When the voltage at the VDD pin is lower than 4.1 V (typical), the controller is in stand-by mode and consumes 150 µA (typical) at 3.6 V VDD. In stand-by mode, VREF continues to be regulated to 3.3 V or follows VDD if VDD is lower than 3.3 V. Please refer to the VREF description for more detailed information. A minimum 1-µF bypass capacitor is required from VDD to ground. Keep the bypass capacitor as close to the device as possible. VREF (Reference Generator) (20/7) The VREF pin is regulated at 3.3 V. An external ceramic capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the VREF and GND pins for noise filtering and to provide compensation to the regulator. The capacitance range must be limited between 0.5 µF to 2 µF for stability. This reference is used to power the controller’s internal circuits, and can also be used to bias an opto-coupler transistor, an external house-keeping microcontroller, or other peripheral circuits. This reference can also be used to generate the reference for an external error amplifier. This regulator output is internally current limited to 25 mA (typical). EN (Enable Pin) (18/5) The following conditions must be met before the controller allows start up: 1. VDD voltage is above the rising UVLO threshold 4.3 V (typical); 2. The 3.3-V reference voltage output at the VREF pin is available and above 2.4 V (typical); 3. Junction temperature is below the thermal shutdown threshold 130°C (minimum); 4. The voltage at OVP is below 0.7 V (typical). If all these conditions are met, the signal driving the EN pin is able to initiate the soft start process. Once the device is enabled, the 27-µA internal charging current at the SS pin is turned on and begins to charge the soft-start capacitor. The EN pin can accept both level-enable and pulse-enable signals. For level-enable, the voltage level on the EN pin needs to be continuously higher than 2.25 V to allow continuous operation. Once the EN pin falls below 2.25 V, the device is disabled (see Figure 3). UVLO EN SS 0.3V CLK Figure 3. Level Enable at EN pin Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): UCC28250 11 UCC28250 SLUSA29C – APRIL 2010 – REVISED JULY 2011 www.ti.com A pulse signal may also be applied to the EN pin. Pulse-enable operation is shown on Figure 4. If the EN falling edge happens before the SS voltage reaches 0.3 V, the enable signal at EN pin is considered as a pulse. In this case, the next rising edge at EN pin disables the controller. If the falling edge of the first pulse at EN pin happens after SS rises to 0.3 V, the UCC28250 interprets the pulse enable as a level enable, and an external solution as shown on Figure 5 (a) can be used to reduce the pulse width. In this circuit, R2 is used to limit the current (especially the negative current) through the internal ESD cell. Figure 5 (b) illustrates the waveforms based on this solution. To prevent false trigger by noises, the pulse at the EN pin must be at least 2.25 V (minimum) high and 3 µs wide to be considered valid. Choose the R1, R2, and C values based on the following equations: Choose R2 based on the current limit requirement from the device. R2 > 10kW (1) Choose R1 arbitrarily but much smaller than R2 and choose C1 according to the time constant requirement to generate longer than 3-µs pulse. C1 = 6 ms R1 (2) If enable function is not used, pull EN pin to VREF. UVLO EN SS 0.3V CLK Figure 4. Pulse Enable at EN Pin (a) (b) UCC28250 Enable Signal C1 R2 EN Enable Signal R1 EN Figure 5.

Switching frequency selection is a trade-off between efficiency and component size. Based on the selected switching frequency, the programming resistor value can be calculated as: 1 - Td(SP ) 2 ´ fSW RT = 33.2pF (3) In this equation, fSW is the switching frequency and TD(sp) is the dead time between synchronous rectifier turn-off to primary switch turn-on. TD(sp) is set by an external resistor between the SP pin and ground (refer to the SP pin description). Each output (OUTA, OUTB, SRA, SRB) switches at half the oscillator frequency (fSW = ½ x fOSC). Figure 6 shows the relationship between RT and fOSC at certain TD(sp) and can be used to program oscillator frequency accordingly.

