UB3846 linear integrated circuit unisonic technologies co., ltd 5 of 10 www.unisonic.com.tw qw-r103-053.c ? operation description the utc uc3846 devices integrate many useful designs into one controller for low-power switch-mode power supplies. the following descriptions highlig ht some of the f eatures of the utc UB3846 series. start-up current the start-up current is only 22 a. low start-up current allows a start- up resistor with a high resistance and a low-wattage to supply the start-up power for the controller. for ac/dc adaptor with universal input range design, a 1 m ? , 1/8 w startup resistor could be used together with a v dd capacitor to provide a fast startup and low power dissipation solution. power-saving mode operation the proprietary power-saving mode function provides li nearly decrease the switching frequency under light-load conditions for higher efficiency. the feedback voltage, which is sampled from the voltage feedback loop, is taken as the reference. once the feedback voltage exceeds the thres hold voltage, the switching fr equency starts to decrease. this power-saving mode function dramatically reduce s power consumption under light-load conditions. the frequency control also eliminates the audio noise at any loading conditions. burst mode operation at zero load condition, majority of the power dissipation in a switching mode power supply is from switching loss on the mosfet transistor, the core loss of the transformer and the loss on the snubber circuit. the magnitude of power loss is in proportion to the number of switching events within a fixed period of time. reducing switching events leads to the reduction on the power loss and thus conserves the energy. the utc UB3846 enter burst mode at standby condition to minimize the switching loss and redu ces the standby power consum ption. the frequency control also eliminates the audio noise at any load ing conditions. power supplies using the utc UB3846 can easily meet even the strictest regulations regar ding standby power consumption. switch frequency set the maximum switch frequency is set to 68khz. switch frequency is modulated by output power p out during ic operating. at no load or light load cond ition, most of the power dissipation in a switching mode power supply is from switching loss on the mosfet transisto r, the core loss of the transformer and the loss on the subber circuit. the magnitude of power loss is in proportion to the number of sw itching events within a fixed period of time. so lower switch frequency at lower load, which more and more improve ic?s efficiency at light load. at from no load to light load condition, the ic will operate at from burst m ode to reducing frequency mode. the relation curve between f sw and p out /p out (max) as followed fig.1. fig.1 the relation curve between f sw and relative output power p out / p out (max)
UB3846 linear integrated circuit unisonic technologies co., ltd 6 of 10 www.unisonic.com.tw qw-r103-053.c ? operation description(cont.) frequency hopping for emi improvement the frequency hopping is implemented in the ic; there are tw o oscillators built-in the ic. the first oscillator is to set the normal switching frequency; the switching frequency is modulated with a period signal generated by the 2nd oscillator. the relation between the fi rst oscillator and the 2nd oscillator as followed fig.2. so the tone energy is evenly spread out, the spread spectrum minimizes the conduction band emi and therefor e eases the system design in meeting stringent emi requirement. fig.2 frequency hopping built-in slope compensation built-in slope compensation circuit adds voltage ramp ont o the current sense input voltage for pwm generation, this greatly improves the close loop st ability at ccm and prevents the sub-harmo nic oscillation and thus reduces the output ripple voltage. leading-edge blanking each time the power mosfet is switched on, a turn-on spik e will inevitably occur at the sense-resistor. to avoid premature termination of the switching pulse, a 400ns leading-edge blanking time is built in. conventional rc filtering can therefore be omitted. during this blanking period, the curr ent-limit comparator is disabled and it cannot switch off the gate driver. constant output power limit when the sense voltage, across the sense resistor r s , reaches the threshold voltage, around 0.8v, the output gate drive will be turned off after a small propagation delay t d . this propagation delay will introduce an additional current proportional to t d v in /lp. since the propagation delay is nearly co nstant regardless of the input line voltage v in . higher input line voltage will result in a larger additional current and hence the output power limit is also higher than that under low input line vo ltage. to compensate this variation for wi de ac input range, the threshold voltage is adjusted by the v in current. since v in pin is connected to the rectified i nput line voltage through a resistor r vin , a higher line voltage will generate higher v in current into the v in pin. the threshold volt age is decreased if the v in current is increased. smaller threshold voltage, forces the output gate drive to termi nate earlier, thus reduce the total pwm turn-on time and make the output power equal to that of low line input. this proprietary internal compensation ensures a constant output power limit for wide ac input voltage from 90vac to 264vac. under voltage lockout (uvlo) the turn-on and turn-off thresholds of the utc UB3846 are fixed internally at 14. 2v/8.2v. during start-up, the hold-up capacitor must be charged to 14.2v th rough the start-up resist or, so that the utc UB3846 will be enabled. the hold-up capacitor will continue to supply v dd until power can be delivered from the auxiliary winding of the main transformer. v dd must not drop below 8.2v during th is start-up process. this uvlo hysteresis window ensures that hold-up capacitor will be adequate to supply v dd during start-up. gate output the utc UB3846 output stage is a fast totem pole gate driver . cross conduction has been avoided to minimize heat dissipation, increase efficiency, and enhance reliability. a good tradeoff is ac hieved through dead time control. the low idle loss and good emi system design is easier to ac hieve with this dedicated control scheme. an internal 18v clamp is added for mosfet gate protection at higher than expected v dd input.
