A PWM modulation algorithm varies both the switching frequency and primary current while maintaining discontinuous or transition mode operation over the entire operating range. Combined with a cascoded architecture, these innovations result in efficiency, reliability, and system cost improvements over a conventional flyback architecture. The UCC28610 offers a predictable maximum power threshold and a timed response to an overload, allowing safe handling of surge power requirements. Overload fault response is user-programmed for retry or latch-off mode. Additional protection features include output overvoltage detection, programmable maximum on-time, and thermal shutdown. + VOUT VIN AC - UCC28610 MOT VGG CL DRV ZCD GND FB VDD 1 Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

Program with a resistor between CL and GND. DRV 6 O (DRiVe) This pin drives the source of an external high voltage power MOSFET. The DRV pin carries the full primary current of the converter. Connect a Schottky diode between DRV and VDD to provide initial bias at start up. FB 1 I (FeedBack) The FB current, IFB, commands the operating mode of the UCC28610. The FB voltage is always 0.7 V. This pin only detects current. GND 7 -- (GrouND) This pin is the current return terminal for both the analog and power signals in the UCC28610. This terminal carries the full primary current of the converter. Separate the return path of the bulk capacitor from the return path of FB, ZCD, MOT, and CL. MOT 4 I (Maximum On Time) This pin has three functions: 1. MOT programs the allowed maximum on-time, tMOT, of the internal driver. 2. MOT programs the converter's reaction to overload and power input under-voltage conditions with either a shutdown/retry response or a latch-off response. 3. MOT can be used to externally shut down the power supply by pulling MOT to GND. When the pin is released, the converter will start after a restart delay, tRETRY. Functions 1 and 2 are programmed with a resistor between MOT and GND. VDD 8 -- This is the bias supply pin for the UCC28610. It can be derived from an external source or an auxiliary winding. This pin must be decoupled with a 0.1-F ceramic capacitor placed between VDD and GND, as close to the device as possible. VGG 5 -- This pin provides a DC voltage for the gate of the external high voltage MOSFET. This pin must be decoupled with a 0.1-F ceramic capacitor placed between VGG and GND, as close to the device as possible. This pin also initiates start-up bias through a large value resistor that is connected to the input bulk voltage. I (Zero Current Detection) This pin has two functions: 1. ZCD senses the transformer reset based on a valid zero current detection signal. 2. ZCD programs the output Over Voltage Protection (OVP) feature using a resistive divider on the primary side bias winding of the Flyback transformer.

Operation of the flyback converter in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) is especially attractive because it eliminates reverse recovery losses in the output rectifier and it simplifies control. The UCC28610 is a flyback controller for 12-W to 65-W, peak AC/DC power supply applications that require both low AC line power during no-load operation and high average efficiency. This controller limits the converter to DCM operation. It does not allow Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) operation. Forced DCM operation results in a uniquely safe current limit characteristic that is insensitive to AC line variations. The peak current mode modulator does not need slope compensation because the converter operates in DCM. The operation of the UCC28610 is facilitated by driving the external high voltage MOSFET through the source. This configuration is called a cascode driver. It features fast start-up and low input power under no-load conditions without having high voltage connections to the control device. The cascode driver has no effect on the general operation of the flyback converter. The feedback pin uses current rather than voltage. This unique feature minimizes primary side power consumption during no-load operation by avoiding external resistive conversion from opto-coupler current to voltage. Average efficiency is optimized by the UCC28610 between peak power and 22% peak power with constant peak current, variable off-time modulation. This modulation tends to make the efficiency constant between 22% and 100% peak load, eliminating the need to over-design to meet average efficiency levels that are required by EnergyStarTM. Copyright (c) 2009-2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated 13 UCC28610 SLUS888E - JANUARY 2009 - REVISED JULY 2011 www.ti.com Transformer Selection To begin a power supply design, the power supply designer needs to know the peak power to be delivered by the converter, the input voltage range, the output voltage, and an estimate of the maximum allowable bulk voltage ripple. Select the maximum allowable stress voltage for the external power MOSFET. The stress voltage, VDS, determines the reflected secondary voltage that resets the flyback transformer and the turn ratio between primary and secondary. A simplified diagram of the converter and its waveforms are shown in Figure 20. N PS Figure 20. Basic Flyback Converter and Waveforms at Peak Load and Minimum VBULK Voltage Peak power is the maximum power level that must be regulated by the converter control system. Loads that last longer than the control loop time constant (100 s - 300 s) are directly considered "peak power". Loads lasting less than the control loop time constant can be averaged over the control loop time constant. The minimum switching period is when the converter is operating in the Frequency Modulation (FM) mode, referred to as tS(HF). This switching period must equal the sum of the switching intervals at minimum input voltage, maximum load, as shown in Figure 20 and described in Equation 1. The switching intervals are tON, the conduction time of the MOSFET; tDM the demagnetization time of the transformer and tDT, the duration of the deadtime, equal to half of the resonant cycle, after the transformer is de-energized. tS( HF ) = tON + tDM + tDT (1) Solve for the primary to secondary turn ratio, NPS, using the maximum allowable VDS, the maximum input line voltage, the predicted voltage spike due to leakage inductance and the desired regulated output voltage of the converter, VOUT.

