Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCC28600
hi guys,
i have schematic is using UCC28742 with non isolated output
i am not able to understand the design for the feedback using current mirror circuit
i cant understand R18,R14 AND C12 have arrived

The transistors Q2 and Q3 are used to mimic the behavior of an optocoupler. UCC28742 is optimized for isolated designs where an optocoupler is used in the feedback. One of the ways it's optimized is that it connects directly to the output of an optocoupler, which is a current source. Since this design is not isolated, Q2 and Q3 are there to convert the feedback voltage signal to a current signal so it can properly interface with UCC28742.
To better understand how the components around these transistors, such as R18, R14 and C12 are derived we recommend you review the following collateral

I am not clear if you are asking a question. The following additional collateral should help you derive the equations you need

Hi,
how do we decide the start up time for the converter as soft start we will keep rc circuit what is the usual time constant .
Abhishek
The startup time is determined by how long it takes for VDD voltage to get to VVDD(on) VDD turn-on threshold, which is 21.6V typical. The time that it charges depends on what the voltage on the DC bulk is, what the startup resistance (R1, R3, R4) is and what the VDD capacitance is (C9, C10). You can use normal RC charging equation Vdd=Vbulk(1-e(-t/RC)), where R is the startup resistance and C is the VDD capacitance.
After this occurs, the regular startup sequence described in 7.3.6 (page 19) of the UCC28742 datasheet starts.

Eric
