LM5026
Active Clamp Current Mode PWM Controller
General Description
The LM5026 PWM controller contains all of the features
necessary to implement power converters utilizing the active
clamp / reset technique with current mode control. With the
active clamp technique, higher efficiencies and greater
power densities can be realized compared to conventional
catch winding or RDC clamp / reset techniques. Two control
outputs are provided, the main power switch control
(OUT_A) and the active clamp switch control (OUT_B). The
device can be configured to control either a P-Channel or
N-Channel clamp switch. The main gate driver features a
compound configuration, consisting of both MOS
and Bipolar devices, providing superior gate drive character-
istics. The LM5026 can be configured to operate with bias
voltages over a wide input range of 8V to 100V. Additional
features include programmable maximum duty cycle, line
under-voltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup
mode fault operation with adjustable timeout delay, PWM
slope compensation, soft-start, 1MHz capable oscillator with
synchronization input / output capability, precision reference
and thermal shutdown.
