7.3.6 Phase Management and Light-Load Operation

Under light-load conditions, switching losses may dominate over conduction losses and efficiency may be improved if one phase (channel) is turned off. At a certain power level, the reduction of switching losses is greater than the increase in conduction losses. Turning off one phase at light load is especially valuable for meeting light-load efficiency standards. This is one of the major benefits of interleaved PFC and it is especially valuable for meeting 80+ design requirements.

The PHB input can be used to force the UCC28063 to operate in single-phase mode. When PHB is driven below 0.8 V, channel B will stop switching and channel A on-time will automatically double to compensate. The device will resume dual-phase mode when PHB is raised above 1.0 V. For customized phase management, an external circuit can detect the conditions for switching to single-phase operation and drive PHB accordingly. To operate continuously in two-phase mode (normal mode) when phase management is not desired, simply connect PHB to VREF.

As load current decreases, the error amplifier commands less ac-line input current by lowering COMP voltage. In applications where the ac-line is limited to the low-voltage range only, it may be advantageous to connect PHB directly to COMP to allow automatic selection of single-phase operation without additional external circuitry.
