The device incorporates dead-time programming. The synchronization output also provides dead-time information. The retry and soft-start duration scales with the oscillator clock frequency for high performance fault recovery. The UCC28089 also provides primary side under-voltage protection (UVLO), and over-current protection. Both the soft start and retry after fault durations scale with oscillator frequency for high performance. The turn-on/off UVLO thresholds are 10.5 V/8.0 V.

This feature set is ideal as a start-up controller for isolated power systems where the majority of control functions are performed on the secondary side. This device is especially useful for dc link for topologies such as the cascaded buck converter [1], ac link inverter topologies [2], and inexpensive modified square wave inverters. The UCC28089 has a brief 5 to 7 cycle leading-edge modulated soft-start cycle so that it will not interfere with secondary-side controlled soft start. Both systems with off-line self bias and auxiliary bias supplies are more fault tolerant with the UCC28089 because it consistently responds to a fault with a delay of at least 56 oscillator cycles before retry. Detailed Functional Description VDD: Power input connection for this device. Although quiescent VDD current is very low, total supply current is higher, depending on OUTA and OUTB current and the programmed oscillator frequency. During fault response, the current drops to a lower level because the oscillator is disabled. In order to avoid noise problems, position a 1-F ceramic bypass capacitor, connected from VDD to GND, as close to the chip as possible. The ceramic bypass capacitor is in addition to any energy storage capacitance that would be used to hold up the VDD voltage during start-up transients. GND: Ground pin. Analog signals reference this pin and output drivers return current through this pin. For best results, use this pin as a local ground point in a star ground configuration. OUTA and OUTB: Output drivers capable of sinking 1 A and sourcing 0.5 A. The output pulse alternates between OUTA and OUTB. In addition, a T latch forces the output pulses to alternate in order to reduce flux build up in a transformer during low duty ratio operation. Each output is capable of driving the gate of a power MOSFET. CT and DIS: Oscillator timing capacitor pin and timing capacitor discharge pin. The UCC28089 oscillator tracks VDD and GND internally in order to minimize oscillator frequency changes due to variations in the voltage of VDD. Figure 1 shows the oscillator block diagram.

