KA7500B / KA7500 — DIP-16 PWM Controller IC (TL494 Equivalent)
The KA7500B is Samsung's pin-compatible equivalent of the TL494 PWM controller IC in DIP-16 package. Electrically identical to TL494CN, it features dual error amplifiers, programmable dead-time, and complementary push-pull outputs capable of 200mA. Widely used in ATX power supplies, inverters, and DC-DC converters. This listing provides 5 pieces — new and original.

FAQ
Q: Is KA7500B a direct replacement for TL494CN?
A: Yes. KA7500B is pin-for-pin compatible with TL494CN. Same DIP-16 package, identical pinout, and equivalent electrical specifications. Simply swap the IC without any circuit modification.
Q: How do I set the switching frequency on KA7500B?
A: Same as TL494: connect RT between pin 6 and Vref (pin 14), CT between pin 5 and GND. Frequency ≈ 1.1 / (RT × CT). For 50kHz: RT=22kΩ, CT=1nF.
Q: What is the difference between KA7500 and KA7500B?
A: KA7500B is the improved version with tighter reference voltage tolerance (±1% vs ±2%) and better temperature stability. KA7500B is preferred for new designs and repair.
