PRODUCTION DATA
In the UCC28063, the PWMCNTL pin can be used to coordinate the PFC stage with a downstream converter. Through the HVSEN pin, the PFC output voltage is monitored. A 12-μA current source (IHV_HYS) is enabled as long as the output voltage remains below a programmed threshold. When the output voltage exceeds that threshold, PWMCNTL pin is pulled to ground internally and can be used to enable a downstream converter. At the same time the current source is disabled, providing hysteresis for a lower threshold at which the downstream converter should be turned off. The enable/disable hysteresis is adjusted through the HVSEN voltage-divider ratio and resistor values. The HVSEN pin is also used for the FailSafe over-voltage protection (OVP). When designing the voltage divider, make sure this FailSafe OVP level is set above normal VSENSE OVP levels.
Because there are two thresholds associated with the HVSEN input detected through a single resistor divider, the PWMCNTL turn-off voltage, VPWM-OFF, is linked to the FailSafe OVP voltage, VFLSF_OV, as shown by Equation 14:
Choosing either one first arbitrarily determines the other, so a trade-off may be necessary. The PWMCNTL turn-on voltage, VPWM-ON, is programmed by choosing the upper divider resistor value in consideration with the HVSEN hysteresis current, as shown in Equation 15 and Equation 16. The lower divider resistor is then calculated as shown in Equation 17.
