SNVSB14C April 2018 – October 2021 LM5036
PRODUCTION DATA
The LM5036 controller contains a three-level under-voltage lockout circuit. When the UVLO pin voltage is below VSD (0.38-V typical), the controller is in a low current shutdown mode where the functional circuit blocks are not enabled including VCC startup regulator, auxiliary supply and the main half-bridge control logic and gate drive circuitry, etc.
When UVLO pin voltage is above VSD, the VCC and REF regulators become active.
When the VCC and REF outputs exceed their respective UV thresholds and the input voltage VIN rises above VAUX_UVLO (15-V typical), the auxiliary supply is enabled.
When UVLO pin voltage rises above VUVLO (1.25-V typical) and VCC and REF voltage are above their respective UV thresholds, the control logic of the main half-bridge converter is enabled. The soft-start capacitor is released and normal operation begins. An external set-point voltage divider from VIN to GND can be used to set the minimum operating voltage of the half-bridge converter. The divider must be designed such that the voltage at the UVLO pin is greater than VUVLO when VIN enters the desired operating range. UVLO hysteresis is accomplished with an internal current sink IUVLO (20-µA typical) that is switched on or off into the impedance of the external set-point divider. When the UVLO pin voltage threshold of VUVLO is exceeded, the current sink is deactivated to quickly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin. When the UVLO pin voltage falls below the VUVLO threshold, the current sink is enabled causing the voltage at the UVLO pin to quickly fall. See Table 7-1 for more detail on functional modes of LM5036.
