PRODUCTION DATA
The OVP/OTP protects the power stage from over voltage. The OVP/OTP pin is also used for over-temperature protection using a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor. As the bias winding voltage is the mirror image of the output voltage through the turns ratio of the transformer, pulling up the OVP/OTP pin with a Zener diode is a convenient approach to set the OVP on the primary side. In this design, the nominal output voltage is 12V. To maintain the voltage on VCCP above the UVLO threshold, the bias winding to the secondary side winding turns ratio is 1.5, in other words greater than 12V. Assuming there is a 0.5V drop in the rectifier diodes (Vf) and a further 0.5V drop due to other losses (Vloss), the nominal voltage of the bias winding is calculated using:
The desired OVP threshold in this design is 140% of the nominal value. The OVP threshold level (VOVPpos) in UC25661 device is 3.5V.
The required voltage rating of the Zener diode is calculated using:
Assuming actual voltage rating of zener used is 23V, the actual output voltage at which OVP is triggered is
During normal operation, the voltage of the OVP/OTP pin is within the working window from 0.8V to 3.5V. For over temperature protection, pull down the OVP/OTP pin below the OTP threshold of 0.8V.
At room temperature, the OVP/OTP pin voltage is considered as 1.4V. So, at room temperature, the effective resistance value at the OVP/OTP pin is
where Rext is external resistor that is in parallel with the thermistor. RNTC_25 is the resistance value of the thermistor at room temperature.
For UCC25661EVM-128, over temperature protection is set at the 110°C. Based on the availability and temperature coefficient of the NTCs, choose Equation 73. Refer to the B57371V2474J060 data sheet for more information. RNTC_110 is the resistance of the thermistor at the 110°C.
For OTP trigger, set the OVP/OTP pin voltage below 0.8V.
From Equation 72, Equation 73, Equation 75, RNTC_25 is 510kΩ and Rext is 14.4kΩ. As a result, RNTC_25 = 470kΩ and Rext=15kΩ. The manufacturer part number for RNTC_25 = 470kΩ is B57371V2474J060.
At room temperature and with new chosen resistors, the OVP/OTP voltage is calculated as:
At 1100C, the OVP/OTP voltage is calculated as:
