UC1525A/27A UC2525A/27A UC3525A/27A Regulating Pulse Width Modulators FEATURES DESCRIPTION • 8 to 35V Operation The UC1525A/1527A series of pulse width modulator integrated circuits are designed to offer improved performance and lowered external parts count when used in designing all types of switching power supplies. The on-chip +5.1V reference is trimmed to ±1% and the input common-mode range of the error amplifier includes the reference voltage, eliminating external resistors. A sync input to the oscillator allows multiple units to be slaved or a single unit to be synchronized to an external system clock. A single resistor between the CT and the discharge terminals provides a wide range of dead-time adjustment. These devices also feature built-in soft-start circuitry with only an external timing capacitor required. A shutdown terminal controls both the soft-start circuitry and the output stages, providing instantaneous turn off through the PWM latch with pulsed shutdown, as well as soft-start recycle with longer shutdown commands. These functions are also controlled by an undervoltage lockout which keeps the outputs off and the soft-start capacitor discharged for sub-normal input voltages. This lockout circuitry includes approximately 500mV of hysteresis for jitter-free operation. Another feature of these PWM circuits is a latch following the comparator. Once a PWM pulse has been terminated for any reason, the outputs will remain off for the duration of the period. The latch is reset with each clock pulse. The output stages are totem-pole designs capable of sourcing or sinking in excess of 200mA. The UC1525A output stage features NOR logic, giving a LOW output for an OFF state. The UC1527A utilizes OR logic which results in a HIGH output level when OFF. • 5.1V Reference Trimmed to ±1% • 100Hz to 500kHz Oscillator Range • Separate Oscillator Sync Terminal • Adjustable Deadtime Control • Internal Soft-Start • Pulse-by-Pulse Shutdown • Input Undervoltage Lockout with Hysteresis • Latching PWM to Prevent Multiple Pulses • Dual Source/Sink Output Drivers BLOCK DIAGRAM OS C VREF OUT 16 GROUND 12 3 RT 6 5 DIS CHARGE 7 VC 11 OUTP UT A 14 OUTP UT B 13 VC 11 OUTP UT A 14 OUTP UT B To inte rna l circuitry Flip Flop OS C CT 13 NOR UVLO Lockout Re fe re nce Re gula tor +VIN 15 S YNC 4 NOR UC1525A Output S ta ge COMP COMP ENS ATION 9 INV INP UT 1 NI INP UT 2 S OFTS TART 8 Error Amp VREF S R P WM La tch OR S 50 µA OR 3 kΩ S HUTDOWN 10 5 kΩ UC1527A Output S ta ge SLUS191B - February 1997 - Revised June 2005 UC1525A/27A UC2525A/27A UC3525A/27A RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS (Note 3) ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS(Note 1) Supply Voltage, (+VIN). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +40V Collector Supply Voltage (VC) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +40V Logic Inputs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . –0.3V to +5.5V Analog Inputs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . –0.3V to +VIN Output Current, Source or Sink . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 500mA Reference Output Current . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50mA Oscillator Charging Current . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5mA Power Dissipation at TA = +25°C (Note 2). . . . . . . . . . 1000mW Power Dissipation at TC = +25°C (Note 2) . . . . . . . . . 2000mW Operating Junction Temperature . . . . . . . . . . –55°C to +150°C Storage Temperature Range . . . . . . . . . . . . . –65°C to +150°C Lead Temperature (Soldering, 10 seconds) . . . . . . . . . +300°C Note 1: Values beyond which damage may occur.

UC1525A output saturation characteristics. For single-ended supplies, the driver outputs are grounded. The VC terminal is switched to ground by the totem-pole source transistors on alternate oscillator cycles. In conventional push-pull bipolar designs, forward base drive is controlled by R1-R3. Rapid turn-off times for the power devices are achieved with speed-up capacitors C1 and C2. The low source impedance of the output drivers provides rapid charging of power FET Input capacitance while minimizing external components. Low power transformers can be driven by the UC1525A. Automatic reset occurs during dead time, when both ends of the primary winding are switched to ground. 5 UC1525A/27A UC2525A/27A UC3525A/27A UC1525A oscillator schematic.

An alternate approach is the use of the shutdown circuitry of Pin 10 which has been improved to enhance the available shutdown options. Activating this circuit by applying a positive signal on Pin 10 performs two functions; the PWM latch is immediately set providing the fastest Pin 10 should not be left floating as noise pickup could conceivably interrupt normal operation. All transitions of the voltage on pin 10 should be within the time frame of one clock cycle and not repeated at a frequency higher than 10 clock cycles. Oscillator Charge Time vs RT and CT.
