Where to use the SG2524 PWM Controller IC

SG2524 is a Regulating Pulse-Width Modulator IC that incorporates all the functions required in the construction of a regulating power supply, inverter, or switching regulator on a single chip. SG2524 includes on-chip regulator, error amplifier, programmable oscillator, pulse-steering flip-flop, two uncommitted pass transistors, a high-gain comparator, and current-limiting and shutdown circuitry.

The SG2524 can be used in applications like switching regulators of either polarity, transformer-coupled dc-to-dc converters, transformerless voltage doublers, and polarity-converter applications. They also can be used as the control element for high-power-output applications. So if you are looking for an IC to produce PWM signals for controlling a power switch based on the current flowing through the circuit, then this IC might be the right choice for you.

How to use SG2524 IC

Although the IC performs a sophisticated job, using it in a circuit is fairly simple and can be done with a minimum number of external components that make this IC a preferable choice among designers. A sample test circuit of this IC datasheet is shown below

This IC has a wide operating voltage between 8V to 40V. The regulator operates at a fixed frequency that is programmed by a one-timing resistor, RT, and one timing capacitor, CT. This IC also has an internal 5V voltage regulator that provides power supply to the SG2524 internal regulator control circuitry. The internal reference voltage is divided externally by a resistor ladder network and the output is sensed by a second resistor divider network.

Applications of SG2524

• SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supplies) circuits
• DC-DC converter circuits
• Electronics power supply
• Battery drain circuit
• Load machines
