7.3.6 Valley-Switching and Valley-Skipping

The UCC28730 utilizes valley-switching to reduce switching losses in the MOSFET, to reduce induced-EMI, and to minimize the turn-on current spike at the current-sense resistor. The controller operates in valley-switching in all load conditions unless the VDS ringing is diminished to the point where valleys are no longer detectable.

As shown in Figure 22, the UCC28730 operates in a valley-skipping mode (also known as valley-hopping) in most load conditions to maintain an accurate voltage or current regulation point and still switch on the lowest available VDS voltage.

UCC28730 val_skip_lusbl5.gifFigure 22. Valley-Skipping Mode

Valley-skipping modulates each switching cycle into discrete period durations. During FM operation, the switching cycles are periods when energy is delivered to the output in fixed packets, and the power delivered varies inversely with the switching period. During operating conditions when the switching period is relatively short, such as at high-load and low-line, the average power delivered per cycle varies significantly based on the number of valleys skipped between cycles. As a consequence, valley-skipping adds additional low-amplitude ripple voltage to the output with a frequency dependent upon the rate of change of the bulk voltage. For a load with an average power level between that of cycles with fewer valleys skipped and cycles with more valleys skipped, the voltage-control loop modulates the control law voltage and toggles between longer and shorter switching periods to match the required average output power.
