DESCRIPTION
The UC1525B/1527B series of pulse width modulator integrated circuits are
designed to offer improved performance and lowered external parts count when
used in designing all types of switching power supplies. The on-chip +5.1V
buried zener reference is trimmed to ±0.75% and the input common-mode range
of the error amplifier includes the reference voltage, eliminating external resistors. A sync input to the oscillator allows multiple units to be slaved or a single
unit to be synchronized to an external system clock. A single resistor between
the CT and the discharge terminals provide a wide range of dead time adjustment.These devices also feature built-in soft-start circuitry with only an external
timing capacitor required.A shutdown terminal controls both the soft-start circuitry and the output stages, providing instantaneous turn off through the PWM
latch with pulsed shutdown, as well as soft-start recycle with longer shutdown
commands. These functions are also controlled by an undervoltage lockout
which keeps the outputs off and the soft-start capacitor discharged for sub-normal input voltages. This lockout circuitry includes approximately 500mV of hysteresis for jitter-free operation.Another feature of these PWM circuits is a latch
following the comparator.Once a PWM pulse has been terminated for any reason, the outputs will remain off for the duration of the period.The latch is reset
with each clock pulse.The output stages are totem-pole designs capable of
sourcing or sinking in excess of 200mA.The UC1525B output stage features
NOR logic, giving a LOW output for an OFF state. The UC1527B utilizes OR
logic which results in a HIGH output level when OFF.
