8.2.1 Design Requirements

When designing a half-bridge system, the key requirement is determining which functions should remain in the digital domain rather than the analog domain. The design shown in allows for a high degree of control over various blocks such as PWM, logic, error amplifier, current limit, and drivers. The UCD8220 closes the control loop for the power supply and provides the loop compensation. During operation, the UCD8220 monitors current and terminates the switching cycle safely if the value exceeds the current limit. By performing this task in the UCD8220, the device assists in real-time and full-time safety. The UCD8220 device provides notification of overcurrent events to the microcontroller. The notification of overcurrent events to the microcontroller allows the microcontroller to have a more complex response strategy. The firmware can, for example, direct the system to tolerate a finite number of current events, go to soft-stop, or shut down.
