SG54/SG54/SG54 APPLICATION NOTES OSCILLATOR The oscillator in the SG54 uses an external resistor R T to establish a constant charging current into an external capacitor C T. While this uses more current than a series-connected RC, it provides a linear ramp voltage at C T which is used as a timedependent reference for the PWM comparator. The charging current is equal to.6/r T, and should be restricted to between 0 and ma. The equivalent range for R T is.8k to 00K. The range of values for C T also has limits, as the discharge time of C T determines the pulse width of the oscillator output pulse. The pulse is used (among other things) as a blanking pulse to both outputs to insure that there is no possibility of having both outputs on simultaneously during transitions. This output deadtime relationship is shown in Figure. A pulse width below 0.5 microseconds may cause failure of the internal flip-flop to toggle. This restricts the minimum value of C T to 000pF. (Note: Although the oscillator output is a convenient oscilloscope sync input, the probe capacitance will increase the pulse width and decrease the oscillator frequency slightly.) Obviously, the upper limit to the pulse width is determined by the modulation range required in the power supply at the chosen switching frequency. Practical values of C T fall between 000pF and 0.µF, although successful 0 Hz oscillators have been implemented with values up to 5µF and a series surge limit resistor of 00 ohms. The oscillator frequency is approximately /R T C T ; where R is in ohms, C is in microfarads, and the frequency is in Megahertz. For greater accuracy, the chart in Figure may be used for a wide range of operating frequencies. Note that for buck regulator topologies, the two outputs can be wire-ored for an effective 0-90% duty cycle range. With this connection, the output frequency is the same as the oscillator frequency. For push-pull applications, the outputs are used separately; the flip-flop limits the duty cycle range at each output to 0-45%, and the effective switching frequency at the transformer is / the oscillator frequency. If it is desired to synchronize the SG54 to an external clock, a positive pulse may be applied to the clock pin. The oscillator should be programmed with R T and C T values that cause it to freerun at 90% of the external sync frequency. A sync pulse with a maximum logic 0 of +0. volts and a minimum logic of +.4 volts applied to Pin will lock the oscillator to the external source. The minimum sync pulsewidth should be 00 nanoseconds, and the maximum is determined by the required deadtime. The clock pin should never be driven more negative than -0. volts, nor more positive than +5.0 volts. The nominal resistance to ground is.k at the clock pin, ±5% over temperature. If two or more SG54s must be synchronized together, program one master unit with R T and C T for the desired frequency. Leave the R T pins on the slaves open, connect the C T pins to the C T of the master, and connect the clock pins to the clock pin of the master. Since C T is a high-impedance node, this sync technique works best when all devices are close together. FIGURE - OUTPUT STAGE DEADTIME S. C T FIGURE - OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY S.

SG54/SG54/SG54 APPLICATION NOTES (continued) CURRENT LIMITING The current limiting circuitry of the SG54 is shown in Figure. By matching the base-emitter voltages of Q and Q, and assuming a negligible voltage drop across R: C.L. Threshold = BE (Q) + I R - BE (Q) = I R ~ 00 m Although this circuit provides a relatively small threshold with a negligible temperature coefficient, there are some limitations to its use because of its simplicity. The most important of these is the limited common-mode voltage range: ±0. volts around ground. This requires sensing in the ground or return line of the power supply. Also precautions should be taken to not turn on the parasitic substrate diode of the integrated circuit, even under transient conditions. A Schottky clamp diode at Pin 5 may be required in some configurations to achieve this. A second factor to consider is that the response time is relatively slow. The current limit amplifier is internally compensated by R, C, and Q, resulting in a roll-off pole at approximately 00 Hz. A third factor to consider is the bias current of the C.L. Sense pins. A constant current of approximately flows out of Pin 4, and a variable current with a range of 0- flows out of Pin 5. As a result, the equivalent source impedance seen by the current sense pins should be less than ohms to keep the threshold error less than 5%. Since the gain of this circuit is relatively low (4 db), there is a transition region as the current limit amplifier takes over pulse width control from the error amplifier. For testing purposes, threshold is defined as the input voltage required to get 5% duty cycle (+ volts at the error amplifier output) with the error amplifier signaling maximum duty cycle. APPLICATION NOTE: If the current limit function is not used on the SG54, the common-mode voltage range restriction requires both current sense pins to be grounded. FIGURE - CURRENT LIMITING CIRCUITRY OF THE SG54 In this conventional single-ended regulator circuit, the two outputs of the SG54 are connected in parallel for effective 0-90% duty-cycle modulation. The use of an output inductor requires and R-C phase compensation network for loop stability. Push-pull outputs are used in this transformer-coupled DC-DC regulating converter. Note that the oscillator must be set at twice the desired output frequency as the SG54's internal flip-flop divides the frequency by as it switches the P.W.M. signal from one output to the other. Current limiting is done here in the primary so that the pulse width will be reduced should transformer saturation occur. 4/90 Rev. /94 LINFINITY Microelectronics Inc.