Oscillator Frequency FOSC vs External Resistance of RT at TD(ps) = 40 ns and 100 ns The UCC28250 can be synchronized to an external clock by applying an external clock source to the RT pin. Synchronization helps with parallel operation and/or preventing beat frequency noise. The UCC28250 synchronizes its internal oscillator to an external frequency source ranging from 170 kHz to 2.3 MHz, which is equivalent to an 85-kHz to 1.15-MHz switching frequency. The internal oscillator frequency is clamped to 170 kHz during synchronization if the external source frequency drops below 170 kHz. The UCC28250 aligns the turn-on of primary outputs OUTA and OUTB to the falling edge of the synchronizing signal, as shown in Figure 7. If the frequency source is from the gate outputs of another half bridge controller, interleaving can be achieved. The interleaving angle is determined by the frequency source’s duty cycle. When a 50% duty cycle is applied, optimal interleaving is achieved, and EMI filters can be minimized.

RAMP/CS is a multi-function pin used either to generate the ramp signal for voltage mode control or to sense current for current mode control.The following sections describe the RAMP/CS functionality for voltage mode and current mode control. RAMP: Voltage Mode Control with Feed-Forward Operation For voltage mode control, a resistor RCS and a capacitor CCS must be connected to the RAMP/CS pin as shown in Figure 11. The internal pull-down switch has approximately 40-Ω on-resistance. The RAMP/CS pin is clamped internally to 4 V for internal device protection. The CCS value must be small enough to discharge the RAMP/CS pin from its peak voltage to ground within the pulse width of the BLANK signal (TD(sp) + 70 ns). The following formula derives a CCS value. æ 4 V / 2 ö Td(SP) + 70ns CCS < ç ÷´ 4V è 40 W ø (4) A CCS value less than 650 pF works for most applications. In order to minimize the impacts of parasitic capacitance caused by the PCB layout and routing, a minimum of 100 pF is recommended for CCS. Once CCS is determined, RCS can be calculated according to the desired ramp peak amplitude. RCS = 1 æ VCHARGE 2 ´ ln ç è VCHARGE - VPK ö ÷ ´ CCS ´ fSW ø (5) In this equation, the VCHARGE is the voltage used to generate the ramp, VPK is the desired ramp amplitude and the fSW is the switching frequency. Choose the ramp amplitude to accommodate the voltage range of the COMP pin and the maximum duty cycle required by the power stage. Use the following equation to select VPK, in the equation, DMAX is the maximum duty cycle for primary outputs. VPK = 1.4 V DMAX (6) UCC28250 UCC28250 VIN 36 V to 75 V VREF RCS RCS RAMP/CS CCS GND RAMP/CS BLANK CCS GND BLANK Figure 11. Fixed Ramp Generation/Ramp Generation With Input Voltage Feedforward Voltage feed-forward can be achieved by driving RCS from line input VIN. The peak of RAMP/CS is proportional to VIN and output has have much faster line transient response. When the UCC28250 is used for the primary-side control, RAMP parameters are critical for the optimal pre-biased start up performance. Refer to the ‘Voltage Mode Control and Input Voltage Feed-Forward’ section of the Functional Description section for a detailed design procedure of choosing RCS. If the line input cannot be easily accessed due to limited board area or other limitation, a RAMP signal with fixed peak voltage can be implemented by simply driving RCS from 3.3 V VREF (Figure 11).

The current signal has to have compatible input range of the COMP pin. As shown in Figure 12, the COMP pin voltage is used as the reference for peak current. The primary-side signals OUTA and OUTB are turned on by the internal clock signal and turned off when sensed peak current reaches the COMP pin voltage. Choose the current sense transformer turns ratio (1:n) and the burden resistor value (RB) based on the peak current at maximum load IMAX.

