Figure 5: Open Loop Test Circuit. 4/9 SG3524 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The SG3524 is a fixed frequency pulse-withmodulation voltage regulator control circuit. The regulator operates at a frequency that is programmed by one timing resistor (RT) and one timing capacitor (CT). RT established a constant charging current for CT. This results in a linear voltage ramp at CT, which is fed to the comparator providing linear control of the output pulse width by the error amplifier. the SG3524 contains, an on-board 5V regulator that serves as a reference as well as powering the SG3524's internal control circuitry and is also useful in supplying external support functions. This reference voltage is lowered externally by a resistor divider to provide a reference within the common mode range the error amplifier or an external reference may be used. The power supply output is sensed by a second resistor divider network to generale a feedback signal to error amplifier. The amplifier output voltage is then compared to the linear voltage ramp at CT. The resulting modulated pulse out of the high-gain comparator is then steered to the appropriate output pass transistors (QA or QB) by the pulse-steering flip-flop, which is synchronously toggled by the oscillator output. The oscillator output pulse also serves as a blanking pulse to assure both output are never on simultaneously during the transition times. The width of the blanking pulse is controlled by the value of CT. The outputs may be applied in a push-pull configuration in which their frequency is half that of the base oscillator, or paralleled for single-ended applications in which the frequency is equal to that of the oscillator. The output of the error amplifier shares a common input to the comparator with the current limiting at shutdown circuitry and can be overridden by signals from either of these inputs. This common point is also available externally and may be employed to control the gain of, or to compensate, the error amplifier, or to provide additional control to the regulator. RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS Supply voltage VIN Reference Output Current 8 to 40V 0 to 20mA Current trough CT Terminal Timing Resistor, RT - 0.03 to -2mA 1.8 to 100K Timing Capacitor, CT 0.001 to 0.1F TYPICAL APPLICATIONS DATA OSCILLATOR The oscillator controls the frequency of the SG3524 and is programmed by RT and CT ac- cording to the approximate formula: f= 1.18 RT CT where: RT is in K CT is in F f is in KHz Pratical values of CT fall between 0.001 and 0.1F. Pratical values of RT fall between 1.8 and 100K. This results in a frequency range typically from 120Hz to to 500KHz. BLANKING The output pulse of oscillator is used as a blanking pulse at the output. This pulse width is controlled by the value of CT.If small values of CT are required for frequency control, the oscillator output pulse width may still be increased by applying a shunt capacitance of up to 100pF from pin 3 to ground. If still greater dead-time is required, it should be accomplished by limiting the maximum duty cycle by clamping the output of the error amplifier. This can easily be done with the circuit below: Figure 6. SYNCRONOUS OPERATION When an external clock is desired, a clock pulse of approximately 3V can be applied directly to the oscillator output terminal. The impedance to ground at this point is approximately 2K. In this configuration RT CT must be selected for a clock period slightly greater than that the external clock. If two more SG2524 regulators are to be operated synchronously, all oscillator output terminals should be tied together, all CT terminals connected to a single timing capacitor, and timing resistor connected to a single RT terminal. The other RT terminals can be left open or shorted to VREF. Minimum lead lengths should be used between the CT terminals. 5/9 SG3524 Figure 7: Flyback Converter Circuit.
