6.3.4 External Clock Synchronization

The UCC28070A has also been designed to be easily synchronized to almost any external frequency source. By disabling frequency dithering (pulling CDR > 5V), the SYNC circuitry is enabled permitting the internal oscillator to be synchronized with pulses presented on the RDM pin. To ensure that a precise 180° phase shift is maintained between the GDA and GDB outputs, the frequency (fSYNC) of the pulses presented at the RDM pin must be at twice the desired fPWM. For example, if a 100kHz switching frequency is desired, the fSYNC must be 200kHz.

Equation 7. GUID-D1430F8B-4B35-4242-8DE2-06F2701AC21A-low.gif

To ensure the internal oscillator does not interfere with the SYNC function, RRT must be sized to set the internal oscillator frequency about 10% below the minimum expected fSYNC.

Equation 8. GUID-CD3C3678-22E2-4C7F-B2A3-93668733B2B5-low.gif

It must be noted that the PWM modulator gain is reduced by a factor equivalent to the scaled RRT due to a direct correlation between the PWM ramp current and RRT. Adjustments to the current-loop gains must be made accordingly, using the kSYNC factor as indicated in Current Loop Compensation.

It must also be noted that the maximum duty-cycle clamp programmability is affected during external synchronization. The internal timing circuitry responsible for setting the maximum duty cycle is initiated on the falling edge of the synchronization pulse. Therefore, the selection of RDMX becomes dependent on the synchronization pulse width (tSYNC).

Equation 9. GUID-206BF971-722F-4F78-B557-DFD92D971A1E-low.gif (For use in RDMX equation immediately below.)
Equation 10. GUID-E8D2287A-419F-4BFC-977B-44BAAAD9404A-low.gif

Consequently to minimize the impact of the tSYNC it is clearly advantageous to use the smallest synchronization pulse width feasible.

Note:

When external synchronization is used, a propagation delay of approximately 50ns to 100ns exists between internal timing circuits and the falling edge of the SYNC signal, which may result in reduced OFF-time at the highest of switching frequencies. Therefore, at high SYNC frequencies RDMX value must be adjusted downward slightly by (tSYNC – 0.1μs) / tSYNC to compensate. At lower SYNC frequencies, this delay becomes an insignificant fraction of the PWM period, and can be neglected.

Note:

The oscillator in the UCC28070A device is not designed to accommodate wide variations in the external SYNC frequency. Do not allow the SYNC frequency variation to exceed ±10% of the nominal fSYNC as used in Equation 8. Excessive variation of fSYNC can cause malfunction of the controller to occur. RRT value must be calculated at the lowest fSYNC.
