Hi,
I have used UC38086 pwm controller to design a pushpull conveter. While doing the short circuit test, the ic is not going to hiccup mode and input power is taking on output short circuit. Can you suggest a soultion?

Aswathy,
Thanks for connecting through E2E. It is an excellent forum for Engineers to learn from each other and it works best when problems and recommended solutions are stated as clearly as possible. TI appreciates and values every thread entry into E2E but yours needs more information to benefit yourself and others who visit E2E. Your question can only be answered with more questions:

Hi Steve,
Please see comments below
I have tried tuning, Rsense, RC of CS pin, Iset pin resistor & CTRL pin resistor, output inductor. Then, also IC is not going to hiccup mode on short circuit. Do you have any suggestions on these values? Which is the most critical Item among these, to make the short circuit work?

Aswathy,
You have not provided any waveforms, so I can only make "best guesses" what might be happening? It sounds like the current is folding back into a power limit. If you are referring to "hiccup mode" as try/retry after a number of counted clock cycles, I don't believe UCC38086 has this feature? Please see attached for help.

Steve
