TL494: www.ti.com/lit/an/slva001e/slva001e.pdf has several errors, a couple of resistor names are inconsistent and misleading

Part Number: TL494
www.ti.com/lit/an/slva001e/slva001e.pdf has several errors, a couple of resistor names are inconsistent and misleading 
5.2.2 Error Amplifier
"RT"[subscript] should perhaps be "RF"[subscript]
final paragraph reads
"To increase the stability of the error-amplifier circuit, the output of the error amplifier is fed back to the inverting input through RT[subscript], reducing the gain to 101."
To me it makes more sense to read
"To increase the stability of the error-amplifier circuit, the output of the error amplifier is fed back to the inverting input through RF[subscript], reducing the gain to 101."
This would match RF[subscript] from Figure 35, joining pins 2 & 3

5.2.4 Soft Start and Dead Time
Figure 38, resistor between pins 4 & 14, reads
"RT"[subscript]
To me it makes more sense to read
"R7" (from Figure 35, connecting R6 to 5-V Ref which jumps to pin 14)

I may be mistaken. or there may be a better way to fix the documentation; note that I trained as a chemical engineer, not an electronics one ;-)

  • Hi,

    Thanks for review these!

    We will see how to get this note with your suggested editing. As these suggestions are well noticed and will need time to find a way to implement, I will close this thread per E2E requirement.
