Slope compensation is derived from the rising voltage at the timing capacitor and can be buffered with an external small signal NPN transistor. External high frequency filter capacitance applied from this node to GND is discharged by an internal 250Ω on resistance NMOS FET during PWM off time and offers effective leading edge blanking set by the RC time constant of the feedback resistance from current sense resistor to FB input and the high frequency filter capacitor capacitance at this node to GND. RT2: This pin connects to timing resistor RT2 and controls the negative ramp time of the internal oscillator (Tf = 0.74 • (CT + 27pF) • RT2). The negative threshold of the internal oscillator is sensed through inactive timing resistor RT1 which connects to pin RT1 and timing capacitor CT. SS: This pin serves two functions. The soft start timing capacitor connects to SS and is charged by an internal 6µA current source. Under normal soft start SS is discharged to at least 0.4V and then ramps positive to 1V during which time the output driver is held low. As SS charges from 1V to 2V soft start is implemented by an increasing output duty cycle. If SS is taken below 0.5V, the output driver is inhibited and held low. The user accessible 5V voltage reference also goes low and IVDD < 100µA. GND: Reference ground and power ground for all functions. OUT: This pin is the high current power driver output. A minimum series gate resistor of 3.9 is recommended to limit the gate drive current when operating with high bias voltages. VDD: The power input connection for this device. This pin is shunt regulated at 17.5V which is sufficiently below the voltage rating of the DMOS output driver stage. VDD should be bypassed with a 1µF ceramic capacitor. REF: The internal 5V reference output. This reference is buffered and is available on the REF pin. REF should be bypassed with a 0.47µF ceramic capacitor. RT1: This pin connects to timing resistor RT1 and controls the positive ramp time of the internal oscillator (Tr = 0.74 • (CT + 27pF) • RT1). The positive threshold of the internal oscillator is sensed through inactive timing resistor RT2 which connects to pin RT2 and timing capacitor CT. 3 C1 150µF –VIN ON/OFF +VIN PGND1 R2 1.1K R1 5.1k C2 150µF Q1 2N2222A C4 0.01µF C5 1nF R3 12.1K TP1 PGND1 C3 1µF R4 6.19K R5 470 6 5 OUT GND RT1 RT2 3 4 R18 3.01K Q4 2N2222A C22 0.1µF R20 5.62K 7 VDD SS 2 U1 8 REF UCC3809 FB 1 C6 330pF C8 1µF D1 5231B C9 0.1µF C7 0.47µF R12 27K D4 1N5240 R9 2K 3W R6 1K R10 10 D2 1N5245 R11 680 Q2 2N2907A R13 1.1K 2 4 R7 15K C15 0.015µF D3 SF24 R8 0.15 3W Q3 IRF640 5:1 R19 5.1K 3W C10 0.22µF T1 80µH U3 1 5 H11AV1 1 2 3 R15 10K C14 470pF C16 330µF 6.3V C13 0.1µF U2 MBR2535CTL U4 TL431 R14 750 C17 330µF 6.3V R16 12.1K 1% R17 12.1K 1% C18 330µF 6.3V –VOUT C19 330µF 6.3V +VOUT UCC1809-1/-2 UCC2809-1/-2 UCC3809-1/-2 APPLICATION INFORMATION UDG-99179 Figure 1.

