6.3.8 Minimum Pulse (TMIN)

The resistor RTMIN from the TMIN pin to GND sets a fixed minimum pulse width. This pulse is applied to the transformer and enables ZVS at light load. If the output PWM pulse demanded by the feedback loop is shorter than TMIN, then the controller proceeds to burst mode operation where an even number of TMIN pulses are followed by the off time dictated by the feedback loop. The proper selection of the TMIN duration is dictated by the time it takes to raise sufficient magnetizing current in the power transformer to maintain ZVS. The TMIN pulse is measured from the rising edge of OUTA to the falling edge of OUTD – or from the rising edge of OUTB to the falling edge of OUTC. The minimum pulse TMIN is then defined by Equation 8.

Equation 8. UCC28950 UCC28951

where

  • TMIN is in ns
  • RTMIN is in kΩ

Various propagation and response time delays in the power circuit modify (usually increase) the pulse width that is measured at the transformer. Select the correct TMIN setting using an iterative process due to the propagation and response time delays in the power circuit.

Note:

The minimum allowed resistance on the TMIN pin, RTMIN is 10kΩ.

The related plot is shown in Figure 6-7.

The value of minimum duty cycle DMIN is determined by Equation 9.

Equation 9. UCC28950 UCC28951

where

  • FSW(osc) is oscillator frequency in kHz
  • TMIN is the minimum pulse in ns
  • and DMIN is in percent
