DESCRIPTION
The UC1525A/1527A 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 +5.1-V reference is trimmed to
1% 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 C
T
and the discharge terminals
provides 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 devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
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 500 mV 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 200 mA. The UC1525A output stage features NOR logic, giving a LOW output for an OFF state. The
UC1527A utilizes OR logic which results in a HIGH output level when OFF.
