Control algorithms in the UCC28740 allow operating efficiencies to meet or exceed applicable standards. The drive output interfaces to a MOSFET power switch. Discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with valley-switching reduces switching losses. Modulation of switching frequency and primary current-peak amplitude (FM and AM) keeps the conversion efficiency high across the entire load and line ranges. The controller has a maximum switching frequency of 100 kHz and always maintains control of the peakprimary current in the transformer. Protection features keep primary and secondary component stresses in check. A minimum switching frequency of 170 Hz facilitates the achievement of less than 10-mW noload power.

I/O DESCRIPTION CS 5 I The current-sense (CS) input connects to a ground-referenced current-sense resistor in series with the power switch. The resulting voltage monitors and controls the peak primary current. A series resistor is added to this pin to compensate for peak switch-current levels as the AC-mains input varies. DRV 6 O Drive (DRV) is an output that drives the gate of an external high-voltage MOSFET switching transistor. FB 3 I The feedback (FB) input receives a current signal from the optocoupler output transistor. An internal current mirror divides the feedback current by 2.5 and applies it to an internal pullup resistor to generate a control voltage, VCL. The voltage at this resistor directly drives the control law function, which determines the switching frequency and the peak amplitude of the switching current . GND 4 — HV 7 I The high-voltage (HV) pin may connect directly, or through a series resistor, to the rectified bulk voltage and provides a charge to the VDD capacitor for the startup of the power supply. VDD 1 I VDD is the bias-supply input pin to the controller. A carefully-placed bypass capacitor to GND is required on this pin. I Voltage sense (VS) is an input used to provide demagnetization timing feedback to the controller to limit frequency, to control constant-current operation, and to provide output-overvoltage detection. VS is also used for AC-mains input-voltage detection for peak primary-current compensation. This pin connects to a voltage divider between an auxiliary winding and GND. The value of the upper resistor of this divider programs the AC-mains run and stop thresholds, and factors into line compensation at the CS pin. VS 2 The ground (GND) pin is both the reference pin for the controller, and the low-side return for the drive output. Special care must be taken to return all AC-decoupling capacitors as close as possible to this pin and avoid any common trace length with analog signal-return paths. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC28740 7 UCC28740 SLUSBF3A – JULY 2013 – REVISED JULY 2013 www.ti.com Detailed Pin Description VDD (Device Bias Voltage Supply) The VDD pin connects to a bypass capacitor-to-ground. The turnon UVLO threshold is 21 V and turnoff UVLO threshold is 7.75 V with an available operating range up to 35 V on VDD. The typical USB-charging specification requires the output current to operate in constant-current mode from 5 V down to at least 2 V which is achieved easily with a nominal VVDD of approximately 25 V. The additional VDD headroom up to 35 V allows for VVDD to rise due to the leakage energy delivered to the VDD capacitor during high-load conditions. GND (Ground) UCC28740 has a single ground reference external to the device for the gate-drive current and analog signal reference. Place the VDD-bypass capacitor close to GND and VDD with short traces to minimize noise on the VS, FB, and CS signal pins. HV (High-Voltage Startup) The HV pin connects directly to the bulk capacitor to provide a startup current to the VDD capacitor. The typical startup current is approximately 250 µA which provides fast charging of the VDD capacitor. The internal HV startup device is active until VVDD exceeds the turnon UVLO threshold of 21 V at which time the HV startup device turns off. In the off state the HV leakage current is very low to minimize standby losses of the controller. When VVDD falls below the 7.75 V UVLO turnoff threshold the HV startup device turns on. VS (Voltage Sense) The VS pin connects to a resistor-divider from the auxiliary winding to ground. The auxiliary voltage waveform is sampled at the end of the transformer secondary-current demagnetization time to provide accurate control of the output current when in constant-current mode. The waveform on the VS pin determines the timing information to achieve valley-switching, and the timing to control the duty-cycle of the transformer secondary current. Avoid placing a filter capacitor on this input which interferes with accurate sensing of this waveform. During the MOSFET on-time, this pin also senses VS current generated through RS1 by the reflected bulkcapacitor voltage to provide for AC-input run and stop thresholds, and to compensate the current-sense threshold across the AC-input range. For the AC-input run/stop function, the run threshold on VS is 225 µA and the stop threshold is 80 µA. At the end of off-time demagnetization, the reflected output voltage is sampled at this pin to provide output overvoltage protection. The values for the auxiliary voltage-divider upper-resistor, RS1, and lower-resistor, RS2, are determined by Equation 1 and Equation 2. where • • • NPA is the transformer primary-to-auxiliary turns-ratio, VIN(run) is the AC RMS voltage to enable turnon of the controller (run), (in case of DC input, leave out the √2 term in the equation), IVSL(run) is the run-threshold for the current pulled out of the VS pin during the switch on-time (see ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS).

