UCC25660: UCC25660/UCC25661 TSET pin timer gain calculation.

Part Number: UCC25660

Tool/software:

The IPCC parameters calculation need to know kt.

From datasheet and calculator, we can know that kt is timer gain and influenced by TSET pin resistors. But how should we calculate it?

  • Hi Carlo,

    Option 1 only applies to the UCC256616, for all other variants, use option 2. 

    Based on you selection for the integrator time constant, the excel calculator will recommend the correct resistor values. 

    I hope this answers your question. 

  • Hi Jchk

    Thanks for replying. I really want to know how the timer gain kt is calculated, because the calculator only provides calculated values. Does it have a clear calculation formula?

  • HI Carlo,

    Unfortunately no. I checked and the excel calculator is using a lookup table to select the kt value. 

    I would have to check to see if we can share how this is calculated.

  • I appreciate that. Cause we want to provide customers with a detailed calculation plan.

  • Hi Carlo,

    I will see what I can find. 

    Regards,

    John

  • Hi JCHK,

    One more thing, is the Vcm's value mentioned in the data sheet? I can't find it.

  • Hi Carlo,

    VCM is the internal common mode reference for the device here you can see it used for ISNS and how it does the IPOLARITY detection.:

    I am still checking on how kt is calculated, but suspect we will not be able to share this. 

  • Hi Carlo,

    Sorry for the delay. I don't have the detailed derivation, but here are the kt values as a function of the TSET option chosen:

    TSET Option No.  TSET Voltage (V) Minimum Frequency for IPPC operation (kHz) Integrator Time Constant (ns) Maximum Dead-Time (µs) kt

    I hope this answers your question.