In the actual circuit, when the resonance and delay due to leakage inductance can be measured, the magnetizing inductance value may need to be iterated for optimized low voltage switching. Select the CL resistor, RCL, based upon the maximum power constant of the controller, KP, The tolerance of LM should be considered (such as 10% lower for a typical inductor) and the minimum value of LM should be used to calculate the value of the CL resistor. To avoid tripping the overload protection feature of the controller during the normal operating range, use the minimum value of KP from the Electrical Characteristics Table: RCL = 33.2kW K P LM PIN (9) Once RCL is selected, the peak DRV current is calculated using Equation 10: IDRV(PK ) = 100kV RCL (10) For high efficiency, the bias winding turn ratio, NPB, should be designed to maintain the VDD voltage above the VGG clamp, which is equal to VGG(DISABLED), when the converter is in burst mode. If VDD discharges below this value, minus the threshold voltage of the HVMOSFET, the HVMOSFET will turn on and linearly supply the VDD current from the high voltage rail instead of from the bias windings. Adding a zener diode on VDD will protect VDD from exceeding its absolute maximum rating in the event of a spike due to excess leakage inductance.

Thus, the external high voltage power MOSFET provides the start-up function in addition to the power switching function during converter operation. The cascode architecture utilizes a low voltage switch operating between ground and the source of a high voltage MOSFET (HVMOSFET) configured in a common gate configuration, as shown in Figure 21. There are some key points to note. 1. The gate of the external HVMOSFET is held at a DC voltage. 2. The HVMOSFET is driven through the source, not the gate. 3. The entire primary winding current passes through the internal low voltage Driver MOSFET (both DRV and GND pins).

The HVMOSFET is forced to track the fast internal low voltage driver. The drain-gate charge in the HVMOSFET does not affect the turn-off speed because the gate is connected to a low impedance DC source. The cascode configuration results in very fast turn-off of the HVMOSFET, which keeps MOSFET switching losses low. Cascode drive circuits are well known for high speed voltage gain. This topology can have small signal bandwidth over 100 MHz and it can exhibit high frequency ringing. High frequency ringing can cause EMI problems and become destructive in some situations. The sub-intervals during and immediately following the turn-on and turn-off transients are particularly susceptible to oscillation. For avoidance or solutions, see the application section, Solving High Frequency Ringing. The cascode configuration permits a unique start-up sequence that is fast yet low-loss. Start-up bias uses a low level bleed current from either the AC line or the rectified and filtered AC line, or bulk voltage (via RSTART) as shown in Figure 22. This current charges a small VGG capacitor, CVGG, raising the HVMOSFET gate. The VGG pin will typically draw approximately 6 A (IVGG(SREG)) during this time, allowing the bulk bias current to be small and still charge the VGG capacitor. The HVMOSFET acts as a source follower once VGG reaches the threshold voltage of the HVMOSFET. Then, the HVMOSFET will bring up the DRV voltage as VGG continues to rise. During this time the UCC28610 is in UVLO and the Enable PWM signal is low. This turns on the VDD switch connecting VDD to DRV, allowing VDD to rise with the source of the HVMOSFET and charging CVDD. An external Schottky diode, D1, is required between DRV and VDD. This diode passes potentially high switching currents that could otherwise flow through the body diode of the internal VDD Switch.

