The error amplifiers exhibit a common-mode voltage range from -0.3 V to VCC - 2 V. The dead-time control comparator has a fixed offset that provides approximately 5% dead time. The on-chip oscillator can be bypassed by terminating RT to the reference output and providing a sawtooth input to CT, or it can drive the common circuits in synchronous multiple-rail power supplies. The uncommitted output transistors provide either common-emitter or emitter-follower output capability. The TL494 device provides for push-pull or singleended output operation, which can be selected through the output-control function. The architecture of this device prohibits the possibility of either output being pulsed twice during push-pull operation. The TL494C device is characterized for operation from 0C to 70C. The TL494I device is characterized for operation from -40C to 85C.

The TL494 is a fixed-frequency pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control circuit. Modulation of output pulses is accomplished by comparing the sawtooth waveform created by the internal oscillator on the timing capacitor (CT) to either of two control signals. The output stage is enabled during the time when the sawtooth voltage is greater than the voltage control signals. As the control signal increases, the time during which the sawtooth input is greater decreases; therefore, the output pulse duration decreases. A pulse-steering flip-flop alternately directs the modulated pulse to each of the two output transistors. For more information on the operation of the TL494, see the application notes located on ti.com. 9.2 Functional Block Diagram OUTPUT CTRL (see Function Table) 13 RT 6 CT 5 Oscillator Q1 1D DTC 4 Dead-Time Control Comparator 0.1 V 0.7 V 1IN+ 1IN- 2 9 Q2 11 PWM Comparator 10 + 2IN+ 2IN- 15 - C2 E2 12 VCC + Reference Regulator - 14 7 FEEDBACK E1 Pulse-Steering Flip-Flop Error Amplifier 2 16 C1 C1 Error Amplifier 1 1 8 3 REF GND 0.7 mA 9.3 Feature Description 9.3.1 5-V Reference Regulator The TL494 internal 5-V reference regulator output is the REF pin. In addition to providing a stable reference, it acts as a preregulator and establishes a stable supply from which the output-control logic, pulse-steering flip-flop, oscillator, dead-time control comparator, and PWM comparator are powered. The regulator employs a band-gap circuit as its primary reference to maintain thermal stability of less than 100-mV variation over the operating freeair temperature range of 0C to 70C. Short-circuit protection is provided to protect the internal reference and preregulator; 10 mA of load current is available for additional bias circuits. The reference is internally programmed to an initial accuracy of 5% and maintains a stability of less than 25-mV variation over an input voltage range of 7 V to 40 V. For input voltages less than 7 V, the regulator saturates within 1 V of the input and tracks it. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 1983-2017, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: TL494 TL494 www.ti.com SLVS074H - JANUARY 1983 - REVISED MARCH 2017 Feature Description (continued) 9.3.2 Oscillator The oscillator provides a positive sawtooth waveform to the dead-time and PWM comparators for comparison to the various control signals. The frequency of the oscillator is programmed by selecting timing components RT and CT. The oscillator charges the external timing capacitor, CT, with a constant current, the value of which is determined by the external timing resistor, RT. This produces a linear-ramp voltage waveform. When the voltage across CT reaches 3 V, the oscillator circuit discharges it, and the charging cycle is reinitiated. The charging current is determined by the formula: 3V ICHARGE = RT (1) The period of the sawtooth waveform is: 3 V CT T= ICHARGE (2) The frequency of the oscillator becomes: 1 fOSC = R T CT (3) However, the oscillator frequency is equal to the output frequency only for single-ended applications. For pushpull applications, the output frequency is one-half the oscillator frequency. Single-ended applications: 1 f= R T CT (4) Push-pull applications: 1 f= 2RT CT (5) 9.3.3 Dead-time Control The dead-time control input provides control of the minimum dead time (off time). The output of the comparator inhibits switching transistors Q1 and Q2 when the voltage at the input is greater than the ramp voltage of the oscillator. An internal offset of 110 mV ensures a minimum dead time of 3% with the dead-time control input grounded. Applying a voltage to the dead-time control input can impose additional dead time. This provides a linear control of the dead time from its minimum of 3% to 100% as the input voltage is varied from 0 V to 3.3 V, respectively. With full-range control, the output can be controlled from external sources without disrupting the error amplifiers. The dead-time control input is a relatively high-impedance input (II < 10 A) and should be used where additional control of the output duty cycle is required. However, for proper control, the input must be terminated. An open circuit is an undefined condition. 9.3.4 Comparator The comparator is biased from the 5-V reference regulator. This provides isolation from the input supply for improved stability. The input of the comparator does not exhibit hysteresis, so protection against false triggering near the threshold must be provided. The comparator has a response time of 400 ns from either of the controlsignal inputs to the output transistors, with only 100 mV of overdrive. This ensures positive control of the output within one-half cycle for operation within the recommended 300-kHz range.

