8.3.6.1 VCC, VB, VBG and Advanced PWM Startup

The VCC pin connects to the auxiliary bias supply for the DC-DC controller. The switching MOSFET gate driver draws current directly from the VCC pin. VB and VBG outputs are regulated down from VCC voltage, the former providing power to the internal control circuitry and external feedback optocoupler (when in use), and the latter providing power to the switching FET gate predriver circuit. A startup current source from VDD to VCC implements the converter bootstrap startup. VCC must receive power from an auxiliary source, such as an auxiliary winding on the flyback transformer, to sustain normal operation after startup.

The startup current source is turned on during the inrush phase, charging CVCC and maintaining its voltage, and it is turned off only after the DC-DC soft-start cycle has been completed, which occurs when the DC-DC converter has ramped up its output voltage and VSST has exceed approximately 2.1 V (VSTUOF), as shown in Figure 8-1. Internal loading on VCC, VB and VBG is initially minimal while CVCC charges, to allow the converter to start. Due to the high current capability of the startup source, the recommended capacitance at VCC is relatively small, typically 1 μF in most applications.

Once VVCC falls below its UVLO threshold (VCUVLO_F, approximately 6.1 V), the converter shuts off and the startup current source is turned back on, initiating a new PWM startup cycle.

If however a VVCC fall (below approximately 7.1 V) is due to a light load condition causing temporary switching stop, the startup is immediately and for a short period turned back on to bring VCC voltage back up, with no converter interruption.