The current supplied to FB by the optocoupler is reduced internally by a factor of 2.5 and the resulting current is applied to an internal 480-kΩ resistor to generate the control law voltage (VCL). This VCL directly determines the converter switching frequency and peak primary current required for regulation per the control-law for any given line and load condition. DRV (Gate Drive) The DRV pin connects to the MOSFET gate pin, usually through a series resistor. The gate driver provides a gate-drive signal limited to 14 V. The turnon characteristic of the driver is a 25-mA current source which limits the turnon dv/dt of the MOSFET drain and reduces the leading-edge current spike while still providing a gate-drive current to overcome the Miller plateau. The gate-drive turnoff current is determined by the RDSON of the low-side driver along with any external gate-drive resistance. Adding external gate resistance reduces the MOSFET drain turn-off dv/dt, if necessary. CS (Current Sense) The current-sense pin connects through a series resistor (RLC) to the current-sense resistor (RCS). The maximum current-sense threshold (VCST(max)) is 0.773 V for IPP(max), and the minimum currentsense threshold (VCST(min)) is 0.194 V for IPP(min). RLC provides the feed-forward line compensation to eliminate changes in IPP with input voltage due to the propagation delay of the internal comparator and MOSFET turnoff time. An internal leading-edge blanking time of 235 ns eliminates sensitivity to the MOSFET turnon current spike. Placing a bypass capacitor on the CS pin is unnecessary. The target output current in constant-current (CC) regulation determines the value of RCS. The values of RCS and RLC are calculated using Equation 3 and Equation 4. The term VCCR is the product of the demagnetization constant, 0.425, and VCST(max). VCCRis held to a tighter accuracy than either of its constituent terms. The term ηXFMR accounts for the energy stored in the transformer but not delivered to the secondary. This term includes transformer resistance and core loss, bias power, and primary-to-secondary leakage ratio. Example: With a transformer core and winding loss of 5%, primary-to-secondary leakage inductance of 3.5%, and bias power to output power ratio of 0.5%, the ηXFMR value at full power is approximately: 1 - 0.05 - 0.035 - 0.005 = 0.91.

The device provides accurate constant-current regulation using primary-side feedback. The controller operates in discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) with valley-switching to minimize switching losses. The control law scheme combines frequency with primary peak-current amplitude modulation to provide high conversion efficiency across the load range. The control law provides a wide dynamic operating range of output power which allows the power-supply designer to easily achieve less than 30-mW standby power dissipation using a standard shunt-regulator and optocoupler. For a target of less than 10-mW standby power, careful loss-management design with a low-power regulator and high-CTR optocoupler is required. During low-power operating conditions, the power-management features of the controller reduce the deviceoperating current at switching frequencies below 32 kHz. At and above this frequency, the UCC28740 includes features in the modulator to reduce the EMI peak energy of the fundamental switching frequency and harmonics. A complete low-cost and low component-count charger-solution is realized using a straight-forward design process. Secondary-Side Optically-Coupled Constant-Voltage (CV) Regulation Figure 12 shows a simplified flyback convertor with the main output-regulation blocks of the device shown, along with typical implementation of secondary-side-derived regulation. The power-train operation is the same as any DCM-flyback circuit. A feedback current is optically coupled to the controller from a shunt-regulator sensing the output voltage. Figure 12. Simplified Flyback Convertor (With The Main Voltage Regulation Blocks) In this configuration, a secondary-side shunt-regulator, such as the TL431, generates a current through the input photo-diode of an optocoupler. The photo-transistor delivers a proportional current that is dependent on the current-transfer ratio (CTR) of the optocoupler to the FB input of the UCC28740 controller. This FB current then converts into the VCL by the input-mirror network, detailed in the device block diagram (see Figure 1). Outputvoltage variations convert to FB-current variations. The FB-current variations modify the VCL which dictates the appropriate IPP and fSW necessary to maintain CV regulation. At the same time, the VS input senses the auxiliary winding voltage during the transfer of transformer energy to the secondary output to monitor for an output overvoltage condition. When fSW reaches the target maximum frequency, chosen between 32 kHz and 100 kHz, CC operation is entered and further increases in VCL have no effect. