APPLICATION INFORMATION
SUPPLY VOLTAGE

The SG1731 requires a supply voltage for the control circuitry (VS) As a design aid, the solutions to Equation 1 over the
and for the power output drivers (VO). Each supply may be either recommended range of TOSC and VOSC are given in graphic form in
balanced positive and negative with respect to ground, or single- Figure 1. The lower limit on TOSC is 1.85µs, corresponding to a
ended. The only restrictions are: maximum frequency of 350 KHz. The maximum value of VOSC,
(2V∆+) - (2V∆-), is 10V peak-to-peak for linear waveforms.
1. The voltage between +VS and -VS must be at least 7.0V; but
no more than 44V.
2. The voltage between +VO and -VO must be at least 5.0V; but
no more than 44V.
3. +VO must be at least 5V more positive than -VS. This
eliminates the combination of a single-ended positive control
supply with a single-ended negative driver supply.

SUBSTRATE CONNECTION

The substrate connection (Pin 10) must always be connected to

either -VS or -VO, whichever is more negative. The substrate must
also be well bypassed to ground with a high quality capacitor.

the lower threshold causes Output B to switch to the HIGH state.
If ±VS is less than ±8V then ±VT can be obtained with resistors from
±VS. If ±VS is greater than ±8V use zeners.

Threshold crossings are generated by shifting the triangle

waveform up and down with the error voltage (Pin 5). A positive
error voltage will result in a pulse width modulated output at
Driver A (Pin 13). Similarly, a negative error voltage produces a
pulse train at Driver B (Pin 12). Figure 2 illustrates this process
for the case where V∆+ is greater than VT.

It is important to note that the triangle shifting circuit also

attenuates the waveform seen at CT by a factor of 2. This results
in a waveform at the PWM comparators with a positive peak of
V∆+ and a negative peak of V∆-, and must be taken into account
when selecting the values for +VT and -VT.
