Resonant power supply control IC with PFC
Switching of the power factor correction circuit is inhibited as soon as the voltage on the
SNSBOOST pin rises above V
ovp(SNSBOOST)
. PFC switching resumes as soon as
V
SNSBOOST
drops below V
ovp(SNSBOOST)
again.
Overvoltage protection will also be triggered in the event of an open circuit at the resistor
connected between SNSBOOST and ground.
7.7.10 PFC short circuit/open-loop protection, SCP/OLP-PFC (pin SNSBOOST)
The power factor correction circuit will not start switching until the voltage on the
SNSBOOST pin rises above V
scp(SNSBOOST)
. This acts as short circuit protection for the
boost voltage (SCP-boost).
The SNSBOOST pin draws a small input current I
prot(SNSBOOST)
. If this pin gets
disconnected, the residual current will pull down V
SNSBOOST
, triggering short circuit
protection (SCP-boost). This combination creates an open-loop protection (OLP-PFC).
7.8 HBC controller
The HBC controller converts the 400 V boost voltage from the PFC into one or more
regulated DC output voltages and drives two external MOSFETS in a half-bridge
configuration connected to a transformer. The transformer, which has a leakage
inductance and a magnetizing inductance, forms the resonant circuit in combination with
the resonant capacitor and the load at the output. The regulation is realized via frequency
control.
7.8.1 HBC high-side and low-side driver (pin GATEHS and GATELS)
Both drivers have identical driving capability. The output of each driver is connected to the
equivalent gate of an external high-voltage power MOSFET.
The low-side driver is referenced to pin PGND and is supplied from SUPREG.
The high-side driver is floating. The reference for the high-side driver is pin HB, connected
to the midpoint of the external half-bridge. The high-side driver is supplied from SUPHS
which is connected to the external bootstrap capacitor C
SUPHS
. The bootstrap capacitor is
charged from SUPREG via external diode D
SUPHS
when the low-side MOSFET is on.
7.8.2 HBC boost undervoltage protection, UVP-boost (pin SNSBOOST)
The voltage on the SNSBOOST pin is sensed continuously to prevent the HBC controller
trying to operate at very low boost input voltages. Once V
SNSBOOST
drops below
V
uvp(SNSBOOST),
HBC switching stops the next time GATELS goes HIGH. HBC switching
resumes as soon as V
SNSBOOST
rises above V
start(SNSBOOST).
7.8.3 HBC switch control
HBC switch control determines when the MOSFETs switch on and off. It uses the output
from several other blocks.
• A divider is used to realize alternate switching of the high- and low-side MOSFETs for
each oscillator cycle. The oscillator frequency is twice the half-bridge frequency.
• The controlled oscillator determines the switch-off point.
• Adaptive non-overlap time sensing determines the switch-on point. This is the
adaptive non-overlap time function.
