LM5027
Voltage Mode Active Clamp Controller
General Description
Features
The LM5027 pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller con-
tains all of the features necessary to implement power con-
verters utilizing the Active Clamp / Reset technique. With the
active clamp technique, higher efficiencies and greater power
densities can be realized compared to conventional catch
winding or RDC clamp / reset techniques. Three control out-
puts are provided: the main power switch control (OUTA), the
active clamp switch control (OUTB), and secondary side syn-
chronous rectifier control (OUTSR). The timing between the
control outputs is adjustable with external resistors that pro-
gram internal precision timers. This controller is designed for
high-speed operation including an oscillator frequency range
up to 1 MHz and total PWM propagation delays less than 50
ns. The LM5027 includes a high-voltage startup regulator with
a maximum input voltage rating of 105V. Additional features
include Line Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO), separate soft-
start of main and synchronous rectifier outputs, a timer for
hiccup mode current limiting, a precision reference, and ther-
mal shutdown.
