TIPD108: 5 MHz Triangular wave for PWM

Part Number: TIPD108
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLV3502, OPA2365, TLV1832

Tool/software:

Hello TI,

I want to generate a 5 MHz bipolar triangular waveform with an 8V peak-to-peak amplitude for PWM. Is this reference design compatible with a 5 MHz triangular wave? Thanks

Best Regards

  • Hi Farhan,

    I'll be referring to this circuit specifically from the reference design.

    You will need to adjust the devices. OPA2365 and TLV3502 are 5.5V devices. TLV3502 is not able to handle the +-4V rail and a 8Vpp swing at its input. TLV1832 is a dual 40V 65-ns comparator that you might be able to use in this reference design. However, a 5MHz triangle wave has a period of 200ns. Per the "Comparator Selection" section on TIPD018, 65ns > 200ns/10 and may result in the propagation delay having a non-negligible effect on the feedback loop.

  • Hello.

    Thanks for your reply. Do i also need to change OPA2365 for getting 8Vpp?if yes can you suggest replacement. Thanks

  • Hi Farhan,

    I'll go ahead and assign this post to the high-speed amplifiers team. They will be able to assist you with device suggestions.

  • Hi Farhan,

    I was able to look over the application and filtered for FET input devices that meet the bandwidth and slew rate requirements. However, like was previously mentioned I do believe the comparator will be the limiting factor by trying to get the larger output Vpp signal. One option would be to create a small Vpp signal so that you can use the faster comparator device and potentially gain the triangle wave to the desired Vpp value in a following stage.