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC28740 13 UCC28740 SLUSBF3A – JULY 2013 – REVISED JULY 2013 www.ti.com Figure 13 shows that as the secondary current decreases to zero, a clearly-defined down slope reflects the decreasing rectifier VF combined with stray resistance voltage-drop (ISRS). To achieve an accurate representation of the secondary output voltage on the auxiliary winding, the discriminator reliably blocks the leakage-inductance reset and ringing while continuously sampling the auxiliary voltage during the down slope after the ringing diminishes. The discriminator then captures the voltage signal at the moment that the secondary-winding current reaches zero. The internal overvoltage threshold on VS is 4.6 V. Temperature compensation of –0.8 mV/°C on the overvoltage threshold offsets the change in the output-rectifier forward voltage with temperature. The resistor divider is selected as outlined in the VS pin description (see Detailed Pin Description). Figure 13. Auxiliary-Winding Voltage The UCC28740 VS-signal sampler includes signal-discrimination methods to ensure an accurate sample of the output voltage from the auxiliary winding. Controlling some details of the auxiliary-winding signal to ensure reliable operation is necessary; specifically, the reset time of the leakage inductance and the duration of any subsequent leakage-inductance ringing. See Figure 14 for a detailed illustration of waveform criteria to ensure a reliable sample on the VS pin. The first detail to examine is the duration of the leakage-inductance reset pedestal, tLK_RESET, in Figure 14. Because tLK_RESET mimics the waveform of the secondary-current decay, followed by a sharp downslope, tLK_RESET is internally blanked for a duration which scales with the peak primary current. Keeping the leakagereset time to less than 600 ns for IPP(min), and less than 2.2 µs for IPP(max) is important. The second detail is the amplitude of ringing on the VAUX waveform following tLK_RESET. The peak-to-peak voltage variation at the VS pin must be less than 100 mVp-p for at least 200 ns before the end of the demagnetization time (tDM). A concern with excessive ringing usually occurs during light or no-load conditions, when tDM is at the minimum. The tolerable ripple on VS is scaled up to the auxiliary-winding voltage by RS1 and RS2, and is equal to 100 mV × (RS1 + RS2) / RS2 . Figure 14. Auxiliary-Winding Waveform Details 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC28740 UCC28740 www.ti.com SLUSBF3A – JULY 2013 – REVISED JULY 2013 During voltage regulation, the controller operates in frequency-modulation mode and amplitude-modulation mode, as shown in Figure 15. The internal operating-frequency limits of the device are 100 kHz and fSW(min). The maximum operating frequency of the converter at full-load is generally chosen to be slightly lower than 100 kHz to allow for tolerances, or significantly lower due to switching-loss considerations. The maximum operating frequency and primary peak current chosen determine the transformer primary inductance of the converter. The shunt-regulator bias power, output preload resistor (if any), and low-power conversion efficiency determine the minimum-operating frequency of the converter. Voltage-loop stability compensation is applied at the shuntregulator which drives the opto-coupled feedback signal. The tolerances chosen for the shunt-regulator reference and the sense resistors determines the regulation accuracy. Figure 15. Frequency And Amplitude Modulation Modes (During CV Regulation) The level of feedback current (IFB) into the FB pin determines the internal VCL which determines the operating point of the controller while in CV mode. When IFB rises above 22 µA, no further decrease in fSW occurs. When the output-load current increases to the point where maximum fSW is reached, control transfers to CC mode. All current, voltage, frequency, breakpoints, and curve-segment linearity depicted in Figure 15 are nominal. Figure 15 indicates the general operation of the controller while in CV mode, although minor variations may occur from part to part. An internal frequency-dithering mechanism is enabled when IFB is less than 14.6 µA to help reduce conducted EMI (including during CC-mode operation), and is disabled otherwise.

