The duration of the falling edge is determined by the value of CT. The duration of the rising edge of the waveform and, therefore, approximately the frequency, is determined by the value of RT. By varying the voltage at Cfilter, the oscillator frequency can be changed by its rated value. During the fall time, the VCO provides a trigger signal for the ramp generator, as well as an L signal for a number of IC parts to be controlled. Semiconductor Group 5 TDA 4700 TDA 4718 Ramp Generator The ramp generator is triggered by the VCO and oscillates at the same frequency. The duration of the falling edge of the ramp generator waveform is to be shorter than the fall time of the VCO. To control the pulse width at the output, the voltage of the rising edge of the ramp generator signal is compared with a DC voltage at comparator K2. The slope of the rising edge of the ramp generator signal is controlled by the current through RR. This offers the possibility of an additional, superimposed control of the output duty cycle. This additional control capability, called “feed-forward control”, is utilized to compensate for known interference such as ripple on the input voltage. Phase Comparator If the component is operated without external synchronization, the sync input must be connected to the sync output for the phase comparator to set the rated voltage at Cfilter. The VCO then oscillates with rated frequency. In the case of external synchronization, other components can be synchronized with the sync output. The component can be frequency-synchronized, but not phase-synchronized, with the sync input. The duty cycle of the squarewave voltage at the sync input is arbitrary. The best stability as to small phase and frequency interference deviation is achieved with a duty cycle as offered by the sync output. Push-Pull Flipflop The push-pull flipflop is switched by the falling edge of the VCO. This ensures that only one output of the two push-pull outputs is enabled at a time. Comparator K2 The two plus inputs of the comparator are switched such that the lower plus level is always compared with the level of the minus input. As soon as the voltage of the rising sawtooth edge exceeds the lower of the two plus levels, both outputs are disabled via the pulse turn-off flipflop. The period during which the respective, active outputs is low can be infinitely varied. As the frequency remains constant, this process corresponds to a change in duty cycle. Operational Amplifier K1 (TDA 4700; A) The K1 op amp is a high-quality amplifier. Fluctuations in the output voltage of the power supply are amplified by K1 and applied to the free + input of comparator K2. Variations in output voltage are, in this way, converted to a corresponding change in output duty cycle. K1 has a common-mode input voltage range between 0 V and + 5 V. Semiconductor Group 6 TDA 4700 TDA 4718 Pulse-Turn-OFF Flipflop The pulse turn-OFF flipflop enables the outputs at the start of each half cycle. If an error signal from comparator K7 or a turn-off signal from K2 is present, the outputs will immediately be switched off. Comparator K3 Comparator K3 limits the voltage at capacitance Csoft start (and also at K2) to a maximum of + 5 V. The voltage at the ramp generator output may, however rise to 5.5 V. With a corresponding slope of the rising ramp generator edge, the duty cycle can be limited to a desired maximum value. Comparator K4 The comparator has its switching threshold at 1.5 V and sets the error flipflop with its output if the voltage at capacitance Csoft start is below 1.5 V. However, the error flipflop accepts the set signal only if no reset pulse (error) is applied. In this way the outputs cannot be turned on again as long as an error signal is present. Soft Start The lower one of the two voltages at the plus inputs of K2 is a measure for the duty cycle at the output. At the instant of turning on the component, the voltage at capacitor Csoft start equals 0 V. As long as no error is present, this capacitor is charged with a current of 6 µA to the maximum value of 5 V. In case of an error, Csoft start is discharged with a current of 2 µA. A set signal is pending at the error flipflop below a charge of 1.5 V and the outputs are enabled if no reset signal is pending simultaneously. As the minimum ramp generator voltage, however, is 1.8 V, the duty cycle at the outputs is actually increased slowly and continuously not before the voltage at Csoft start exceeds 1.8 V. Error Flipflop Error signals, which are led to input R of the error flipflop cause an immediate disabling of the outputs, and after the error has been eliminated, cause the component to switch on again by the soft start. Comparator K5, K6, K8, VREF Overcurrent Load These are error detectors which cause immediate disabling of the outputs via the error flipflop when an error occurs. After elimination of the error, the component switches on again using the soft start. The output of K5 can be fed back to the input. This causes the IC output stage to remain disabled even after elimination of the overvoltage. However, it requires high-ohmic overvoltage coupling. Semiconductor Group 7 TDA 4700 TDA 4718 Comparator K7 K7 serves to recognize overcurrents. This is the reason why both inputs of the op amp have been brought out. Turning on is resumed after error recovery at the beginning of the next half period but without using the soft start. K7 has a common-mode range covers 0 V and + 4 V. The delay time between occurrence of an error and disabling of the outputs is only 250 ns. Symmetry (TDA 4700; A) In push-pull converters, a saturation of the transformer core must be prevented. The degree of saturation of the transformer can be determined with an external circuit, thus the active periods of the outputs can be decreased unsymmetrically at the symmetry inputs. Outputs Both outputs are transistors with open collectors and operate in a push-pull arrangement. They are active low. The time in which only one of the two outputs is conductive can be varied infinitely. The length of the falling edge at VCO is equal to the minimum time during which both outputs are disabled simultaneously. The minimum L voltage is 0.7 V. Reference Voltage The reference voltage source is a highly constant source with regard to its temperature behavior. It can be utilized in the external wiring of the op amp, the error comparators, the ramp generator, or other external components.
