DESCRIPTION
The UC1637 i s a p ul se width modulator circuit intended to be used for a variety of
PWM motor drive and amplifier applications requiring either uni-directional or bidirectiona l 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.
Note 1: Currents are positive into, negative out of the specified terminal.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Following is a descr iption of each of the functional blocks
shown in the Block Diagram.
Oscillator
The oscillator consists of two comparators, a charging
and dischar ging current source, a current sourc e set terminal, l
of the oscilla tor waveform is set externally by applying a
voltage at pins +V
and a flip- flop. The upper and lower threshold
SET
and -VTH respectively. The +VTH ter-
TH
minal voltage is buffered internally and also applied to the
terminal to develop the capacitor charging current
l
SET
through R
. If RT is referenced to -VS as shown in Figure
T
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.

Oscillator Set up
PWM Comparators
Two comparators are provided to perform pulse width
modulation for each of the output drivers. Inputs are uncommitted to a llow m ax imum flexibility. The pulse width of
the outputs A and B is a function of the sign and amplitude of the er ror signa l. A negative signal at Pin 10 and 8
will lengthen the high state of output A and shorten the
high state of output B. Likewise, a positive error signal reverses the procedure. Typically, the oscillator waveform is
compared aga inst the summation of the error signal and
the level set on Pin 9 and 11.
MODULATION SCHEMES
Case A Zero Deadtime
In this con figu rati on, m axi mum ho ld ing t orq ue or stiffness
and position accuracy is achieved. However, the power input into the motor is increased. Figure 3A shows this configuration.
Case B Small Deadtime
A small diffe renti al v o ltage be twe en Pin 9 and 11 pr ov id es
the necessary time delay to reduce the chances of momentary short circuit in the output stage during transitio ns, especially where power-amplifiers are used. Refer to
Figure 3B.
Case C Increased Deadtime and Deadband Mode
(Voltage on Pin 9 > Pin 11)
With the reduction of stiffness and position accuracy, the
power input into the motor around the null point of the
servo loop c an be reduce d or eliminat ed by widening the
window of the comparator circuit to a degree of acceptance. Where position accuracy and mechanical stiffness
is unimpor tant, de adband operat ion can be used. This is
shown in Figure 3C.

Comparator Bia si ng
Output Drivers
Each output driver is cap ab le of both sour cing and si nki ng
100mA stea dy state and up to 500mA on a pulsed basis
for rapid switching of either POWERFET or bipolar transistors. Output levels are typically -V
level and +V
- 2.0V @50mA high level.
S
+ 0.2V @50mA low
S
Error Amplifier
The error amplifier consists of a high slew rate (15V/µs)
op-amp with a typical 1MHz bandwidth and low output impedance. Depending on the ±V
supply voltage, the com-
S
mon mode input range and the voltage output swing is
within 2V of the V
supply.
S
Under-Voltage Lockout
An under-voltage lockout circuit holds the outputs in the
low state un til a minimum o f 4V is reached. At this point,
all inter n a l cir cu itry is functional and the output drivers are
enabled. If external circuitry requi res a high er starting v oltage, an over-ridi ng voltage can be programmed through
the shutdown terminal as shown in Figure 4.

Shutdown Comparator
The shutdown terminal may be used for implementing
various shutdown and prot ection sc hemes. By pulling the
termin al mo re t han 2.5V below V
, the output dr ivers w ill

be enabled. This can be realized using an open collector
gate or NPN transistor biased to either ground or the
negative supply. Since the threshold is temperature stabilized, the comparator can be used as an accurate low
voltage lockout (Figure 4) and/or delayed start as in Figure 5. In the shutdown mode the outputs are held in the
low state.
