LM2524D,LM3524D LM2524D/LM3524D Regulating Pulse Width Modulator Literature Number: SNVS766D LM2524D/LM3524D Regulating Pulse Width Modulator General Description The LM3524D family is an improved version of the industry standard LM3524. It has improved specifications and additional features yet is pin for pin compatible with existing 3524 families. New features reduce the need for additional external circuitry often required in the original version. The LM3524D has a 1% precision 5V reference. The current carrying capability of the output drive transistors has been raised to 200 mA while reducing VCEsat and increasing VCE breakdown to 60V. The common mode voltage range of the error-amp has been raised to 5.5V to eliminate the need for a resistive divider from the 5V reference. In the LM3524D the circuit bias line has been isolated from the shut-down pin. This prevents the oscillator pulse amplitude and frequency from being disturbed by shut-down. Also at high frequencies (300 kHz) the max. duty cycle per output has been improved to 44% compared to 35% max. duty cycle in other 3524s. In addition, the LM3524D can now be synchronized externally, through pin 3. Also a latch has been added to insure one pulse per period even in noisy environments. The LM3524D includes double pulse suppression logic that insures when a shut-down condition is removed the state of the T-flip-flop will change only after the first clock pulse has arrived. This feature prevents the same output from being pulsed twice in a row, thus reducing the possibility of core saturation in push-pull designs. Features Fully interchangeable with standard LM3524 family 1% precision 5V reference with thermal shut-down Output current to 200 mA DC 60V output capability Wide common mode input range for error-amp One pulse per period (noise suppression) Improved max. duty cycle at high frequencies Double pulse suppression Synchronize through pin 3 Connection Diagram 865002 Top View Order Number LM2524DN or LM3524DN See NS Package Number N16E Order Number LM3524DM See NS Package Number M16A (c) 2008 National Semiconductor Corporation 8650 www.national.com LM2524D/LM3524D Regulating Pulse Width Modulator May 2, 2008 LM2524D/LM3524D Block Diagram 865001 www.national.com 2 If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the National Semiconductor Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and specifications.

This voltage regulator provides a supply for all internal circuitry of the device and can be used as an external reference. For input voltages of less than 8V the 5V output should be shorted to pin 15, VIN, which disables the 5V regulator. With these pins shorted the input voltage must be limited to a maximum of 6V. If input voltages of 6V-8V are to be used, a preregulator, as shown in Figure 1, must be added. 865005 FIGURE 2. 865010 *Minimum CO of 10 F required for stability. FIGURE 1. OSCILLATOR The LM3524D provides a stable on-board oscillator. Its frequency is set by an external resistor, RT and capacitor, CT. A graph of RT, CT vs oscillator frequency is shown is Figure 2. The oscillator's output provides the signals for triggering an internal flip-flop, which directs the PWM information to the outputs, and a blanking pulse to turn off both outputs during transitions to ensure that cross conduction does not occur. The width of the blanking pulse, or dead time, is controlled by the value of CT, as shown in Figure 3. The recommended values of RT are 1.8 k to 100 k, and for CT, 0.001 F to 0.1 F. If two or more LM3524D's must be synchronized together, the easiest method is to interconnect all pin 3 terminals, tie all pin 7's (together) to a single CT, and leave all pin 6's open except one which is connected to a single RT. This method works well unless the LM3524D's are more than 6 apart. A second synchronization method is appropriate for any circuit layout. One LM3524D, designated as master, must have its RTCT set for the correct period. The other slave LM3524D (s) should each have an RTCT set for a 10% longer period. All pin 3's must then be interconnected to allow the master to properly reset the slave units. The oscillator may be synchronized to an external clock source by setting the internal free-running oscillator frequency 10% slower than the external clock and driving pin 3 with a pulse train (approx. 3V) from the clock. Pulse width should be greater than 50 ns to insure full synchronization. 865006 FIGURE 3. ERROR AMPLIFIER The error amplifier is a differential input, transconductance amplifier. Its gain, nominally 86 dB, is set by either feedback or output loading. This output loading can be done with either purely resistive or a combination of resistive and reactive components. A graph of the amplifier's gain vs output load resistance is shown in Figure 4. 