For this, the ramp voltage across timing capacitor CT is compared to the control signal present at the output of the error amplifiers. The timing capacitor input incorporates a series diode that is omitted from the control signal input. This requires the control signal (error amplifier output) to be 0.7 V greater than the voltage across CT to inhibit the output logic, and ensures maximum duty cycle operation without requiring the control voltage to sink to a true ground potential. The output pulse width varies from 97% of the period to 0 as the voltage present at the error amplifier output varies from 0.5 V to 3.5 V, respectively. 9.3.6 Error Amplifiers Both high-gain error amplifiers receive their bias from the VI supply rail. This permits a common-mode input voltage range from -0.3 V to 2 V less than VI. Both amplifiers behave characteristically of a single-ended singlesupply amplifier, in that each output is active high only. This allows each amplifier to pull up independently for a decreasing output pulse-width demand. With both outputs ORed together at the inverting input node of the PWM comparator, the amplifier demanding the minimum pulse out dominates. The amplifier outputs are biased low by a current sink to provide maximum pulse width out when both amplifiers are biased off. 9.3.7 Output-Control Input The output-control input determines whether the output transistors operate in parallel or push-pull. This input is the supply source for the pulse-steering flip-flop. The output-control input is asynchronous and has direct control over the output, independent of the oscillator or pulse-steering flip-flop. The input condition is intended to be a fixed condition that is defined by the application. For parallel operation, the output-control input must be grounded. This disables the pulse-steering flip-flop and inhibits its outputs. In this mode, the pulses seen at the output of the dead-time control/PWM comparator are transmitted by both output transistors in parallel. For pushpull operation, the output-control input must be connected to the internal 5-V reference regulator. Under this condition, each of the output transistors is enabled, alternately, by the pulse-steering flip-flop. 9.3.8 Output Transistors Two output transistors are available on the TL494. Both transistors are configured as open collector/open emitter, and each is capable of sinking or sourcing up to 200 mA. The transistors have a saturation voltage of less than 1.3 V in the common-emitter configuration and less than 2.5 V in the emitter-follower configuration. The outputs are protected against excessive power dissipation to prevent damage, but do not employ sufficient current limiting to allow them to be operated as current-source outputs. 9.4 Device Functional Modes When the OUTPUT CTRL pin is tied to ground, the TL494 is operating in single-ended or parallel mode. When the OUTPUT CTRL pin is tied to VREF, the TL494 is operating in normal push-pull operation. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 1983-2017, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: TL494 TL494 www.ti.com SLVS074H - JANUARY 1983 - REVISED MARCH 2017 10 Application and Implementation NOTE Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness.

