Now let us check this calculator for the SG3525 IC. Here this calculator will estimate the oscillator frequency based on the timing components as given below:
- Rt = timing resistor (Ohms)
- Ct = timing capacitor (Farads or µF)
- Dead Time (optional)

SG3525 Frequency Calculator

SG3525 Oscillator Frequency Formula:
f = 1 / ( (0.7 * Rt + 3 * Rd) * Ct )If you are not using a dead-time resistor (Rd) then simplified formula is:
f = 1 / ( 0.7 * Rt * Ct )In the above calculator the user can:
- Enter
Rtin kΩ - Enter
Ctin nF - (Optional) Enter
Rdin kΩ if needed
Example:
| Rt | Ct | Rd | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 kΩ | 1 nF | (none) | ≈ 142.85 kHz |
| 10 kΩ | 10 nF | (none) | ≈ 14.28 kHz |
| 10 kΩ | 1 nF | 2.2 kΩ | ≈ 92.17 kHz |

hi, good morning. please how can I get a perfect ferrite core transformer winding for 30KHz, 12v inverter. I have been finding it difficult to do so
Good morning, you can try one of these articles to configure it:

the frequency calculated for Sg3525, 100HZ for instance, is it for the two sides or one side of the oscillator alone?
It is for one side….which should be 50Hz/60Hz, not 100Hz.
hi I have SG3525 like to use I’n ignition coil circuit diagram I need to get CT&CR number
Hi, sorry, i did not understand what you meant by CT and CR numbers?
