Product details
Overview
AZ7500CP-E1 from BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited is a voltage-mode PWM controller IC for switching power supplies, featuring a precision 5.0 V ±1% reference, dual error amplifiers, on-chip oscillator (1–200 kHz), dead-time control comparator, and push-pull or single-ended output selection via OUTPUT CTRL pin. It delivers 200 mA sink/source capability at TR output and supports SMPS, backlight inverters, and battery chargers.
For engineers reviewing the AZ7500CP-E1 datasheet, AZ7500CP-E1 pinout, AZ7500CP-E1 application, or AZ7500CP-E1 equivalent, key selection criteria include reference accuracy (±1%), oscillator frequency range (1–200 kHz), dual-error-amplifier architecture, dead-time control, and SOIC-16 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AZ7500CP-E1 implements voltage-mode PWM control with two independent error amplifiers enabling dual-loop regulation (e.g., voltage + current feedback). Its oscillator supports master/slave operation via RT/CT pins and provides programmable frequency from 1 kHz to 200 kHz with ±1% typical stability over temperature.
Dead-time control prevents shoot-through in push-pull topologies by enforcing minimum off-time between complementary outputs. The OUTPUT CTRL pin selects operating mode: grounded for single-ended/parallel output, tied to VREF for normal push-pull operation - a hardware-configurable feature without external logic.
Key Specifications

| Reference Voltage | 5.0 V ±1% - enables tight output regulation in feedback loops without external trimming. |
| Oscillator Frequency Range | 1–200 kHz - set by external RT/CT; supports wide input voltage ranges and transformer size optimization. |
| Output Drive Capability | 200 mA sink/source at TR pin - directly drives gate drivers or discrete power transistors without buffer stages. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade power supply designs including chargers and inverters. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 7–36 V - accommodates unregulated DC inputs from rectified AC or battery sources. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL494CN | 4.95 V reference (±2%), no integrated dead-time control comparator, fixed 1.25 V internal reference for error amps | Lacks hardware-based dead-time adjustment; requires external circuitry for push-pull safety | Choose TL494CN only if legacy design reuse or cost sensitivity outweighs need for precise dead-time control. |
| UC3845BD1R2G | Current-mode controller, single error amp, 250 kHz max frequency, no dual-output capability | Designed for flyback/forward converters; not suitable for push-pull or dual-loop regulation | Select UC3845BD1R2G for low-cost, single-loop current-mode SMPS where dual outputs or dead-time control are unnecessary. |
Compared with TL494CN and UC3845BD1R2G, the AZ7500CP-E1 uniquely integrates dead-time control, dual error amplifiers, and 5.0 V ±1% reference in SOIC-16 - making it optimal for industrial push-pull SMPS and multi-loop regulated inverters where timing safety and precision feedback are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for AZ7500CP-E1?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) is 40 V, but recommended operating range is 7–36 V per datasheet Section 4. Exceeding 36 V risks violating recommended conditions and may reduce reliability, especially at high ambient temperatures. Operation above 36 V requires derating analysis based on junction temperature limits (TJ ≤ 150°C) and thermal impedance (RθJA = 73°C/W).
Can AZ7500CP-E1 be used in current-mode control topologies?
No - AZ7500CP-E1 is strictly a voltage-mode PWM controller. Its architecture uses an internal sawtooth oscillator ramp compared against error amplifier output, not a current-sense ramp. Current-mode operation would require external slope compensation and is not supported by internal circuitry; use UC384x-series controllers instead for native current-mode designs.
How does OUTPUT CTRL pin selection affect output behavior?
When OUTPUT CTRL (pin 13) is grounded, outputs C1/E1 and C2/E2 operate in single-ended or parallel mode - both transistors switch identically. When tied to REF (5 V), they operate in complementary push-pull mode with dead-time enforced by the DTC comparator. This hardware-selectable mode eliminates software configuration and ensures deterministic timing behavior.
Is the 5 V reference output (pin 12) buffered and load-capable?
Yes - the REF pin delivers up to 10 mA with ±1% accuracy across −40°C to +85°C, as specified in Electrical Characteristics Table (Page 5). It is internally buffered and designed to drive external circuitry such as optocoupler LEDs, ADC references, or bias networks without external amplification.