If the output must be regulated to exactly 5.0 V, a 10-k potentiometer can be used in place of R8 to provide an adjustment. To increase the stability of the error-amplifier circuit, the output of the error amplifier is fed back to the inverting input through RT, reducing the gain to 101. 10.2.2.2.3 Current-Limiting Amplifier The power supply was designed for a 10-A load current and an IL swing of 1.5 A, therefore, the short-circuit current should be: I ISC = IO + L = 10.75 A (10) 2 The current-limiting circuit is shown in Figure 12. R2 4 NY TL494 TL494 15 14 R1 1 NY + VO VREF Load 16 R13 0.1 Y Figure 12. Current-Limiting Circuit Resistors R1 and R2 set the reference of approximately 1 V on the inverting input of the current-limiting amplifier. Resistor R13, in series with the load, applies 1 V to the non-inverting terminal of the current-limiting amplifier when the load current reaches 10 A. The output pulse width reduces accordingly. The value of R13 is calculated in Equation 11. 1V R13 = = 0.1W 10 A (11) 10.2.2.2.4 Soft Start and Dead Time To reduce stress on the switching transistors at the start-up time, the start-up surge that occurs as the output filter capacitor charges must be reduced. The availability of the dead-time control makes implementation of a soft-start circuit relatively simple (see Figure 13).

Soft-Start Circuit The soft-start circuit allows the pulse width at the output to increase slowly (see Figure 13) by applying a negative slope waveform to the dead-time control input (pin 4). Initially, capacitor C2 forces the dead-time control input to follow the 5-V regulator, which disables the outputs (100% dead time). As the capacitor charges through R6, the output pulse width slowly increases until the control loop takes command. With a resistor ratio of 1:10 for R6 and R7, the voltage at pin 4 after start-up is 0.1 x 5 V, or 0.5 V. The soft-start time generally is in the range of 25 to 100 clock cycles. If 50 clock cycles at a 20-kHz switching rate is selected, the soft-start time is: 1 1 t= = = 50 msper clock cycle f 20kHz (12) The value of the capacitor then is determined by: soft - start time 50 ms 50 cycles C2 = = = 2.5 mF R6 1 kW (13) This helps eliminate any false signals that might be created by the control circuit as power is applied. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 1983-2017, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: TL494 TL494 www.ti.com SLVS074H - JANUARY 1983 - REVISED MARCH 2017 Typical Application (continued) 10.2.2.3 Inductor Calculations The switching circuit used is shown in Figure 39.

An electrolytic capacitor can be modeled as a series connection of an inductance, a resistance, and a capacitance. To provide good filtering, the ripple frequency must be far below the frequencies at which the series inductance becomes important. So, the two components of interest are the capacitance and the effective series resistance (ESR). The maximum ESR is calculated according to the relation between the specified peak-to-peak ripple voltage and the peak-to-peak ripple current. DVO(ripple) V = 0.067 W ESR(max) = DIL 1.5 A (14) The minimum capacitance of C3 necessary to maintain the VO ripple voltage at less than the 100-mV design objective is calculated according to Equation 15: DIL 1.5 A C3 = = = 94 mF 8f DVO 8 20 103 0.1 V (15) A 220-mF, 60-V capacitor is selected because it has a maximum ESR of 0.074 and a maximum ripple current of 2.8 A. 10.2.2.5 Transistor Power-Switch Calculations The transistor power switch was constructed with an NTE153 pnp drive transistor and an NTE331 npn output transistor. These two power devices were connected in a pnp hybrid Darlington circuit configuration (see Figure 15).

Power-Switch Section The hybrid Darlington circuit must be saturated at a maximum output current of IO + IL/2 or 10.8 A. The Darlington hFE at 10.8 A must be high enough not to exceed the 250-mA maximum output collector current of the TL494. Based on published NTE153 and NTE331 specifications, the required power-switch minimum drive was calculated by Equation 16 through Equation 18 to be 144 mA: hFE (Q1) at IC of 3 A = 15 (16) hFE (Q2) at IC of 10.0 A = 5 (17) I IO + L 2 144mA iB hFE (Q2) hFE (Q1) (18) The value of R10 was calculated by: V - [VBE (Q1) + VCE (TL494)] 32 - (1.5 + 0.7) R10 I = iB 0.144 R10 207 W (19) Based on these calculations, the nearest standard resistor value of 220 was selected for R10. Resistors R11 and R12 permit the discharge of carriers in switching transistors when they are turned off. The power supply described demonstrates the flexibility of the TL494 PWM control circuit. This power-supply design demonstrates many of the power-supply control methods provided by the TL494, as well as the versatility of the control circuit. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 1983-2017, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: TL494 TL494 www.ti.com SLVS074H - JANUARY 1983 - REVISED MARCH 2017 10.2.3 Application Curves for Output Characteristics VREF - Reference Voltage - (V) 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 VI - Input Voltage - (V) Figure 16.

