UCC28950 timing ckt

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCC28950

Hello,

My customer is having a question about the timing ckt of UCC28950

The particular application is sensitive to wide frequency variations, so I am attempting to determine the worst case frequency range.

In particular I reviewed the datasheet (SLUSA16B - http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ucc28950.pdf) and equation 10 is used to ‘set’ the frequency.

A few questions:

1)      The equation appears to be an estimation of a more detailed equation. Can you provide any details on this equation (block diagrams, detailed equations, etc..)

2)      The equation that is present in the datasheet does not have consistent units. Because of this I cannot determine if the “+1” in the denominator should have precedence over the “x kOhms/V”. In other words, should the equation follow normal mathematical precedence (multiplication prior to addition)?

Thank you very much!

  • Hi there,

    the equation is giving me the correct result the way it is, with "1 x kOhm/V" added to the other part of the denominator.

    If you want to make it consistent in unit (for example to use in mathcad), just add "kohm/V * kHz" at numerator, as in the figure below
