The timer operates by charging an external capacitor (C
SCP
) connected between the SCP terminal and ground,
towards 2.5 V through a 185-k Ω resistor (R
SCP
). The circuit begins charging from an initial voltage of
approximately 185 mV and times out when the capacitor voltage reaches 1 V. The output of SCP comparator 2
then goes high, turns on Q2, and latches the timer circuit. The expression for setting the SCP time period is
derived from Equation 3 :
V
SCP
= (2.5 – 0.185) (1 – e
– t/ τ
) + 0.185 (3)
Where
τ = R

The end of the time-out period (t
SCP
) occurs when V
SCP
= 1 V. Solving for C
SCP
yields Equation 4 :
C

= 12.46 × t

Where
t is in seconds, C is in µ F

SCP
must be much longer (generally 10 to 15 times) than the converter start-up period, or the converter will not
start.
The output of the TL5001A is an open-collector transistor with a maximum collector current rating of 21 mA and a
voltage rating of 51 V. The output is turned on under the following conditions: the oscillator triangle wave is lower
than both the DTC voltage and the error-amplifier output voltage, the UVLO circuit is inactive, and the
short-circuit protection circuit is inactive.
