The circuitry is fully active at supply voltages above +8V, and provides up to 20mA of load current to external circuitry at +5.0V. In systems where additional current is required, an external PNP transistor can be used to boost the available current. A rugged low frequency audio-type transistor should be used, and lead lengths between the PWM and transistor should be as short as possible to minimize the risk of oscillations. Even so, some types of transistors may require collector-base capacitance for stability. Up to 1 amp of load current can be obtained with excellent regulation if the device selected maintains high current gain. Figure 2. Under-Voltage Lockout Schematic Soft-Start Circuit The soft-start circuit protects the power transistors and rectifier diodes from high current surges during power supply turn-on. When supply voltage is first applied to the _______ UC1526, the under-voltage lockout circuit holds RESET LOW with Q3. Q1 is turned on, which holds the soft-start capacitor voltage at zero. The second collector of Q1 clamps the output of the error amplifier to ground, guaranteeing zero duty cycle at the driver outputs. When the _______ supply voltage reaches normal operating range, RESET will go HIGH. Q1 turns off, allowing the internal 100mA current source to charge CS. Q2 clamps the error amplifier output to 1VBE above the voltage on CS. As the softstart voltage ramps up to +5V, the duty cycle of the PWM linearly increases to whatever value the voltage regulation loop requires for an error null. Figure 1. Extending Reference Output Current Under-Voltage Lockout The under-voltage lockout circuit protects the UC1526 and the power devices it controls from inadequate supply voltage, If +VIN is too low, the circuit disables the output _______ drivers and holds the RESET pin LOW. This prevents spurious output pulses while the control circuitry is stabilizing, and holds the soft-start timing capacitor in a discharged state. The circuit consists of a +1.2V bandgap reference and comparator circuit which is active when the reference voltage has risen to 3VBE or +1.8V at 25°C. When the reference voltage rises to approximately +4.4V, the circuit _______ enables the output drivers and releases the RESET pin, allowing a normal soft-start. The comparator has 200mV of hysteresis to minimize oscillation at the trip point. When +VIN to the PWM is removed and the reference _______ drops to +4.2V, the under-voltage circuit pulls RESET LOW again. The soft-start capacitor is immediately discharged, and the PWM is ready for another soft-start cycle. Figure 3. Soft-Start Circuit Schematic Digital Control Ports The three digital control ports of the UC1526 are bi-directional. Each pin can drive TTL and 5V CMOS logic directly, up to a fan-out of 10 low-power Schottky gates. Each pin can also be directly driven by open-collector The UC1526 can operate from a +5V supply by connecting the VREF pin to the +VIN pin and maintaining the supply between +4.8 and +5.2V. 4 UC1526 UC2526 UC3526 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION (cont.) TTL, open-drain CMOS, and open-collector voltage comparators; fan-in is equivalent to 1 low-power Schottky gate. Each port is normally HIGH; the pin_____ is pulled LOW _ to activate the particular function. Driving SYNC LOW initiates a discharge cycle in the oscillator. Pulling ____________ SHUTDOWN LOW immediately inhibits all PWM output _______ pulses. Holding RESET LOW discharges the soft-start capacitor. The logic threshold is +1.1V at +25°C. Noise immunity can be gained at the expense of fan-out with an external 2k pull-up resistor to +5V. Multiple devices can be synchronized together by programming one master unit for the desired frequency and then sharing its sawtooth and clock waveforms with the slave units. All CT terminals ______ are connected to the CT pin of the master, _____ and _all SYNC terminals are likewise connected to the SYNC pin of the master. Slave RT terminals are left open or connected to VREF. Slave RD terminals may be either left open or grounded. Error Amplifier The error amplifier is a transconductance design, with an output impedance of 2MΩ . Since all voltage gain takes place at the output pin, the open-loop gain/frequency characteristics can be controlled with shunt reactance to ground. When compensated for unity-gain stability with 100pF, the amplifier has an open-loop pole at 800Hz. The input connections to the error amplifier are determined by the polarity of the switching supply output voltage. For positive supplies, the common-mode voltage is +5.0V and the feedback connections in Figure 6A are used. With negative supplies, the common-mode voltage is ground and the feedback divider is connected between the negative output and the +5.0V reference voltage, as shown in Figure 6B. Figure 4. Digital Control Port Schematic Oscillator The oscillator is programmed for frequency and dead time with three components: RT, CT and RD. Two waveforms are generated: a sawtooth waveform at pin 10 for pulse width modulation, and a logic clock at pin 12. The following procedure is recommended for choosing timing values: Output Drivers The totem-pole output drivers of the UC1526 are designed to source and sink 100mA continuously and 200mA peak. Loads can be driven either from the output pins 13 and 16, or from the +VC, as required. Since the bottom transistor of the totem-pole is allowed to saturate, there is a momentary conduction path from the +VC terminal to ground during switching. To limit the resulting current spikes a small resistor in series with pin 14 is always recommended. The resistor value is determined by the driver supply voltage, and should be chosen for 200mA peak currents. 1. With RD = 0 (pin 11 shorted to ground) select values for RT and CT from Figure 7 to give the desired oscillator period. Remember that the frequency at each driver output is half the oscillator frequency, and the frequency at the +VC terminal is the same as the oscillator frequency. 2. If more dead time is required, select a large value of RD. At 40kHz dead time increases by 400ns/Ω . 3. Increasing the dead time will cause the oscillator frequency to decrease slightly. Go back and decrease the value of RT slightly to bring the frequency back to the nominal design value. The UC1526 can be synchronized to an external logic clock by programming the oscillator to free-run at a frequency 10% slower than the sync frequency. A periodic ______ LOW logic pulse approximately 0.5µs wide at the SYNC pin will then lock the oscillator to the external frequency. Figure 5.
