How to control the valley switching  330pf 1A--00000.pdf

  • Hi,

      You can refer to data sheet "7.3.2 Valley-Switching and Valley-Skipping" of UCC28740 to know how it work. Basically, in fly back converter, it store the energy in On-Period. deliver the energy to output in Off-Period. When you work in CV. It should be maintain the output voltage by store energy again before Off-Period output voltage drop to out of specification. Before that, "valley switching" will be choice from Pin_VS(Pin2).

    So, the valley switching is decided by the main regulated output voltage/current. You can refer to your waveform, I guess the voltage/current of main regulated should be changed. So the frequency is change too.

  • Hi Baskaran,

    You can either modify the current sensing resistor value, or transformer inductance to adjust the valley switching point. Please note that UCC28740 controller is designed to operate at discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM). Thus, you will have to make sure at minimum input voltage and maximum load, the converter is still operated under DCM.