When the UCC28250 is configured for secondary-side control, connect the output voltage sensing divider to this pin. The voltage divider can be selected according to the voltage on REF/EA+ pin. Referring to Figure 13, pick the lower resistor RO1 value arbitrarily, and choose the upper resistor RO2 value as: æ VO ö RO2 = ç - 1÷ ´ RO1 è VREF / EA + ø (8) Because the control loop gain is affected by voltage divider resistor values, choose an appropriate RO1 value so that the voltage loop DC gain is larger than 40 dB to prevent interference between the primary-side control loop and the SR control loop during start up. When the UCC28250 is sitting on the primary side, the error amplifier is connected as a voltage follower. Connect FB/EA- directly with COMP pin. The maximum voltage allowed on FB/EA- pin is 3.7 V. COMP (3/10) The COMP pin is the internal error amplifier’s output. The voltage range of COMP pin is 0 V to 3 V. Both the primary-side switches’ duty cycle and secondary-side SRs’ duty cycle is controlled by the COMP pin voltage. At steady state, a higher COMP pin voltage results in a larger duty cycle for the primary-side switches and a smaller duty cycle on the SRs. When the UCC28250 controller is set up for secondary-side control, connect the compensation network from the FB/EA- pin to the COMP pin. For primary-side control, the error amplifier is connected as a voltage follower. Directly connect the COMP pin to the FB/EA- pin. VSENSE (14/1) The VSENSE pin is used to directly sense the output voltage and to feed it into a transconductance error amplifier. The measured voltage allows the UCC28250 to achieve optimal pre-biased start up performance. When configured as a secondary-side controller, the output voltage is sensed and fed into the FB/EA- pin. The UCC28250 uses a conventional error amplifier approach to allow type III compensation. Therefore, the FB/EApin voltage always follows the REF/EA+ voltage. The FB/EA- pin does not reflect the true output voltage and therefore this dedicated VSENSE pin is required. The voltage divider connected to VSENSE is discussed in the Pre-Biased Start-Up Section. When UCC28250 is set up as primary-side control, connect VSENSE pin to VREF.

This reduces start-up stresses and current surge. When the UCC28250 reaches its valid operating threshold, the SS pin capacitor is charged with a 27-µA current source. The UCC28250’s internal error amplifier non-inverting terminal follows the SS pin voltage on REF/EA+ pin voltage depending on which one is lower. Hence, during soft start, the SS pin voltage is lower than REF/EA+. The internal error amplifier then uses the SS pin as its reference voltage, until the SS pin voltage rises above the REF/EA+ level. Once the SS pin voltage is above REF/EA+ voltage, soft-start time is considered finished. The soft-start implementation scheme and timing is different, depending on the location of the UCC28250 with respect to the isolation barrier. For secondary-side control, the internal error amplifier is used to achieve the voltage regulation. The REF/EA+ is connected to an external reference voltage, FB/EA- is connected to the voltage sensing divider, and the error amplifier’s output pin (COMP) is connected through a compensation filter back to the FB/EA- pin (Figure 13). In this case, the primary output’s start-up is a closed loop soft start (soft-start input reference of error amplifier). The output soft-start time is determined by the external capacitor connected at SS pin based on the internal 27-µA charging current and the voltage set at REF/EA+ pin.

In other words, the COMP pin is shorted to the FB/EA- pin, and the output of an external error amplifier is connected to the REF/EA+ pin through an optical coupler (Figure 14). In this case, the output start-up is an open loop soft start because the COMP follows the soft-start voltage instead of the voltage loop output. The soft-start time is still determined by external capacitor CSS and the 27-µA internal charge current. The voltage depends on the value of final COMP voltage which corresponds to the regulated primary output duty cycle. According to the desired soft start time and COMP pin voltage level at steady state, the SS pin capacitor can be calculated as: CSS = 27 mA ´ TSS VCOMP _ final (10) After soft start, the voltage at SS pin is eventually clamped at around 4 V. Under fault conditions (UVLO, internal thermal shut down, OVP/OTP, hiccup mode), or when externally disabled, SS pin is pulled down to ground quickly by an internal switch with 2 kΩ on resistance to prepare for re-start. Pulling SS pin to ground externally shuts down the controller as well. VOUT UCC28250 RO2 CP1 VSENSE RZ3 CZ2 RZ2 VREF COMP CZ3 + FB/EA- REF/EA+ RO1 + + SS External Reference CSS Figure 14.