Block Diagram for Oscillator 6 www.ti.com SLUS623 - SEPTEMBER 2004 APPLICATION INFORMATION The recommended oscillator frequency range is up to 1 MHz. In order to avoid noise issues, RA and RB should be small enough for the oscillator to have at least 10 A of current. There are two sets of oscillator programming equations that model the oscillator over its wide programming range. Measure the charge and the discharge times at the SYNC pin in order to avoid affecting the oscillator with probe impedances or output driver delays. The approximate first order equations in the table are adequate for switching frequencies below 50 kHz and/or discharge times that are greater than 1 s. The specific requirements for using the first order equations versus the second order equations are related to the timing capacitor size and the discharge resistor. Keep in mind that the 1st order equations and 2nd order equations are merely approximations that are typically within +/-20% of the actual operating point. The frequency, charge and discharge times are relatively insensitive to temperature but larger values of CT and RB exhibit the least sensitivity to temperature. Incidentally, the second order equations apply for the operating conditions that are in the Electrical Characteristics table. The oscillator frequency is set according to the following equations: Condition 1ST ORDER EQUATIONS 2ND ORDER EQUATIONS RA > 300 AND CT > 300pF 100 < RA < 300 OR 100pF < CT < 300pF TCHARGE 0.169 R ) R C A B T 0.175 R ) R C ) 40 pF ) 20 ns A B T TDISCHARGE 1.36 R C B T (1.37) R ) 44 C ) 14 pF ) 20 ns B T fOSC 5.9 RA ) 8.0 RBCT T CHARGE 1 )T DISCHARGE Where RA and RB are in Ohms; CT is in Farads; fOSC is in Hz; tCHARGE and tDISCHARGE are in seconds. The oscillator is optimized for a CT timing capacitor range from 100 pF to 1000 nF and RB more than 100 . If the shortest discharge time possible is desired, it is permissible to short DIS to CT for all recommended CT values (100 pF to 0.100 F). SYNC: This SYNC pin produces an output pulse from 0 to VDD that can be used to synchronize a secondary side-buck controller to the free running isolating power stage. The proper timing of this signal enables zero voltage switching on the primary side MOSFETs. The clean signal also solves a problem of getting a synchronization signal from the secondary side of the transformer, which can have leakage inductance voltage spikes that may cause false triggering. The SYNC pulse width is the oscillator discharge time, which is approximately equal to the dead time. Pulse frequency is the oscillator frequency. During fault conditions, the SYNC pulses are terminated and the SYNC output is held low for at least 56 oscillator cycles. During soft start, SYNC precedes the first output pulse by at least one oscillator cycle. CS: Connect the current sense device to this pin. A voltage threshold of 0.725 V triggers a shutdown sequence. An over-current fault triggers an immediate shutdown. After the fault clears, a total of 64 oscillator cycles are required for an entire soft start sequence to occur. First, the outputs and SYNC are kept OFF for at least 56 oscillator cycles. Next, after one or two SYNC pulses, the soft start progressively increases the output duty ratio over the next five to seven oscillator cycles. www.ti.com 7 SLUS623 - SEPTEMBER 2004 APPLICATION INFORMATION Using the UCC28089 as the Primary-Side start-up Controller in a Cascaded Push-Pull Buck Two-Stage Converter The cascaded push-pull topology is ideal for converting from moderate bus voltages, such as 48-V telecom buses, to sub 2-V output voltages. The general topology is shown in Figure 2 using the UCC28089 as the primary-side start-up controller and the UCC2540 as the secondary-side regulator [3]. + + VO 1.2 V VIN = 48 V - L.REG IN OUT 10 V RA UCC28089 CR1 CR2 1 SYNC VDD 8 RB CT 2 DIS OUTA 7 3 CT OUTB 6 4 CS GND 5 - COM UCC2540 1 ISET/SDSWS 20 2 REF BST 19 3 G2C G1 18 4 SYNCIN SW 17 5 RAMP VDD 16 6 GND PGND 15 7 VEA- G2 14 8 CEA- VDRV 13 9 COMP G2S 12 10 TR SS 11 UDG-04100 Figure 2. Cascaded Push-Pull Buck Two-Stage Converter 8 www.ti.com SLUS623 - SEPTEMBER 2004 APPLICATION INFORMATION Program the oscillator frequency of the UCC28089 to equal the desired switching frequency of the output post regulator. The secondary-side controller may also need corresponding switching frequency programming, such as RAMP and G2C capacitor values for the UCC2540. Program the dead time to be approximately 1/4 of the resonant period of the equivalent parasitic L-C circuit that is established by the primary leakage inductance of the transformer and the total drain-source capacitance of the primary-side power MOSFET transistors (COSS + stray capacitances). Remember that COSS predictably varies over input line voltage. If the variation is too great and/or 1/4 the resonant period is less than 100 ns, connect additional capacitance (CR1 and CR2 in Figure 2) between the drain and source of the primary transistors, which stabilizes the capacitance and raise the total capacitance value. If the secondary-side controller is compatible with pulse edges, the pulse edge transformer circuit in Figure 3 can provide an isolated pulse edge signal on the secondary side using a transformer core that is 6-mm diameter or less. The recommended transformer (COEV #MGBBT-0001101) is compatible with all switching frequencies and it is smaller than many opto-isolators.

Isolation and clamping the SYNC signal for Cascaded Buck Converters Notice that the peak-pulse voltage is proportional to the UCC28089 bias voltage. The circuit in Figure 3 is well suited to the full VDD bias voltage range of the UCC28089 bias voltage because it has a clamp circuit. The clamp circuit in Figure 3 (RCB, RBE and QCL) is a VBE clamp rather than a Zener diode. A VBE clamp is used here because it has much lower capacitance than typical Zener diodes so that the clamp does not affect the narrow 50-ns pulse width. The clamp may be replaced by a single resistor in applications, as in Figure 2, where the VDD bias voltage of the UCC28089 is regulated within a +/-5% window. www.ti.com 9 SLUS623 - SEPTEMBER 2004 APPLICATION INFORMATION Synchronization of Multiple UCC28089 Controllers to an External Signal In systems where multiple UCC28089 parts need to be synchronized to a common clock, a 3.3-V logic-level signal can be directly applied to the CT pin (the SYNC pin on UCC28089 only provides output sync signals). As shown in Figure 4, the externally supplied sync pulse width determines the frequency and the dead time between OUT A and OUT B. In this configuration, the discharge pin DIS should be grounded since it is not used. The external sync signal should exceed the oscillator trip level of VDD/5 when high, and pull CT below VDD/20 when low.

Compatible loads include universal motors, incandescent lamps, and other electronic devices with switched mode power supplies to convert the 110-VAC to lower dc voltages. Many of these devices do not require a perfect sinusoidal line voltage, and acceptable performance can be obtained with a modified square wave voltage. Using the circuit in Figure 5, the UCC28089 can provide the appropriate waveform along with primary side over-current protection.
