LM2524D/LM3524D
Regulating Pulse Width Modulator
General Description
The LM3524D family is an improved version of the industry
standard LM3524. It has improved specifications and addi-
tional features yet is pin for pin compatible with existing 3524
families. New features reduce the need for additional exter-
nal circuitry often required in the original version.
The LM3524D has a
±
1% precision 5V reference. The cur-
rent carrying capability of the output drive transistors has
been raised to 200 mA while reducing V
CEsat
and increasing
V
CE
breakdown to 60V. The common mode voltage range of
the error-amp has been raised to 5.5V to eliminate the need
for a resistive divider from the 5V reference.
In the LM3524D the circuit bias line has been isolated from
the shut-down pin. This prevents the oscillator pulse ampli-
tude and frequency from being disturbed by shut-down. Also
at high frequencies (
.
300 kHz) the max. duty cycle per
output has been improved to 44% compared to 35% max.
duty cycle in other 3524s.
In addition, the LM3524D can now be synchronized exter-
nally, through pin 3. Also a latch has been added to insure
one pulse per period even in noisy environments. The
LM3524D includes double pulse suppression logic that in-
sures when a shut-down condition is removed the state of
the T-flip-flop will change only after the first clock pulse has
arrived. This feature prevents the same output from being
pulsed twice in a row, thus reducing the possibility of core
saturation in push-pull designs.