The input to the ILIM pin represents the primary current information. If the voltage sensed at ILIM pin exceeds 0.5 V, the current sense comparator terminates the pulse of output OUTA or OUTB. If the high current condition persists, the controller operates in a cycle-by-cycle current limit mode with duty cycle determined by the current sense comparator instead of the PWM comparator. ILIM pin is pulled down by an internal switch at the rising edge of every clock cycle. This internal switch remains on for an additional 70 ns after OUTA or OUTB goes high to blank leading edge transient noise in the current sensing loop. This reduces the filtering requirements at the ILIM pin and improves the current sense response time. Transformer Primary Side Current UCC28250 ILIM CT RS HICC CS 1:n CHICC Figure 15.

If the voltage on the OVP/OTP pin exceeds 0.7 V, a fault shutdown occurs. All outputs stop switching and stay off (low) during the shutdown, and the SS pin is pulled to ground internally. Once the fault condition is cleared (i.e. OVP/OTP voltage drops below 0.7 V), the UCC28250 enters hiccup mode. A soft-start cycle begins after the hiccup cycle is finished. An internal 11-µA switched current source is used to create hysteresis. If the external resistor divider runs from line voltage VIN, a line over voltage protection is implemented. If the external resistor divider runs from the output voltage, output over voltage fault protection is achieved. Figure 17 shows the over-voltage protection external configuration at the OVP/OTP pin. According to the protection threshold VR and recovery threshold VF, choose an arbitrary R2 value. To ensure a realistic solution, R2 needs to meet the following: R2 < 0.7 V ´ (VR - VF ) 11mA ´ (VR - 0.7 V ) (16) The other two resistors, R1 and R3 can be calculated. R1 = R3 = VR - 0.7 V ´ R2 0.7 V 0.7 V ´ (VR - VF ) - 11mA ´ R2 ´ (VR - 0.7 V ) (17) 11mA ´ VR (18) If the external resistor divider runs from 3.3-V VREF, and replaces R2 with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor, an over temperature fault protection with programmable hysteresis is accomplished (Figure 18). Choose an arbitrary PTC value, which has a resistance as RPTC1 at protection temperature and resistance as RPTC2 at recovery temperature. Because of its positive temperature coefficient, RPTC1 is larger than RPTC2.

A dedicated internal pre-biased start up control loop working in conjunction with a primary-side voltage loop achieves monotonic pre-biased start up for either primary-side or secondary-side control applications. The UCC28250 architecture allows either voltage mode or current mode control. Input voltage feedforward can be implemented, allowing PWM ramp generator to improve the converter line transient response. Advanced cycle-by-cycle current limit achieves volt-second balancing even during fault conditions. The hiccup timer helps the system to stay within a safe operation range under over load conditions. With a multifunction OVP/OTP pin, combinations of input voltage protection, output voltage protection and over temperature protection can be implemented. The UCC28250 allows individual programming of dead time between primary-side switch and secondary-side SRs, in order to allow optimal power stage design. Dead time can also be reduced to zero, and this allows optimal system configuration considering the delays on the gate driver stage. The UCC28250 also provides complete system level protection functions, including UVLO, thermal shut down and over voltage, over current protection. Error Amplifier and PWM Generation The UCC28250 includes a high performance internal error amplifier with low input offset, high source/sink current capability and high gain bandwidth (typical 3.5 MHz). The reference of the error amplifier (REF/EA+ pin) is set externally to support flexible trimming of the voltage loop, and to make the controller flexible for both primary side, as well as secondary-side control. The extra positive input for the error amplifier is the SS pin which is used to externally program the soft-start time of the converter’s output. During steady state operation, the primary switch duty cycle, D, is generated based on the external ramp on RAMP/CS pin and the COMP pin voltage. A higher COMP pin voltage results in a larger duty cycle. The secondary-side SR duty cycle is SR_D = (1-D), complementary to the primary-side duty cycle, without considering the dead time between primary-side switch and secondary-side SR. The primary outputs begin to switch when COMP pin voltage is above the 350 mV internal offset. The synchronous rectifier outputs only switch after COMP pin voltage is above 550 mV internal offset. According to the internal logic, the minimum pulse width for the primary-side OUTA and OUTB is typically 100 ns. During soft start, the primary-side switch duty cycle is generated based on the external ramp on RAMP/CS pin and the COMP pin voltage. However, the duty cycle of secondary-side SR is generated based on an internal ramp and the COMP pin voltage. When the converter is controlled on the primary side, an internal ramp is a fixed ramp with 3-V peak voltage. When the converter is controlled on secondary side, an internal ramp is generated based on the internal pre-biased start-up loop. An internal pre-biased start-up loop modifies the SR duty cycle during soft start to achieve the optimal pre-biased start-up performance. After the SS pin reaches 2.9 V, the pre-biased start-up control loop is disabled. The secondary-side SR instantaneously changes into its steady state value as complementary to the primary-side duty cycle.

