The two internal compound gate drivers parallel both MOS and Bipolar devices, providing superior gate drive characteristics. This controller is designed for highspeed operation including an oscillator frequency range up to 1MHz and total PWM and current sense propagation delays less than 100 ns.

The functional differences of the LM5025C are: The maximum duty cycle of the LM5025C is increased from 80% to 91%. The soft-start capacitor charging current is increased from 20 A to 90 A. The VCC regulator current limit threshold is increased from 25 mA to 55 mA. The CS1 and CS2 current limit thresholds have been increased to 0.5V (same as LM5025A). The internal CS2 filter discharge device has been disabled and no longer operates each clock cycle (same as LM5025A). The internal VCC and VREF regulators continue to operate when the line UVLO pin is below threshold (same as LM5025A). The LM5025C PWM controller contains all of the features necessary to implement power converters utilizing the Active Clamp Reset technique. The device can be configured to control either a P-Channel clamp switch or an N-Channel clamp switch. With the active clamp technique higher efficiencies and greater power densities can be realized compared to conventional catch winding or RDC clamp / reset techniques. Two control outputs are provided, the main power switch control (OUT_A) and the active clamp switch control (OUT_B). The active clamp output can be configured for either a guaranteed overlap time (for P-Channel switch applications) or a guaranteed dead time (for N_Channel applications). The two internal compound gate drivers parallel both MOS and Bipolar devices, providing superior gate drive characteristics. This controller is designed for high-speed operation including an oscillator frequency range up to 1MHz and total PWM and current sense propagation delays less than 100ns. The LM5025C includes a high-voltage start-up regulator that operates over a wide input range of 13V to 90V. Additional features include: Line Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO), softstart, oscillator UP/DOWN sync capability, precision reference and thermal shutdown. Line Under-Voltage Detector The LM5025C contains a line Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) circuit. An external set-point voltage divider from Vin to GND, sets the operational range of the converter. The divider must be designed such that the voltage at the UVLO pin will be greater than 2.5V when Vin is in the desired operating range. If the undervoltage threshold is not met, both outputs are disabled,all other functions of the controller remain active. UVLO hysteresis is accomplished with an internal 20 uA current source that is switched on or off into the impedance of the set-point divider. When the UVLO threshold is exceeded, the current source is activated to instantly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin. When the UVLO pin voltage falls below the 2.5V threshold, the current source is turned off causing the voltage at the UVLO pin to fall. The UVLO pin can also be used to implement a remote enable / disable function. Pulling the UVLO pin below the 2.5V threshold disables the PWM outputs. PWM Outputs The relative phase of the main (OUT_A) and active clamp outputs (OUT_B) can be configured for the specific application. For active clamp configurations utilizing a ground referenced P-Channel clamp switch, the two outputs should be in phase with the active clamp output overlapping the main output. For active clamp configurations utilizing a high side NChannel switch, the active clamp output should be out of phase with main output and there should be a dead time between the two gate drive pulses. A distinguishing feature of the LM5025C is the ability to accurately configure either dead time (both off) or overlap time (both on) of the gate driver outputs. The overlap / deadtime magnitude is controlled by the resistor value connected to the TIME pin of the controller. The opposite end of the resistor can be connected to either REF for deadtime control or GND for overlap control. The internal configuration detector senses the connection and configures the phase relationship of the main and active clamp outputs. The magnitude of the overlap/dead time can be calculated as follows: Overlap Time (ns) = 2.8 x RSET - 1.2 Dead Time (ns) = 2.9 x RSET +20 RSET in k, Time in ns High Voltage Start-Up Regulator The LM5025C contains an internal high voltage start-up regulator that allows the input pin (VIN) to be connected directly to the line voltage. The regulator output is internally current limited to 55 mA. When power is applied, the regulator is enabled and sources current into an external capacitor connected to the VCC pin. The recommended capacitance range for the VCC regulator is 0.1 F to 100 F. When the voltage on the VCC pin reaches the regulation point of 7.6V and the internal voltage reference (REF) reaches its regulation point of 5V, the controller outputs are enabled. The outputs will remain enabled until VCC falls below 6.2V or the line Under Voltage Lock Out detector indicates that VIN is out of range. In typical applications, an auxiliary transformer winding is connected through a diode to the VCC pin. This winding must raise the VCC voltage above 8V to shut off the internal start-up regula- 9 www.national.com LM5025C tor. Powering VCC from an auxiliary winding improves efficiency while reducing the controller power dissipation. When the