Determine LM5025B tolerance range given a particular frequency and overlap time

Akeem Whitehead

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5025B

On behalf of a customer:

"I'm using the LM5025B PWM controller with Overlap and I'm trying to determine the worse case minimum Output A on time.

On page 12 of the data sheet the last equation in Maximum Duty Cycle shows Max Duty Cycle = 75% - 100ns * 400 KHz = 71%.

I then go to the Electrical Characteristics Table under PWM Comparator where it shows a Max Duty Cycle of 71 percent.

Is this 71 percent directly related to the 71% in the Max Duty Cycle paragraph?

If so, does that mean if I go to a different frequency and overlap time, my actual minimum Output A on time would be (66% + 100 ns * 400 kHz) - (my overlap time * my new switching frequency).

If this isn't the case, how do I go about determining the tolerance range giving my particular frequency and overlap time?

Thank you."

    Dear customer,

    Please see my reply as below

    1)Is this 71 percent directly related to the 71% in the Max Duty Cycle paragraph?

    Yes. the test condition of this 71% result are that switcing frequency is equal to 400KHz (or RT=13.3Kohm) and the overlap time on the rising edge is equal to 100ns.

    2) If so, does that mean if I go to a different frequency and overlap time, my actual minimum Output A on time would be (66% + 100 ns * 400 kHz) - (my overlap time * my new switching frequency).

    I guess you are asking for how to calculate the maximum OUTA on time. If so, please refer to below equation

    Ouput A maximum on time= (75%-overlap time*switching frequency)/ switching frequency

    Best Regards

    Frank,

    Thanks for the response.  What I'm trying to determine is the range of OUTA maximum on time given a different switching frequency and overlap time than what the datasheet shows.  For the conditions in the datasheet, the Electrical Characteristics Table has a range of OUTA maximum on time from 66% to 75%, but what happens to the range if the switching frequency and overlap time change to a different condition?