For different control methods, the controller is configured accordingly and so is the pre-biased start-up control. During soft start, both the primary-side switches’ duty cycle and secondary-side SRs’ duty cycle are increased. This gradually increases the output voltage until steady state operation is reached, thereby reducing surge current. Secondary-Side Control For secondary-side control, the UCC28250 implements close-loop control of both the primary-side switches and secondary-side synchronous rectifiers’ duty cycles. This makes it easy to achieve optimal start up performance. The internal error amplifier is set up as the control loop error amplifier. Connect REF/EA+, FB/EA-, COMP and VSENSE as shown in Figure 40. To achieve optimal pre-biased start up performance, the output voltage needs to be directly measured. The UCC28250 uses the VSENSE pin to directly sense this output voltage. Choose the voltage dividers on VSENSE slightly different to the FB/EA- voltage divider so that the voltage on VSENSE pin is roughly 10% to 15% more than FB/EA- pin voltages. Select RO1 equal to RS1, and RS2 about 10% to 15% smaller than RO2. VOUT UCC28250 VSENSE CP1 RO2 VREF RZ3 RS2 RZ2 CZ2 COMP CZ3 FB/EA- REF/EA+ RS1 RO1 + + SS CSS Figure 40. Error Amplifier Set Up for Secondary-Side Control The error amplifier uses the lower voltage between the SS pin and the REF/EA+ pin to be the reference voltage for the feedback loop. In this method, the control loop is said to be ‘closed’ during the entire start up process, as it is always based on the true output voltage. During soft start, the primary-side switch duty cycle is controlled by the COMP pin voltage and ramp voltage generated on the RAMP/CS pin. A higher COMP pin voltage results in larger duty cycle. However, to improve start up performance, the secondary-side synchronous rectifier duty cycle is controlled by a separate, internal ramp signal (generated by a dedicated pre-biased start up loop) and by the COMP pin voltage. This dedicated pre-biased loop is much faster than the regular voltage loop in order to avoid interaction between the two loops. The start up loop reads the output voltage via a transconductance error amplifier connected to the VSENSE pin. When the output voltage is higher than the reference, the pre-biased start up loop increases the SR duty cycle to reduce the output voltage. Conversely, when the output voltage is lower than the reference, the SR duty cycle is decreased to help maintain higher output voltage. To speed up the start up time, the minimum duty cycle of the synchronous rectifier is 50%. Once the soft start is finished, the pre-biased loop is disabled and the duty cycle of the synchronous rectifiers becomes the complimentary of primary switches’ duty cycle, with some dead time inserted in between. 32 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): UCC28250 UCC28250 SLUSA29C – APRIL 2010 – REVISED JULY 2011 www.ti.com Primary-Side Control When the UCC28250 is sitting on the primary side, the internal error amplifier is connected as a voltage follower and an extra error amplifier is needed on the secondary side for closed loop control. The error amplifier implementation is shown in Figure 41. VOUT UCC28250 RO2 CP1 VSENSE RZ3 CZ2 RZ2 VREF COMP CZ3 + FB/EA- REF/EA+ RO1 + + SS External Reference CSS Figure 41. Error Amplifier Setup for Primary-Side Control In the above configuration, the UCC28250 can only see the control loop feedback voltage, and cannot directly access the output voltage. The design of the soft-start time is critical to achieve optimal pre-biased start up performance. Some trial and error approaches are needed to achieve optimal performance. It is also important to choose the appropriate ramp amplitude. Refer to the ramp section discussion on the detailed design procedure for choosing ramp generation components. During soft start, regardless of the pre-biased condition, the output voltage is always lower than the regulation voltage, so that the feedback loop is always saturated. When the internal error amplifier is connected as a voltage follower, the COMP voltage follows the lower of the voltage on the RER/EA+ pin and the SS pin. Since the feedback loop is saturated, the COMP pin always follows the SS pin voltage, until the output voltage becomes regulated and the feedback voltage takes over. In this control method, the output voltage control loop is always saturated, and the controller soft starts the COMP pin voltage. Therefore, it is called open loop soft start. The primary-side switch duty cycle is controlled by the COMP pin voltage and by the RAMP/CS pin voltage. During soft start, the COMP pin voltage follows the SS pin as it is rising, so the primary-side switch duty cycle keeps increasing. When the output voltage becomes regulated, the feedback voltage becomes less than the SS pin voltage and the primary-side switch comes controlled by the control loop. For the primary-side control setup, because output voltage is not directly accessible, the internal pre-biased start up loop is disabled by connecting VSENSE to VREF. Instead, the internal ramp used to generate the synchronous rectifier duty cycle is fixed, with the peak voltage of 3 V. The duty cycle of the synchronous rectifier increases as the SS pin voltage increases. When the SS pin voltage reaches 2.9 V, the soft start is considered finished and the synchronous rectifier duty cycle becomes the complementary of the primary-side switch duty cycle, minus the programmed dead time. Because of different COMP pin voltages at different line voltages, the SR duty cycle generated by the internal ramp might be different than the complementary of the primary-side switch duty cycle (1-D). If the duty cycle is too large, the internal logic is able to limit the duty cycle to (1-D). However, if the duty cycle is too small, when the soft start is finished, the SR duty cycle has a sudden change, which will cause output voltage disturbance. To optimize the pre-biased start up performance, it is recommended that the duty cycle change at the end of soft start be as small as possible.

