DESCRIPTION
The LM5035B Half-Bridge Controller/Gate Driver
contains all of the features necessary to implement
half-bridge topology power converters using voltage
mode control with line voltage feed-forward.
The LM5035B is a functional variant of the LM5035A
half-bridge PWM controller. The LM5035B provides
higher maximum duty cycle and higher start-up
regulator output current than the LM5035A or
LM5035. Also, the Synchronous Rectifier drive
outputs of the LM5035B are held low in shutdown
modes.
The LM5035, LM5035A, and LM5035B include a
floating high-side gate driver, which is capable of
operating with supply voltages up to 105V. Both the
high-side and low-side gate drivers are capable of 2A
peak. An internal high voltage startup regulator is
included, along with programmable line undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) and overvoltage protection (OVP).
The oscillator is programmed with a single resistor to
frequencies up to 2MHz. The oscillator can also be
synchronized to an external clock. A current sense
input and a programmable timer provide cycle-bycycle current limit and adjustable hiccup mode
overload protection.The differences between LM5035,
LM5035A, LM5035B, and LM5035C are summarized
in Table 2.

RAMP
Modulator ramp signal
An external RC circuit from VIN sets the ramp slope. This pin is
discharged at the conclusion of every cycle by an internal FET.
Discharge is initiated by either the internal clock or the Volt •
Second clamp comparator.

24
UVLO
Line Under-Voltage Lockout
An external voltage divider from the power source sets the
shutdown and standby comparator levels. When UVLO reaches the
0.4V threshold the VCC and REF regulators are enabled. When
UVLO reaches the 1.25V threshold, the SS pin is released and the
device enters the active mode. Hysteresis is set by an internal
current sink that pulls 23 µA from the external resistor divider.
3
2
OVP
Line Over-Voltage Protection
An external voltage divider from the power source sets the
shutdown levels. The threshold is 1.25V. Hysteresis is set by an
internal current source that sources 23µA into the external resistor
divider.

3
COMP
Input to the Pulse Width Modulator
An external opto-coupler connected to the COMP pin sources
current into an internal NPN current mirror. The PWM duty cycle is
maximum with zero input current, while 1mA reduces the duty cycle
to zero. The current mirror improves the frequency response by
reducing the AC voltage across the opto-coupler detector.
5
4
RT
Oscillator Frequency Control and
Sync Clock Input.
Normally biased at 2V. An external resistor connected between RT
and AGND sets the internal oscillator frequency. The internal
oscillator can be synchronized to an external clock with a frequency
higher than the free running frequency set by the RT resistor.

CS
Current Sense input for current
limit
If CS exceeds 0.25V the output pulse will be terminated, entering
cycle-by-cycle current limit. An internal switch holds CS low for 50ns
after HO or LO switches high to blank leading edge transients.

If cycle-by-cycle current limit is exceeded during any cycle, a 22 µA
current is sourced to the RES pin capacitor. If the RES capacitor
voltage reaches 2.5V, the soft-start capacitor will be fully discharged
and then released with a pull-up current of 1.2µA. After the first
output pulse at LO (when SS > COMP offset, typically 1V), the SS
pin charging current will revert to 110 µA.

