7.3.1 Input Power Proportional Control

The previous generation of TI LLC controllers use a version of Charge Control called Hysteretic Hybrid control (HHC). An improved version of the HHC, called Input Power Proportional Control (IPPC) is used in the UCC25660 LLC controller. Compared to traditional Direct Frequency Control, where the control signal is proportional to the switching frequency, traditional charge control methods deliver faster transient response while simplifying compensator design as the power stage transfer function becomes a first order system. In traditional Charge Control, the control signal is determined by both input current and switching frequency. IPPC significantlly reduces the control signals dependency on switching frequency, thereby minimizing the impact of input and output voltage variations.

IPPC brings in the following advantages:

  • Makes control signal proportional to input power.
  • Consistent burst mode and over load performance in wide LLC (WLLC) operation application.
  • Retains faster load transient performance and improves line transient performance.

The UCC25660 measures the resonant tank current on the ISNS pin through an external differentiator formed by capacitor CISNS and resistor RISNS. The voltage on the ISNS pin is integrated in the VCR synthesizer block to form an internal VCR signal VCR_synth.

The VCR Synthesizer block applies feed forward gain based on the BLK pin voltage, applies ramp compensation to generate the compensated internal VCR signal.

The compensated internal VCR signal is then compared with two sets of thresholds to control the high side switch turn-off (VTH) and low side switch turn-off (VTL). The thresholds VTH and VTL are generated from the internal control signal FBReplica and the high-side and low-side switch on-time from the previous half switching cycle. During the soft start, the VTH and VTL thresholds are generated based on the internal soft start ramp. This is used to minimize the resonant tank inrush current during startup.

In the waveform below, the high-side and low-side switches are controlled based on the internal VCR signal and comparator thresholds VTH and VTL. When the VCR is higher than VTH, the high-side switch is turned off and when VCR is lower than VTL, the low-side switch is turned off.

The comparator thresholds VTH and VTL can be calculated using the equations below.

Equation 1. VTH=VCM+k*FBReplica*Tsw/2
Equation 2. VTL=VCM-k*FBReplica*Tsw/2
Equation 3. VTH-VTL =∆VCR= k*FBReplica*Tsw
