Dear all
I have a flyback design using UCC24630 as secondary-side rectifier, which at startup shows a quick overshoot near 30V (vout nominal is 24V), a dangerous level for UCC24630.
I know I have to fix it in other ways, but my question is: Is it recommendable to make a simple zener supply (of 20V for instance) just for the controller, in order to protect the IC? I'm about to test it on the bench, but I'd like to listen to more opinions.
- The datasheet says on page 31 that it is good to have a small resistor in series with the VDD pin, but I believe this is not enough to protect it.
- I though about some sort of TVS, but a zener supply seems ok and should be easier to filter its output properly for the controller.
Thank you all
Best regards