Soft-start Input
Application Information
An internal 110 µA current source charges an external capacitor to
set the soft-start rate. During a current limit restart sequence, the
internal current source is reduced to 1.2µA to increase the delay
before retry.
These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The LM5035B PWM controller contains all of the features necessary to implement half-bridge voltage-mode
controlled power converters. The LM5035B provides two gate driver outputs to directly drive the primary side
power MOSFETs and two signal level outputs to control secondary synchronous rectifiers through an isolation
interface. Secondary side drivers, such as the LM5110, are typically used to provide the necessary gate drive
current to control the sync MOSFETs. Synchronous rectification allows higher conversion efficiency and greater
power density than conventional PN or Schottky rectifier techniques. The LM5035B can be configured to operate
with bias voltages ranging from 8V to 105V. Additional features include line under-voltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle
current limit, voltage feed-forward compensation, hiccup mode fault protection with adjustable delays, soft-start, a
2MHz capable oscillator with synchronization capability, precision reference, thermal shutdown and
programmable volt•second clamping. These features simplify the design of voltage-mode half-bridge DC-DC
power converters. The Functional Block Diagram is shown in Figure 13.
High-Voltage Start-Up Regulator
The LM5035B contains an internal high voltage start-up regulator that allows the input pin (VIN) to be connected
directly to a nominal 48 VDC input voltage. The regulator input can withstand transients up to 105V. The
regulator output at VCC (7.6V) is internally current limited to 58mA minimum. When the UVLO pin potential is
greater than 0.4V, the VCC regulator is enabled to charge an external capacitor connected to the VCC pin. The
VCC regulator provides power to the voltage reference (REF) and the output drivers (LO, SR1 and SR2). When
the voltage on the VCC pin exceeds the UVLO threshold of 7.6V, the internal voltage reference (REF) reaches
its regulation setpoint of 5V and the UVLO voltage is greater than 1.25V, the controller outputs are enabled. The
value of the VCC capacitor depends on the total system design, and its start-up characteristics. The
recommended range of values for the VCC capacitor is 0.1 µF to 100 µF.
The VCC under-voltage comparator threshold is lowered to 6.2V (typical) after VCC reaches the regulation setpoint. If VCC falls below this value, the outputs are disabled, and the soft-start capacitor is discharged. If VCC
increases above 7.6V, the outputs will be enabled and a soft-start sequence will commence.
The internal power dissipation of the LM5035B can be reduced by powering VCC from an external supply. In
typical applications, an auxiliary transformer winding is connected through a diode to the VCC pin. This winding
must raise the VCC voltage above 8.3V to shut off the internal start-up regulator. Powering VCC from an
auxiliary winding improves efficiency while reducing the controller’s power dissipation. The under-voltage
comparator circuit will still function in this mode, requiring that VCC never falls below 6.2V during the start-up
sequence.
During a fault mode, when the converter auxiliary winding is inactive, external current draw on the VCC line
should be limited such that the power dissipated in the start-up regulator does not exceed the maximum power
dissipation of the IC package.
An external DC bias voltage can be used instead of the internal regulator by connecting the external bias voltage
to both the VCC and the VIN pins. The external bias must be greater than 8.3V to exceed the VCC UVLO
threshold and less than the VCC maximum operating voltage rating (15V).
Line Under-Voltage Detector
The LM5035B contains a dual level Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) circuit. When the UVLO pin voltage is below
0.4V, the controller is in a low current shutdown mode. When the UVLO pin voltage is greater than 0.4V but less
than 1.25V, the controller is in standby mode. In standby mode the VCC and REF bias regulators are active
while the controller outputs are disabled. When the VCC and REF outputs exceed the VCC and REF undervoltage thresholds and the UVLO pin voltage is greater than 1.25V, the outputs are enabled and normal
operation begins. An external set-point voltage divider from VIN to GND can be used to set the minimum
operating voltage of the converter. The divider must be designed such that the voltage at the UVLO pin will be
greater than 1.25V when VIN enters the desired operating range. UVLO hysteresis is accomplished with an
internal 23 µA current sink that is switched on or off into the impedance of the set-point divider. When the UVLO
threshold is exceeded, the current sink is deactivated to quickly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin. When the
UVLO pin voltage falls below the 1.25V threshold, the current sink is enabled causing the voltage at the UVLO
pin to quickly fall. The hysteresis of the 0.4V shutdown comparator is internally fixed at 100 mV.

The UVLO pin can also be used to implement various remote enable / disable functions. Turning off a converter
by forcing the UVLO pin to the standby condition provides a controlled soft-stop. See the Soft Start section for
more details.
Line Over Voltage / Load Over Voltage / Remote Thermal Protection
The LM5035B provides a multi-purpose OVP pin that supports several fault protection functions. When the OVP
pin voltage exceeds 1.25V, the controller is held in standby mode which immediately halts the PWM pulses at
the HO and LO pins. In standby mode, the VCC and REF bias regulators are active while the controller outputs
are disabled. When the OVP pin voltage falls below the 1.25V OVP threshold, the outputs are enabled and
normal soft-start sequence begins. Hysteresis is accomplished with an internal 23 µA current source that is
switched on or off into the impedance of the OVP pin set-point divider. When the OVP threshold is exceeded, the
current source is enabled to quickly raise the voltage at the OVP pin. When the OVP pin voltage falls below the
1.25V threshold, the current source is disabled causing the voltage at the OVP pin to quickly fall.
Several examples of the use of this pin are provided in the Application Information section.
Reference
The REF pin is the output of a 5V linear regulator that can be used to bias an opto-coupler transistor and
external housekeeping circuits. The regulator output is internally current limited to 15mA (minimum).
Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit
The CS pin is driven by a signal representative of the transformer primary current. If the voltage sensed at CS
pin exceeds 0.25V, the current sense comparator terminates the HO or LO output driver pulse. If the high current
condition persists, the controller operates in a cycle-by-cycle current limit mode with duty cycle determined by the
current sense comparator instead of the PWM comparator. Cycle-by-cycle current limiting may trigger the hiccup
mode restart cycle depending on the configuration of the RES pin (see below).
A small R-C filter connect to the CS pin and located near the controller is recommended to suppress noise. An
internal 32Ω MOSFET connected to the CS input discharges the external current sense filter capacitor at the
conclusion of every cycle. The discharge MOSFET remains on for an additional 50 ns after the HO or LO driver
switches high to blank leading edge transients in the current sensing circuit. Discharging the CS pin filter each
cycle and blanking leading edge spikes reduces the filtering requirements and improves the current sense
response time.
The current sense comparator is very fast and responds to short duration noise pulses. Layout considerations
are critical for the current sense filter and sense resistor. The capacitor associated with the CS filter must be
placed very close to the device and connected directly to the CS and AGND pins. If a current sense transformer
is used, both leads of the transformer secondary should be routed to the filter network, which should be located
close to the IC. If a sense resistor located in the source of the main MOSFET switch is used for current sensing,
a low inductance type of resistor is required. When designing with a current sense resistor, all of the noise
sensitive low power ground connections should be connected together near the AGND pin, and a single
connection should be made to the power ground (sense resistor ground point).
Overload Protection Timer
The LM5035B provides a current limit restart timer to disable the outputs and force a delayed restart (hiccup
mode) if a current limit condition is repeatedly sensed. The number of cycle-by-cycle current limit events required
to trigger the restart is programmable by the external capacitor at the RES pin. During each PWM cycle, the
LM5035B either sources or sinks current from the RES pin capacitor. If no current limit is detected during a cycle,
a 12 µA discharge current sink is enabled to pull the RES pin to ground. If a current limit is detected, the 12 µA
sink current is disabled and a 22µA current source causes the voltage at the RES pin to gradually increase. The
LM5035B protects the converter with cycle-by-cycle current limiting while the voltage at RES pin increases. If the
RES voltage reaches the 2.5V threshold, the following restart sequence occurs (also see Figure 14):
• The RES capacitor and SS capacitors are fully discharged
• The soft-start current source is reduced from 110 µA to 1 µA
• The SS capacitor voltage slowly increases. When the SS voltage reaches ≊1V, the PWM comparator will
produce the first narrow output pulse. After the first pulse occurs, the SS source current reverts to the normal
110 µA level. The SS voltage increases at its normal rate, gradually increasing the duty cycle of the output
drivers