In CC mode, output voltage regulation is lost and the shunt-regulator drives the current and voltage at FB to minimum. During CC mode, timing information at the VS pin and current information at the CS pin allow accurate regulation of the average current of the secondary winding. The CV-regulation control law dictates that as load increases approaches CC regulation the primary peak current will be at IPP(max). The primary peak current, turns-ratio, demagnetization time tDM, and switching period tSW determine the secondary average output current (see Figure 16). Ignoring leakage-inductance effects, the average output current is given by Equation 5. When the demagnetization duty-cycle reaches the CC-regulation reference, DMAGCC, in the current-control block, the controller operates in frequency modulation (FM) mode to control the output current for any output voltage at or below the voltage-regulation target as long as the auxiliary winding keeps VVDD above the UVLO turnoff threshold. As the output voltage falls, tDM increases. The controller acts to increase tSW to maintain the ratio of tDM to switching period (tDM / tSW) at a maximum of 0.425 (DMAGCC), thereby maintaining a constant average output current.

The controller operates in valley-switching in all load conditions unless the VDS ringing diminishes to the point where valleys are no longer detectable. As shown in Figure 18, the UCC28740 operates in a valley-skipping mode (also known as valley-hopping) in most load conditions to maintain an accurate voltage or current regulation point and still switch on the lowest available VDS voltage. Figure 18. Valley-Skipping Mode Valley-skipping modulates each switching cycle into discrete period durations. During FM operation, the switching cycles are periods when energy is delivered to the output in fixed packets, where the power-per-cycle varies discretely with the switching period. During operating conditions when the switching period is relatively short, such as at high-load and low-line, the average power delivered per cycle varies significantly based on the number of valleys skipped between cycles. As a consequence, valley-skipping adds additional ripple voltage to the output with a frequency and amplitude dependent upon the loop-response of the shunt-regulator. For a load with an average power level between that of cycles with fewer valleys skipped and cycles with more valleys skipped, the voltage-control loop modulates the FB current according to the loop-bandwidth and toggles between longer and shorter switching periods to match the required average output power. Startup Operation An internal high-voltage startup switch, connected to the bulk-capacitor voltage (VBULK) through the HV pin, charges the VDD capacitor. This startup switch functions similarly to a current source providing typically 250 µA to charge the VDD capacitor. When VVDD reaches the 21-V UVLO turnon threshold the controller is enabled, the converter starts switching, and the startup switch turns off. Often at initial turnon, the output capacitor is in a fully-discharged state. The first three switching-cycle current peaks are limited to IPP(min) to monitor for any initial input or output faults with limited power delivery. After these three cycles, if the sampled voltage at VS is less than 1.33 V, the controller operates in a special startup mode. In this mode, the primary current peak amplitude of each switching cycle is limited to approximately 0.63 × IPP(max) and DMAGCC increases from 0.425 to 0.735. These modifications to IPP(max) and DMAGCC during startup allows high-frequency charge-up of the output capacitor to avoid audible noise while the demagnetization voltage is low. Once the sampled VS voltage exceeds 1.38 V, DMAGCC is restored to 0.425 and the primary current peak resumes as IPP(max). While the output capacitor charges, the converter operates in CC mode to maintain a constant output current until the output voltage enters regulation. Thereafter, the controller responds to the condition dictated by the control law. The time to reach output regulation consists of the time the VDD capacitor charges to 21 V plus the time the output capacitor charges.

