UCC28910: Voltage drops and voltage fluctuation while connected to load

Part Number: UCC28910

Hello,

We made our design as per UCC28910 reference design. We want to 5v 1amp outout but when we connect load with smps voltage fluctuations and voltage drops down. We make some changes with respect to original design to get 5V 1amp output. Changes are listed below.

D4 : schottky diode SSC54 instead MBRS3100

D2 : Diode BAV21W-FDICT-ND instead BAS21HT1G

R4: Resistor 22ohm instead 2.2ohm

R6 : Resistor 36K instead 43K

R7 : Resistor 910K instead 620K

R8 : Resistor 62K instead 82K
R8 : Resistor 15K instead 22ohm
R10: Resistor 3.9K instead Not connected  
C4 : Capacior 4.7uF instead 10uF
C5 : Capacitor 470uf instead 330uF
C6 : Capacitor 470uf instead 330uF
C7: Capacitor 1000pF instead 0.1uF
We added 33pF capacitor between GND and Drain (Pin no 8) of UCC28910 IC
I have attached reference design and also our design. Please help us to get steady output.tidrco2_Reference Design.pdf

 

  • Hi,

    In your schematic, the output electrolytic capacitors appear to be backwards. If you intended to have a negative output on pin 1 of P2, then the polarity of the output capacitors are wrong, and can be the cause of your issue.

    If you intended a positive output on pin 1 of P2, then both the diode D4 and the winding polarity of the fly-back transformer is backwards.

    Please check your circuit for these issues and that any other components are installed properly.
  • Hi again,

    There is an Evaluation Module featuring the UCC28910 with a universal input and provides a 5V,6W output like what you are trying to do that I will link to below. I recommend ordering the evaluation module and copying that design.

  • Hi DavitKhudaverdyan,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Sorry I attached old schematic by mistake. Earlier we faced that problem as you said in your comment then we changed our circuit. Now our circuit is same as you said but the problem is as it is, voltage drop down and voltage fluctuation while connected to load. What is the solution for that, your suggestions are valuable for us.

    Thank you. 

  • Hi Agile2 Agile2,

    It may be that your board is hitting over-voltage protection (OVP). OVP is reached if the voltage sample on the VS pin exceeds 4.6V. This can occur any time from tLK_RESET  all the way to tSMPL. If this happens then the device stops switching and reduces current consumption to IFAULT, slowly discharging the VDD capacitor down to the High Voltage on threshold. Following that the standard startup procedure starts again.

    The voltage sample on the VS pin has some requirements for reliable operation, including the reset time of the leakage inductance and the duration of any subsequent leakage inductance ring. Following tLK_RESET, the peak-to-peak voltage at the VS pin should be less than approximately 100 mVp-p at least 200ns before the end of the demagnetization time, tDMAG.

    Our UCC28910EVM User Guide includes waveforms for what the switching signal should look like:

    The green waveform is the IPK voltage and the blue waveform is the drain voltage. The drain voltage and auxiliary winding voltage should look the same except for the voltage levels, where the auxiliary winding will have a lower voltage from the transformer coupling.

    Please take some waveforms of your auxiliary winding to see if this is occurring.

    I recommend taking a look at the UCC28910EVM as it supports the same specifications that you are looking for.
