Product details
Overview
SG2525AN from STMicroelectronics is a dual-output PWM controller IC designed for regulating switching power supplies, featuring an internal 5.1 V ±1% reference, oscillator frequency range of 100 Hz to 400 kHz, adjustable dead time via external resistor, and built-in soft-start with shutdown latch. It operates from 8–35 V supply and delivers >200 mA source/sink per output in DIP-16 package.
For engineers reviewing the SG2525AN datasheet, SG2525AN pinout, SG2525AN application, or SG2525AN equivalent, key selection criteria include undervoltage lockout hysteresis (≈500 mV), pulse-by-pulse shutdown capability, NOR-logic output polarity (LOW = OFF), and oscillator sync terminal compatibility with multi-unit synchronization.
Technical Context
The SG2525AN integrates a precision error amplifier with rail-to-rail input common-mode range including the 5.1 V reference, eliminating external bias resistors. Its oscillator uses external RT/CT components with discharge control (RD) for wide-frequency tuning and programmable dead time.
A dedicated shutdown pin (Pin 10) controls both PWM latch reset and soft-start capacitor discharge at 150 µA, enabling either instantaneous turn-off or controlled soft-start recycle. The output stage uses totem-pole drivers with NOR logic, ensuring low-state outputs during disable and supporting peak currents up to 400 mA.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SG3525AN | Same architecture but rated for 0–70 °C ambient; 5.0–5.2 V reference (vs. 5.05–5.15 V for SG2525AN) | Targeted at commercial-grade systems; lacks extended temperature qualification | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs industrial temp requirement and tighter reference tolerance |
| UC3525N | Pin-compatible Texas Instruments variant; identical functional block diagram but different thermal specs (RθJA = 65 °C/W vs. 50 °C/W) | Used in legacy TI-based designs; same oscillator and shutdown behavior | Choose for drop-in replacement where TI sourcing preference or existing BOM alignment applies |
Compared with SG3525AN and UC3525N, the SG2525AN offers tighter reference accuracy (±1% vs. ±2%), wider operating temperature (–25 °C to +85 °C), and lower thermal resistance-making it preferable for industrial power supplies requiring long-term stability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the difference between SG2525AN and SG3525AN?
The SG2525AN is specified for –25 °C to +85 °C operation and features a tighter 5.1 V ±1% reference (5.05–5.15 V), while the SG3525AN is rated for 0–70 °C and has a 5.0–5.2 V reference. Both share identical pinout, oscillator architecture, and functional blocks, but SG2525AN targets industrial environments requiring extended temperature and precision.
Can SG2525AN drive MOSFET gates directly?
Yes-each output delivers >200 mA sink/source capability with fast rise/fall times (100 ns/50 ns into 1 nF), enabling direct drive of small-to-medium power MOSFETs. For high-Ciss devices or high-frequency operation (>200 kHz), a gate driver buffer is recommended to ensure clean switching edges.
How is dead time adjusted on SG2525AN?
Dead time is set by connecting a resistor (RD) between Pin 7 (DISCH) and Pin 6 (CT). Increasing RD lengthens the discharge time of CT, delaying the start of the next oscillator cycle and creating non-overlapping intervals between OUTA and OUTB. Typical RD values range from 0 Ω to 500 Ω for 0.5–5 µs dead time.
Does SG2525AN support synchronous rectification control?
No-SG2525AN generates complementary PWM outputs but lacks dedicated synchronous rectifier control logic (e.g., adaptive timing, VDS sensing, or SR gate delay adjustment). It can be used in synchronous designs only with external timing logic or auxiliary controllers to manage SR FET timing relative to main switches.
