Figure 8-1 shows a 200kHz push-pull application circuit with a full-wave rectifier. The output, VO, provides 5V at 50W maximum and is electrically isolated from the input. Because the UCC2808A-xEP is a peak-current-mode controller, the 2N2907 emitter following amplifier (buffers the CT waveform) provides slope compensation that is necessary for duty ratios greater than 50%. Capacitor decoupling is very important with a single-ground IC controller. TI recommends using a 1μF capacitor that is placed as close to the IC as possible. The controller supply is a series RC for start-up, paralleled with a bias winding on the output inductor used in steady-state operation.
Isolation is provided by an optocoupler with regulation done on the secondary side using the TL431 adjustable precision shunt regulator. Small-signal compensation with tight voltage regulation is achieved using this part on the secondary side. Many choices exist for the output inductor depending on cost, volume, and mechanical strength. Several design options are iron powder, molypermalloy (MPP), or a ferrite core with an air gap as shown here. The main power transformer has a Magnetics Inc. ER28-size core made of P material for efficient operation at this frequency and temperature. The input voltage ranges from 36Vdc to 72Vdc.
