Product details
Overview
SG3525AP013TR 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 deadtime control via external resistor, and pulse-by-pulse shutdown capability. It operates from 8–35 V supply and delivers >200 mA source/sink per output in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package.
For engineers reviewing the SG3525AP013TR datasheet, SG3525AP013TR pinout, SG3525AP013TR application, or SG3525AP013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its NOR-logic output stage (LOW = OFF), undervoltage lockout with 500 mV hysteresis, internal soft-start requiring only one external capacitor, and sync terminal for multi-unit synchronization in high-reliability DC-DC converters.
Technical Context
The SG3525AP013TR 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 uses external RT/CT/RD components to set frequency and deadtime independently, supporting stable operation across wide input voltage (8–35 V) and temperature (0–70 °C) ranges.
A latch follows the PWM comparator to prevent multiple pulses per cycle, resetting on each clock edge. The shutdown terminal (Pin 10) controls both PWM latch reset and soft-start capacitor discharge-enabling either instantaneous turn-off or controlled recycle based on signal duration.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UC3525ADW | TI part; same pinout, 5.1 V ref ±2%, oscillator max 400 kHz, no internal sync pull-up | Requires external pull-up on SYNC pin; slightly looser ref tolerance affects precision feedback loops | Preferred where TI ecosystem compatibility or legacy design reuse is required |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable oscillator frequency for SG3525AP013TR?
The maximum oscillator frequency is 400 kHz, achieved with RT = 2 kΩ and CT = 470 pF under recommended operating conditions. This limit is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and validated across temperature (0–70 °C) and supply voltage (8–35 V). Exceeding this frequency may degrade deadtime accuracy and output rise/fall times due to internal propagation delays.
Does SG3525AP013TR support synchronous rectification control?
No, SG3525AP013TR does not provide dedicated synchronous rectification control signals. Its dual NOR-logic outputs are intended for driving external gate drivers in hard-switched topologies like push-pull, half-bridge, or full-bridge. Synchronous rectification requires separate logic or dedicated controllers (e.g., STSR3) to manage low-side FET timing relative to primary-side switching.
How is the soft-start time determined for SG3525AP013TR?
Soft-start time is set by the external capacitor on Pin 8 (SS) and the internal 50 µA (typical) charging current. For example, a 10 µF capacitor yields ~200 ms ramp time (t = C × V / I = 10 µF × 5.1 V / 50 µA). The actual ramp voltage appears at Pin 3 (COMP), modulating PWM duty cycle linearly until the error amplifier reaches equilibrium.
Can SG3525AP013TR operate with a single 5 V supply?
No. The minimum recommended supply voltage is 8 V, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions. Below 8 V, internal reference regulation, oscillator startup, and output driver saturation cannot be guaranteed. Attempting operation at 5 V will result in undefined behavior, including failure to initiate soft-start or generate valid PWM outputs.