If the overload condition persists after restart, cycle-by-cycle current limiting will begin to increase the voltage
on the RES capacitor again, repeating the hiccup mode sequence
If the overload condition no longer exists after restart, the RES pin will be held at ground by the 12 µA current
sink and normal operation resumes
The overload timer function is very versatile and can be configured for the following modes of protection:
1. Cycle-by-cycle only: The hiccup mode can be completely disabled by connecting a zero to 50 kΩ resistor
from the RES pin to AGND. In this configuration, the cycle-by-cycle protection will limit the output current
indefinitely and no hiccup sequences will occur.
2. Hiccup only: The timer can be configured for immediate activation of a hiccup sequence upon detection of
an overload by leaving the RES pin open circuit.
3. Delayed Hiccup: Connecting a capacitor to the RES pin provides a programmed interval of cycle-by-cycle
limiting before initiating a hiccup mode restart, as previously described. The dual advantages of this
configuration are that a short term overload will not cause a hiccup mode restart but during extended
overload conditions, the average dissipation of the power converter will be very low.
4. Externally Controlled Hiccup: The RES pin can also be used as an input. By externally driving the pin to a
level greater than the 2.5V hiccup threshold, the controller will be forced into the delayed restart sequence.
For example, the external trigger for a delayed restart sequence could come from an over-temperature
protection circuit or an output over-voltage sensor.

Soft-Start
The soft-start circuit allows the regulator to gradually reach a steady state operating point, thereby reducing startup stresses and current surges. When bias is supplied to the LM5035B, the SS pin capacitor is discharged by an
internal MOSFET. When the UVLO, VCC and REF pins reach their operating thresholds, the SS capacitor is
released and charged with a 110 µA current source. The PWM comparator control voltage is clamped to the SS
pin voltage by an internal amplifier. When the PWM comparator input reaches 1V, output pulses commence with
slowly increasing duty cycle. The voltage at the SS pin eventually increases to 5V, while the voltage at the PWM
comparator increases to the value required for regulation as determined by the voltage feedback loop.
One method to shutdown the regulator is to ground the SS pin. This forces the internal PWM control signal to
ground, reducing the output duty cycle quickly to zero. Releasing the SS pin begins a soft-start cycle and normal
operation resumes. A second shutdown method is discussed in the ULVO section.