The protection functions include: • Output overvoltage • Input undervoltage • Internal overtemperature • Primary overcurrent fault • CS-pin fault • VS-pin fault A UVLO reset and restart sequence applies to all fault-protection events. The output-overvoltage function is determined by the voltage feedback on the VS pin. If the voltage sample of VS exceeds 4.6 V, the device stops switching and the internal current consumption becomes IFAULT which discharges the VDD capacitor to the UVLO-turnoff threshold. After that, the device returns to the start state and a startup sequence ensues. The UCC28740 always operates with cycle-by-cycle primary peak current control. The normal operating voltage range of the CS pin is 0.773 V to 0.194 V. An additional protection, not filtered by leading-edge blanking, occurs if the CS pin voltage reaches 1.5 V, which results in a UVLO reset and restart sequence. Current into the VS pin during the MOSFET on-time determines the line-input run and stop thresholds. While the VS pin clamps close to GND during the MOSFET on-time, the current through RS1 is monitored to determine a sample of VBULK. A wide separation of the run and stop thresholds allows for clean startup and shutdown of the power supply with the line voltage. The run-current threshold is 225 µA and the stop-current threshold is 80 µA. The internal overtemperature-protection threshold is 165°C. If the junction temperature reaches this threshold the device initiates a UVLO-reset cycle. If the temperature is still high at the end of the UVLO cycle, the protection cycle repeats. Protection is included in the event of component failures on the VS pin. If complete loss of feedback information on the VS pin occurs, the controller stops switching and restarts. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC28740 UCC28740 www.ti.com SLUSBF3A – JULY 2013 – REVISED JULY 2013 DESIGN PROCEDURE This procedure outlines the steps to design a constant-voltage, constant-current flyback converter using the UCC28740 controller.

Close attention to detail is necessary to account for all of the sources of leakage, however, in many cases, prototype measurement is the only means to obtain a realistic estimation of total primary and secondary leakage currents. At present, converter standby power is certified by compliance-agency authorities based on steadystate room-temperature operation at the highest nominal input voltage rating (typically 230 Vrms). Equation 6 estimates the standby power loss from the sum of all leakage currents of the primary-side components of the converter. These leakage currents are measured in aggregate by disconnecting the HV input of the controller from the bulk-voltage rail to prevent operating currents from interfering with the leakage measurement. (6) Equation 7 estimates the standby power loss from the sum of all leakage and operating currents of the secondary-side components on the output of the converter. Leakage currents result from reverse voltage applied across the output rectifier and capacitors, while the operating current includes currents required by the shuntregulator, optocoupler, and associated components. (7) Equation 8 estimates the standby power loss from the sum of all leakage and operating currents of the auxiliaryside components on the controller of the converter. Leakage currents of the auxiliary diode and capacitor are usually negligible. The operating current includes the wait-state current, IWAIT, of the UCC28740 controller, plus the optocoupler-output current for the FB network in the steady-state no-load condition. The VDD voltage in the no-load condition VVDDNL are the lowest practicable value to minimize loss. (8) Note that PPRI_SB is the only loss that is not dependent on transformer conversion efficiency. PSEC_SB and PAUX_SB are processed through the transformer and incur additional losses as a consequence. Typically, the transformer no-load conversion efficiency ηSWNL lies in the range of 0.50 to 0.70. Total standby input power (no-load condition) is estimated by Equation 9. (9) Although the UCC28740 is capable of operating at the minimum switching frequency of 170 Hz, a typical converter is likely to require a higher frequency to sustain operation at no-load. An accurate estimate of the noload switching frequency fSWNL entails a thorough accounting of all switching-related energy losses within the converter including parasitic elements of the power-train components. In general, fSWNL is likely to lie within the range of 400 Hz to 800 Hz. A more detailed treatment of standby power and no-load frequency is beyond the scope of this data sheet. Input Bulk Capacitance and Minimum Bulk Voltage Determine the minimum voltage on the input bulk capacitance, CB1 and CB2 total, in order to determine the maximum Np-to-Ns turns-ratio of the transformer. The input power of the converter based on target full-load efficiency, the minimum input RMS voltage, and the minimum AC input frequency determine the input capacitance requirement. Maximum input power is determined based on IOCC, VOCV, VCBC (if used), and the full-load conversion-efficiency target. 