s FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

1.

Switching Regulator Functions

(1) Reference voltage circuit (Ref)

The reference voltage circuit generates a temperature-compensated stable voltage ( := 1.50 V) . This reference

voltage is used as the reference voltage and bias level for the power control unit.

(2) Triangular-wave oscillator circuit

generate any desired triangular oscillation waveform.

(3) Error amplifier

The error amp. is an amplifier circuit that detects the output voltage from the switching regulator and produces

the PWM control signal. The broad in-phase input voltage range of 0 V to Vcc

− 0.9 V provides easy setting from

external power supplies and enables use with applications such as DC motor speed control systems.

Also, it is possible to provide stable phase compensation for a system by setting up any desired level of loop

gain, by connecting feedback resistance and a capacitor between the error amp. output terminal (FB terminal

(pin 5) ) and the inverse input terminal (

−IN terminal (pin 4) ) .

(4) PWM comparator (PWM Comp.)

This is a voltage comparator with one inverted input and three non-inverted inputs, and operates as a voltage-

pulse width modulator controlling output duty in relation to input voltage.

The output transistor is turned on during the interval in which the triangular waveform is lower than any of three

voltages : the error amp. output voltage (FB terminal (pin 5) ) , soft start set voltage (CS terminal (pin 13) ) , or

dwell time setting voltage (DTC terminal (pin 6) ) .

(5) Output circuits (OUT)

The output circuit has totem pole type configuration, and can drive an external PNP transistor.

The on current value can be set up to a maximum of 30 mA using the resistance (RE) connected to the VE

terminal (pin 11) .

(pin 8) .

Power Supply Control Functions

The output is switched on and off according to the voltage level at the CTL terminal (pin 15) .
