UC1825 UC2825 UC3825 High Speed PWM Controller FEATURES DESCRIPTION • Compatible with Voltage or Current Mode Topologies • Practical Operation Switching Frequencies to 1MHz • 50ns Propagation Delay to Output • High Current Dual Totem Pole Outputs (1.5A Peak) The UC1825 family of PWM control ICs is optimized for high frequency switched mode power supply applications. Particular care was given to minimizing propagation delays through the comparators and logic circuitry while maximizing bandwidth and slew rate of the error amplifier. This controller is designed for use in either currentmode or voltage mode systems with the capability for input voltage feed-forward. • Wide Bandwidth Error Amplifier • Fully Latched Logic with Double Pulse Suppression • Pulse-by-Pulse Current Limiting • Soft Start / Max. Duty Cycle Control • Under-Voltage Lockout with Hysteresis • Low Start Up Current (1.1mA) • Trimmed Bandgap Reference (5.1V ±1%) Protection circuitry includes a current limit comparator with a 1V threshold, a TTL compatible shutdown port, and a soft start pin which will double as a maximum duty cycle clamp. The logic is fully latched to provide jitter free operation and prohibit multiple pulses at an output. An under-voltage lockout section with 800mV of hysteresis assures low start up current. During under-voltage lockout, the outputs are high impedance. These devices feature totem pole outputs designed to source and sink high peak currents from capacitive loads, such as the gate of a power MOSFET. The on state is designed as a high level.

To assure proper performance of the UC1825 follow these rules: 1) Use a ground plane. 2) Damp or clamp parasitic inductive kick energy from the gate of driven MOSFETs. Do not allow the output pins to ring below ground. A series gate resistor or a shunt 1 Amp Schottky diode at the output pin will serve this purpose. 3) Bypass VCC, VC, and VREF. Use 0.1µF monolithic ceramic capacitors with low equivalent series inductance. Allow less than 1 cm of total lead length for each capacitor between the bypassed pin and the ground plane. 4) Treat the timing capacitor, CT, like a bypass capacitor.

The ramp generator components, RT and CR are chosen so that the ramp at Pin 9 crosses the 1V threshold at the same time the desired maximum volt-second product is reached. The delay through the functional nor block must be such that the ramp capacitor can be completely discharged during the minimum deadtime.
