UCC28750: Ripples on FLT input

Part Number: UCC28750

Tool/software:

Hello,
I want to replace a FAN6602 with a UCC287502 on a 300W 24Vdc flyback power supply. The primary voltage is supplied by a PFC, and the controller supply voltage is provided by another small auxiliary flyback. I've done the first tests and the results are pretty good: the regulation stability is correct whatever the load, and there's no overshoot at start-up.
However, I'm having problems detecting overtemperature on the FLT input. It seems to activate between 15 and 20°C below the theoretical threshold. After some investigation, I noticed low-frequency ripples on this input. I increased the filtering (C50 to 100nF), which lowered the amplitude of the ripple. 100nF seems to be the limit, beyond which the power supply won't start... I haven't seen any similar instability on the other inputs of the circuit. I enclose part of the schematic and a view of the voltage on FLT.
Do you have any idea of the origin of this problem and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance

Thierry

  • Hi Thierry,

    Thank you for reaching out on the UCC28750.

    Ideally the UC28750 just requires a NTC to be interfaced with the fault pin. I have not seen any capacitor required here.

    Can you check if this low frequency oscillation is coupled through the input? Looks like it is 100hz maybe from primary side GND?? Are you using isolated AC supply? Second possibly which I suspect less could be oscillation from feedback loop.

    Regards,
