Unitrode UC1525A/27A UC2525A/27A UC3525A/27A Regulating Pulse Width Modulator Datasheet
The UC1525A/27A, UC2525A/27A and UC3525A/27A are regulating pulse width modulator integrated circuits intended for switching power supply designs. The document lists features such as 8 to 35V operation, a 5.1V reference trimmed to ±1%, a 100Hz to 500kHz oscillator range, adjustable deadtime control, internal soft-start, pulse-by-pulse shutdown, and dual source/sink output drivers.
The datasheet provides absolute maximum ratings, recommended operating conditions, connection diagrams and pin functions, and electrical characteristics for the reference, oscillator, error amplifier, PWM comparator, shutdown and output driver sections. It also includes principles of operation, typical characteristics, shutdown options, oscillator and output circuit diagrams, and a lab test fixture.