A bias winding voltage between 17 V and 20 V usually achieves minimum loss. The bias winding often tracks the primary leakage inductance turn-off voltage spike.

Typical Start-Up Waveforms for a 17-V Bias Winding Voltage Typical start-up waveforms are shown in Figure 23. As VGG rises, VDD will follow, minus the threshold voltage of the HVMOSFET. When VDD reaches approximately 10 V, the UCC28610 initiates switching. The bias supply current, IVDD, rises to its operating level and it is supplied from the VDD capacitor. Start-up times can be kept under 200 ms by selecting the VGG capacitor in the range of 33 nF to 1000 nF and selecting RSTART to have a current of 15 A at the minimum AC line voltage. Select capacitor CVDD to have enough capacitance to provide operating bias current to the controller for the time it takes the auxiliary winding to take over. No-load burst operation may impose a requirement for additional CVDD capacitance. The voltage on VGG is shunt regulated to 16 V whenever the PWM action is disabled. This is reduced to 14 V during switching to limit voltage stress on the gate of the external HVMOSFET. The external HVMOSFET should have a threshold voltage of less than 6 V in order to permit proper starting. 18 Copyright (c) 2009-2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated UCC28610 SLUS888E - JANUARY 2009 - REVISED JULY 2011 www.ti.com Feedback Function Modulation and modes are controlled by applying current to the FB pin. The FB pin is usually used to feed back the output error signal to the modulator. The UCC28610 uses internal current mirrors to apply the FB current to the Feedback Processing block, and then to the Frequency Modulator and Current Modulator blocks. The voltage of the FB pin is a constant 0.7 V. AC filtering of the output of the opto-coupler must be applied to the emitter of the opto-coupler, as shown in Figure 24. The corner frequency of the filter in Figure 24 should be at least a decade above the maximum switching frequency of the converter, as given in Equation 11. A 100-k resistor, RFB, between the FB pin and GND prevents ground noise from resetting the overload timer by biasing the FB pin with a negative current. An opto-coupler with a low Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) often gives better no-load performance than a high CTR device due to the bias current of the secondary reference. The low CTR also offers better noise immunity than a high CTR device.

The FB current commands the UCC28610 to operate the converter in one of three modes: Frequency Modulation (FM) mode, Amplitude Modulation (AM) mode, and Green Mode (GM). The converter operates in FM mode with a large power load (22% to 100% the peak regulated power). The peak HVMOSFET current reaches its maximum programmed value and FB current regulates the output voltage by varying the switching frequency, which is inversely proportional to tS. The switching frequency is modulated from 30 kHz (22% peak power) to 133 kHz (100% peak power), the on time is constant, and the IDRV peak current is constant. The maximum programmable HVMOSFET current, IDRV,PK(max), is set by a resistor on the CL pin, as described in Equation 10. The converter operates in AM mode at moderate power levels (2.5% to 22% of the peak regulated power). The FB current regulates the output voltage by modulating the amplitude of the peak HVMOSFET current from 33% to 100% of the maximum programmed value while the switching frequency is fixed at approximately 30 kHz. The UCC28610 modulates the voltage on the CL pin from 3 V to 1 V to vary the commanded peak current, as shown in Figure 25 and Figure 26.

The switching frequency within a burst of pulses is approximately 30 kHz. The duration between bursts is regulated by the power supply control dynamics and the FB hysteresis. The UCC28610 reduces internal bias power between bursts in order to conserve energy during light-load and no-load conditions. 1 /tS TS W VGAT E I FB 133 kHz - Sw i tc hi ng F re q ue n cy - I FB,CNR2 - IFB,CNR1 (45 uA) f S IGM,HYST (20 uA ) 30 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 IFB - Feedbac k C urrent - A Figure 25.