22 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC28740 UCC28740 www.ti.com SLUSBF3A – JULY 2013 – REVISED JULY 2013 (10) Equation 11 provides an accurate solution for the total input capacitance based on a target minimum bulkcapacitor voltage. Alternatively, to target a given input capacitance value, iterate the minimum capacitor voltage to achieve the target capacitance value. (11) Transformer Turns-Ratio, Inductance, Primary Peak Current The target maximum switching frequency at full-load, the minimum input-capacitor bulk voltage, and the estimated DCM quasi-resonant time determine the maximum primary-to-secondary turns-ratio of the transformer. Initially determine the maximum-available total duty-cycle of the on-time and secondary conduction time based on the target switching frequency, fMAX, and DCM resonant time. For DCM resonant frequency, assume 500 kHz if an estimate from previous designs is not available. At the transition-mode operation limit of DCM, the interval required from the end of secondary current conduction to the first valley of the VDS voltage is ½ of the DCM resonant period (tR), or 1 µs assuming 500 kHz resonant frequency. The maximum allowable MOSFET on-time DMAX is determined using Equation 12. (12) When DMAX is known, the maximum primary-to-secondary turns-ratio is determined with Equation 13. DMAGCC is defined as the secondary-diode conduction duty-cycle during CC operation and is fixed internally by the UCC28740 at 0.425. The total voltage on the secondary winding must be determined, which is the sum of VOCV, VF, and VOCBC. For the 5-V USB-charger applications, a turns ratio range of 13 to 15 is typically used. (13) A higher turns-ratio generally improves efficiency, but may limit operation at low input voltage. Transformer design iterations are generally necessary to evaluate system-level performance trade-offs. When the optimum turns-ratio NPS is determined from a detailed transformer design, use this ratio for the following parameters. The UCC28740 constant-current regulation is achieved by maintaining DMAGCC at the maximum primary peak current setting. The product of DMAGCC and VCST(max) defines a CC-regulating voltage factor VCCR which is used with NPS to determine the current-sense resistor value necessary to achieve the regulated CC target, IOCC (see Equation 14). Because a small portion of the energy stored in the transformer does not transfer to the output, a transformerefficiency term is included in the RCS equation. This efficiency number includes the core and winding losses, the leakage-inductance ratio, and a bias-power to maximum-output-power ratio. An overall-transformer efficiency of 0.91 is a good estimate based on 3.5% leakage inductance, 5% core & winding loss, and 0.5% bias power, for example. Adjust these estimates as appropriate based on each specific application. V ´ NPS RCS = CCR ´ hXFMR 2IOCC (14) The primary transformer inductance is calculated using the standard energy storage equation for flyback transformers. Primary current, maximum switching frequency, output voltage and current targets, and transformer power losses are included in Equation 16. First, determine the transformer primary peak current using Equation 15. Peak primary current is the maximum current-sense threshold divided by the current-sense resistance.

Additional energy is supplied to VDD from the transformer leakage-inductance which allows a lower turns ratio to be used in many designs. (17) Transformer Parameter Verification Because the selected transformer turns-ratio affects the MOSFET VDS and the secondary and auxiliary rectifier reverse voltages, a review of these voltages is important. In addition, internal timing constraints of the UCC28740 require a minimum on time of the MOSFET (tON) and a minimum demagnetization time (tDM) of the transformer in the high-line minimum-load condition. The selection of fMAX, LP, and RCS affects the minimum tON and tDM. Equation 18 and Equation 19 determine the reverse voltage stresses on the secondary and auxiliary rectifiers. Stray inductance can impress additional voltage spikes upon these stresses and snubbers may be necessary. (18) (19) For the MOSFET VDS peak voltage stress, an estimated leakage inductance voltage spike (VLK) is included. (20) Equation 21 determines if tON(min) exceeds the minimum tON target of 280 ns (maximum tCSLEB). Equation 22 verifies that tDM(min) exceeds the minimum tDM target of 1.2 µs. (21) (22) VS Resistor Divider, Line Compensation The VS divider resistors determine the output overvoltage detection point of the flyback converter. The high-side divider resistor (RS1) determines the input-line voltage at which the controller enables continuous DRV operation. RS1 is determined based on transformer primary-to-auxiliary turns-ratio and desired input voltage operating threshold. (23) The low-side VS pin resistor is then selected based on the desired overvoltage limit, VOV.