A ramp signal is generated on the RAMP/CS pin, at a rate of two times that of the switching frequency. The generated ramp signal is used to control the duty cycle for both the primary-side switches and secondary-side synchronous rectifiers. The ramp amplitude can be fixed or variable with the input voltage (input voltage feedforward). To realize a fixed amplitude ramp, connect RCS to the VREF pin, so that the ramp capacitor charging voltage is fixed regardless of line and load condition. The RAMP/CS pin is clamped internally to 4 V for internal device protection. Because the internal pull-down switch has about 40-Ω on-resistance, the CCS value must be small enough to discharge RAMP/CS from the peak to ground within TD(sp) + 70 ns (i.e. the pulse width of BLANK signal). To achieve the input voltage feedforward, the slope of the ramp needs to be proportional to the input voltage. Tie RCS to the input line voltage. Because the ramp voltage is much lower than the input voltage, the ramp capacitor charging current is considered to be proportional to the input voltage. With input voltage feedforward, the COMP pin voltage should only move slightly even with large input voltage variation. This will provide much better line transient response for the converter.

When doing primary-side control to pre-biased start up, three conditions need to be considered: Condition 1 At initial start up the primary side needs to provide enough energy to prevent output voltage dip; Condition 2 At the end of soft start, it is required to keep the SR duty cycle change to be as small as possible. With input voltage feedforward, the COMP pin voltage is virtually fixed for different input voltages. Therefore, before the end of soft start, the duty cycle is the same for different input voltages. Choose the RCS and CCS following the procedure below. Considering initial start up, the RAMP peak voltage should be: VRAMP VIN - VPRE -BIAS = 2´n ´ VSR(ramp) 2 ´ VPRE -BIAS (23) In this equation, VIN is the input voltage because of the feedforward any input voltage should be fine; VPRE-BIAS is the highest pre-bias start-up voltage required by the system; n is the tranformer primary to secondary turns ratio and VSR(ramp) is the internal SR ramp peak voltage 3 V. Another consideration is at the end of soft start, the SR duty cycle changes from controlled by the soft start, to complimentary to the primary-side duty cycle. The design should keep the transition as smooth as possible. Considering this, based on the output voltage and input voltage range, as well as the transformer turns ratio, calculate the SR duty cycle at different line voltages. Next, based on the maximum duty cycle on the SR_DMAX, and the internal fixed ramp amplitude 3 V, the COMP voltage at regulation can be chosen as: VCOMP( final) = (SR _ DMAX - 0.5 )´ 3 V ´ 2 (24) Condition 3 Use the calculated COMP pin voltage to derive the external ramp amplitude VRAMP = VCOMP( final) (1 - SR _ DMAX )´ 2 (25) According to the calculated ramp voltage from Equation 23 and Equation 25 some trade off is required to pick up the appropriate ramp voltage. Based on the selected ramp capacitor CCS value, choose the ramp resistor RCS value: RCS = VIN(max) ´ 2 VRAMP ´ CCS ´ fsw (26) In this equation, VIN(max) is the maximum input voltage, fSW is the switching frequency. Because these calculations ignore the dead time and the non-linearity of the ramp, slight modification is expected to achieve the optimal design. When the input voltage feed forward is not used, refer to the RAMP pin discussion for RC calculation.

