1.3.6 Baby Boost Design

To maintain holdup time and reduce bulk capacitance, a baby boost converter is added between the PFC and DC/DC as shown in the Figure 2-1. The baby boost converter is a compact boost converter that only operates during AC dropout events. During normal operation, the baby boost converter is off and bypassed by a MOSFET. When AC line dropout occurs, the Bypass FET turns off, baby boost converter turns on to ensure VBB maintains above the UVLO level for the isolated DC/DC converter. In order to minimize the magnetic dimension, the switching frequency of baby boost is set at 500KHz.
