7.3.3 On-Time Control, Maximum Frequency Limiting, and Restart Timer

Gate-drive on-time varies proportionately with the error-amplifier output voltage by a factor called KT (in units of μs/V), as shown in Equation 3.

Equation 3. UCC28063

Where:

  • VCOMP is the output voltage of the error amplifier and 125 mV is a modulator offset voltage.

The maximum output of the error amplifier is limited to 4.95 V. This value, minus the 125-mV modulator offset, limits maximum on-time as determined by Equation 4.

Equation 4. UCC28063

This on-time limit sets the maximum power that can be delivered by the converter at a given input voltage.

At lower power, one boost channel (phase) may be turned off to achieve efficiency benefits (see Phase Management section, below). To provide a smooth transition between two-phase and single-phase operation, KT increases by a factor of two in single-phase mode:

Equation 5. UCC28063

The maximum switching frequency of each phase is limited by minimum-period timers. If inductor current decays to zero before the minimum-period timer elapses, the next turn-on will be delayed, resulting in discontinuous phase current.

A restart timer ensures starting under all circumstances by restarting both phases if the ZCD input of either phase has not transitioned from high-to-low within approximately 200 µs. To prevent the circuit from operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM), the restart timer does not trigger turn-on until both phase-currents return to zero.

The on-time factors (KT, KTS) and the minimum switching period, T(MIN), are proportional to the time-setting resistor RTSET (the resistor from the TSET pin to ground), and these factors can be calculated by Equation 5, Equation 6 and Equation 7:

Equation 6. UCC28063
Equation 7. UCC28063

The proper value of RTSET will result in the clamped maximum on-time, TON(max), required by the converter operating at the minimum input line voltage and maximum load.
