PRODUCTION DATA.
Care in design of the transformer and VC bias circuit is required to obtain hiccup overload protection. Leading-edge voltage overshoot on the bias winding may cause VC to peak-charge, preventing the expected tracking with output voltage. Some method of controlling overshoot is usually required. The method may be as simple as a series resistor, or an R-C filter in front of DVC1. Good transformer bias-to-output-winding coupling results in reduced overshoot and better voltage tracking.
RVC as shown in Figure 33 helps to reduce peak charging from the bias winding. Reduced peak charging becomes especially important when tuning hiccup mode operation during output overload. Typical values for RVC are between 10 Ω and 100 Ω.