converter auxiliary winding is inactive, external current draw on the VCC line should be limited so the power dissipated in the start-up regulator does not exceed the maximum power dissipation of the controller. An external start-up regulator or other bias rail can be used instead of the internal start-up regulator by connecting the VCC and the VIN pins together and feeding the external bias voltage into the two pins. Detailed Operating Description LM5025C 30058912 FIGURE 1. up for an optocoupler. The comparator polarity is such that 0V on the COMP pin will produce a zero duty cycle on both gate driver outputs. Compound Gate Drivers The LM5025C contains two unique compound gate drivers, which parallel both MOS and Bipolar devices to provide high drive current throughout the entire switching event. The Bipolar device provides most of the drive current capability and provides a relatively constant sink current which is ideal for driving large power MOSFETs. As the switching event nears conclusion and the Bipolar device saturates, the internal MOS device continues to provide a low impedance to compete the switching event. During turn-off at the Miller plateau region, typically around 2V - 3V, is where gate driver current capability is needed most. The resistive characteristics of all MOS gate drivers are adequate for turn-on since the supply to output voltage differential is fairly large at the Miller region. During turn-off however, the voltage differential is small and the current source characteristic of the Bipolar gate driver is beneficial to provide fast drive capability. Volt Second Clamp The Volt x Second Clamp comparator compares the ramp signal (RAMP) to a fixed 2.5V reference. By proper selection of RFF and CFF, the maximum ON time of the main switch can be set to the desired duration. The ON time set by Volt x Second Clamp varies inversely with the line voltage because the RAMP capacitor is charged by a resistor connected to Vin while the threshold of the clamp is a fixed voltage (2.5V). An example will illustrate the use of the Volt x Second Clamp comparator to achieve a 50% duty cycle limit, at 200 kHz, at a 48V line input: A 50% duty cycle at a 200 kHz requires a 2.5 s of ON time. At 48V input the Volt x Second product is 120V x s (48V x 2.5s). To achieve this clamp level: RFF x CFF = VIN x TON / 2.5V 48 x 2.5 / 2.5 = 48 Select CFF = 470 pF RFF = 102k The recommended capacitor value range for CFF is 100 pF to 1000 pF. The CFF ramp capacitor is discharged at the conclusion of every cycle by an internal discharge switch controlled by either the internal clock or by the V x S Clamp comparator, whichever event occurs first. Current Limit The LM5025C contains two modes of over-current protection. If the sense voltage at the CS1 input exceeds 0.5V the present power cycle is terminated (cycle-by-cycle current limit). If the sense voltage at the CS2 input exceeds 0.5V, the controller will terminate the present cycle, discharge the softstart capacitor and reduce the softstart current source to 1 A. The softstart (SS) capacitor is released after being fully discharged and slowly charges with a 1 A current source. When the voltage at the SS pin reaches approximately 1V, the PWM comparator will produce the first output pulse at OUT_A. After the first pulse occurs, the softstart current source will revert to the normal 90 A level. Fully discharging and then slowly 30058913 PWM Comparator The PWM comparator compares the ramp signal (RAMP) to the loop error signal (COMP). This comparator is optimized for speed in order to achieve minimum controllable duty cycles. The internal 5k pull-up resistor, connected between the internal 5V reference and COMP, can be used as the pull- www.national.com 10 current sense signal. The CS2 discharge FET only operates following a CS2 event, UVLO and thermal shutdown. The LM5025C CS comparators are very fast and may respond to short duration noise pulses. Layout considerations are critical for the current sense filter and sense resistor. The capacitor associated with the CS filter must be placed very close to the device and connected directly to the pins of the IC (CS and GND). If a current sense transformer is used, both leads of the transformer secondary should be routed to the filter network , which should be located close to the IC. If a sense resistor in the source of the main switch MOSFET is used for current sensing, a low inductance type of resistor is required. When designing with a current sense resistor, all of the noise sensitive low power ground connections should be connected together near the IC GND and a single connection should be made to the power ground (sense resistor ground point). Oscillator and Sync Capability The LM5025C oscillator is set by a single external resistor connected between the RT pin and GND. To set a desired oscillator frequency (F), the necessary RT resistor can be calculated from: RT = (6002/F)1.0192 where F is in kHz and RT in k. The RT resistor should be located very close to the device and connected directly to the pins of the IC (RT and GND). A unique feature of LM5025C is the ability to synchronize the oscillator to an external clock with a frequency that is either higher or lower than the frequency of the internal oscillator. The lower frequency sync frequency range is 91% of the free running internal oscillator frequency. There is no constraint on the maximum SYNC frequency. A minimum pulse width of 100 ns is required for the synchronization clock . If the synchronization feature is not required, the SYNC pin should be connected to GND to prevent any abnormal interference . The internal oscillator can be completely disabled by connecting the RT pin to REF. Once disabled, the sync signal will act directly as the master clock for the controller. Both the frequency and the maximum duty cycle of the PWM controller can be controlled by the SYNC signal (within the limitations of the Volt x Second Clamp). The maximum duty cycle (D) will be (1-D) of the SYNC signal. 