See Figure 27 for details. All of the primary current passes into the DRV pin, through the Driver MOSFET and out of the GND pin. The Driver MOSFET current is scaled and reflected to the PWM Comparator where it is compared with the CL current. At the beginning of each switching cycle a blanking pulse, tBLANK,(Ilim), of approximately 220 ns is applied to the internal current limiter to allow the driver to turn on without false limiting on the leading edge capacitive discharge currents normally present in the circuit.

The time since the last turn-on edge must be equal to or greater than the time that is requested by the Feedback Processor as determined by the feedback current, IFB. 2. The time since the last turn-on edge must be longer than the minimum period that is built into the UCC28610 (nominally 7.5 s which equals 133 kHz). 3. Immediately following a high-to-low zero crossing of the ZCD voltage. Or, it has been longer than tWAIT,ZCD (~2.4 s) since the last zero crossing has been detected. Every switching cycle is preceded by at least one zero crossing detection by the ZCD pin. The modulator allows the resonant ring to damp between pulses if the period needs to exceed the damping limit, allowing long pauses between pulses during no-load operation. The switching frequency is not allowed to exceed 133 kHz (nominally). This sets the maximum power limit so that it will be constant for all bulk voltages that exceed the minimum line voltage value. Figure 28 illustrates a set of switching cycle waveforms over a range of operating conditions. The UCC28610 is designed to always keep the inductor current discontinuous. This prevents current tailing during start-up or short circuit conditions and accommodates control of the maximum power delivered. Figure 28.

The bias winding operates in phase with the output winding. The ZCD function detects transformer demagnetization when the ZCD voltage has a high to low crossing of the 20-mV ZCD threshold, ZCDTH. The voltage at the ZCD pin is internally clamped to contain negative excursions at -160mV (ZCDCLAMP). A small delay, 50 ns to 200 ns, can be added with CZCD to align the turn-on of the primary switch with the resonant valley of the primary winding waveform.

The details are shown in Figure 30. During the GM-on state, the controller is active while the modulator issues a burst of one or more pulses. During the GM-off state the controller reduces its operating current and switching action is inhibited. The rate and duration of the on and off states are controlled by the current into the FB pin as it cycles between the two hysteretic thresholds separated by IFB, GM_HYST, the load current, the output filter capacitor, and the details of the feedback circuit. During the GM-off state the VDD supply current is reduced to approximately 550 A, IVDD(GM). The Enable PWM signal goes low which inhibits switching, sets the VGG shunt regulation to ~16 V, VGG(DISABLED), and turns on the VDD switch. The VGG node quickly charges to 16V and the low VDD current is supplied from the VDD capacitor. During the GM-on state the UCC28610 controls the peak primary current to 33% of IDRV,PK(max), at a 30-kHz rate. When switching, the VGG shunt regulator pulls the VGG voltage down to ~14 V. VDD is charged by the auxiliary winding during this time as long as VDD does not discharge below 14 V. The converter's output voltage is charged until the feedback network forces the FB current to the GM off threshold, IFB,CNR3, and puts the controller back into the GM off state. At very light loads the time between PWM bursts can be long. To obtain the lowest no-load power, it is important that VDD not discharge below 16 V by more than the threshold voltage of the HVMOSFET or the HVMOSFET will turn-on and linearly supply the VDD current from the high-voltage bulk rail. The VDD voltage can be extended by increasing the CVDD capacitance without significant impact on start-up time.