Assume an internal delay of 50 ns in the UCC28740. K ´ RS1 ´ RCS ´ tD ´ NPA RLC = LC LP (25) Output Capacitance The output capacitance value is often determined by the transient-response requirement from the no-load condition. For example, in typical low-power USB-charger applications, there is a requirement to maintain a minimum transient VO of 4.1 V with a load-step ITRAN from 0 mA to 500 mA. Yet new higher-performance applications require smaller transient voltage droop VOΔ with ITRAN of much greater amplitude (such as from noload to full-load), which drives the need for high-speed opto-coupled voltage feedback. where • tRESP is the time delay from the moment ITRAN is applied to the moment when IFB falls below 1 µA (26) Additional considerations for the selection of appropriate output capacitors include ripple-current, ESR, and ESL ratings necessary to meet reliability and ripple-voltage requirements. Detailed design criteria for these considerations are beyond the scope of this datasheet. VDD Capacitance, CVDD The capacitance on VDD must supply the primary-side operating current used during startup and between lowfrequency switching pulses. The largest result of three independent calculations denoted in Equation 27, Equation 28, and Equation 29 determines the value of CVDD. At startup, when VVDD(on) is reached, CVDD alone supplies the device operating current and MOSFET gate current until the output of the converter reaches the target minimum-operating voltage in CC regulation, VOCC. Now the auxiliary winding sustains VDD for the UCC28740 above UVLO. The total output current available to the load and to charge the output capacitors is the CC-regulation target, IOCC. Equation 27 assumes that all of the output current of the converter is available to charge the output capacitance until VOCC is achieved. For typical applications, Equation 27 includes an estimated qGfSW(max) of average gate-drive current and a 1-V margin added to VVDD. (27) During a worst-case un-load transient event from full-load to no-load, COUT overcharges above the normal regulation level for a duration of tOV, until the output shunt-regulator loading is able to drain VOUT back to regulation. During tOV, the voltage feedback loop and optocoupler are saturated, driving maximum IFB and temporarily switching at fSW(min). The auxiliary bias current expended during this situation exceeds that normally required during the steady-state no-load condition. Equation 28 calculates the value of CVDD (with a safety factor of 2) required to ride through the tOV duration until steady-state no-load operation is achieved. (28) Finally, in the steady-state no-load operating condition, total no-load auxiliary-bias current, IAUXNL is provided by the converter switching at a no-load frequency, fSWNL, which is generally higher than fSW(min). CVDD is calculated to maintain a target VDD ripple voltage lower than ΔVVDD, using Equation 29.

Optically-coupled secondary-side regulation is used to provide the rapid response needed when a heavy load step occurs during the no-load condition. One of the most commonly used devices to drive the optocoupler is the TL431 shunt-regulator, due to its simplicity, regulation performance, and low cost. This device requires a minimum bias current of 1 mA to maintain regulation accuracy. Together with the UCC28740 primary-side controller, careful biasing will ensure less than 30 mW of standby power loss at room temperature. Where a more stringent standby loss limit of less than 10 mW is required, the TLV431 device is recommended due to its minimum 80-µA bias capability. Facilitating these low standby-power targets is the approximate 23-µA range of the FB input for full to no-load voltage regulation. The control-law profile graph (see Figure 15) shows that for FB-input current greater than 22 µA, no further reduction in switching frequency is possible. Therefore, minimum power is converted at fSW(min). However, the typical minimum steady-state operating frequency tends to be in the range of several-hundred Hertz, and consequently the maximum steady-state FB current at no-load will be less than IFBMAX. Even so, prudent design practice dictates that IFBMAX should be used for conservative steady-state biasing calculations. At this current level, VFBMAX can be expected at the FB input. Referring to the Design Procedure Application Example in Figure 19, the main purpose of RFB4 is to speed up the turnoff time of the optocoupler in the case of a heavy load-step transient condition. The value of RFB4 is determined empirically due to the variable nature of the specific optocoupler chosen for the design, but tends to fall within the range of 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ. A tradeoff must be made between a lower value for faster transient response and a higher value for lower standby power. RFB4 also serves to set a minimum bias current for the optocoupler and to drain dark current. It is important to understand the distinction between steady-state no-load bias currents and voltages which affect standby power, and the varying extremes of these same currents and voltages which affect regulation during transient conditions. Design targets for minimum standby loss and maximum transient response often result in conflicting requirements for component values. Trade-offs, such as for RFB4 as discussed previously, must be made. During standby operation, the total auxiliary current (used in Equation 8) is the sum of IWAIT into the IC and the no-load optocoupler-output current ICENL. This