About the function of TL2842B.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TL2842B

Hello!

I use the TL2842B with the fly-back circuit.
The composition of the current detection circuit is equal to Fig-2 in the TL2842B datasheet.
The VFB-pin is connected to GND.
The COMP-pin connects the phototransistor through the 100Ω.
(The emitter of the phototransistor is connected to GND.)

An intermittent oscillation has been generated at a light load.
However, when the 100Ω is connected between Rf/Cf and ISENS-pin of Fig-2,intermittent oscillation is improved.

Can you explain this phenomenon?
I was not able to do.
And,is this good method?

Could you please help me?

Best regards.
Masahiro

  • Hello Masahiro,

    When you say "the" 100 ohm resistor, did you move the 100 ohm to pin 2 (Isense) and now have no resistor (0 ohms) between pin 1 (comp) and the phototransistor?

    That change probably did not change the phase margin of the control loop much; you are likely just marginally stable at this point.

    I suggest changing the frequency compensation of the output side of the optocoupler.

  • Hello! Ron,

    100 ohms are connected with both COMP and ISENS.
    Could you see the following connection diagrams?


    I'm sorry in longhand.

    How do you think by seeing this connection diagram?

    I want to know the reason that an intermittent oscillation improved.

    Best regards.

  • The resistor will drop a voltage proportional to the input bias current, but this will be less than 1mV.

    I do not understand how that insignificant shift in operating point would prevent an oscillation.
