Product details
Overview
E-SG3525AP from STMicroelectronics is a dual-output PWM controller IC designed for regulating switching power supplies in industrial and telecom DC-DC converters. It features a trimmed 5.1 V ±1% reference, 100 Hz–400 kHz oscillator range, adjustable deadtime control via external resistor, internal soft-start, and pulse-by-pulse shutdown. Its totem-pole outputs source/sink >200 mA and operate from 8–35 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the E-SG3525AP datasheet, E-SG3525AP pinout, E-SG3525AP application, or E-SG3525AP equivalent, key selection criteria include oscillator frequency adjustability, undervoltage lockout hysteresis (≈500 mV), NOR-logic output polarity, latch-based PWM safety, and compatibility with push-pull, half-bridge, and forward converter topologies.
Technical Context
The E-SG3525AP integrates a precision error amplifier with rail-to-rail common-mode input range (including the 5.1 V reference), eliminating external bias resistors. Its oscillator supports synchronization via dedicated SYNC pin and allows wide-frequency tuning using RT/CT/RD components with defined discharge timing.
It implements a latch after the PWM comparator to prevent multiple pulses per cycle, resets on each clock edge, and combines shutdown control over both PWM latch and soft-start capacitor discharge - enabling either instantaneous turn-off or controlled recycle based on signal duration at Pin 10.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
E-SG3525AP is packaged in a 16-pin narrow-body plastic DIP (DIP16) with 0.3-inch width and 2.54 mm pitch. Pin 1 is located at the left end of the top row when viewed from above with notch or dot oriented upward.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (INV) | Inverting input of error amplifier | Accepts feedback voltage for closed-loop regulation; referenced to internal 5.1 V |
| Pin 2 (NINV) | Non-inverting input of error amplifier | Connected to internal 5.1 V reference; enables single-resistor feedback configuration |
| Pin 3 (COMP) | Error amplifier output / compensation node | External RC network sets loop stability; also functions as soft-start ramp node |
| Pin 4 (OSC) | Oscillator sync input | Allows master-slave synchronization or external clock injection for noise reduction |
| Pin 5 (CT) | Oscillator timing capacitor connection | Charges/discharges to set oscillator frequency; used with RT and RD for precise timing |
| Pin 6 (RT) | Oscillator timing resistor connection | Sets charging current; combined with CT determines base frequency (f ≈ 1/(CT × 0.7RT)) |
| Pin 7 (DISCH) | Oscillator discharge resistor connection | Controls dead time by adjusting discharge rate; 0–500 Ω range yields practical dead-time adjustment |
| Pin 8 (SS) | Soft-start capacitor connection | External capacitor sets startup ramp time; discharged during shutdown for controlled restart |
| Pin 9 (REF) | 5.1 V reference output | Stable ±1% voltage source for sensor biasing or auxiliary circuitry; max 20 mA load |
| Pin 10 (SHDN) | Active-high shutdown control | Short pulse disables PWM instantly; longer pulse discharges SS cap for soft-restart |
| Pin 11 (OUTA) | Output A driver (NOR logic) | Drives external switch; LOW = active OFF state; 200 mA sink/source capability |
| Pin 12 (GND) | Power ground | Common return for logic, oscillator, and reference circuits |
| Pin 13 (VC) | Collector supply for output drivers | Separate supply for output stage; supports up to 35 V for high-side drive applications |
| Pin 14 (OUTB) | Output B driver (NOR logic) | Complementary to OUTA in push-pull mode; identical drive strength and logic polarity |
| Pin 15 (Vi) | Main supply input | Primary power input for internal circuitry; 8–35 V operation with UVLO protection |
| Pin 16 (VCC) | Logic supply (tied to Vi internally) | Not externally connected; internal connection ensures consistent logic-level referencing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual totem-pole outputs with NOR logic | Ensures predictable LOW-active output state and eliminates need for external inverters in standard configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UC3525AN | Same pinout and functional architecture; ±2% reference tolerance vs. ±1% in E-SG3525AP | Lacks hysteresis in UVLO (typ. 300 mV vs. 500 mV); lower oscillator accuracy (±6% vs. ±2%) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements and thermal stability is less critical |
| TL494CN | Single-ended output architecture; no dedicated SYNC pin; fixed 2.5 V reference | Requires external level-shifting for high-side drive; no built-in soft-start capacitor discharge path | Choose for simpler, lower-cost flyback or single-switch topologies where dual outputs and synchronization are unnecessary |
Compared with UC3525AN and TL494CN, the E-SG3525AP delivers tighter reference accuracy, higher oscillator stability, and integrated soft-start discharge control - making it preferable for high-reliability industrial and telecom SMPS requiring precise timing, robust fault response, and multi-unit synchronization.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 7 (DISCH) in E-SG3525AP?
Pin 7 connects to the oscillator discharge resistor (RD), which controls the discharge time of the CT capacitor and thereby sets the dead time between complementary output pulses. A typical RD value of 10–100 Ω yields 100–500 ns dead time, preventing shoot-through in bridge configurations. The datasheet specifies RD range as 0–500 Ω for full adjustability.
Does E-SG3525AP support synchronous rectification control?
No - E-SG3525AP does not generate dedicated synchronous rectifier drive signals. Its dual outputs are designed for primary-side switching (e.g., push-pull, half-bridge). Synchronous rectification requires separate timing control or external logic, as the IC lacks dedicated SR gate drive outputs or adaptive timing for secondary-side FETs.
Can E-SG3525AP operate with a 5 V supply?
No - the absolute minimum supply voltage is 8 V per datasheet specifications. Operation below 8 V triggers undervoltage lockout, disabling outputs and discharging the soft-start capacitor. Attempting 5 V operation results in non-functional behavior, including no oscillator start-up and zero output drive.
How is the oscillator frequency calculated for E-SG3525AP?
The oscillator frequency is approximated by f = 1 / [CT × (0.7 × RT + 3 × RD)], where CT is in farads, RT in ohms, and RD in ohms. For example, with RT = 3.6 kΩ, CT = 10 nF, and RD = 0 Ω, f ≈ 40 kHz. This formula accounts for both charging (via RT) and discharging (via RD) paths in the oscillator timing network.
