Instructions for Use

1. Power Supply Connection:

   • Connect the supply voltage (Vcc) to Pin 16.
   • Ground (GND) is connected to Pin 8.

2. Oscillator Configuration:

   • Connect a resistor (Rt) between Pin 6 (RT/CT) and Vcc.
   • Connect a capacitor (Ct) between Pin 6 (RT/CT) and GND.
   • The frequency (f) can be calculated using the formula: ( f = frac{1.1}{Rt times Ct} ).

3. Error Amplifier:

   • Connect the inverting input (Pin 1) to the feedback network.
   • Connect the non-inverting input (Pin 2) to the reference voltage (Vref) which is typically 2.5V.

4. PWM Output:

   • The PWM outputs are available on Pins 11 (OUTA) and 14 (OUTB).
   • These pins can be used to drive external MOSFETs or other power switches.

5. Dead Time Control:

   • Dead time can be adjusted by connecting a resistor (Rd) between Pin 7 (Dead Time) and GND.

6. Soft-Start:

   • To enable soft-start, connect a capacitor (Css) between Pin 9 (Soft-Start) and GND.

7. Shutdown:

   • To put the IC into shutdown mode, pull Pin 10 (Shutdown) low.

8. Thermal Considerations:

   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation to prevent thermal shutdown. Use a heatsink if necessary.

9. Protection:

   • The IC has built-in short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown features to protect against overcurrent and overheating conditions.

10. Layout Considerations:

    • Keep the power supply traces short and wide to minimize inductance and voltage drops.
    • Use bypass capacitors (e.g., 0.1μF and 10μF) close to the Vcc and GND pins to filter out noise.