The Typical Application Diagram shows an isolated flyback converter utilizing the UCC3809. Note that the capacitors CREF and CVDD are local decoupling capacitors for the reference and IC input voltage, respectively. Both capacitors should be low ESR and ESL ceramic, placed as close to the IC pins as possible, and returned directly to the ground pin of the chip for best stability. REF provides the internal bias to many of the IC functions and CREF should be at least 0.47µF to prevent REF from drooping. 5.0V reference) sensed through RT1. The R input to the oscillator latch, R(OSC), is also level sensitive and resets the CLK signal low when CT crosses the 1.67V threshold, turning off Q2 and turning on Q1, initiating another charging cycle. Figure 3 shows the waveforms associated with the oscillator latch and the PWM latch (shown in the Typical Application Diagram). A high CLK signal not only initiates a discharge cycle for CT, it also turns on the internal NMOS FET on the FB pin causing any external capacitance used for leading edge blanking connected to this pin to be discharged to ground. By discharging any external capacitor completely to ground during the external switch’s off-time, the noise immunity of the converter is enhanced allowing the user to design in smaller RC components for leading edge blanking. A high CLK signal also sets the level sensitive S input of the PWM latch, S(PWM), high, resulting in a high output, Q(PWM), as shown in Figure 3. This Q(PWM) signal will remain high until a reset signal, R(PWM) is received. A high R(PWM) signal results from the FB signal crossing the 1V threshold, or during soft start or if the SS pin is disabled. FB Pin The basic premise of the UCC3809 is that the voltage sense feedback signal originates from an optocoupler that is modulated by an external error amplifier located on the secondary side. This signal is summed with the current sense signal and any slope compensation at the FB pin and compared to a 1V threshold, as shown in the Typical Application Diagram. Crossing this 1V threshold resets the PWM latch and modulates the output driver on-time much like the current sense comparator used in the UC3842. In the absence of a FB signal, the output will follow the programmed maximum on-time of the oscillator. Assuming the UVLO threshold is satisfied, the OUT signal of the IC will be high as long as Q(PWM) is high and S(PWM), also referred to as CLK, is low. The OUT signal will be dominated by the FB signal as long as the FB signal trips the 1V threshold while CLK is low. If the FB signal does not cross the 1V threshold while CLK is low, the OUT signal will be dominated by the maximum duty cycle programmed by the user. Figure 3 illustrates the various waveforms for a design set up for a maximum duty cycle of 70%. When adding slope compensation, it is important to use a small capacitor to AC couple the oscillator waveform before summing this signal into the FB pin. By correctly selecting the emitter resistor of the optocoupler, the voltage sense signal can force the FB node to exceed the 1V threshold when the output that is being compared exceeds a desired level. Doing so drives the UCC3809 to zero percent duty cycle. Oscillator The following equation sets the oscillator frequency: −1 FOSC = [0.74 • (CT + 27 pF ) • (RT 1 + RT 2)] VREF D MAX = 0.74 • RT 1 • (CT + 27 pF ) • FOSC Q1 Referring to Figure 2 and the waveforms in Figure 3, when Q1is on, CT charges via the RDS(on) of Q1 and RT1. During this charging process, the voltage of CT is sensed through RT2. The S input of the oscillator latch, S(OSC), is level sensitive, so crossing the upper threshold (set at 2/3 VREF or 3.33V for a typical 5.0V reference) sets the Q output (CLK signal) of the oscillator latch high. A high CLK signal results in turning off Q1 and turning on Q2. CT now discharges through RT2 and the RDS(on) of Q2. CT discharges from 3.33V to the lower threshold (set at 1/3 VREF or 1.67V for a typical 3 S 3.33V Q CLK RT1 4 R 1.67V RT2 CT OSCILLATOR LATCH Q2 OSC UDG-97195 Figure 2.

Waveforms associated with the oscillator latch and the PWM latch. The recommended value for CT is 1nF for frequencies in the 100 kHz or less range and smaller CT for higher frequencies. The minimum recommended values of RT1 and RT2 are 10kΩ and 4.32kΩ, respectively. Using these values maintains a ratio of at least 20:1 between the RDS(on) of the internal FETs and the external timing resistors, resulting in minimal change in frequency over temperature. Because of the oscillator's susceptibility to capacitive coupling, examine the oscillator frequency by looking at the common RT1-RT2-CT node on the circuit board as opposed to looking at pins 3 and 4 directly. For good noise immunity, RT1 and RT2 should be placed as close to pins 3 and 4 of the IC as possible. CT should be returned directly to the ground pin of the IC with minimal stray inductance and capacitance. Figure 4. Oscillator frequency vs. CT (RT1 = 10k, RT2 = 4.32k) 6 UCC1809-1/-2 UCC2809-1/-2 UCC3809-1/-2 APPLICATION INFORMATION (cont.) Synchronization changed. Both of the synchronization schemes shown in Figure 5 can be successfully implemented with the internal oscillator of the UCC3809. Both schemes allow access to the timing ramp needed for slope compensation and have minimal impact on the programmed maximum duty cycle. In the absence of a sync pulse, the PWM controller will run independently at the frequency set by RT1, RT2, and CT. This free running frequency must be approximately 15 to 20% lower than the sync pulse frequency to insure the free running oscillator does not cross the comparator threshold before the desired sync pulse. Option II uses the synchronization pulse to superimpose the sync voltage onto the peak of the CT waveform. This triggers the internal 3.33V comparator, initiating a discharge cycle. The sync pulse is summed with the free running oscillator waveform at the CT node, resulting in a spike on top of the CT peak voltage.

Option I uses the synchronization pulse to pull pin 3 low, triggering the internal 1.67V comparator to reset the RS latch and initiate a charging cycle.
