6.3.5 Oscillator and Voltage Feed-Forward

TPS40170-Q1 device implements an oscillator with input-voltage feed-forward compensation that enables instant response to input voltage changes. Figure 6-4 shows the oscillator timing diagram for the TPS40170-Q1 device. The resistor from the RT pin to GND sets the free-running oscillator frequency. Voltage VRT on the RT pin is made proportional to the input voltage (see Equation 5).

  • K = 15

The resistor at the RT pin sets the current in the RT pin. The proportional current charges an internal 100-pF oscillator capacitor. The ramp voltage on this capacitor is compared with the RT pin voltage, VRT. Once the ramp voltage reaches VRT, the oscillator capacitor is discharged. The ramp that is generated by the oscillator (which is proportional to the input voltage) acts as voltage feed-forward ramp to be used in the PWM comparator.

The time between the start of the discharging oscillator capacitor and the start of the next charging cycle is fixed at 170 ns (typical). During the fixed discharge time, the PWM output is maintained as OFF. This is the minimum OFF-time of the PWM output.