865007 FIGURE 4. www.national.com 8 CURRENT LIMITING The function of the current limit amplifier is to override the error amplifier's output and take control of the pulse width. The output duty cycle drops to about 25% when a current limit sense voltage of 200 mV is applied between the +CL and -CLsense terminals. Increasing the sense voltage approximately 5% results in a 0% output duty cycle. Care should be taken to ensure the -0.7V to +1.0V input common-mode range is not exceeded. In most applications, the current limit sense voltage is produced by a current through a sense resistor. The accuracy of this measurement is limited by the accuracy of the sense resistor, and by a small offset current, typically 100 A, flowing from +CL to -CL. OUTPUT STAGES The outputs of the LM3524D are NPN transistors, capable of a maximum current of 200 mA. These transistors are driven 180 out of phase and have non-committed open collectors and emitters as shown in Figure 6. 865008 FIGURE 5. 865009 FIGURE 6. The amplifier's inputs have a common-mode input range of 1.5V-5.5V. The on board regulator is useful for biasing the inputs to within this range. 9 www.national.com LM2524D/LM3524D The output of the amplifier, or input to the pulse width modulator, can be overridden easily as its output impedance is very high (ZO 5 M). For this reason a DC voltage can be applied to pin 9 which will override the error amplifier and force a particular duty cycle to the outputs. An example of this could be a non-regulating motor speed control where a variable voltage was applied to pin 9 to control motor speed. A graph of the output duty cycle vs the voltage on pin 9 is shown in Figure 5. The duty cycle is calculated as the percentage ratio of each output's ON-time to the oscillator period. Paralleling the outputs doubles the observed duty cycle. LM2524D/LM3524D Typical Applications 865011 FIGURE 7. Positive Regulator, Step-Up Basic Configuration (IIN(MAX) = 80 mA) 865012 FIGURE 8.

Basic Step-Down Switching Regulator 865017 FIGURE 13. Relation of Switch Timing to Inductor Current in Step-Down Regulator Neglecting VSAT, VD, and settling IL+ = IL-; MAX will be further decreased due to switching losses in Q1. For this reason Q1 should be selected to have the maximum possible fT, which implies very fast rise and fall times. CALCULATING INDUCTOR L1 where T = Total Period The above shows the relation between VIN, Vo and duty cycle. as Q1 only conducts during tON. Since IL+ = IL- = 0.4Io Solving the above for L1 The efficiency, , of the circuit is: where: L1 is in Henrys f is switching frequency in Hz 13 www.national.com LM2524D/LM3524D The circuit works as follows: Q1 is used as a switch, which has ON and OFF times controlled by the pulse width modulator. When Q1 is ON, power is drawn from VIN and supplied to the load through L1; VA is at approximately VIN, D1 is reverse biased, and Co is charging. When Q1 turns OFF the inductor L1 will force VA negative to keep the current flowing in it, D1 will start conducting and the load current will flow through D1 and L1. The voltage at VAis smoothed by the L1, Co filter giving a clean DC output. The current flowing through L1 is equal to the nominal DC load current plus some IL which is due to the changing voltage across it. A good rule of thumb is to set ILP-P 40% x Io. BASIC SWITCHING REGULATOR THEORY AND APPLICATIONS The basic circuit of a step-down switching regulator circuit is shown in Figure 12, along with a practical circuit design using the LM3524D in Figure 15. LM2524D/LM3524D Also, see LM1578 data sheet for graphical methods of inductor selection. CALCULATING OUTPUT FILTER CAPACITOR Co: Figure 13 shows L1's current with respect to Q1's tON and tOFF times (VA is at the collector of Q1). This curent must flow to the load and Co. Co's current will then be the difference between IL, and Io. 865019 Ico = IL - Io FIGURE 14. Inductor Current Slope in Step-Down Regulator From Figure 13 it can be seen that current will be flowing into Co for the second half of tON through the first half of tOFF, or a time, tON/2 + tOFF/2. The current flowing for this time is IL/4. The resulting Vc or Vo is described by: A complete step-down switching regulator schematic, using the LM3524D, is illustrated in Figure 15. Transistors Q1 and Q2 have been added to boost the output to 1A. The 5V regulator of the LM3524D has been divided in half to bias the error amplifier's non-inverting input to within its commonmode range. Since each output transistor is on for half the period, actually 45%, they have been paralleled to allow longer possible duty cycle, up to 90%. This makes a lower possible input voltage. The output voltage is set by: where VNI is the voltage at the error amplifier's non-inverting input. Resistor R3 sets the current limit to: Figures 16, 17 and show a PC board layout and stuffing diagram for the 5V, 1A regulator of Figure 15. The regulator's performance is listed in Table 1. For best regulation, the inductor's current cannot be allowed to fall to zero. Some minimum load current Io, and thus inductor current, is required as shown below: www.national.com 14 LM2524D/LM3524D 865020 *Mounted to Staver Heatsink No. V5-1.

