UC2524A: Is there any document or application note that CL+,CL- terminal usage can be known?

Part Number: UC2524A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UC2524, UC1524A

Hello guys,

One of my customers is looking for any document or application note that CL+,CL- terminal usage can be known because they don't know well how to connect CL+,CL- terminals of UC2524A.

Do you have any document which has whole schematic using UC2524A?

Your reply would be much appreciated.

Best regards,

Kazuya Nakai.

Hello Kazuya Nakai,
The UC2524A uses these pins as the overcurrent comparator to stop the PWM output.
CL+ and CL- are connected to a small current sense resistor,R.
Also connect CL- to GND and connect CL+ to the return path for your DC input power.
This resistor sets the current limit for your application.
The current limit = 0.2/R

Hope this answers your question.
Regards
John

Hello John,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

Can schematics shown in UC2524 datasheet be applied to UC2524A?

Hello John,

Let me ask you again in other words.

Can UC2524A be used with figure 6 or 7 in UC2524 datasheet?

Also in Figure6, UC1524 CL+ (No.4) is connected to GND (No.8). My understanding is that PWM switching is stopped by pulling OSC OUT signal to GND internally when CL-（No.5) voltage is less 200mV than GND. Is my understanding correct?

Thank you and best regards,
Kazuya Nakai.

Hello Kazuya Nakai,

The UC1524A is an improved version of the UC1524 and is fully interchangeable.

There is an error in the datasheet for the UC1524

Pin 5 is connected to the non inverting input of the current amplifier as shown in the block schematic (attached)

So for the current limit to trip pin 5 is connected to GND and the voltage on pin 4 needs to increase with load.

Use the data sheet for the UC2524A.

Regards

John

Hello John,

I can see that no.4 pin is connected to non-inverting pin of CL comparator in the connection diagram on page 2 in UC1524 datasheet. You said this connection is an errors, isn't it?

Also two schematics, Figure 6 and 7 in UC1524 datasheet don't have any error, do it?

Thank you and best regards,
Kazuya Nakai.

Hello Kazuya,
Yes that is correct.
The pin labelled "+SENSE" goes to the inverting input.

John
