Functional Description
Internal Voltage Regulator
The LM3524D has an on-chip 5V, 50 mA, short circuit protected voltage regulator. This voltage regulator
provides a supply for all internal circuitry of the device and can be used as an external reference.
For input voltages of less than 8V the 5V output should be shorted to pin 15, VIN, which disables the 5V
regulator. With these pins shorted the input voltage must be limited to a maximum of 6V. If input voltages of
6V–8V are to be used, a pre-regulator, as shown in Figure 11, must be added.
*Minimum COof 10 μF required for stability.
Figure 11.
Oscillator
The LM3524D provides a stable on-board oscillator. Its frequency is set by an external resistor, RTand capacitor,
CT. A graph of RT, CTvs oscillator frequency is shown is Figure 12. The oscillator's output provides the signals
for triggering an internal flip-flop, which directs the PWM information to the outputs, and a blanking pulse to turn
off both outputs during transitions to ensure that cross conduction does not occur. The width of the blanking
pulse, or dead time, is controlled by the value of CT, as shown in Figure 13. The recommended values of RTare
1.8 kΩto 100 kΩ, and for CT, 0.001 μF to 0.1 μF.
If two or more LM3524D's must be synchronized together, the easiest method is to interconnect all pin 3
terminals, tie all pin 7's (together) to a single CT, and leave all pin 6's open except one which is connected to a
single RT. This method works well unless the LM3524D's are more than 6″apart.
A second synchronization method is appropriate for any circuit layout. One LM3524D, designated as master,
must have its RTCTset for the correct period. The other slave LM3524D(s) should each have an RTCTset for a
10% longer period. All pin 3's must then be interconnected to allow the master to properly reset the slave units.
The oscillator may be synchronized to an external clock source by setting the internal free-running oscillator
frequency 10% slower than the external clock and driving pin 3 with a pulse train (approx. 3V) from the clock.
Pulse width should be greater than 50 ns to insure full synchronization.

Error Amplifier
The error amplifier is a differential input, transconductance amplifier. Its gain, nominally 86 dB, is set by either
feedback or output loading. This output loading can be done with either purely resistive or a combination of
resistive and reactive components. A graph of the amplifier's gain vs output load resistance is shown in
Figure 14.
Figure 14.
The output of the amplifier, or input to the pulse width modulator, can be overridden easily as its output
impedance is very high (ZO≃5 MΩ). For this reason a DC voltage can be applied to pin 9 which will override the
error amplifier and force a particular duty cycle to the outputs. An example of this could be a non-regulating
motor speed control where a variable voltage was applied to pin 9 to control motor speed. A graph of the output
duty cycle vs the voltage on pin 9 is shown in Figure 15.
The duty cycle is calculated as the percentage ratio of each output's ON-time to the oscillator period. Paralleling
the outputs doubles the observed duty cycle.

Figure 15.
The amplifier's inputs have a common-mode input range of 1.5V–5.5V. The on board regulator is useful for
biasing the inputs to within this range.
Current Limiting
The function of the current limit amplifier is to override the error amplifier's output and take control of the pulse
width. The output duty cycle drops to about 25% when a current limit sense voltage of 200 mV is applied
between the +CLand −CLsense terminals. Increasing the sense voltage approximately 5% results in a 0% output
duty cycle. Care should be taken to ensure the −0.7V to +1.0V input common-mode range is not exceeded.
In most applications, the current limit sense voltage is produced by a current through a sense resistor. The
accuracy of this measurement is limited by the accuracy of the sense resistor, and by a small offset current,
typically 100 μA, flowing from +CL to −CL.
Output Stages
The outputs of the LM3524D are NPN transistors, capable of a maximum current of 200 mA. These transistors
are driven 180° out of phase and have non-committed open collectors and emitters as shown in Figure 16.