Stuffing Diagram, Component Side www.national.com 16 LM2524D/LM3524D THE STEP-UP SWITCHING REGULATOR Figure 18 shows the basic circuit for a step-up switching regulator. In this circuit Q1 is used as a switch to alternately apply VIN across inductor L1. During the time, tON, Q1 is ON and energy is drawn from VIN and stored in L1; D1 is reverse biased and Io is supplied from the charge stored in Co. When Q1 opens, tOFF, voltage V1 will rise positively to the point where D1 turns ON. The output current is now supplied through L1, D1 to the load and any charge lost from Co during tON is replenished. Here also, as in the step-down regulator, the current through L1 has a DC component plus some IL. IL is again selected to be approximately 40% of IL. Figure 19 shows the inductor's current in relation to Q1's ON and OFF times. 865023 FIGURE 18. Basic Step-Up Switching Regulator 865024 FIGURE 19. Relation of Switch Timing to Inductor Current in Step-Up Regulator This equation shows that the input, or inductor, current is larger than the output current by the factor (1 + tON/tOFF). Since this factor is the same as the relation between Vo and VIN, IIN (DC) can also be expressed as: Since IL+ = IL-, VINtON = VotOFF - VINtOFF, and neglecting VSAT and VD1 So far it is assumed = 100%, where the actual efficiency or MAX will be somewhat less due to the saturation voltage of Q1 and forward on voltage of D1. The internal power loss due to these voltages is the average IL current flowing, or IIN, through either VSAT or VD1. For VSAT = VD1 = 1V this power loss becomes IIN(DC) (1V). MAX is then: The above equation shows the relationship between VIN, Vo and duty cycle. In calculating input current IIN(DC), which equals the inductor's DC current, assume first 100% efficiency: for = 100%, POUT = PIN This equation assumes only DC losses, however MAX is further decreased because of the switching time of Q1 and D1. 17 www.national.com LM2524D/LM3524D where: L1 is in henrys, f is the switching frequency in Hz To apply the above theory, a complete step-up switching regulator is shown in Figure 20. Since VIN is 5V, VREF is tied to VIN. The input voltage is divided by 2 to bias the error amplifier's inverting input. The output voltage is: In calculating the output capacitor Co it can be seen that Co supplies I o during tON. The voltage change on Co during this time will be some Vc = Vo or the output ripple of the regulator. Calculation of Co is: The network D1, C1 forms a slow start circuit. This holds the output of the error amplifier initially low thus reducing the duty-cycle to a minimum. Without the slow start circuit the inductor may saturate at turn-on because it has to supply high peak currents to charge the output capacitor from 0V. It should also be noted that this circuit has no supply rejection. By adding a reference voltage at the non-inverting input to the error amplifier, see Figure 21, the input voltage variations are rejected. The LM3524D can also be used in inductorless switching regulators. Figure 22 shows a polarity inverter which if connected to Figure 20 provides a -15V unregulated output. where: Co is in farads, f is the switching frequency, Vo is the p-p output ripple Calculation of inductor L1 is as follows: VIN is applied across L1 www.national.com 18 LM2524D/LM3524D 865025 L1 = > 25 turns No. 24 wire on Ferroxcube No. K300502 Toroid core.

Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