This power range may depend on application and external MOSFET stress voltage. Ultimately, the peak primary current is the limiting factor because this current must pass through the UCC28610. The limit on the peak primary current imposes a limit on the peak primary power. The peak power must be less than 65 W, not the average power. The peak power is defined as the highest power level where the controller must maintain regulation. At all power levels, program the UCC28610 to control the power limit with the primary inductance, peak current and maximum switching frequency (133 kHz). The maximum peak input power level is given by Equation 14. The accuracy of the power limit is twice as sensitive to IDRV(PK) errors than LM errors and fS(max) errors. If the load demands more power than the programmed level, the power supply output voltage sags and the overload timer is initiated. PIN(max) = Lm IDRV(pk)2 fS(max) 2 (14) Minimum Converter Power Limitation The dynamics of the DRV current sense imposes the 12-W minimum power level limit for this controller. The power level limits are found from DRV current estimates for typical universal AC adapters that use a 600-V MOSFET. The power range and its associated peak current range are given in Equation 15. PIN 12W I DRV ,PK (min) 1A (15) The minimum power level is due to a loss of linearity of the current mirror, as shown in Figure 31. A programmed IDRV,PK level between 0.66 A and 1 A (by using 100 k RCL 150 k) allows only a 2:1 amplitude modulation range of the peak DRV current. The amplitude of IDRV modulates linearly if IDRV,PK is programmed within its recommended operating range (1.0 A < IDRV,PK < 4.1 A, corresponding to 100 k > RCL > 24.3 k respectively. 5 IDRV(pk) - Peak DRV Current - A Best Results 24.3 kW < RCL< 100 kW 4 3 2 1 Avoid Operation Here 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 1/RCL - mS Figure 31.

The overload fault responses are either (1) latch-off or (2) shutdown/retry after a retry delay of 750 ms. The overload response is programmed with the MOT pin. The forced DCM feature prevents transformer saturation and limits the average and RMS output currents of the secondary winding of the transformer. Even under short circuit load conditions, the output current of the transformer is limited to the levels that are shown in Equation 16, where NPS is the primary-to-secondary turns ratio. Typical behavior for a shorted load is shown in Figure 32. ISECONDARY ,AVG (SHORTEDLOAD ) = ISECONDARY ,RMS (SHORTEDLOAD ) = NPS IDRV ( PEAK ) 2 NPS IDRV ( PEAK ) 3 (16) In shutdown/retry mode switching will be re-enabled after the 750-ms retry delay. In latch-off mode, a 7.5-k load is activated at the DRV pin upon the activation by a fault condition. The internal 7.5-k load draws current from the bulk capacitor through the HVMOSFET and the transformer primary winding. The bias voltage, VDD, is also regulated by the HVMOSFET during the latch-off state. Once the AC line is removed, a 2.8-mA current, IDRV,DSCH, will discharge the bulk capacitor. Ultimately, VDD will discharge when the bulk voltage becomes sufficiently low. A normal start-up cycle can occur if the input voltage is applied after VDD falls below the fault reset level, VDD(FAULT RESET), which is approximately equal to 6 V. tOL = 250ms 50 300 Figure 32.

The highest possible secondary currents can be described by Equation 16. The UCC28610 adds further protection by allowing the user to program the maximum on-time. The Maximum On-Time (MOT) function causes the converter to react as if there is an overload condition if the load is sufficiently large during a line sag condition. During low line conditions the MOT function limits the on-time of the primary switch which limits the peak current in the primary power stage. Figure 33 shows how the MOT period, tMOT, is programmed over the range of 1.5 s to 5 s for either range of programming resistors. The resistor range determines the controller's response to a sustained overload fault - to either Latch-off or to Shutdown/Retry, which is the same response for a line-sag, or brown out, condition. External Shutdown Using the MOT Pin Many applications require the ability to shutdown the power supply with external means. This feature is easily implemented by connecting the collector and emitter of an NPN transistor between MOT and GND, respectively. The NPN transistor can be the photo-transistor of an opto-isolator for isolated applications. t MOT k k RMOT k k Figure 33.

