Product Details

LM3524DMX/NOPB - TI Regulating PWM Controller

LM3524DMX/NOPB is an active Texas Instruments voltage-mode PWM controller supplied in a 16-pin SOIC (D) tape-and-reel package. It integrates a 5 V reference, error amplifier, programmable oscillator, pulse-steering logic, current limiting, shutdown control, and two uncommitted output transistors for regulated power-conversion designs.

Part-specific information is based on TI's current orderable-part data and the LM2524D/LM3524D datasheet. Confirm the latest manufacturer revision before design approval.

Overview

The LM3524DMX/NOPB generates fixed-frequency pulse-width-modulated control signals for switching regulators, inverters, and transformer-coupled converters. An external resistor and capacitor set the oscillator frequency. The internal flip-flop steers alternate PWM pulses to the two output stages for push-pull operation, while the outputs can also be combined for single-ended use.

The improved LM3524D architecture adds a precision reference, higher output-current capability, thermal shutdown, external synchronization through pin 3, single-pulse control, and double-pulse suppression. The MX ordering suffix identifies the large tape-and-reel option; /NOPB identifies the lead-free orderable part.

Design note: Verify supply range, oscillator timing, output-transistor configuration, current-limit polarity, compensation network, shutdown behavior, and the exact SOIC-16 footprint before releasing the design.

Key Advantages

Integrated PWM control

Combines the reference, error amplifier, oscillator, comparator, pulse steering, current limit, and shutdown functions required by many regulated converters.

Flexible output stages

Two uncommitted output transistors support push-pull operation or parallel connection for single-ended control.

Improved noise behavior

One-pulse-per-period logic and double-pulse suppression help prevent repeated drive pulses in noisy operating conditions.

External synchronization

The oscillator output at pin 3 can synchronize multiple controllers or accept an appropriate external clock signal.

Feature Summary

5 V reference

The internal reference supplies the controller circuitry and can support external bias functions within the datasheet limits.

Programmable oscillator

External RT and CT components set the free-running oscillator frequency and dead-time behavior.

Current limiting

A differential current-limit amplifier overrides the error-amplifier command when the sense threshold is reached.

Thermal and shutdown control

Thermal shutdown and a dedicated shutdown input provide additional control during abnormal or commanded stop conditions.

Package & Footprint

LM3524DMX/NOPB uses TI's 16-pin SOIC (D) surface-mount package. TI lists the package body at approximately 9.9 mm × 6.0 mm. The MX orderable part is supplied on a large tape-and-reel carrier of 2,500 pieces.

Layout checks
  • Use TI's D-package drawing for pad dimensions and pin-1 orientation.
  • Place local supply bypassing close to VIN and ground.
  • Keep RT, CT, compensation, and current-sense paths away from switching nodes.

The package registry currently marks 16-SOIC.jpg as missing. Add and verify the JPEG before publishing this product page.

Replacement Considerations

Replacement choices fall into different compatibility levels. The following models are present in our product catalog where links are shown. Confirm the exact package, output-current capability, oscillator behavior, temperature range, and lifecycle before substitution.

  • LM3524DM/NOPB — the closest ordering alternative. It uses the same LM3524D controller and 16-pin SOIC (D) package, but ships in tubes of 48 rather than a 2,500-piece reel.
  • SG3524DR — an active TI 16-pin SOIC (D) PWM controller in the standard 3524 architecture. It shares the narrow-body footprint, but its output-current and frequency specifications differ from LM3524D and require circuit validation.
  • SG3524DRE4 — a cataloged SOIC (D) SG3524 ordering option. Treat it as an SG3524-family comparison candidate and confirm current orderability and electrical limits.
  • UC3524ADWTR — an enhanced 3524-family PWM controller with higher output capability, supplied in a wider 16-pin SOIC (DW) package. It requires a different PCB footprint and full electrical review.
  • LM25037 — TI support has identified this as a close functional alternative when a simulation model is required. It is not pin compatible with LM3524D and is suitable only for a redesign.
  • Direct sourcing change: prefer LM3524DM/NOPB when tube packaging is acceptable.
  • Same footprint candidate: compare SG3524DR carefully, especially output drive and oscillator limits.
  • Redesign candidates: UC3524ADWTR and LM25037 require footprint and circuit changes.
  • Validation: repeat startup, current-limit, compensation, duty-cycle, thermal, and fault testing in the actual converter.

A shared pinout or function does not establish complete electrical interchangeability.

Manufacturer Information

Texas Instruments publishes the LM3524D product information, orderable-part status, package data, and application guidance. Use the exact LM3524DMX/NOPB ordering code for procurement because carrier type and environmental suffixes are part-specific.

  • Technical source: TI LM2524D/LM3524D Regulating Pulse Width Modulator datasheet, document SNVS766E.
  • Orderable-part source: TI package addendum and carrier-material information for LM3524DMX/NOPB.
  • Alternative sources: TI SG3524, UC3524A, and LM25037 support information.

FAQ

What is the difference between LM3524DMX/NOPB and LM3524DM/NOPB?
Both use the LM3524D controller in the 16-pin SOIC (D) package. DMX/NOPB is supplied on a 2,500-piece reel, while DM/NOPB is supplied in tubes of 48.
Can SG3524DR directly replace LM3524DMX/NOPB?
The devices use the same package family and related 3524 architecture, but their output-current and oscillator specifications differ. Compare every relevant electrical limit and validate the converter before substitution.
Can the two outputs be used for a single-ended converter?
The uncommitted output stages can be configured for push-pull operation or paralleled for single-ended operation. Follow the datasheet connection guidance and observe output-current and dissipation limits.
Why is the package image not displayed yet?
The shared package registry identifies the normalized package as 16-SOIC, but the corresponding 16-SOIC.jpg file is currently missing. The image must be added and verified before the page is published.
