7.4.10.4 Overpower Protection (OPP, LPS)

The limited power source (LPS) regulatory standards require the flyback converter output current to not exceed 8A and the output power to not 100W after 5s. The UCG28826 triggers over power protection (low, OPPL) for input power greater than 100W or output current (input referred) larger than ILPS (7.5A) for longer than 4.2s duration, to prevent from excessive power delivery to the output in fault conditions. The device also supports transient load requirements of minimum 2× the nominal output power rating (130W for 65W design) for up to 120ms beyond which over power protection (high, OPPH) is triggered. The device works in CCM mode for VBULK <200V for a maximum 10ms duration. In the UCG28828, the OPPL and LPS protections are disabled and OPPH protection threshold is extended to 190W.

When designing for the output voltage other than 20V, same as the OVP protection, the LPS current level needs to be caulated based on the reflected output voltage on the transformer primary side. The controller assumes the output voltage is 20V, based on the TR pin setting. The LPS current level ILPS is calculated as Equation 2.

Equation 2. ILPS=PREFVREFLECT×NPSSETTING

When the transformer real turns ratio is different than the TR pin setting, due to the output voltage is not 20V, the real LPS current level is calculated using Equation 3.

Equation 3. ILPSREAL=PREFVREFLECT×NPSREAL

Comibing Equation 2 and Equation 3, the real LPS curent can be calculated as Equation 4.

Equation 4. ILPSREAL=NPSREALNPSSETTING×ILPS
