Description of each circuit
1.
Oscillator
The oscillator generates a triangular waveform by charging and
discharging the built-in capacitor. A desired oscillation
frequency can be set by the value of the resistor connected to
the RT pin (See Figure 1).
The built-in capacitor voltage oscillates between about 3V and
1V, with almost the same charging and discharging gradients
(Figure 2). You can set the desired oscillation frequency by
changing the gradients using the resistor connected to the RT
pin. (Large R

The relationship between R
T
and the oscillation frequency is
approximately given by:
The oscillator waveform cannot be observed from the outside
because the oscillator output is not pinned out. The oscillator
output is connected to a PWM comparator.
2. PWM comparator
The PWM comparator has four inputs as shown in Figure 3.

has priority and is compared with oscillator output
While the voltage is lower than the oscillator output, the
comparator output is high. While the voltage is higher than the
oscillator output, the PWM comparator output is low (see Figure
4). The IC OUT pin voltage is high while the PWM comparator
output is low. When the IC is powered up, CS pin voltage
controls soft start operation. The output pulse then begins to
widen gradually. During normal operation, the output pulse
width is determined within the maximum duty cycle (FA5510/14:
46%, FA5511/15: 70%) set by DT voltage