Soft-Stop
If the UVLO pin voltage falls below the 1.25V standby threshold but above the 0.4V shutdown threshold, the 110
µA SS pin source current is disabled and a 110 µA sink current discharges the soft-start capacitor. As SS voltage
falls and clamps the PWM comparator input, the PWM duty cycle will gradually fall to zero. The soft-stop feature
produces a gradual reduction of the power converter output voltage. This soft-stop method of turning off the
converter reduces energy in the output capacitor before control of the main and synchronous rectification
MOSFETs is disabled. The PWM pulses may cease before the SS voltage reduces the duty cycle if the VCC or
REF voltage drops below the respective under-voltage thresholds during the soft-stop process.
PWM Comparator
The pulse width modulation (PWM) comparator compares the voltage ramp signal at the RAMP pin to the loop
error signal. This comparator is optimized for speed in order to achieve minimum controllable duty cycles. The
loop error signal is received from the external feedback and isolation circuit is in the form of a control current into
the COMP pin. The COMP pin current is internally mirrored by a matched pair of NPN transistors which sink
current through a 5 kΩ resistor connected to the 5V reference. The resulting control voltage passes through a 1V
level shift before being applied to the PWM comparator.
An opto-coupler detector can be connected between the REF pin and the COMP pin. Because the COMP pin is
controlled by a current input, the potential difference across the optocoupler detector is nearly constant. The
bandwidth limiting phase delay which is normally introduced by the significant capacitance of the opto-coupler is
thereby greatly reduced. Higher loop bandwidths can be realized since the bandwidth-limiting pole associated
with the opto-coupler is now at a much higher frequency. The PWM comparator polarity is configured such that
with no current into the COMP pin, the controller produces the maximum duty cycle at the main gate driver
outputs, HO and LO.
Feed-Forward Ramp and Volt • Second Clamp
An external resistor (RFF) and capacitor (CFF) connected to VIN, AGND, and the RAMP pin are required to create
the PWM ramp signal. The slope of the signal at RAMP will vary in proportion to the input line voltage. This
varying slope provides line feed-forward information necessary to improve line transient response with voltage
mode control. The RAMP signal is compared to the error signal by the pulse width modulator comparator to
control the duty cycle of the HO and LO outputs. With a constant error signal, the on-time (TON) varies inversely
with the input voltage (VIN) to stabilize the Volt • Second product of the transformer primary signal. The power
path gain of conventional voltage-mode pulse width modulators (oscillator generated ramp) varies directly with
input voltage. The use of a line generated ramp (input voltage feed-forward) nearly eliminates this gain variation.
As a result, the feedback loop is only required to make very small corrections for large changes in input voltage.
In addition to the PWM comparator, a Volt • Second Clamp comparator also monitors the RAMP pin. If the ramp
amplitude exceeds the 2.5V threshold of the Volt • Second Clamp comparator, the on-time is terminated. The CFF
ramp capacitor is discharged by an internal 32Ω discharge MOSFET controlled by the V•S Clamp comparator. If
the RAMP signal does not exceed 2.5V before the end of the clock period, then the internal clock will enable the
discharge MOSFET to reset capacitor CFF.
By proper selection of RFF and CFF values, the maximum on-time of HO and LO can be set to the desired
duration. The on-time set by the Volt • Second Clamp varies inversely to the line voltage because the RAMP
capacitor is charged by a resistor (RFF) connected to VIN while the threshold of the clamp is a fixed voltage
(2.5V). An example will illustrate the use of the Volt • Second Clamp comparator to achieve a 50% duty cycle
limit at 200kHz with a 48V line input. A 50% duty cycle at a 200kHz requires a 2.5µs on-time. To achieve this
maximum on-time clamp level:

paired with an 110 kΩ to approximate the desired 51.4µs time constant. If load transient response is slowed by
the 10% margin, the RFF value can be increased. The system signal-to-noise will be slightly decreased by
increasing RFF x CFF.

Oscillator, Sync Capability
The LM5035B oscillator frequency is set by a single external resistor connected between the RT and AGND pins.
To set a desired oscillator frequency, the necessary RT resistor is calculated from:
§ 1
¨
© FOSC
§
¨
©
RT =
- 110 ns x 6.25 x 109
(2)
For example, if the desired oscillator frequency is 400kHz (HO and LO each switching at 200 kHz) a 15 kΩ
resistor would be the nearest standard one percent value.
Each output (HO, LO, SR1 and SR2) switches at half the oscillator frequency. The voltage at the RT pin is
internally regulated to a nominal 2V. The RT resistor should be located as close as possible to the IC, and
connected directly to the pins (RT and AGND). The tolerance of the external resistor, and the frequency
tolerance indicated in the Electrical Characteristics, must be taken into account when determining the worst case
frequency range.
The LM5035B can be synchronized to an external clock by applying a narrow pulse to the RT pin. The external
clock must be at least 10% higher than the free-running oscillator frequency set by the RT resistor. If the external
clock frequency is less than the RT resistor programmed frequency, the LM5035B will ignore the synchronizing
pulses. The synchronization pulse width at the RT pin must be a minimum of 15 ns wide. The clock signal should
be coupled into the RT pin through a 100 pF capacitor or a value small enough to ensure the pulse width at RT
is less than 60% of the clock period under all conditions. When the synchronizing pulse transitions low-to-high
(rising edge), the voltage at the RT pin must be driven to exceed 3.2V volts from its nominal 2 VDC level. During
the clock signal’s low time, the voltage at the RT pin will be clamped at 2 VDC by an internal regulator. The
output impedance of the RT regulator is approximately 100Ω. The RT resistor is always required, whether the
oscillator is free running or externally synchronized.
Gate Driver Outputs (HO & LO)
The LM5035B provides two alternating gate driver outputs, the floating high side gate driver HO and the ground
referenced low side driver LO. Each driver is capable of sourcing 1.25A and sinking 2A peak. The HO and LO
outputs operate in an alternating manner, at one-half the internal oscillator frequency. The LO driver is powered
directly by the VCC regulator. The HO gate driver is powered from a bootstrap capacitor connected between HB
and HS. An external diode connected between VCC (anode pin) and HB (cathode pin) provides the high side
gate driver power by charging the bootstrap capacitor from VCC when the switch node (HS pin) is low. When the
high side MOSFET is turned on, HB rises to a peak voltage equal to VVCC + VHS where VHS is the switch node
voltage.
The HB and VCC capacitors should be placed close to the pins of the LM5035B to minimize voltage transients
due to parasitic inductances since the peak current sourced to the MOSFET gates can exceed 1.25A. The
recommended value of the HB capacitor is 0.01 µF or greater. A low ESR / ESL capacitor, such as a surface
mount ceramic, should be used to prevent voltage droop during the HO transitions.
The maximum duty cycle for each output is equal to or slightly less than 50% due to any programmed sync
rectifier delay. The programmed sync rectifier delay is determined by the DLY pin resistor. If the COMP pin is
open circuit, the outputs will operate at maximum duty cycle. The maximum duty cycle for each output can be
calculated with the following equation:

