UCC28750
is a fixed frequency controller under normal operating conditions, but modulates the
switching frequency and CS thresholds at higher and lighter loads, providing a
momentary boost of power for high loads and increased efficiency at light loads.The
frequency control law uses alternating amplitude and frequency modulating regions in
conjunction with an amplitude modulated current sense threshold to achieve
regulation at varying conditions.
There are five regions of operation,
referred to as section A-E in Figure 7-9 .
- Region A: This region is the
power boost region in which the frequency increased to the maximum of
130/200kHz (based on the device variant) and the current sense threshold is
fixed to the VCS(limit) of 900mV.
- Region B: This is the normal
operating region, where the switching frequency is fixed to 65/100kHz, but
the current sensing threshold is amplitude modulated to provide the
necessary power required by the application load.
- Region C: This is the
frequency foldback region, where the switching frequency and current sensing
threshold are being lowered, to accommodate lower power requirements and
lower switching losses.
- Region D, E: These two
regions are the burst mode operation of the controller. When the FB voltage
is lower than 1.2V,V3Burst, but higher than 1.1V, V4Stop, the controller
continues to switch but at the lowest current sensing threshold and
frequency. When the FB pin voltage is below V4Stop, the controller stops
switching operation. Without switching the FB pin rises as the output
voltage drops, and the controller resumes switching operation.
