Control input for the Pulse Width Modulator COMP pull-up is provided by an internal 5K resistor
and Hiccup comparators.
which may be used to bias an opto-coupler transistor.
Input voltage.
Output of a linear bias supply regulator.
Nominally 8.5V.
MOSFET gate driver output.
Input to start-up regulator. The VIN pin is clamped at
36V by an internal zener diode.
VCC provides bias to controller and gate drive sections
of the LM5021. An external capacitor must be connected
from this pin to ground.
High current output to the external MOSFET gate input
with source/sink current capability of 0.3A and 0.7A
respectively.
Current sense input for current mode control and
over-current protection. Current limiting is accomplished
using a dedicated current sense comparator. If the CS
comparator input exceeds 0.5 Volts the OUT pin
switches low for cycle-by-cycle current limit. CS is held
low for 90ns after OUT switches high to blank the
leading edge current spike.
An external resistor connected from RT to GND sets the
oscillator frequency. This pin will also accept
synchronization pulses from an external clock.
An external capacitor and an internal 22 µA current
source set the soft-start ramp. The soft -start capacitor
controls both the soft-start rate and the hiccup mode
period.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device
is intended to be functional. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2:
The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin.
Note 3:
Min and Max limits are 100% production tested at 25˚C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical
Quality Control (SQC) methods. Limits are used to calculate National’s Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 4:
Device thermal limitations may limit usable range.
