APPLICATION INFORMATION
SUPPLY VOLTAGE
The SG1731 requires a supply voltage for the control circuitry (V
S
)
and for the power output drivers (V
). Each supply may be either
balanced positive and negative with respect to ground, or single-
ended. The only restrictions are:
1.The voltage between +V
S
and -V
S
must be at least 7.0V; but
no more than 44V.
2.The voltage between +V
O
and -V
O
must be at least 5.0V; but
no more than 44V.
3.+V
must be at least 5V more positive than -V
. 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 -V
or -V
, whichever is more negative. The substrate must
also be well bypassed to ground with a high quality capacitor.
OSCILLATOR
The triangle oscillator consists of two voltage comparators, a set/
reset flip-flop, a bi-directional 500
μ
A current source, and an
external timing capacitor C
. A positive reference voltage (2V
+
)
applied to Pin 2 determines the positive peak value of the triangle,
and a negative reference voltage (2V
-
) at Pin 7 sets the negative
peak value of the triangle waveform.
Since the value of the internal current source is fixed at a nominal
±500
μ
A, the oscillator period is a function of the selected peak-
to-peak voltage excursion and the value of C
T
. The theoretical
expression for the oscillator period is:
T
OSC
=
(Eq.1)
where C
is the timing capacitor in Farads and dV is V
OSC
in Volts
peak-to-peak.
ERROR AMPLIFIER
The error amplifier of the SG1731 is a conventional internally-
compensated operational amplifier with low output impedance.
All of the usual feedback and frequency compensation
techniques may be use to control the closed-loop gain
characteristics. The control supply voltage ±V
will determine the
input common mode range and output voltage swing; both will
extend to within 3V of the V
S
supply.
PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
Pulse width modulation occurs by comparing the triangle
waveform to a fixed upper (+V
) and lower (-V
) threshold
voltage. A crossing above the upper threshold causes
Output A to switch to the HIGH state, and a crossing below

As a design aid, the solutions to Equation 1 over the
recommended range of T
and V
are given in graphic form in
Figure 1. The lower limit on T
is 1.85

maximum frequency of 350 KHz. The maximum value of V
