1.17 How Does BMTL Threshold Value Impacts the Output Voltage Ripple and the VCC Pin Voltage and Magnetizing Current?

Keeping the BMTL threshold low:

  1. Makes the converter to operate at relatively higher switching frequencies. Due to the higher frequency at light load, the amplitude of the magnetizing current will be smaller and care must be taken to ensure ZVS is still achieved.
  2. Makes the converter to switch more frequently during light load. Due to this, there will be enough energy supplied by the auxiliary winding so that controller's VCC pin voltage won’t go below VCCrestartJFET threshold voltage. Also, the output voltage ripple will be small.

Keeping the BMTL threshold high:

  1. Longer periods of no switching during light load. Due to this, higher output voltage ripple is expected
  2. Limits how high the switching frequency will go during light load before ultimately dropping into burst mode. Because of this, during light load, converter can easily achieve ZVS as the there is enough magnetizing current during primary MOSFET's turn off instants.
  3. Need to have relatively larger capacitance at the VCC and for boot strap so that controller doesn’t hit the under-voltage limit during long burst off periods.
