AC-DC Current Mode PWM Controller
LM5021 AC-DC Current Mode PWM Controller
June 2005
General Description
The LM5021 off-line pulse width modulation (PWM) controller contains all of the features needed to implement highly
efficient off-linesingle-ended flybackand forward powerconverters using current-mode control. The LM5021 features
include an ultra-low (25 µA) start-up current, which minimizes power losses in the high voltage start-up network. A
skip cycle mode reduces powerconsumption with light loads
for energy conserving applications (ENERGY STAR
CECP, etc.). Additional features include under-voltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup mode overload protection, slope compensation, soft-start and oscillator synchronization capability. This high performance 8-pin IC has
total propagation delays less than 100nS and a 1MHz capable oscillator that is programmed with a single resistor.

Pin Description
PIN NAME DESCRIPTION APPLICATION INFORMATION
1 COMP Control input for the Pulse Width Modulator
and Hiccup comparators.
2 VIN Input voltage. Input to start-up regulator. The VIN pin is clamped at
3 VCC Output of a linear bias supply regulator.
Nominally 8.5V.
4 OUT MOSFET gate driver output. High current output to the external MOSFET gate input
5 GND Ground return.
6 CS Current Sense input. Current sense input for current mode control and
7 RT / SYNC Oscillator timing resistor pin and
synchronization input.
8 SS Soft-start / Hiccup time An external capacitor and an internal 22 µA current
COMP pull-up is provided by an internal 5K resistor
which may be used to bias an opto-coupler transistor.
36V by an internal zener diode.
VCC provides bias to controller and gate drive sections
of the LM5021. An external capacitor must be connected
from this pin to ground.
with source/sink current capability of 0.3A and 0.7A
respectively.
over-current protection. Current limiting is accomplished
using a dedicated current sense comparator. If the CS
comparator input exceeds 0.5 Volts the OUT pin
switches low for cycle-by-cycle current limit. CS is held
low for 90ns after OUT switches high to blank the
leading edge current spike.
An external resistor connected from RT to GND sets the
oscillator frequency. This pin will also accept
synchronization pulses from an external clock.
source set the soft-start ramp. The soft -start capacitor
controls both the soft-start rate and the hiccup mode
period.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratingsare limitsbeyond which damageto thedevice may occur. Operating Ratingsare conditions underwhich operationof the device
is intended to be functional. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin.
Note 3: Min and Max limits are 100% production tested at 25˚C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical
Quality Control (SQC) methods. Limits are used to calculate National’s Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 4: Device thermal limitations may limit usable range.