The current signal must be compatible with the input range of the COMP pin. External slope compensation is required to prevent sub-harmonic oscillation and to maintain flux-balance. The slope compensation can be implemented by using OUTA and OUTB to charge external capacitors and use the voltage follower to add into the sensed the current signal, as shown in Figure 43.

The input to the ILIM pin represents the primary current information. If the voltage sensed at ILIM pin exceeds 0.5 V, the current sense comparator terminates the pulse of output OUTA or OUTB. If the high current condition persists, the controller operates in a cycle-by-cycle current limit mode with duty cycle determined by the current sense comparator instead of the PWM comparator. ILIM pin is pulled down by an internal switch at the rising edge of each clock cycle. This internal switch remains on for an additional 70 ns after OUTA or OUTB goes high to blank leading edge transient noise in the current sensing loop. This reduces the filtering requirements at the ILIM pin and improves the current sense response time. UCC28250 makes it possible to maintain flux balance during cycle-by-cycle current limit operation. The duty cycles of primary switches are always matched. If one switch duty cycle is terminated earlier because of current limiting, a matched duty cycle is applied to the other switch for the next half switching cycle, regardless of the current condition, as shown in Figure 44. This matched duty cycle helps to maintain volt-second balancing on the transformer and prevents the transformer saturation. CLK 70ns 0.5V ILIM OUTA OUTB Figure 44. Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit Duty Cycle Matching Once the current limit is triggered, the 75-µA internal current source begins to charge the capacitor on HICC pin. If the current limit condition went away before HICC pin reaches 0.6 V, the device stops charge HICC capacitor and begins to discharge it with 2.7-µA current source. If the cycle-by-cycle current limit condition continues, HICC pin reachs 0.6 V, and all four outputs are shut down. The UCC28250 then enters hiccup mode. During hiccup mode, all four outputs keep low; SS pin is pulled to ground internally; a 2.7-µA current source continuously discharge HICC pin capacitor; until HICC pin voltage reaches 0.3 V. After that, HICC pin is discharged internally to get ready for the next HICC event. The whole converter starts with soft start after hiccup mode.

The hiccup time THICC is calculated as: THICC = CHICC ´ 2.4 V - 0.3 V 2.7 mA (28) As soon as the outputs are shut-down, SS pin is pulled down internally until the hiccup restart timer is reset after time duration THICC.

When activated, typically at 160°C, with the maximum threshold at 170°C and minimum threshold at 150°C the controller is forced into a low power standby mode. The outputs (OUTA, OUTB, SRA, SRB) are disabled. This helps to prevent accidental device overheating. A 20°C hysteresis is added to prevent comparator oscillation. During thermal shutdown, the UCC28250 follows a normal start up sequence after the junction temperature falls below 140°C (typical value, with 130°C minimum threshold and 150°C maximum threshold). 38 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): UCC28250 UCC28250 SLUSA29C – APRIL 2010 – REVISED JULY 2011 www.ti.com Design Example The example provided here is to show how to design a symmetrical half bridge converter of voltage mode control with UCC28250 on primary side. + Figure 46 is the circuit diagram to be used in this design example.