The sampling time has a fixed delay of 1 s, tBLANK,OVP, after the internal driver turns off. This allows the auxiliary winding to be sampled after the bias winding voltage settles from the transient. This same delay is used to blank the ZCD input to avoid unintended zero crossing detection should the ringing be large enough to cross the ZCD zero crossing threshold. The output over-voltage (OV) threshold is set using the turn ratio of the auxiliary winding to the output secondary and a resistive divider into the ZCD input pin. The UCC28610 will always enter a latched-off state if it detects an OV condition. The VDD supply must cycle below the fault reset threshold to re-start in order to recover. The functionality of the over-voltage detection function is shown in Figure 34. Figure 34. Output Over-Voltage Protection with ZCD Pin Solving for High Frequency Ringing Cascode drive circuits are well known for high speed voltage gain. This topology can have small signal bandwidth well over 100 MHz and it can exhibit high frequency ringing. The internal HS Drive MOSFET shorts the gate to source of the external HVMOSFET during the turn-off interval of the switch cycle. This prevents the HVMOSFET from undesirably exciting the LC resonant circuit in the converter (the magnetizing inductance of the transformer and the stray drain capacitance). High frequency ringing can appear within the built-in dead-time between the turn-off of DRV and the turn-on of the HS Drive. A large amount of energy is transferred through the power components during this dead-time. Excessive high frequency ringing can cause EMI problems and become destructive in some situations. Identification of High Frequency Ringing The high frequency ringing is the result of stray capacitances ringing with the stray inductance between the source of the HVMOSFET and the DRV pin. Low threshold voltage of the high voltage MOSFET and large peak DRV current can make the ringing worse. In destructive ringing situations, the converter may easily power up and attain regulation the first time, never to start-up again. The ringing can be observed in either or both of the following conditions: * The very first HVMOSFET turn-off event during a cold start of the converter (VGG > VDD). * HVMOSFET turn-off edge under steady state, where the converter switches the HVMOSFET at the programmed IDRV,PK level (VDD > VGG). 28 Copyright (c) 2009-2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated UCC28610 SLUS888E - JANUARY 2009 - REVISED JULY 2011 www.ti.com Avoid HF Ringing High frequency ringing problems with cascode MOSFET drives can often be avoided. Many converters will not have this problem because they use an HVMOSFET with a large Vth, large RDS(on), low transconductance gain, or operate at low current. Ringing problems can also be avoided by minimizing stray inductance. The trace between the HVMOSFET source and the DRV pin must be kept very short, less than 1 cm. Do not add current probe loops to the source lead of the HVMOSFET. Do not place ferrite beads on the source lead of the HVMOSFET. If ringing cannot be avoided, the most efficient and effective methods to solve ringing during switching transients are: 1. A ferrite chip or bead connected to the gate of the HVMOSFET, 2. A small capacitor connected from DRV to GND and 3. A gate turn-off resistor. These three techniques can be used separately or combined, as shown in Figure 35.

Select the ferrite chip for its resistance value in the ringing frequency range (for example, 60 at 100 MHz). The peak current rating of the ferrite chip or bead must be sufficient for the drain - gate discharge current that occurs during the turn-off transient. Excessively large bead reactance can result in low frequency surges of VGG at peak load. Normally, good results can be achieved with a 0603 ferrite chip device. DRV Capacitor Solution A capacitor between DRV and GND can reduce ringing on VGG. Select the DRV capacitor experimentally by observing the effect on the VGG pin during the first turn-off edge and during the turn-off edge at full load operation. The capacitor should be less than 3.3 nF so that it does not significantly reduce efficiency. Use a capacitor with a low Q, such as one with Y5V dielectric. This technique will not completely damp the ringing yet it can provide sufficient protection against stray inductance between the source of the HVMOSFET and the DRV pin. Gate Turn-Off Resistor Solution A gate turn-off resistor in the range 0 < RG-OFF < 5 can damp ringing. The turn-off resistance is limited in order to prevent the stray source inductance of the HVMOSFET from over charging VGG through the body diode of the HS Drive MOSFET, in addition to any peak current error problems that would be caused by additional delay. The damping effect of the gate resistor works better in applications with low current and small source inductance. A much larger resistance can be tolerated during the HVMOSFET turn-on transition due to DCM operation. The recommended turn-on resistance range is 0
