Hi,
Kindly suggest a scheme for a 360 Watt power supply with input as 230V +/-15% and output of 24V , 15 amps

I have built the reference design, but using 3200 V as my output, and scaling the feedback values to match my new output circuit.
But I have a question.
The PWM UCC3895 controller activates phase A and C together and phase B and D together (according to the data sheet Figure 14 "output A - D").
But referring to the reference design PMP9622A Schematic, phase A and C are both on the RAC drive side of the transformer primary, and B and D are on the low side of the transformer primary.
This does not make any sense at all, there will never be a complete circuit across the T2 transformer primary.
I do assume all of the driver circuits open the DS of Q1, Q3, Q8 and Q10 are open circuits when the drive voltage to their gates are 0V.
I have not done so yet, but I believe phase C and D are reversed.
By swapping phase phase C and D at the controller chip outputs pins 14 and 15, the correct phase relationship will be presented to the drives and level shifting circuits and the correct complete circuits will be presented to the transformer through the driver circuits.
Please advise ASAP.
My employer is very upset with the time to market.
I have also had a lot of issues with the U7/T5 output voltages, the circuit runs at full speed then after a few seconds it goes into a pulsed form with a few cycles then a 15X timed pause, then repeats the sequence.
I just wanted to keep you all updated on the project.
The reference design does not function as designed, it is bogus.
The sub power system does not supply enough current to drive the circuits it was intended to drive, bogus. The HEXFET driver circuits do not supply the proper isolation of current to the PWM controller chip and it blows up the chip during startup.
I had three engineers other than myself look at the design and all agree it is not good, bogus.
Whomever designed the circuit should be fired at least take the reference design off of the web completely.
I found many other designs which do work.
Not this one.
Wasted 4 months on trying to get this bogus design to work.
Moved over to IR controller chips which worked first time out of the gate.
I do not understand why TI has no controls to verify reference designs before they are published.
BTW the Altium designed PCB layouts supplied were not complete, they required many hours of corrections to be able to produce them to boards.