This input supply should be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the device, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. A tantalum capacitor with a value of 47 F is a typical choice, however this may vary depending upon the output power being delivered. 12 Layout 12.1 Layout Guidelines Always try to use a low EMI inductor with a ferrite type closed core. Some examples would be toroid and encased E core inductors. Open core can be used if they have low EMI characteristics and are located a bit more away from the low power traces and components. Make the poles perpendicular to the PCB as well if using an open core. Stick cores usually emit the most unwanted noise. 12.1.1 Feedback Traces Try to run the feedback trace as far from the inductor and noisy power traces as possible. You would also like the feedback trace to be as direct as possible and somewhat thick. These two sometimes involve a trade-off, but keeping it away from inductor EMI and other noise sources is the more critical of the two. Run the feedback trace on the side of the PCB opposite of the inductor with a ground plane separating the two. 12.1.2 Input/Output Capacitors When using a low value ceramic input filter capacitor, it should be located as close to the VCC pin of the IC as possible. This will eliminate as much trace inductance effects as possible and give the internal IC rail a cleaner voltage supply. Some designs require the use of a feed-forward capacitor connected from the output to the feedback pin as well, usually for stability reasons. In this case it should also be positioned as close to the IC as possible. Using surface mount capacitors also reduces lead length and lessens the chance of noise coupling into the effective antenna created by through-hole components. 12.1.3 Compensation Components External compensation components for stability should also be placed close to the IC. Surface mount components are recommended here as well for the same reasons discussed for the filter capacitors. These should not be located very close to the inductor either. 12.1.4 Traces and Ground Planes Make all of the power (high current) traces as short, direct, and thick as possible. It is good practice on a standard PCB board to make the traces an absolute minimum of 15 mils (0.381 mm) per Ampere. The inductor, output capacitors, and output diode should be as close to each other possible. This helps reduce the EMI radiated by the power traces due to the high switching currents through them. This will also reduce lead inductance and resistance as well, which in turn reduces noise spikes, ringing, and resistive losses that produce voltage errors. The grounds of the IC, input capacitors, output capacitors, and output diode (if applicable) should be connected close together directly to a ground plane. It would also be a good idea to have a ground plane on both sides of the PCB. This will reduce noise as well by reducing ground loop errors as well as by absorbing more of the EMI radiated by the inductor. For multi-layer boards with more than two layers, a ground plane can be used to separate the power plane (where the power traces and components are) and the signal plane (where the feedback and compensation and components are) for improved performance. On multi-layer boards the use of vias will be required to connect traces and different planes. It is good practice to use one standard via per 200 mA of current if the trace will need to conduct a significant amount of current from one plane to the other. Arrange the components so that the switching current loops curl in the same direction. Due to the way switching regulators operate, there are two power states. One state when the switch is on and one when the switch is off. During each state there will be a current loop made by the power components that are currently conducting. Place the power components so that during each of the two states the current loop is conducting in the same direction. This prevents magnetic field reversal caused by the traces between the two half-cycles and reduces radiated EMI. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 1983-2017, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: TL494 TL494 www.ti.com SLVS074H - JANUARY 1983 - REVISED MARCH 2017 12.2 Layout Example LEGEND Power or GND Plane VIA to Power Plane VIA to GND Plane 2IN+ 16 1IN 2IN 15 3 FEEDBACK REF 14 4 DTC OUTPUT CTRL 13 5 CT VCC 12 6 RT C2 11 7 GND E2 10 8 C1 E1 9 2 VCC Output 1IN+ TL494 1 GND Figure 17.