For example, if the oscillator frequency is 200 kHz, each output will cycle at 100 kHz (TS = 10 µs). Using no
programmed delay, the maximum duty cycle at this frequency is calculated to be 50%. Using a programmed sync
rectifier delay of 100 ns, the maximum duty cycle is reduced to 49%. Because there is no fixed dead-time in the
LM5035B, it is recommended that the delay pin resistor not be less than 10K. Internal delays, which are not
ensured, are the only protection against cross conduction if the programmed delay is zero, or very small.

Figure 17. HO, LO, SR1 and SR2 Timing Diagram
Synchronous Rectifier Control Outputs (SR1 & SR2)
Synchronous rectification (SR) of the transformer secondary provides higher efficiency, especially for low output
voltage converters. The reduction of rectifier forward voltage drop (0.5V - 1.5V) to 10mV - 200mV VDS voltage for
a MOSFET significantly reduces rectification losses. In a typical application, the transformer secondary winding is
center tapped, with the output power inductor in series with the center tap. The SR MOSFETs provide the ground
path for the energized secondary winding and the inductor current. Figure 17 shows that the SR2 MOSFET is
conducting while HO enables power transfer from the primary. The SR1 MOSFET must be disabled during this
period since the secondary winding connected to the SR1 MOSFET drain is twice the voltage of the center tap.
At the conclusion of the HO pulse, the inductor current continues to flow through the SR1 MOSFET body diode.
Since the body diode causes more loss than the SR MOSFET, efficiency can be improved by minimizing the T2
period while maintaining sufficient timing margin over all conditions (component tolerances, etc.) to prevent
shoot-through current. When LO enables power transfer from the primary, the SR1 MOSFET is enabled and the
SR2 MOSFET is off.
During the time that neither HO nor LO is active, the inductor current is shared between both the SR1 and SR2
MOSFETs which effectively shorts the transformer secondary and cancels the inductance in the windings. The
SR2 MOSFET is disabled before LO delivers power to the secondary to prevent power being shunted to ground.
The SR2 MOSFET body diode continues to carry about half the inductor current until the primary power raises
the SR2 MOSFET drain voltage and reverse biases the body diode. Ideally, dead-time T1 would be set to the
minimum time that allows the SR MOSFET to turn off before the SR MOSFET body diode starts conducting.
The SR1 and SR2 outputs are powered directly by the VCC regulator. Each output is capable of sourcing and
sinking 0.5A peak. Typically, the SR1 and SR2 signals control SR MOSFET gate drivers through a pulse
transformer. The actual gate sourcing and sinking currents are provided by the secondary-side bias supply and
gate drivers.
The timing of SR1 and SR2 with respect to HO and LO is shown in Figure 17. SR1 is configured out of phase
with HO and SR2 is configured out of phase with LO. The deadtime between transitions is programmable by a
resistor connected from the DLY pin to the AGND pin. Typically, RDLY is set in the range of 10kΩ to 100kΩ. The
deadtime periods can be calculated using the following formulae:
T1 = .003 x RDLY + 4.6 ns
T2 = .0007 x RDLY + 10.01 ns
(4)
(5)
When UVLO falls below 1.25V, or during hiccup current limit, both SR1 and SR2 are held low. During normal
operation, if soft-start is held low, both SR1 and SR2 will be high.

Thermal Protection
Internal Thermal Shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event the maximum rated
junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 165°C, the controller is forced into a low power
standby state with the output drivers (HO, LO, SR1 and SR2), the bias regulators (VCC and REF) disabled. This
helps to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating. During thermal shutdown, the soft-start
capacitor is fully discharged and the controller follows a normal start-up sequence after the junction temperature
falls to the operating level (145°C).
Applications Information
The following information is intended to provide guidelines for the power supply designer using the LM5035B.
VIN
The voltage applied to the VIN pin, which may be the same as the system voltage applied to the power
transformer’s primary (VPWR), can vary in the range of 13 to 105V. The current into VIN depends primarily on the
gate charge provided to the output drivers, the switching frequency, and any external loads on the VCC and REF
pins. It is recommended the filter shown in Figure 18 be used to suppress transients which may occur at the
input supply. This is particularly important when VIN is operated close to the maximum operating rating of the
LM5035B.
When power is applied to VIN and the UVLO pin voltage is greater than 0.4V, the VCC regulator is enabled and
supplies current into an external capacitor connected to the VCC pin. When the voltage on the VCC pin reaches
the regulation point of 7.6V, the voltage reference (REF) is enabled. The reference regulation set point is 5V. The
HO, LO, SR1 and SR2 outputs are enabled when the two bias regulators reach their set point and the UVLO pin
potential is greater than 1.25V. In typical applications, an auxiliary transformer winding is connected through a
diode to the VCC pin. This winding must raise the VCC voltage above 8.3V to shut off the internal start-up
regulator.
After the outputs are enabled and the external VCC supply voltage has begun supplying power to the IC, the
current into VIN drops below 1 mA. VIN should remain at a voltage equal to or above the VCC voltage to avoid
reverse current through protection diodes.

