Check the HV pin. Rectified AC or
DC voltage should be available depending on the IC version.
Check the VCC voltage. It needs
to reach 26 V, to enable the RVCC. In case of UCC256403/403A VCC needs to reach
10.9 V to enable the RVCC. When BLK input reaches BLKStart threshold, softstart
will be initiated.
Check the RVCC voltage, it should start when VCC reaches 26 V (10.9V for
UCC256403/403A), and should stay at 13-V constant. If RVCC goes up and down
every 1s, it means that there is a fault condition.
For the fault identification, check the BLK, ISNS, and BW pins for input voltage
OVP and undervoltage protection (UVP), overcurrent protection (OCP), output OVP
protections. Also check VCC and RVCC voltages for undervoltage protections.
Check gate pulses. A typical LO
pulse of 265 us is an indicator of system restart.
Check FB pin voltage. If the FB pin is pulled low, the system will not start
switching.
