LM5041A Cascaded PWM Controller
Check for Samples: LM5041A
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
The LM5041A PWM controller contains all of the
features necessary to implement either current-fed or
voltage-fed push-pull or bridge power converters.
These “Cascaded” topologies are well suited for
multiple output and higher power applications. The
LM5041A’s four control outputs include: the buck
stage controls (HD and LD) and the push-pull control
outputs (PUSH and PULL). Push-pull outputs are
driven at 50% nominal duty cycle at one half of the
switching frequency of the buck stage and can be
configured for either an overlap time (for current-fed
applications) or a both-off time (for voltage-fed
applications). Push-pull stage MOSFETs can be
driven directly from the internal gate drivers while the
buck stage requires an external driver such as the
LM5102. The LM5041A includes a high-voltage startup regulator that operates over a wide input range of
15V to 100V. The PWM controller is designed for
high-speed capability including an oscillator
frequency range up to 1 MHz and total propagation
delays of less than 100ns. Additional features include:
line Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO), soft-start, an
error amplifier, precision voltage reference, and
thermal shutdown.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
1
VIN
Source Input Voltage
Input to start-up regulator. Input range 15V to 100V.
2
FB
Feedback Signal
Inverting input for the internal error amplifier. The noninverting input is connected to a 0.75V reference.
3
COMP
Output of the Internal Error Amplifier
There is an internal 5kΩ resistor pull-up on this pin. The
error amplifier provides an active sink.
4
REF
Precision 5 volt reference output
Maximum output current: 10mA. Locally decouple with a
0.1µF capacitor. Reference stays low until the line UV and
the VCC UV are satisfied.
5
HD
Main Buck PWM control output
Buck switch PWM control output. The maximum duty cycle
clamp for this output corresponds to an off time of typically
240ns per cycle. The LM5101 or LM5102 Buck stage gate
driver can be used to level shift and drive the Buck switch.
6
LD
Sync Switch control output
Sync Switch control output. Inversion of HD output. The
LM5101 or LM5102 lower drive can be used to drive the
synchronous rectifier switch.
7
VCC
Output from the internal high voltage start-up
regulator. Regulated to 9 volts.
If an auxiliary winding raises the voltage on this pin above
the regulation setpoint, the internal start-up regulator will
shutdown, reducing the IC power dissipation.
8
PUSH
Output of the push-pull drivers
Output of the push-pull gate driver. Output capability of
1.5A peak .

PULL
Output of the push-pull drivers
Output of the push-pull gate driver. Output capability of

12
CS
Current sense input
Current sense input to the PWM comparator (CM control).
There is a 50ns leading edge blanking on this pin. Using
separate dedicated comparator, if CS exceeds 0.5V the
outputs will go into cycle by cycle current limit.
13
SS
Soft-start control
An external capacitor and an internal 10uA current source,
set the soft-start ramp.
14
TIME
Push-Pull overlap and dead time control
An external resistor (RSET) sets the overlap time or dead
time for the push-pull outputs. A resistor connected
between TIME and GND produces overlap. A resistor
connected between TIME and REF produces dead time.
15
RT / SYNC
Oscillator timing resistor pin and sync
An external resistor sets the oscillator frequency. This pin
will also accept an external oscillator.
Line Under-Voltage Shutdown
An external divider from the power converter source sets
the shutdown levels. Threshold of operation equals 2.5V.
Hysteresis is set by a switched internal current source
(20µA).
Die substrate
The exposed die attach pad on the WSON package should
be connected to a PCB thermal pad at ground potential.

DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The LM5041A PWM controller contains all of the features necessary to implement either current-fed or voltagefed push-pull or bridge power converters. These “Cascaded” topologies are well suited for multiple output and
higher power applications. The LM5041A’s four control outputs include: the buck stage controls (HD and LD) and
the push-pull control outputs (PUSH and PULL). Push-pull outputs are driven at 50% nominal duty cycle at one
half of the switching frequency of the buck stage and can be configured for either an overlap time (for current-fed
applications) or a both-off time (for voltage-fed applications). Push-pull stage MOSFETs can be driven directly
from the internal gate drivers while the buck stage requires an external driver such as the LM5102. The
LM5041A includes a high-voltage start-up regulator that operates over a wide input range of 15V to 100V. The
PWM controller is designed for high-speed capability including an oscillator frequency range up to 1 MHz and
total propagation delays of less than 100ns. Additional features include: line Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO), softstart, an error amplifier, precision voltage reference, and thermal shutdown.
High Voltage Start-Up Regulator
The LM5041A contains an internal high-voltage start-up regulator, thus the input pin (Vin) can be connected
directly to the line voltage. The regulator output is internally current limited to 15mA. When power is applied, the
regulator is enabled and sources current into an external capacitor connected to the Vcc pin. The recommended
capacitance range for the Vcc regulator is 0.1uF to 100uF. When the voltage on the Vcc pin reaches the
regulation point of 9V and the internal voltage reference (REF) reaches its regulation point of 5V, the controller
outputs are enabled. The Buck stage outputs will remain enabled until Vcc falls below 7V or the line UnderVoltage Lockout detector indicates that Vin is out of range. The push-pull outputs continue switching until the
REF pin voltage falls below approximately 3V. In typical applications, an auxiliary transformer winding is
connected through a diode to the Vcc pin. This winding must raise the Vcc voltage above 9.3V to shut off the
internal start-up regulator. Powering VCC from an auxiliary winding improves efficiency while reducing the
controller's power dissipation. The recommended capacitance range for the Vref regulator output is 0.1uF to
10uF.
The external VCC capacitor must be sized such that the capacitor maintains a VCC voltage greater than 7V during
the initial start-up. During a fault mode when the converter auxiliary winding is inactive, external current draw on
the VCC line should be limited so the power dissipated in the start-up regulator does not exceed the maximum
power dissipation of the controller.
An external start-up or other bias rail can be used instead of the internal start-up regulator by connecting the VCC
and the VIN pins together and feeding the external bias voltage into the two pins.
Line Under-Voltage Detector
The LM5041A contains a line Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) circuit. An external set-point resistor divider from
VIN to ground sets the operational range of the converter. The divider must be designed such that the voltage at
the UVLO pin will be greater than 2.5V when VIN is in the desired operating range. If the Under-Voltage threshold
is not met, all functions of the controller are disabled and the controller will enter a low-power state with input
current