FOR APPLICATIONS >100V
For applications where the system input voltage exceeds 100V or the IC power dissipation is of concern, the
LM5035B can be powered from an external start-up regulator as shown in Figure 19. In this configuration, the
VIN and the VCC pins should be connected together, which allows the LM5035B to be operated below 13V. The
voltage at the VCC pin must be greater than 8.3V yet not exceed 15V. An auxiliary winding can be used to
reduce the power dissipation in the external regulator once the power converter is active. The NPN base-emitter
reverse breakdown voltage, which can be as low as 5V for some transistors, should be considered when
selecting the transistor.

CURRENT SENSE
The CS pin needs to receive an input signal representative of the transformer’s primary current, either from a
current sense transformer or from a resistor in series with the source of the LO switch, as shown in Figure 20
and Figure 21. In both cases, the sensed current creates a ramping voltage across R1, and the RF/CF filter
suppresses noise and transients. R1, RF and CF should be located as close to the LM5035B as possible, and the
ground connection from the current sense transformer, or R1, should be a dedicated track to the AGND pin. The
current sense components must provide greater than 0.25V at the CS pin when an over-current condition exists.

If the current sense resistor method is used, the over-current condition will only be sensed while LO is driving the
low-side MOSFET. Over-current while HO is driving the high-side MOSFET will not be detected. In this
configuration, it will take 4 times as long for continuous cycle-by-cycle current limiting to initiate a restart event
since each over-current event during LO enables the 22µA RES pin current source for one oscillator period, and
then the lack of an over-current event during HO enables the 12µA RES pin current sink for one oscillator period.
The time average of this toggling is equivalent to a continuous 5 µA current source into the RES capacitor,
increasing the delay by a factor of four. The value of the RES capacitor can be reduced to decrease the time
before restart cycle is initiated.
When using the resistor current sense method, an imbalance in the input capacitor voltages may develop when
operating in cycle-by-cycle current limiting mode. If the imbalance persists for an extended period, excessive
currents in the non-sensed MOSFET, and possible transformer saturation may result. This condition is inherent
to the half-bridge topology operated with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and is compounded by only sensing in
one leg of the half-bridge circuit. The imbalance is greatest at large duty cycles (low input voltages). If using this
method, it is recommended that the capacitor on the RES pin be no larger than 220 pF. Check the final circuit
and reduce the RES capacitor further, or omit the capacitor completely to ensure the voltages across the bridge
capacitors remain balanced. The current limit value may decrease slightly as the RES capacitor is reduced.
HO, HB, HS and LO
Attention must be given to the PC board layout for the low-side driver and the floating high-side driver pins HO,
HB and HS. A low ESR/ESL capacitor (such as a ceramic surface mount capacitor) should be connected close
to the LM5035B, between HB and HS to provide high peak currents during turn-on of the high-side MOSFET.
The capacitor should be large enough to supply the MOSFET gate charge (Qg) without discharging to the point
where the drop in gate voltage affects the MOSFET RDS(ON). A value ten to twenty times Qg is recommended.
CBOOST = 20 x
Qg
VCC
(6)
The diode (DBOOST) that charges CBOOST from VCC when the low-side MOSFET is conducting should be capable
of withstanding the full converter input voltage range. When the high-side MOSFET is conducting, the reverse
voltage at the diode is approximately the same as the MOSFET drain voltage because the high-side driver is
boosted up to the converter input voltage by the HS pin, and the high side MOSFET gate is driven to the HS
voltage plus VCC. Since the anode of DBOOST is connected to VCC, the reverse potential across the diode is
equal to the input voltage minus the VCC voltage. DBOOST average current is less than 20mA in most
applications, so a low current ultra-fast recovery diode is recommended to limit the loss due to diode junction
capacitance. Schottky diodes are also a viable option, particularly for lower input voltage applications, but
attention must be paid to leakage currents at high temperatures.

