The UCC25800-Q1 ultra-low EMI transformer
driver integrates the switching power stage, the control, and the protection circuits to
simplify isolated bias supply designs. It allows the design to utilize a transformer with
higher leakage inductance, but much smaller parasitic primary-to-secondary capacitance. This
low-capacitance transformer design enables an order of magnitude reduction in the
common-mode current injection through the bias transformer. This makes the transformer
driver an ideal solution for the isolated bias supply in various automotive applications to
minimize the EMI noise caused by the high-speed switching devices. The soft-switching
feature further reduces the EMI noise.
The transformer driver has a programmable frequency
range of 100 kHz to 1.2 MHz. This high switching frequency reduces the transformer size and
footprint, as well as the overall cost of the bias supply. The integrated SYNC function
allows the system bias supplies to synchronize with an external clock signal, further
reducing the system level noise.
The dead-time adjusts automatically to
minimize the conduction loss and simplify the design. The programmable maximum dead-time
ensures power stage design flexibility.
With the integrated, low-resistance
switching power stage, the transformer driver can achieve a 6-W design with 24-V input, and
up to 9-W from 34-V input. With a fixed input voltage, the open-loop control also helps the
output regulation to remain ±5% when the load is above 10%.
The programmable overcurrent protection
(OCP) allows flexibility on the power stage design to minimize the transformer size. The
protection features such as adjustable OCP, input OVP, TSD and the protection from pin
faults ensure robust operation. A fixed 1.5-ms soft-start period reduces the inrush current
during start-up and fault recovery.
The transformer driver also provides a dedicated
multi-function pin for external disabling, and fault code reporting. The fault code
reporting sends the fault code once the bias supply is in the protection mode.
The UCC25800-Q1 transformer driver is
offered in an 8-pin DGN package with the thermal pad to enhance its thermal handling
capability.