optocoupler current is given by Equation 30. (30) For fast response, the optocoupler-output transistor is biased to minimize the variation of VCE between full-load and no-load operation. Connecting the emitter directly to the FB input of the UCC28740 is possible, however, an unload-step response may unavoidably drive the optocoupler into saturation which will overload the FB input with full VDD applied. A series-resistor RFB3 is necessary to limit the current into FB and to avoid excess draining of CVDD during this type of transient situation. The value of RFB3 is chosen to limit the excess IFB and RFB4 current to an acceptable level when the optocoupler is saturated. Like RFB4, the RFB3 value is also chosen empirically during prototype evaluation to optimize performance based on the conditions present during that situation. A starting value may be estimated using Equation 31. (31) Note that RFB3 is estimated based on the expected no-load VDD voltage, but full-load VDD voltage will be higher resulting in initially higher ICE current during the unload-step transient condition. Because RFB3 is interposed between VE and the FB input, the optocoupler transistor VCE varies considerably more as ICE varies and transient response time is reduced. Capacitor CFB3 across RFB3 helps to improve the transient response again. The value of CFB3 is estimated initially by equating the RFB3CFB3 time constant to 1 ms, and later is adjusted higher or lower for optimal performance during prototype evaluation. 26 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC28740 UCC28740 www.ti.com SLUSBF3A – JULY 2013 – REVISED JULY 2013 The optocoupler transistor-output current ICE is proportional to the optocoupler diode input current by its current transfer ratio, CTR. Although many optocouplers are rated with nominal CTR between 50% and 600%, or are ranked into narrower ranges, the actual CTR obtained at the low currents used with the UCC28740 falls around 5% to 15%. At full-load regulation, when IFB is near zero, VFB is still approximately 0.4 V and this sets a minimum steady-state current for ICE through RFB4. After choosing an optocoupler, the designer must characterize its CTR over the range of low output currents expected in this application, because optocoupler data sheets rarely include such information. The actual CTR obtained is required to determine the diode input current range at the secondary-side shunt-regulator. Referring again to Figure 19, the shunt-regulator (typically a TL431) current must be at least 1 mA even when almost no optocoupler diode current flows. Since even a near-zero diode current establishes a forward voltage, ROPT is selected to provide the minimum 1-mA regulator bias current. The optocoupler input diode must be characterized by the designer to obtain the actual forward voltage versus forward current at the low currents expected. At the full-load condition of the converter, IFB is around 0.5 µA, ICE may be around (0.4 V / RFB4), and CTR at this level is about 10%, so the diode current typically falls in the range of 25 µA to 100 µA. Typical optodiode forward voltage at this level is about 0.97 V which is applied across ROPT. If ROPT is set equal to 1 kΩ, this provides 970 µA plus the diode current for IOPT. As output load decreases, the voltage across the shunt-regulator also decreases to increase the current through the optocoupler diode. This increases the diode forward voltage across ROPT. CTR at no-load (when ICE is higher) is generally a few percent higher than CTR at full-load (when ICE is lower). At steady-state no-load condition, the shunt-regulator current is maximized and can be estimated by Equation 30 and Equation 32. IOPTNL, plus the sum of the leakage currents of all the components on the output of the converter, constitute the total current required for use in Equation 7 to estimate secondary-side standby loss. (32) The shunt-regulator voltage can decrease to a minimum, saturated level of about 2 V. To prevent excessive diode current, a series resistor, RTL, is added to limit IOPT to the maximum value necessary for regulation. Equation 33 provides an estimated initial value for RTL, which may be adjusted for optimal limiting later during the prototype evaluation process. (33) The output-voltage sense-network resistors RFB1 and RFB2 are calculated in the usual manner based on the shunt-regulator reference voltage and input bias current. Having characterized the optocoupler at low currents and determined the initial values of RFB1, RFB2, RFB3, RFB4, CFB3, ROPT and RTL using the above procedure, the DC-bias states of the feedback network can be established for steady-state full-load and no-load conditions. Adjustments of these initial values may be necessary to accommodate variations of the UCC28740, optocoupler, and shunt-regulator parameters for optimal overall performance. The shunt-regulator compensation network, ZFB, is determined using well-established design techniques for control-loop stability. Typically, a type-II compensation network is used. The compensation design procedure is beyond the scope of this datasheet.

(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details. TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined. Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above. Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material) (3) MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature. (4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device. (5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
