The SG3525A, SG3527A pulse width modulator control circuits offer
improved performance and lower external parts count when implemented for
controlling all types of switching power supplies. The on–chip +5.1 V
reference is trimmed to ±1% and the error amplifier has an input
common–mode voltage range that includes the reference voltage, thus
eliminating the need for external divider resistors. A sync input to the
oscillator enables multiple units to be slaved or a single unit to be
synchronized to an external system clock. A wide range of deadtime can be
programmed by a single resistor connected between the CT and Discharge
pins. These devices also feature built–in soft–start circuitry , requiring only an
external timing capacitor . A shutdown pin 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. The under voltage lockout inhibits the outputs and the
changing of the soft–start capacitor when VCC is below nominal. The output
stages are totem–pole design capable of sinking and sourcing in excess of
200 mA. The output stage of the SG3525A features NOR logic resulting in a
low output for an off–state while the SG3527A utilized OR logic which gives a
high output when off.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Shutdown Options (See Block diagram, front page)
Since both the compensation and soft–start terminals
(Pins 9 and 8) have current source pull–ups, either can
readily accept a pull–down signal which only has to sink a
maximum of 100 µA to turn off the outputs. This is subject to
the added requirement of discharging whatever external
capacitance may be attached to these pins.
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 turn–off signal to
the outputs; and a 150 µA current sink begins to discharge
the external soft–start capacitor . If the shutdown command is
short, the PWM signal is terminated without significant
discharge of the soft–start capacitor, thus, allowing, for
example, a convenient implementation of pulse–by–pulse
current limiting. Holding Pin 10 high for a longer duration,
however, will ultimately discharge this external capacitor,
recycling slow turn–on upon release.
Pin 10 should not be left floating as noise pickup could
conceivably interrupt normal operation.
