UCC256302: Dual output Unstable waveform

Part Number: UCC256302

Hi Ben-san,

Same customer another problem.

They want to know unstable waveform reason.

Please review the attached pdf and comment on this.

  • Ben will reply to you.
  • HI Doi-san,

    For the test conditions where you see the peak resonant current is oscillating, can you measure the current coming out of the FB pin? You can do this by removing R21, install a 10kΩ resistor at R32 and measure the voltage across R32. Also check if the VCR pin peak to peak ripple is changing cycle to cycle when at steady state.

    The changes you listed in 3.2 of the PDF are reasonable and I do not anticipate any negative side effects from the changes you listed.

    The waveform in 4.1 looks like burst mode. The burst pattern is a little uneven but is otherwise acceptable

    If you do see oscillation in the FB pin current, this would indicate some adjustment to the compensation network is necessary.

    Best Regards,

  • Hi Ben-san,

    We measured the FB pin current waveform of the instruction and the ripple waveform of the VCR terminal and attach them.
     
    Please check the data and tell us the problems, countermeasures and so on.

  • Hi Doi-san,

    I think some adjustment to the compensation will help the oscillation. Try increasing C28 to 82nF and add 470pF at C29. If you are able to take a loop measurement, it would also be helpful for suggesting compensation values.

  • Hi Ben-san,

    My customer found that this waveform problem is Infineon SR problem.
    It is broken by some hard tests.
    He changed it new one.
    The waveform became good.

    I want to introduce UCC24634 but some trouble happened at another customer.
    It is written in the UCC24643 sled.