SNVS613C – JULY 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2013
The internal gate drivers need a very low impedance path to the respective decoupling capacitors; the VCC cap
for the LO driver and CBOOST for the HO driver. These connections should be as short as possible to reduce
inductance and as wide as possible to reduce resistance. The loop area, defined by the gate connection and its
respective return path, should be minimized.
The high-side gate driver can also be used with HS connected to PGND for applications other than a half bridge
converter (e.g. Push-Pull). The HB pin is then connected to VCC, or any supply greater than the high-side driver
undervoltage lockout (approximately 6.5V). In addition, the high-side driver can be configured for high voltage
offline applications where the high-side MOSFET gate is driven via a gate drive transformer.
PROGRAMMABLE DELAY (DLY)
The RDLY resistor programs the delays between the SR1 and SR2 signals and the HO and LO driver outputs.
Figure 17 shows the relationship between these outputs. The DLY pin is nominally set at 2.5V and the current is
sensed through RDLY to ground. This current is used to adjust the amount of deadtime before the HO and LO
pulse (T1) and after the HO and LO pulse (T2). Typically RDLY is in the range of 10kΩ to 100kΩ. The deadtime
periods can be calculated using the following formulae:
T1 = .003 x RDLY + 4.6 ns
T2 = .0007 x RDLY + 10.01 ns
(7)
(8)
This may cause lower than optimal system efficiency if the delays through the SR signal transformer network, the
secondary gate drivers and the SR MOSFETs are greater than the delay to turn on the HO or LO MOSFETs.
Should an SR MOSFET remain on while the opposing primary MOSFET is supplying power through the power
transformer, the secondary winding will experience a momentary short circuit, causing a significant power loss to
occur.
When choosing the RDLY value, worst case propagation delays and component tolerances should be considered
to assure that there is never a time where both SR MOSFETs are enabled AND one of the primary side
MOSFETs is enabled. The time period T1 should be set so that the SR MOSFET has turned off before the
primary MOSFET is enabled. Conversely, T1 and T2 should be kept as low as tolerances allow to optimize
efficiency. The SR body diode conducts during the time between the SR MOSFET turns off and the power
transformer begins supplying energy. Power losses increase when this happens since the body diode voltage
drop is many times higher than the MOSFET channel voltage drop. The interval of body diode conduction can be
observed with an oscilloscope as a negative 0.7V to 1.5V pulse at the SR MOSFET drain.
UVLO AND OVP VOLTAGE DIVIDER SELECTION FOR R1, R2, AND R3
Two dedicated comparators connected to the UVLO and OVP pins are used to detect under-voltage and overvoltage conditions. The threshold value of these comparators, VUVLO and VOVP, is 1.25V (typical). The two
functions can be programmed independently with two voltage dividers from VIN to AGND as shown in Figure 22
and Figure 23, or with a three-resistor divider as shown in Figure 24. Independent UVLO and OVP pins provide
greater flexibility for the user to select the operational voltage range of the system. Hysteresis is accomplished by
23 µA current sources (IUVLO and IOVP), which are switched on or off into the sense pin resistor dividers as the
comparators change state.
When the UVLO pin voltage is below 0.4V, the controller is in a low current shutdown mode. For a UVLO pin
voltage greater than 0.4V but less than 1.25V the controller is in standby mode. Once the UVLO pin voltage is
greater than 1.25V, the controller is fully enabled. Two external resistors can be used to program the minimum
operational voltage for the power converter as shown in Figure 22. When the UVLO pin voltage falls below the
1.25V threshold, an internal 23 µA current sink is enabled to lower the voltage at the UVLO pin, thus providing
threshold hysteresis. Resistance values for R1 and R2 can be determined from the following equations.

For example, if the LM5035B is to be enabled when VPWR reaches 34V, and disabled when VPWR is decreased
to 32V, R1 should be 87 kΩ, and R2 should be 3.54kΩ. The voltage at the UVLO pin should not exceed 7V at

The impedance seen looking into the resistor divider from the UVLO and OVP pins determines the hysteresis

OVPon = OVPoff - [23 µA x (R1 + R2)]
The typical operating ranges of undervoltage and overvoltage thresholds are calculated from the above
equations. For example, for resistor values R1 = 86.6kΩ, R2 = 2.10kΩ and R3 = 1.40kΩ the computed
thresholds are:
UVLO turn-off = 32.2V
UVLO turn-on = 34.2V
OVP turn-on = 78.4V
OVP turn-off = 80.5V
To maintain the threshold’s accuracy, a resistor tolerance of 1% or better is recommended.
The design process starts with the choice of the voltage difference between the UVLO enabling and disabling
thresholds. This will also approximately set the difference between OVP enabling and disabling regulation:
UVLOon - UVLOoff
R1 =
23 PA
(11)
Next, the combined resistance of R2 and R3 is calculated by choosing the threshold for the UVLO disabling
threshold:

FAULT PROTECTION
The Over Voltage Protection (OVP) comparator of the LM5035B can be configured for line or load fault protection
or thermal protection using an external temperature sensor or thermistor. Figure 23 shows a line over voltage
shutdown application using a voltage divider between the input power supply, VPWR, and AGND to monitor the
line voltage.
Figure 26 demonstrates the use of the OVP pin for latched output over-voltage fault protection, using a zener
and opto-coupler. When VOUT exceeds the conduction threshold of the opto-coupler diode and zener, the optocoupler momentarily turns on Q1 and the LM5035B enters standby mode, disabling the drivers and enabling the
hysteresis current source on the OVP pin. Once the current source is enabled, the OVP voltage will remain at
2.3V (23 µA x 100 kΩ) without additional drive from the external circuit. If the opto-coupler transistor emitter were
directly connected to the OVP pin, then leakage current in the zener diode amplified by the opto-coupler’s gain
could falsely trip the protection latch. R1 and Q1 are added reduce the sensitivity to low level currents in the
opto-coupler. Using the values of Figure 26, the opto-coupler collector current must equal VBE(Q1) / R1 = 350 µA
before OVP latches. Once the controller has switched to standby mode, the outputs no longer switch but the
VCC and REF regulators continue functioning and supply bias to the external circuitry. VCC must fall below 6.2V
or the UVLO pin must fall below 0.4V to clear the OVP latch.

