UCC2897A: What is ENABLE signal / When does switching start

Ella KIM

Part Number: UCC2897A

Hello Team,

In the datasheet p12, what's ENABLE waveform referring to?

As per description in datasheet below, PWM pulse will be inactive during the standby mode (I understand 'standby mode' is referring to the period that VDD is repeating charging and discharging by JFET). But as per figure 19, PWM pulse is active in accordance to ENABLE, even during the standby mode period.

Could you please clarify when PWM pulse starts to appear?

Thank you.

Hi,

It is an internal signal and showing to indicate when the IC is enabled and when not enabled.

Hi Hong,

Thank you for the information. Can I expect the duration of the first ENABLE period and the duration of OFF period before IC is ENABLEed again? Is it internally designed, or depending on the external operating condition?

Hi,

The diagram shows enable in relation with other signals. If other signals keep the same, then enable will keep the same. Yes, enable is controlled by the show external signals (the top two for the first enable). The first enable off is due to SS pull down.