Basic Switching Regulator Theory and Applications
The basic circuit of a step-down switching regulator circuit is shown in Figure 22, along with a practical circuit
design using the LM3524D in Figure 25.
Figure 22. Basic Step-Down Switching Regulator
The circuit works as follows: Q1 is used as a switch, which has ON and OFF times controlled by the pulse width
modulator. When Q1 is ON, power is drawn from VIN and supplied to the load through L1; VAis at approximately
VIN, D1 is reverse biased, and Cois charging. When Q1 turns OFF the inductor L1 will force VAnegative to keep
the current flowing in it, D1 will start conducting and the load current will flow through D1 and L1. The voltage at
VAis smoothed by the L1, Cofilter giving a clean DC output. The current flowing through L1 is equal to the
nominal DC load current plus some ΔILwhich is due to the changing voltage across it. A good rule of thumb is to
set ΔILP-P
≃
40% × Io.

Also, see LM1578 data sheet for graphical methods of inductor selection.
Calculating Output Filter Capacitor Co
Figure 23 shows L1's current with respect to Q1's tON and tOFF times (VAis at the collector of Q1). This curent
must flow to the load and Co. Co's current will then be the difference between IL, and Io.
Ico= IL−Io(11)
From Figure 23 it can be seen that current will be flowing into Cofor the second half of tON through the first half of
tOFF, or a time, tON/2 + tOFF/2. The current flowing for this time is ΔIL/4. The resulting ΔVcor ΔVois described by:
(12)
For best regulation, the inductor's current cannot be allowed to fall to zero. Some minimum load current Io, and
thus inductor current, is required as shown below:

A complete step-down switching regulator schematic, using the LM3524D, is illustrated in Figure 25. Transistors
Q1 and Q2 have been added to boost the output to 1A. The 5V regulator of the LM3524D has been divided in
half to bias the error amplifier's non-inverting input to within its common-mode range. Since each output
transistor is on for half the period, actually 45%, they have been paralleled to allow longer possible duty cycle, up
to 90%. This makes a lower possible input voltage. The output voltage is set by:

The Step-Up Switching Regulator
Figure 28 shows the basic circuit for a step-up switching regulator. In this circuit Q1 is used as a switch to
alternately apply VIN across inductor L1. During the time, tON, Q1 is ON and energy is drawn from VIN and stored
in L1; D1 is reverse biased and Iois supplied from the charge stored in Co. When Q1 opens, tOFF, voltage V1 will
rise positively to the point where D1 turns ON. The output current is now supplied through L1, D1 to the load and
any charge lost from Coduring tON is replenished. Here also, as in the step-down regulator, the current through
L1 has a DC component plus some ΔIL.ΔILis again selected to be approximately 40% of IL.Figure 29 shows the
inductor's current in relation to Q1's ON and OFF times.

In calculating input current IIN(DC), which equals the inductor's DC current, assume first 100% efficiency:

This equation shows that the input, or inductor, current is larger than the output current by the factor (1 +
tON/tOFF). Since this factor is the same as the relation between Voand VIN, IIN(DC) can also be expressed as:

So far it is assumed η= 100%, where the actual efficiency or ηMAX will be somewhat less due to the saturation
voltage of Q1 and forward on voltage of D1. The internal power loss due to these voltages is the average IL
current flowing, or IIN, through either VSAT or VD1. For VSAT = VD1 = 1V this power loss becomes IIN(DC) (1V). ηMAX
is then:
(21)
(22)
This equation assumes only DC losses, however ηMAX is further decreased because of the switching time of Q1
and D1.
In calculating the output capacitor Coit can be seen that Cosupplies Ioduring tON. The voltage change on Co
during this time will be some ΔVc=ΔVoor the output ripple of the regulator. Calculation of Cois:

This holds the output of the error amplifier initially low thus reducing the duty-cycle to a minimum. Without the
slow start circuit the inductor may saturate at turn-on because it has to supply high peak currents to charge the
output capacitor from 0V. It should also be noted that this circuit has no supply rejection. By adding a reference
voltage at the non-inverting input to the error amplifier, see Figure 31, the input voltage variations are rejected.
The LM3524D can also be used in inductorless switching regulators. Figure 32 shows a polarity inverter which if
connected to Figure 30 provides a −15V unregulated output.

should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and
services.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced
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.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that

Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