30058914 11 www.national.com LM5025C charging the SS capacitor protects a continuously over-loaded converter with a low duty cycle hiccup mode. These two modes of over-current protection allow the user great flexibility to configure the system behavior in over-load conditions. If it is desired for the system to act as a current source during an over-load, then the CS1 cycle-by-cycle current limiting should be used. In this case the current sense signal should be applied to the CS1 input and the CS2 input should be grounded. If during an overload condition it is desired for the system to briefly shutdown, followed by softstart retry, then the CS2 hiccup current limiting mode should be used. In this case the current sense signal should be applied to the CS2 input and the CS1 input should be grounded. This shutdown / soft-start retry will repeat indefinitely while the over-load condition remains. The hiccup mode will greatly reduce the thermal stresses to the system during heavy overloads. The cycle-by-cycle mode will have higher system thermal dissipations during heavy overloads, but provides the advantage of continuous operation for short duration overload conditions. It is possible to utilize both over-current modes concurrently, whereby slight overload conditions activate the CS1 cycle-bycycle mode while more severe overloading activates the CS2 hiccup mode. Generally the CS1 input will always be configured to monitor the main switch FET current each cycle. The CS2 input can be configured in several different ways depending upon the system requirements. a) The CS2 input can also be set to monitor the main switch FET current except scaled to a higher threshold than CS1. b) An external over-current timer can be configured which trips after a pre-determined over-current time, driving the CS2 input high, initiating a hiccup event. c) In a closed loop voltage regulaton system, the COMP input will rise to saturation when the cycle-by-cycle current limit is active. An external filter/delay timer and voltage divider can be configured between the COMP pin and the CS2 pin to scale and delay the COMP voltage. If the CS2 pin voltage reaches 0.5V a hiccup event will initiate. A small RC filter, located near the controller, is recommended for each of the CS pins. The CS1 input has an internal FET which discharges the current sense filter capacitor at the conclusion of every cycle, to improve dynamic performance. This same FET remains on an additional 50ns at the start of each main switch cycle to attenuate the leading edge spike in the LM5025C event of a fault as determined by VCC undervoltage, line undervoltage (UVLO) or second level current limit, the output gate drivers are disabled and the softstart capacitor is fully discharged. When the fault condition is no longer present a softstart sequence will be initiated. Following a second level current limit detection (CS2), the softstart current source is reduced to 1 A until the first output pulse is generated by the PWM comparator. The current source returns to the nominal 90 A level after the first output pulse (~1V at the SS pin). Feed-Forward Ramp An external resistor (RFF) and capacitor (CFF) connected to VIN and GND are required to create the PWM ramp signal. The slope of the signal at the RAMP pin will vary in proportion to the input line voltage. This varying slope provides line feedforward information necessary to improve line transient response with voltage mode control. The RAMP signal is compared to the error signal at the COMP pin by the pulse width modulator comparator to control the duty cycle of the main switch output. The Volt Second Clamp comparator also monitors the RAMP pin and if the ramp amplitude exceeds 2.5V the present cycle is terminated. The ramp signal is reset to GND at the end of each cycle by either the internal clock or the Volt Second comparator, which ever occurs first. Thermal Protection Internal Thermal Shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event the maximum junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 165C, the controller is forced into a low power standby state with the output drivers and the bias regulator disabled. The device will restart after the thermal hysteresis (typically 25C). During a restart after thermal shutdown, the softstart capacitor will be fully discharged and then charged in the low current mode (1 A) similar to a second level current limit event. The thermal protection feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating. Soft-Start The softstart feature allows the power converter to gradually reach the initial steady state operating point, thus reducing start-up stresses and surges. At power on, a 90 A current is sourced out of the softstart pin (SS) into an external capacitor. The capacitor voltage will ramp up slowly and will limit the COMP pin voltage and therefore the PWM duty cycle.

Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
