ADVANCE INFORMATION
As shown in Figure 6-4, once the boundary of 1st valley QR operation is reached with increasing output power, the control clamps IPK to the maximum selected value IPK,MAX, and begins to reduce the secondary conduction time TOFF in CCM mode. This reduction in TOFF is proportional to increase in FB pin voltage, till 50% of the QR mode off-time to reach 1.5x the QR mode output power delivery capability. Care needs to be taken to use a primary magnetizing inductance LM large enough to not hit the frequency clamp and avoid any subharmonic oscillations which could increase output voltage ripple, depending on application requirements. For long duration output power transients, the converter returns to 1st valley QR mode after expiry of the 4ms CCM timer and continues to deliver the largest possible output power at the transition point of QR and CCM modes, while operating in QR mode. The device offers flexibility to enable/disable CCM mode operation with a resistor from the CDX pin to GND as per values in Table 6-4.
