Product details
Overview
SG2525AP013TR from STMicroelectronics is a dual-output PWM controller IC designed for switch-mode power supply (SMPS) control in push-pull, half-bridge, and full-bridge topologies. It features a trimmed 5.1 V ±1% reference, 100 Hz–400 kHz oscillator range, adjustable deadtime via external resistor, internal soft-start, and pulse-by-pulse shutdown. Used in industrial DC-DC converters requiring precise duty-cycle control and robust fault handling.
For engineers reviewing the SG2525AP013TR datasheet, SG2525AP013TR pinout, SG2525AP013TR application, or SG2525AP013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include oscillator frequency stability over input voltage (±0.3% to ±1%), latch-enabled PWM shutdown response (<0.5 µs), output drive capability (>200 mA sink/source), and undervoltage lockout with 500 mV hysteresis.
Technical Context
The SG2525AP013TR implements a fixed-frequency, current-mode-capable PWM architecture with an error amplifier whose common-mode input range includes the internal 5.1 V reference-eliminating external level-shifting resistors. Its oscillator supports synchronization via dedicated SYNC pin and allows wide deadtime adjustment using a single resistor between CT and DISCHARGE pins.
It integrates a latching comparator that holds outputs low for the full oscillator period after any shutdown event, preventing multiple pulses per cycle. Output drivers use totem-pole NOR logic (LOW = OFF), delivering >200 mA source/sink into capacitive loads while maintaining fast rise/fall times (100/50 ns typical at 1 nF).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 5.1 V ±1% - enables precision feedback without external trimming resistors |
| Oscillator Range | 100 Hz to 400 kHz - supports wide SMPS operating frequencies with RT/CT programmability |
| Output Drive | 200 mA sink/source - directly drives MOSFET gates or small-signal transformers without buffer stages |
| Shutdown Delay | 0.2–0.5 µs - ensures rapid fault response for overcurrent protection |
| UVLO Threshold | 6–8 V with 500 mV hysteresis - prevents erratic startup during brownout conditions |
| Max Duty Cycle | 45–49% - limits conduction time to prevent transformer saturation in push-pull designs |
| Soft-Start Current | 25–80 µA - sets ramp rate of external timing capacitor for controlled power-up |

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 functional block diagram but ±2% reference tolerance and no internal soft-start current source | Requires external soft-start circuitry; less stable reference demands tighter feedback design | Choose when legacy TI-based designs require drop-in replacement with minimal layout change |
| TL5001CP | Single-ended output, no sync pin, 1% reference, but lacks latch-based shutdown and deadtime control | Only suitable for flyback or forward converters-not push-pull or bridge topologies | Prefer only for cost-sensitive, low-complexity SMPS where dual outputs and synchronization are unnecessary |
Compared with UC3525AN and TL5001CP, SG2525AP013TR delivers superior system-level reliability through integrated soft-start current sourcing, tighter reference accuracy, and deterministic latch-based shutdown-critical for industrial and telecom power where startup stress and fault containment must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable oscillator frequency for SG2525AP013TR?
The maximum guaranteed oscillator frequency is 400 kHz, achieved with RT = 2 kΩ and CT = 470 pF under recommended operating conditions. Frequency accuracy degrades above this point due to propagation delays and timing capacitor leakage effects. Operation beyond 400 kHz is not characterized and may compromise duty-cycle linearity and deadtime control.
Can SG2525AP013TR drive MOSFETs directly without external gate drivers?
Yes-each output can source or sink up to 200 mA continuously (500 mA peak), enabling direct drive of small-to-medium power MOSFETs with gate charges ≤50 nC. For higher-Qg devices or faster switching, external buffers are recommended to maintain rise/fall times below 100 ns.
How does the shutdown function interact with soft-start?
A short pulse on SHDN (Pin 10) immediately latches the PWM off while minimally discharging the soft-start capacitor-allowing quick recovery. A sustained high signal discharges the capacitor fully, forcing a full soft-start cycle upon release. This dual-mode behavior supports both pulse-by-pulse current limiting and full-cycle restart.
Is the SG2525AP013TR pin-compatible with the SG3525A series?
Yes-SG2525AP013TR shares identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and functional behavior with SG3525AP and SG3525AN variants. The "25" prefix denotes the same industrial temperature grade (–25°C to +85°C) and electrical spec bin as the "35" series, differing only in part numbering convention and packaging marking.
