The LM25037 PWM controller contains all the features necessary to implement balanced double-ended power converter topologies, such as push-pull, half-bridge and full-bridge. These double-ended topologies allow for higher efficiencies and greater power densities compared to common single-ended topologies such as the flyback and forward. The LM25037 can be configured for either voltage mode or current mode control with minimum external components. Two alternating gate drive outputs are provided, each capable of 1.2-A peak output current. The LM25037 can be configured to operate directly from the input voltage rail over an ultra-wide range of 5.5 V to 75 V. Additional features include programmable maximum duty cycle limit, line undervoltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit and a hiccup mode fault protection with adjustable timeout delay, soft-start and a 2-MHz capable oscillator with synchronization capability, precision reference and thermal shutdown.

PIN | I/O | DESCRIPTION | APPLICATION INFORMATION | |
---|---|---|---|---|
NO. | NAME | |||
1 | RAMP | I | Pulse width modulator ramp | Modulation ramp for the PWM comparator. This ramp can be a representative of the primary current (current mode) or proportional to input voltage (feed-forward voltage mode). This pin is reset to ground at the conclusion of every cycle by an internal FET. |
2 | UVLO | I | Line undervoltage lockout | An external voltage divider from the power source sets the shutdown and standby comparator threshold levels. When UVLO exceeds the 0.45V shutdown threshold, the VCC and REF regulators are enabled. When UVLO exceeds the 1.25V standby threshold, the SS pin is released and the device enters the active mode. |
3 | COMP | I/O | Input to the pulse width modulator | Output of the error amplifier and input to the PWM comparator. |
4 | FB | I | Feedback | Connected to inverting input of the error amplifier. An internal 1.25-V reference is connected to the noninverting input of the error amplifier. In isolated applications using an external error amplifier, this pin should be connected to the AGND pin. |
5 | RT2 | I | Oscillator dead-time control | The resistance connected between RT2 and AGND sets the forced dead-time between switching periods of the alternating outputs. |
6 | AGND | — | Analog ground | Connect directly to Power Ground. |
7 | RT1 | I | Oscillator maximum on-time control | The resistance connected between RT1 and AGND sets the oscillator maximum on-time. The sum of this maximum on-time and the forced dead-time (set by RT2) sets the oscillator period. |
8 | CS | I | Current sense input | If CS exceeds 250 mV the output pulse will be terminated, entering cycle-by-cycle current limit. An internal switch holds CS low for 65 nS after either output switches high to blank leading edge transients. |
9 | RES | I/O | Restart timer | If cycle-by-cycle current limit is reached during any cycle, a 18-µA current is sourced to the external RES pin capacitor. If the RES capacitor voltage reaches 2 V, the soft-start capacitor will be fully discharged and then released with a pullup current of 1 uA. After the first output pulse (when SS = 1V), the SS pin charging current will increase to the normal level of 100 µA. |
10 | SS | I | Soft-start | An external capacitor and an internal 100uA current source set the soft-start ramp. The SS current source is reduced to 1 µA following a restart event (RES pin high). |
11 | PGND | — | Power ground | Connect directly to Analog Ground |
12 | OUTB | O | Output driver | Alternating gate drive output of the pulse width modulator. Capable of 1.2-A peak source and sink current. |
13 | OUTA | O | Output driver | Alternating gate drive output of the pulse width modulator. Capable of 1.2-A peak source and sink current. |
14 | VCC | I/O | Output of the high voltage start-up regulator. The VCC voltage is regulated to 7.7 V. | If an auxiliary winding raises the voltage on this pin above the regulation set point, the internal start-up regulator will shutdown thus reducing the IC power dissipation. Locally decouple VCC with a 0.47 µF or greater capacitor. |
15 | REF | O | Output of a 5-V reference | Locally decouple with a 0.1 µF or greater capacitor. Maximum output current is 10 mA (typical). |
16 | VIN | I | Input voltage source | Input to the VCC Start-up regulator. Operating input range is 5.5 V to 75 V. For power sources outside of this range, the LM25037 can be biased directly at VCC by an external regulator. |
