LM5035C Evaluation Board
Introduction
The LM5035C evaluation board is designed to provide the
design engineer with a fully functional power converter based
on the Half Bridge topology to evaluate the LM5035C con-
troller. The LM5035C is a functional variant of the LM5035B
Half-Bridge PWM Controller. The amplitude of the SR control
signals are 5V instead of the V
is provided in an industry standard quarter-brick footprint.
The performance of the evaluation board is as follows:
The printed circuit board consists of 6 layers; 2 ounce copper
outer layers and 3 ounce copper inner layers on FR4 material
with a total thickness of 0.062 inches. The unit is designed for
continuous operation at rated load at <40°C and a minimum
airflow of 200 CFM.
Theory of Operation
Power converters based on the Half Bridge topology offer
high efficiency and good power handling capability in appli-
cations up to 500 Watts. The operation of the transformer
causes the flux to swing in both directions, thereby better uti-
lizing the magnetic core.
The Half Bridge converter is derived from the Buck topology
family, employing separate high voltage (HO) and low voltage

(LO) modulating power switches with independent pulse
width timing. The main difference between the topologies are,
the Half Bridge topology employs a transformer to provide in-
put / output ground isolation and a step down or step up
function.
Each cycle, the main primary switch turns on and applies one-
half the input voltage across the primary winding, which has
8 turns. The transformer secondary has 2 turns, leading to a
4:1 step-down of the input voltage. For an output voltage of
3.3V the composite duty cycle (D) of the primary switches
varies from approximately 75% (low line) to 35% (high line).
The secondary employs synchronous rectification controlled
by the LM5035C. During soft-start, the sync FET body diodes
act as the secondary rectifiers until the main transformer en-
ergizes the gate drivers. The DLY resistor programs the non-
overlap timing for the sync FETs to maximize efficiency while
eliminating shoot through current. The Sync FET control sig-
nals are sent across the isolation boundary using a digital
isolator.
Feedback from the output is processed by an amplifier and
reference, generating an error voltage, which is coupled back
to the primary side control through an optocoupler. The
COMP input to the LM5035C greatly increases the achievable
loop bandwidth. The capacitance effect (and associated pole)
of the optocoupler is reduced by holding the voltage across
the optocoupler constant. The LM5035C voltage mode con-
troller pulse width modulates the error signal with a ramp
signal derived from the line voltage (feedforwarding) to re-
duce the response time to input voltage changes. A standard
“type III” network is used for the compensator.
The evaluation board can be synchronized to an external
clock with a recommended frequency range of 420KHz to
500KHz.