Figure 27 shows an application of the OVP comparator for Remote Thermal Protection using a thermistor (or
multiple thermistors) which may be located near the main heat sources of the power supply. The negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor is nearly logarithmic, and in this example a 100kΩ thermistor with the β
material constant of 4500 kelvins changes to approximately 2 kΩ at 130°C. Setting R1 to one-third of this
resistance (665Ω) establishes 130°C as the desired trip point (for VREF = 5V). In a temperature band from 20°C
below to 20°C above the OVP threshold, the voltage divider is nearly linear with 25 mV per°C sensitivity.
R2 provides temperature hysteresis by raising the OVP comparator input by R2 x 23 µA. For example, if a 22kΩ
resistor is selected for R2, then the OVP pin voltage will increase by 22 kΩ x 23 µA = 506 mV. The NTC
temperature must therefore fall by 506mV / 25mV per°C = 20°C before the LM5035B switches from the standby
mode to the normal mode.

HICCUP MODE CURRENT LIMIT RESTART (RES)
The basic operation of the hiccup mode current limit restart is described in the functional description. The delay
time to restart is programmed with the selection of the RES pin capacitor CRES as illustrated in Figure 27.
In the case of continuous cycle-by-cycle current limit detection at the CS pin, the time required for CRES to reach
the 2.5V hiccup mode threshold is:
t1 =
CRES x 2.5V

= 114 k: x CRES

For example, if CRES = 0.01 µF the time t1 is approximately 1.14 ms.
The cool down time, t2 is set by the soft-start capacitor (CSS) and the internal 1 µA SS current source, and is
equal to:
t2 =
CSS x 1V
1 PA
= 1 M: x CSS
(16)
If CSS = 0.01 µF t2 is ≊10 ms.
The soft-start time t3 is set by the internal 110 µA current source, and is equal to:
t3 =
CSS x 4V
= 40 k: x CSS
110 PA
(17)
If CSS = 0.01 µF t3 is ≊363 µs.
The time t2 provides a periodic cool-down time for the power converter in the event of a sustained overload or
short circuit. This off time results in lower average input current and lower power dissipation within the power
components. It is recommended that the ratio of t2 / (t1 + t3) be in the range of 5 to 10 to take advantage of this
feature.
If the application requires no delay from the first detection of a current limit condition to the onset of the hiccup
mode (t1 = 0), the RES pin can be left open (no external capacitor). If it is desired to disable the hiccup mode
entirely, the RES pin should be connected to ground (AGND).

Figure 28. Hiccup Over-Load Restart Timing
Printed Circuit Board Layout
The LM5035B Current Sense and PWM comparators are very fast, and respond to short duration noise pulses.
The components at the CS, COMP, SS, OVP, UVLO, DLY and the RT pins should be as physically close as
possible to the IC, thereby minimizing noise pickup on the PC board tracks.
Layout considerations are critical for the current sense filter. If a current sense transformer is used, both leads of
the transformer secondary should be routed to the sense filter components and to the IC pins. The ground side
of the transformer should be connected via a dedicated PC board track to the AGND pin, rather than through the
ground plane.
If the current sense circuit employs a sense resistor in the drive transistor source, low inductance resistors
should be used. In this case, all the noise sensitive, low-current ground tracks should be connected in common
near the IC, and then a single connection made to the power ground (sense resistor ground point).
The gate drive outputs of the LM5035B should have short, direct paths to the power MOSFETs in order to
minimize inductance in the PC board traces. The SR control outputs should also have minimum routing distance
through the pulse transformers and through the secondary gate drivers to the sync FETs.

The two ground pins (AGND, PGND) must be connected together with a short, direct connection, to avoid jitter
due to relative ground bounce.
If the internal dissipation of the LM5035B produces high junction temperatures during normal operation, the use
of multiple vias under the IC to a ground plane can help conduct heat away from the IC. Judicious positioning of
the PC board within the end product, along with use of any available air flow (forced or natural convection) will
help reduce the junction temperatures. If using forced air cooling, avoid placing the LM5035B in the airflow
shadow of tall components, such as input capacitors.
Application Circuit Example
The following schematic shows an example of a 100W half-bridge power converter controlled by the LM5035B.
The operating input voltage range (VPWR) is 36V to 75V, and the output voltage is 3.3V. The output current
capability is 30 Amps. Current sense transformer T2 provides information to the CS pin for current limit
protection. The error amplifier and reference, U3 and U5 respectively, provide voltage feedback via opto-coupler
U4. Synchronous rectifiers Q4, Q5, Q6 and Q7 minimize rectification losses in the secondary. An auxiliary
winding on transformer T1 provides power to the LM5035B VCC pin when the output is in regulation. The input
voltage UVLO thresholds are ≊34V for increasing VPWR, and ≊32V for decreasing VPWR. The circuit can be shut
down by driving the ON/OFF input (J2) below 1.25V with an open-collector or open-drain circuit. An external
synchronizing frequency can be applied through a 100pF capacitor to the RT input (U1 pin 5). The regulator
output is current limited at ≊34A.
