UCC28950 datasheet page 59 equation 169

The calculation mentions the mmag = 400*47/(2.76e-03*100) = 7mV/us but should it be 68mV/us?

  • Hi Bharath,

    The apps engineer for this product will be back in the office on Monday and I will ask him to review the calculations.

  • Hello Bharath

    Yes, you are correct. We made a mistake and dropped a factor of ten when drawing up the datasheet and the correct slope provided by the magnetizing current is indeed 68mV/us. This means that the magnetizing current actually provides most of the slope compensation needed and the value of RSUM should be re-calculated. However, a word of caution here - the magnetizing current slope is calculated at 400V in this example. At minimum input voltage - let's say around 260V - where the duty cycle is greatest and the amount of slope compensation needed is also greatest the magnetizing current will provide significantly less slope compensation. We didn't worry about that in the DS example because, although the variation in the slope of the magnetizing current is present, it was very small in relation to the total slope compensation ramp needed and we didn't worry about it.

    I've made a note to correct this in an upcoming version of the DS -

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    Regards
