He has originated numerous integrated circuits among which the NCP120X series has set new standards for low standby power converters.

3、 Power Stage Small-Signal Response?ANSWER: This is the first question you must ask if you are serious about compensating a power supply. Too often, I have seen engineers building a prototype and throwing arbitrarily-selected component values at the error amplifier, hoping it would let the power supp
4、ly at least stabilize after start up. Then, by tweaking compensating components values on-the-fly as the output undergoes a transient step, the power supply is more or less stabilized by taming undershoots and ringing portions. A few prototypes later, the design is validated for pilot run and here w
5、e go for mass production!This is a scenario that I have seen many times while visiting power supply designers as an application engineer for ON Semi. Even if trials and errors must absolutely be banned when it comes down to loop control, I cannot blame these gentlemen for their method. The reason is
6、 simple, 99% percent of an engineers time is spent on safety tests, making sure the converter dies peacefully, without smoke sometimes without noise! when resistance R236 is open or short circuited or when the controller pin 1 is shorted to pin 2 or even worse, to any of the other pins, including hi
7、gh voltage ones! Believe me, testing and solving for safety is an extremely long and tedious exercise, furthermore if extreme cost and time pressure exists. If you overlook important parts of the design (safety limits, stability margins and so on no wonder the telephone rings a few months later, ask
8、ing the design engineer to urgently fly to the remote factory as most of power supplies do not pass the simple start-up sequence: the overshoot trips the Over Voltage Protection (OVP circuit and the converter safely latches off. The money the company believed it has saved by cutting the development
9、time, instantaneously vanishes if a factory enters a line-down situation or worse, if a product re-call is necessary. In short, do NOT neglect stability design by thinking that a simple 0.1-F capacitor across the TL431 will do the job. Spend the necessary time on it, read some of the reference books
10、 and you will quickly realize how new tools can make the stabilization process quite simple at the end.The power stage response is the first thing you need to stabilize your converter. This is how your converter responds to an ac stimulus applied to its control pin while operating in various conditi
11、ons (light load, full load, high or low line and so on. Without it, there is nothing you can do besides trial and errors as already described. I can see several ways to obtain this transfer function:Method 1 - Build A HardwareBuild a hardware, that is to say, assemble your converter using components
12、 that are representative of what will be used in production sites. Your last power supply prototype is obviously a possible solution. Check with your buyer that the components you have soldered are those populating production boards later on. Why? Because some elements, capacitors for instance, hide
13、 stray elements that affect the converter response and having them onboard already will give you a typical response. As an example, Figure 1 shows a (simplified prototype that I purposely built for an active-clamp forward converter; it delivers 5 V/2 A from a 48-V source. I had to stabilize the beas
14、t for an educational purpose. In lack of analytical expression, there is no way I could predict the response. With the help of a network analyzer, I was able to unveil the Bode plot quickly. I could then use that transfer function to select a crossover frequency and implement compensation strategy t
15、o build phase and gain margins. Derive an analytical expression for the power stage. This is probably the most difficult option, in particular if you are not familiar with small-signal modeling. Fortunately, a lot of these equations have already been developed and you should be able to locate your t
16、ransfer function quickly. Lets assume you want to stabilize a current-mode flyback converter. The mathematical expression for this power stage is as follows: In this expression, you can see the position of the various zeros (one of them is in the Right-Half Plane and the effect of the sub-harmonic p
17、oles. What is nice with this expression is that you can capture it in a mathematical solver such as Mathcad and plot the magnitude versus frequency response in a snap shot. This is what Figure 2 shows you with a complete Bode plot. What is the difference between this solution and the first one? Usin
18、g the analytical expression, you know exactly what elements create poles and zeros in the converter ac response, or what elements the dc gain H0 is made of. That is to say, once capacitors and inductors have been selected based on ripple requirements, rms currents capability and cost, their respecti
19、ve data-sheets should tell you the spread of stray elements affecting them. If you know the limits within which these poles and zeros will move in production or during the converter lifetime, then you can take provisions during the compensation phase and test your solution efficiency by sweeping val
20、ues in Mathcad while observing phase and gain margins. If your buyer shows up in your office and tells you that a cheaper capacitor has been identified, you will be able to quickly know if your compensation strategy can accept its Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR dispersion.Method 3 - Simulation Mo
21、delin particular ESRs, the simulated response can be very close to reality. A lot of models are available but I derived a set of auto-toggling models based on Vatch Vorprian PWM switch model. These models operate in current or voltage mode and automatically toggle between CCM and DCM. A free-running
22、 version also exists and nicely predicts the response of quasi-square wave resonant converters (so-called QR. These models are available in a lot of different simulator flavors and let you simulate numerous topologies. Figure 3 shows you a current-mode model implemented in a fixed-frequency DCM flyb
23、ack converter. The operating point is set by the Vstim source so that 12 V are delivered to the load. The model inputs are the primary inductance (to compute the operating mode, the switching frequency (65 kHz in this example, the sense resistance and the slope compensation magnitude, if any. The Bo
24、de plot is given in Figure 4 and was immediately obtained owing to the absence of switching events (averaged model. From that response, you can see a first-order behavior in the low-frequency portion while a zero kicks in later on along the x-axis. This zero is created by the output capacitor and it
