Texas Instruments TL1454/TL1454Y Dual-Channel PWM Control Circuit Datasheet

The TL1454/TL1454Y are dual-channel pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control circuits, primarily intended for low-power dc/dc converters. Applications include LCD displays, backlight inverters, notebook computers and other products requiring small, high-frequency dc/dc converters. Each PWM channel has its own error amplifier, PWM comparator, dead-time control comparator, and MOSFET driver. The voltage reference, oscillator, undervoltage lockout and short-circuit protection are common to both channels. Channel 1 is configured to drive n-channel MOSFETs in step-up or flyback converters, and channel 2 is configured to drive p-channel MOSFETs in step-down or inverting converters. The operating frequency is set with an external resistor and an external capacitor, and dead time is continuously adjustable from 0 to 100% duty cycle with a resistive divider network. Soft start can be implemented by adding a capacitor to the dead-time control (DTC) network. The error-amplifier common-mode input range includes ground, therefore this circuit can be used in low-voltage applications.

Frequently asked questions

How is the oscillator frequency set?

The frequency is set between 50 kHz and 2 MHz using an external resistor connected between RT and GND and a capacitor between CT and GND.

What is the function of the short-circuit protection (SCP)?

The SCP function prevents damage to power switches when the converter output is shorted to ground by turning off the output drives and resetting the soft-start circuit.
