DESCRIPTION
Pin numbers refer to 16-pin DIL and SOIC packages only.
The UC3548 family of PWM control ICs uses voltage feed-
forward control to regulate the output voltage of isolated
power supplies. The UC3548 resides on the primary side
and has the necessary features to accurately control sec-
ondary side short circuit current with average current
mode control techniques. The UC3548 can be used to
control a wide variety of converter topologies.
In addition to the basic functions required for pulse width
modulation, the UC3548 implements a patented technique
of sensing secondary current from the primary side in an
isolated buck derived converter. A current waveform syn-
thesizer monitors switch current and simulates the inductor
current downslope so that the complete current waveform
can be constructed on the primary side without actual sec-
ondary side measurement. This information on the primary
side is used by an average current mode control circuit to
accurately limit maximum output current.
The UC3548 circuitry includes a precision reference, a
wide bandwidth error amplifier for average current control,
an oscillator to generate the system clock, latching PWM
comparator and logic circuits, and a high current output
4/97
driver. The current error amplifier easily interfaces with an
optoisolator from a secondary side voltage sensing circuit.
A full featured undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit is con-
tained in the UC3548. UVLO monitors the supply voltage
to the controller (VCC), the reference voltage (VREF), and
the input line voltage (VIN). All three must be good before
soft start commences. If either VCC or VIN is low, the sup-
ply current required by the chip is only 500µA and the
output is actively held low.
Two on board protection features set controlled limits to
prevent transformer core saturation. Input voltage is moni-
tored and pulse width is constrained to limit the maximum
volt-second product applied to the transformer. A unique
patented technique limits maximum duty cycle within 3%
of a user programmed value.
These two features allow for more optimal use of trans-
formers and switches, resulting in reduced system size
and cost.
Both patents embodied in the UC3548 belong to Lambda
Electronics Incorporated and are licensed for use in appli-
cations employing these devices.

UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
The undervoltage lockout block diagram is shown in Fig-
ure 1. The VCC comparator monitors chip supply voltage.
Hysteretic thresholds are set at 13V and 10V to facilitate
off-line applications. If the VCC comparator is low, ICC is
low (<500µA) and the output is low.
The UV comparator monitors input line voltage (V
IN
). A
pair of resistors divides the input line to UV. Hysteretic in-
put line thresholds are programmed by Rv1 and Rv2. The
thresholds are
V
IN
(on) = 4.35V
(1 + Rv1/Rv2′) and
V
IN
(off) = 4.35V
(1 + Rv1/Rv2) where
Rv2′ = Rv2||90k.
The resulting hysteresis is
V
IN
(hys) = 4.35V
Rv1 / 90k.

UC2548
UC3548
When the UV comparator is low, I
CC
is low (<500µA) and
the output is low.
When both the UV and VCC comparators are high, the in-
ternal bias circuitry for the remainder of the chip is
activated. The CDC pin (see discussion on Maximum Duty
Cycle Control and Soft Start) and the Output are held low
until VREF exceeds the 4.5V threshold of the VREF com-
parator. When VREF is good, control of the output driver is
transferred to the PWM circuitry and CDC is allowed to
charge.
If any of the three UVLO comparators go low, the UVLO
latch is set, the output is held low, and CDC is discharged.
This state will be maintained until all three comparators are
high and the CDC pin is fully discharged.

OSCILLATOR
A capacitor from the CT pin to GND programs oscillator
frequency, as shown in Figure 2. Frequency is determined
by:
F = 1 / (10k
CT).
The sawtooth wave shape is generated by a charging cur-
rent of 200µA and a discharge current of 1800µA. The
discharge time of the sawtooth is guaranteed dead time
for the output driver. If the maximum duty cycle control is
defeated by connecting DMAX to VREF, the maximum
duty cycle is limited by the oscillator to 90%. If an adjust-
ment is required, an additional trim resistor RT from CT to
ground can be used to adjust the oscillator frequency. RT
should not be less than 40kohms. This will allow up to a
22% decrease in frequency.

INDUCTOR CURRENT WAVEFORM SYNTHESIZER
Average current mode control is a very useful technique
to control the value of any current within a switching con-
verter. Input current, output inductor current, switch
current, diode current or almost any other current can be
controlled. In order to implement average current mode
control, the value of the current must be explicitly known
at all times. To control output inductor current (IL) in a
buck derived isolated converter, switch current provides
inductor current information, but only during the on time of
the switch. During the off time, switch current drops
abruptly to zero, but the inductor current actually dimin-
ishes with a slope dIL/dt =
−Vo/L.
This down slope must
be synthesized in some manner on the primary side to
provide the entire inductor current waveform for the con-
trol circuit.
The patented current waveform synthesizer (Figure 4)
consists of a unidirectional voltage follower which forces
the voltage on capacitor CI to follow the on time switch
current waveform. A programmable discharge current
synthesizes the off time portion of the waveform. ION is
5
the input to the follower. The discharge current is pro-
grammed at IOFF.
The follower has a one volt offset, so that zero current
corresponds to one volt at CI. The best utilization of the
UC3548 is to translate maximum average inductor current
to a 4 volt signal level. Given N and Ns (the turns ratio of
the power and current sense transformers respectively),
proper scaling of IL to V(CI) requires a sense resistor Rs
as calculated from:
Rs = 4V
Ns
N / IL(max).
Restated, the maximum average inductor current will be
limited to:
IL(max) = 4V
Ns
N/Rs.
IOFF and CI need to be chosen so that the ratio of
dV(CI)/dt to dIL/dt is the same during switch off time as
on time. Recommended nominal off current is 100µA.
This requires
CI = (100µA
N
Ns
L) / (Rs
Vo(nom))
where L is the output inductor value and Vo(nom) is the
converter regulated output voltage.
