The key problem in isolated topologies is how to communicate information regarding the output voltage from the isolated secondary side of the transformer to the primary side. Historically, optoisolators or extra transformer windings communicate this information across the transformer. Optoisolator circuits waste output power, and the extra components increase the cost and physical size of the power supply. Optoisolators can also exhibit trouble due to limited dynamic response, nonlinearity, unit-to-unit variation and aging over life. Circuits employing an extra transformer winding also exhibit deficiencies. Using an extra winding adds to the transformer’s physical size and cost, and dynamic response is often mediocre. In the LT3512, the primary-side flyback pulse provides information about the isolated output voltage. In this man- ner, neither optoisolator nor extra transformer winding is required for regulation. Two resistors program the output voltage. Since this IC operates in boundary mode, the part calculates output voltage from the switch pin when the secondary current is almost zero. The Block Diagram shows an overall view of the system. Many of the blocks are similar to those found in traditional switching regulators including internal bias regulator, os- cillator, logic, current amplifier, current comparator, driver, and output switch. The novel sections include a special flyback error amplifier and a temperature compensation circuit. In addition, the logic system contains additional logic for boundary mode operation. TheLT3512featuresboundarymodecontrol,wherethepart operates at the boundary between continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode. The VC pin controls the current level just as it does in normal current mode operation, but instead of turning the switch on at the start of the oscillator period, the part turns on the switch when the secondary-side winding current is zero. Boundary Mode Operation Boundary mode is a variable frequency, current mode switching scheme. The switch turns on and the inductor current increases until a VC pin controlled current limit. After the switch turns off, the voltage on the SW pin rises to the output voltage divided by the secondary-to-primary transformer turns ratio plus the input voltage. When the secondary current through the diode falls to zero, the SW pin voltage falls below VIN. A discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) comparator detects this event and turns the switch back on.

Boundary mode also allows the use of a smaller transformer compared to continuous conduction mode and does not exhibit subharmonic oscillation. At low output currents, the LT3512 delays turning on the switch, and thus operates in discontinuous mode. Unlike traditional flyback converters, the switch has to turn on to update the output voltage information. Below 0.6V on the VC pin, the current comparator level decreases to its minimum value, and the internal oscillator frequency decreases. With the decrease of the internal oscillator, the part starts to operate in DCM. The output current is able to decrease while still allowing a minimum switch off time for the flyback error amplifier. The typical minimum internal oscillator frequency with VC equal to 0V is 40kHz. |
