Texas Instruments 5962-8995701VA, 5962-89957012A Datasheet

The UC1637 i s a p ul se width modulator circuit intended to be us ed for a variety of
PWM motor drive and amplifier applications requiring either uni-directional or bi­directional drive circuits. When used to replace conventional drivers, this circuit
can increase efficiency and reduce component costs for many applications. All
necessary circuitr y is included to generate an analog error signal and modulate
two bi-direc tional pulse train outpu ts in propor tion to the error signal magnitude
and polarity.

This monolithic device contains a sawtooth oscillator, error amplifier, and two
PWM compar ators with ±100mA output stages as standard features. Protection
circuitry includes under-voltage lockout, pulse-by-pulse current limiting, and a
shutdown port with a 2.5V temperature compensated threshold.

The UC1637 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range
of -55°C to +125°C, while the UC2637 and UC3637 are characterized for -25°C to
+85°C and 0°C to +70°C, respectively.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Following is a descr iption of each of the func tional blocks
shown in the Block Diagram.

Oscillator

The oscillator consists of two comparators, a charging
and discharg ing current source, a current source set ter ­minal, l

SET

and a flip- flop. The upper and lower threshold
of the oscilla tor waveform is set externally by applying a
voltage at pins +V

TH

and -VTH respectively. The +VTH ter-

minal voltage is buffered internally and also applied to the
l

SET

terminal to develop the capacitor charging current

through R

T

. If RT is referenced to -VS as shown in Figure
1, both the threshold voltage and charging current will
vary proportionally to the supply differential, and the oscil­lator frequency will remain constant. The triangle wave­form oscillators frequency and voltage amplitude is
determ ined by the external components using the formulas
given in Figure 1.

Unless otherwise stated, these specifications apply for TA = -55°C to +125°C for the
UC1637; -25°C to +85°C for the UC2637; and 0°C to +70°C for the UC3637: VS =
+15V, -VS = - 15V, +V

TH

= 5V, -VTH = -5V, RT = 16.7kΩ, CT = 1500pF, TA=T
