps the error amplifier output to 1VBE above the
voltage on CS. As the soft-start voltage ramps up to +5 volts, the duty cycle of the
PWM linearly increases to whatever value the voltage regulation loop requires for
an error null. Figure 10 gives the timing relationship between CS and ramp time
to 100% duty cycle.
FIGURE 19.
SOFT-START CIRCUIT SCHEMATIC
DIGITAL CONTROL PORTS
The three digital control ports of the SG1526 are bi-directional. Each pin can drive
TTL and 5 volt CMOS logic directly, up to a fan-out of 10 low-power Schottky gates.
Each pin can also be directly driven by open-collector voltage comparators; fanin is equivalent to 1 low-power Schottky gate. Each port is normally HIGH; the pin
is pulled LOW to activate the particular function. Driving SYNC LOW initiates a
discharge cycle in the oscillator. Pulling SHUTDOWN LOW immediately inhibits
all PWM output pulses. Holding RESET LOW discharges the soft-start capacitor.
The logic threshold is +1.1 volts at 25°C. Noise immunity can be gained at the
expense of fan-out with an external 2K pullup resistor to +5 volts.

OSCILLATOR
FIGURE 21 - OSCILLATOR CONNECTIONS AND WAVEFORMS
The oscillator is programmed for frequency and deadtime with three components: RT, CT, and RD. Two waveforms are
generated: a sawtooth waveform at pin 10 for pulse width modulation, and a logic clock at pin 12. The following procedure
is recommended for choosing timing values:
1. With RD = 0Ω (pin 11 shorted to ground) select values for RT and CT from Figure 7 to give the desired oscillator period.
Remember that the frequency at each driver output is half the oscillator frequency, and the frequency at the +VC terminal
is the same as the oscillator frequency.
2. If more dead time is required, select a larger value of RD using Figure 6 as a guide. At 40kHz dead time increases by
400nSec/ohm.
3. Increasing the dead time will cause the oscillator frequency to decrease slightly. Go back and decrease the value of RT
slightly to bring the frequency back to the nominal design value.
The SG1526 can be synchronized to an external logic clock by programming the oscillator to free-run at a frequency 10% slower
than the sync frequency. A periodic LOW logic pulse approximately 0.5µSec wide at the SYNC pin will then lock the oscillator
to the external frequency.
Multiple devices can be synchronized together by programming one master unit for the desired frequency, and then sharing
its sawtooth and clock waveforms with the slave units. All CT terminals are connected to the CT pin of the master, and all SYNC
terminals are likewise connected to the SYNC pin of the master. Slave RT terminals should not be left open nor should they
be tied to the +5V reference; at least 50K should be connected to each pin. Slave RD terminals may be either left open or
grounded.
ERROR AMPLIFIER
FIGURE 22A
FIGURE 22B
ERROR AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS
The error amplifier is a transconductance design, with an output impedance of 2 megohms and an effective output capacitance
of 100 pF. Since all voltage gain takes place at the output pin, the open-loop gain can be shaped with shunt reactance to ground.
For unity gain stability the amplifier requires an additional external 100 pF to ground, resulting in an open-loop pole at 400 Hz.
The input connections to the error amplifier are determined by the polarity of the switching supply output voltage. For positive
supplies, the common-mode voltage is +5.0 volts and the feedback connections in Figure 22A are used. With negative
supplies, the common-mode voltage is ground and the feedback divider is connected between the negative output and the
+5.0 volt reference voltage, as shown in Figure 22B.

OUTPUT DRIVERS
The totem-pole output drivers of the SG1526 are designed to source and sink 100mA continuously and 200mA peak. Loads
can be driven either from the output pins 13 and 16, or from the +VC pin, as required. Curves for the saturation voltage at these
outputs as a function of load current are found in Figures 14 and 15.
Since the bottom transistor of the totem-pole is allowed to saturate, there is a momentary conduction path from the +VC terminal
to ground during switching. To limit the resulting current spikes a small resistor in series with pin 14 is always recommended.
The resistor value is determined by the driver supply voltage, and should be chosen for 200mA peak currents, as shown in
Figure 25.
