Detailed Operating Description
The LM5026 PWM controller contains all of the features nec-
essary to implement power converters utilizing the active
clamp reset technique with current mode control. With the
active clamp reset, higher efficiencies and greater power den-
sities can be realized compared to conventional catch winding
or RDC clamp reset techniques. The LM5026 provides two
control outputs, the main power switch control (OUT_A) and
the active clamp switch control (OUT_B). The device can be
configured to drive either a P-Channel or N-Channel clamp
switch. The main switch gate driver features a compound
configuration consisting of both MOS and bipolar devices,
which provide superior gate drive characteristics. The
LM5026 can be configured to operate with bias voltages over
a wide input range from 8V to 100V. Additional features in-
clude programmable maximum duty cycle, line under-voltage
lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup mode fault pro-
tection with adjustable delays, PWM slope compensation,
soft-start, a 1MHz capable oscillator with synchronization In-
put / Output capability, precision reference and thermal shut-
down.
High Voltage Start-Up Regulator
The LM5026 contains an internal high voltage start-up regu-
lator that allows the input pin (VIN) to be connected directly
to a nominal 48V dc line voltage. The regulator output (VCC)
is internally current limited to 20mA. When power is applied
and the UVLO pin potential is greater than 0.4V, the regulator
is enabled and sources current into an external capacitor
connected to the VCC pin. The recommended capacitance
range for the VCC regulator is 0.1µF to 100µF. The VCC reg-
ulator provides power to the internal voltage reference, PWM
controller and gate drivers. The controller outputs are enabled
when the voltage on the VCC pin reaches the regulation point
of 7.6V, the internal voltage reference (REF) reaches its reg-
ulation point of 5V and the UVLO voltage is greater than
1.25V. In typical applications, an auxiliary transformer wind-
ing is connected through a diode to the VCC pin. This winding
must raise the VCC voltage above 8V to shut off the internal
start-up regulator. Powering VCC from an auxiliary winding
improves efficiency while reducing the controller’s power dis-
sipation.
The external VCC capacitor must be sized such that the cur-
rent delivered from the capacitor and the VCC regulator will
maintain a VCC voltage greater than 6.2V during the initial
start-up. During a fault mode when the converter auxiliary
winding is inactive, external current draw on the VCC line
should be limited such that the power dissipated in the start-
up regulator does not exceed the maximum power dissipation
of the IC package. An external start-up or bias regulator can
be used to power the LM5026 instead of the internal start-up
regulator by connecting the VCC and the VIN pins together
and connecting an external bias supply to these two pins.

Line Under-Voltage Detector
The LM5026 contains a dual level Under-Voltage Lockout
(UVLO) circuit. When the UVLO pin voltage is below 0.4V the
controller is in a low current shutdown mode. When the UVLO
pin voltage is greater than 0.4V but less than 1.25V, the con-
troller is in standby mode. In standby mode the VCC and REF
bias regulators are active while the controller outputs are dis-
abled. When the VCC and REF outputs exceed the VCC and
REF under-voltage thresholds and the UVLO pin voltage is
greater than 1.25V, the outputs are enabled and normal op-
eration begins. An external set-point voltage divider from VIN
to GND can be used to set the operational range of the con-
verter. The divider must be designed such that the voltage at
the UVLO pin will be greater than 1.25V when VIN is in the
desired operating range. UVLO hysteresis is accomplished
with an internal 20uA current source that is switched on or off
into the impedance of the set-point divider. When the UVLO
threshold is exceeded, the current source is activated to in-
stantly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin. When the UVLO pin
voltage falls below the 1.25V threshold, the current source is
turned off causing the voltage at the UVLO pin to fall. The
hysteresis of the 0.4V shutdown comparator is fixed at
100mV.
The UVLO pin can also be used to implement various remote
enable / disable functions. Pulling the UVLO pin below the
0.4V threshold totally disables the controller. Pulling the UV-
LO pin to a potential between 1.25 and 0.4V places the
controller in standby with the VCC and REF regulators oper-
ating. Turning off a converter by forcing the UVLO pin to the
standby condition provides a controlled soft-stop. The con-
troller outputs are not directly disabled in standby mode,
rather the soft-start capacitor is discharged with a 50µA sink
current. Discharging the soft-start capacitor gradually re-
duces the PWM duty cycle to zero, providing a slow controlled
discharge of the power converter output filter. This controlled
discharge can help prevent uncontrolled behavior of self-driv-
en synchronous rectifiers during turn-off.
PWM Outputs
The relative phase of the main switch gate driver OUT_A and
active clamp gate driver OUT_B can be configured for multi-
ple applications. For active clamp configurations utilizing a
ground referenced P-Channel clamp switch, the two outputs
should be in phase, with the active clamp output overlapping
the main output. For active clamp configurations utilizing a
high side N-Channel switch, the active clamp output should
be out of phase with main output and there should be a dead
time between the two gate drive pulses. A distinguishing fea-
ture of the LM5026 is the ability to accurately configure either
deadtime (both off) or overlap time (both on) of the gate driver
outputs. The overlap / deadtime magnitude is controlled by
the resistor value (RSET) connected to the TIME pin of the
controller. The opposite end of the resistor can be connected
to either REF for deadtime control or to AGND for overlap
control. The internal configuration detector senses the direc-
tion of current flow in the TIME pin resistor and configures the
phase relationship of the main and active clamp outputs.
