Hi everybody,
I'm currently designing a 150W Half Bridge SMPS with the UC28025 (with multiple outputs).I need a reference design for the Half Bridge SMPS either based on UC1825-series (1825, 2825 or 3825) or UC28025.
I'm having trouble designing the FB/EA-circuit around the IC from the opto coupler (voltage levels etc.).
Thanks.

CW,
Attached is a paper on the half bridge topology using a UC2825 and current mode control.
In addition i noticed a couple of things that are probably impacting the circuit performance. The first is that there is a sneek path in the feedback loop that will result in a higher gain than designed and probably some instability as a result. this is explained in a paper you can find at the link:

Because of the integrating nature of the feedback loop on the secondary side you might find that you run into Turn on Overshoot" which is discussed in the following paper:

And lastly the current mode controlled half bridge has a tendancy to go into oscillation due to imbalances and this and the solution is discussed in the following paper:

Hope these comments help

Hi John,
Thank you very much for your help! I will read this during the weekend and make the adjustments as soon as possible!
I'll get back to you if I have any questions!
Kind regards
CWilson.
