Working Principles

The LM3524DN/NOPB operates based on voltage mode control. It compares the feedback voltage (FB) with a reference voltage (VREF) to regulate the output voltage. The error amplifier amplifies the difference between these voltages and adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM signal generated by the oscillator (OSC). This duty cycle controls the switching of the power MOSFET in the power supply circuit, thereby regulating the output voltage.
