8.2.2.12 Design Considerations for Adaptive Dead-Time

After designing the resonant tank and selecting the primary side MOSFET, check the ZVS operation of the converter. ZVS is achieved when enough energy remains in the resonant inductor at the gate turn-off edge to discharge the switch node capacitance. ZVS is also achieved when the inductive energy is larger than the effective capacitive energy, where the effective capacitance is the Coss of the two switches in the power stage. UCC256614-Q1 implements adaptive dead-time based on the slewing of the switch node. The slew detection circuit has a detection range of 0.1V/ns to 200V/ns.

To check the ZVS operation, the controller conducts a series of time domain simulations, and the resonant current at the gate turn off edges are captured. An example plot is shown below:

UCC25661-Q1 Adaptive Dead-Time Figure 8-2 Adaptive Dead-Time

Figure 8-2 assumes that the maximum switching frequency occurs at 5% load and system starts to burst at 5% load.

From Figure 8-2, the minimum resonant current remaining in the tank is Imin = 0.8A, in the operation range of interest. The parasitic capacitance of the primary-side switch node is required to calculate the slew rate. Estimate the slew rate from the value of Coss given in the MOSFET data sheet. In this case, Cswitchnode = 400pF as the Coss for each MOSFET is 200pF. The minimum slew rate is calculated using:

Equation 44. I M I N C s w i t c h n o d e = 0.8 A 400 p F = 2 V / n s

The minimum slow rate is larger than the 0.1V/ns minimum detectable slew rate which helps in establishing ZVS maintenance.
