SG1540/SG2540/SG3540
OFF-LINE START-UP CONTROLLER
DESCRIPTION
The SG1540 is an integrated circuit designed to efficiently provide
start-up power from a high-voltage DC bus to a PWM control circuit
in a switching power supply. When used on the primary side, it
reduces start-up current to less than 1mA and allows any standard
PWM control circuit to be used as a primary-side controller. When
used to power a controller on the secondary side, it efficiently
eliminates the need for a heavy 50/60Hz line transformer with its
associated low frequency magnetic fields.
The circuit consists of three sections: a micropower bandgap
comparator/power switch referenced to 2.5 volts which isolates the
start-up capacitor from its load; a high frequency square-wave
oscillator with 200mA totem-pole output for driving an isolation
transformer; and a second bandgap comparator with latching
crowbar to protect against overvoltage faults while starting or
running.
The SG1540 is specified for operation over the full military ambient
temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SG2540 is characterized for the industrial range of -25°C to 85°C, and the SG3540 is
designed for the commercial range of 0°C to 70°C.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
(Unless otherwise specified, these specifications apply over the operating ambient temperatures for SG1540 with -55°C ≤ TA ≤ 125°C, SG2540 with
-25°C ≤ TA ≤ 85°C, SG3540 with 0°C ≤ TA ≤ 70°C, and +VIN = 15V. A 0.1µF high frequency bypass capacitor is recommended on VIN. Low duty cycle
testing techniques are used which maintains junction and case temperatures equal to the ambient temperature.)
