LM2524D/LM3524D
Regulating Pulse Width Modulator
General Description
The LM3524D family is an improved version of the industry
standard LM3524. It has improved specifications and addi-
tional features yet is pin for pin compatible with existing 3524
families. New features reduce the need for additional external
circuitry often required in the original version.
The LM3524D has a ±1% precision 5V reference. The current
carrying capability of the output drive transistors has been
raised to 200 mA while reducing V
CEsat
and increasing V
CE
breakdown to 60V. The common mode voltage range of the
error-amp has been raised to 5.5V to eliminate the need for
a resistive divider from the 5V reference.
In the LM3524D the circuit bias line has been isolated from
the shut-down pin. This prevents the oscillator pulse ampli-
tude and frequency from being disturbed by shut-down. Also
at high frequencies (≃300 kHz) the max. duty cycle per output
has been improved to 44% compared to 35% max. duty cycle
in other 3524s.
In addition, the LM3524D can now be synchronized external-
ly, through pin 3. Also a latch has been added to insure one
pulse per period even in noisy environments. The LM3524D
includes double pulse suppression logic that insures when a
shut-down condition is removed the state of the T-flip-flop will
change only after the first clock pulse has arrived. This feature
prevents the same output from being pulsed twice in a row,
thus reducing the possibility of core saturation in push-pull
designs.

Note 1:
Unless otherwise stated, these specifications apply for T

= 25°C. Boldface numbers apply over the rated temperature range: LM2524D is −40° to
85°C and LM3524D is 0°C to 70°C. V

Note 2:
For operation at elevated temperatures, devices in the N package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 86°C/W, junction to ambient. Devices
in the M package must be derated at 125°C/W, junction to ambient.
Note 3:
Tested limits are guaranteed and 100% tested in production.
Note 4:
Design limits are guaranteed (but not 100% production tested) over the indicated temperature and supply voltage range. These limits are not used to
calculate outgoing quality level.
Note 5:
Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its rated operating conditions.
Note 6:
Pins 1, 4, 7, 8, 11, and 14 are grounded; Pin 2 = 2V. All other inputs and outputs open.
Note 7:
The value of a C
t
capacitor can vary with frequency. Careful selection of this capacitor must be made for high frequency operation. Polystyrene was used
in this test. NPO ceramic or polypropylene can also be used.
Note 8:
OSC amplitude is measured open circuit. Available current is limited to 1 mA so care must be exercised to limit capacitive loading of fast pulses.
