LM5022: About Demoboard PMP20551

Part Number: LM5022
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PMP20551

Hi,

    I saw the LM5022's demoboard PMP20551.

    the transformer turns ratio is 3:1, it means duty about 80%

    The general recognition is that the duty cycle of flyback is less than 50%.

    What is the problem with this design?


thanks,

    Hi Wu,

    Thank you for reaching out with your question.

    Typically flyback designs a configured to ensure that the duty cycle is not above 50%. However, the 50% duty cycle limit is no a requirement in all designs.

    If the duty cycle is greater than 50% the designer must consider a lower frequency RHP Zero and the addition of slope compensation. Designs with a duty cycle lower than 50% are less complicated to design. There is nothing wrong with PMP20551, the designer decided it made sense to operate a t a higher duty cycle for the application.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks,

    Garrett

    Hi Garrett,

    If the duty cycle is greater than 50% the designer must consider a lower frequency RHP Zero and the addition of slope compensation. <---Do you have any reference design for this condition compensation?

    thanks.

    Hi Wu,

    The application note below goes through the design procedures for a flyback that operates above 50% duty cycle
    www.ti.com/.../snva761.pdf

    The basic theory is to set the cross over frequency about 1/5th the RHP zero frequency. The slope compensation should be at least 1/2 the falling slope of the sensed transformer current.

    Thanks,

    Garrett

    Hi Garrett,

                      got it.

                      Another question is on PMP20551's circuit,What is the function of D6, R12, C18?

                     Is it compensation ?

    thanks.

    Hi Wu,

    These components just implement a secondary side soft-start of the output voltage. The RC slowly charges and the external reference will track the charging of the RC.

    Thanks,
