The SG1731 is a pulse width modulator circuit designed specifically for DC motor
control. It provides a bi-directional pulse train output in response to the magnitude
and polarity of an analog error signal input. The device is useful as the control
element in motor-driven servo systems for precision positioning and speed control,
as well as in audio modulators and amplifiers using carrier frequencies to 350 KHz.
The circuit contains a triangle waveform oscillator, a wideband operational amplifier
for error voltage generation, a summing/scaling network for level-shifting the
triangle waveform, externally programmable PWM comparators and dual ±100mA,±22V totem pole drivers with commutation diodes for full bridge output. A
SHUTDOWN terminal forces the drivers into a floating high-impedance state when
driven LOW. Supply voltage to the control circuitry and to the output drivers may be
from either dual positive and negative supplies, or single-ended.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SUPPLY VOLTAGE
The SG1731 requires a supply voltage for the control circuitry (V
and for the power output drivers (V
). Each supply may be either
O
balanced positive and negative with respect to ground, or singleended. The only restrictions are:
1.The voltage between +V
and -VS must be at least 7.0V; but
S
no more than 44V.
2.The voltage between +VO and -VO must be at least 5.0V; but
no more than 44V.
must be at least 5V more positive than -VS. This
3.+V
O
eliminates the combination of a single-ended positive control
supply with a single-ended negative driver supply.

ERROR AMPLIFIER
The triangle oscillator consists of two voltage comparators, a set/
reset flip-flop, a bi-directional 500µA current source, and an
external timing capacitor C
. A positive reference voltage (2V∆+)
T
applied to Pin 2 determines the positive peak value of the triangle,
and a negative reference voltage (2V∆-) at Pin 7 sets the negative
peak value of the triangle waveform.
Since the value of the internal current source is fixed at a nominal
±500µA, the oscillator period is a function of the selected peakto-peak voltage excursion and the value of C
. The theoretical

expression for the oscillator period is:

PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
Pulse width modulation occurs by comparing the triangle
waveform to a fixed upper (+V
) and lower (-VT) threshold

voltage. A crossing above the upper threshold causes
Output A to switch to the HIGH state, and a crossing below

If ±V
is less than ±8V then ±VT can be obtained with resistors from

. If ±VS is greater than ±8V use zeners.

S
Threshold crossings are generated by shifting the triangle
waveform up and down with the error voltage (Pin 5). A positive
error voltage will result in a pulse width modulated output at
Driver A (Pin 13). Similarly, a negative error voltage produces a
pulse train at Driver B (Pin 12). Figure 2 illustrates this process
for the case where V
∆+ is greater than V
It is important to note that the triangle shifting circuit also
attenuates the waveform seen at C
in a waveform at the PWM comparators with a positive peak of
V∆+ and a negative peak of V
when selecting the values for +V
∆-, and must be taken into account
and -VT.
