High-Efficiency Flyback Controller with 1% Output regulation accuracy

The UCC28742 off-line flyback controller is a highly integrated, 6-pin secondary-side regulated PWM controller for efficient AC-to-DC power supplies. It is an isolated-flyback power-supply controller that provides Constant-Voltage (CV) using an optical coupler to improve transient response to large-load steps. This device processes information from opto-coupled feedback and an auxiliary flyback winding for high-performance control of output voltage and current.

The UCC28742 employs advanced control algorithms to achieve high operating efficiency and performance. The drive output interfaces to a MOSFET power switch. Discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with valley-switching reduces switching losses. Modulation of switching frequency and primary current-peak amplitude (FM and AM) keeps the conversion efficiency high across the entire load and line ranges.

The controller has a maximum switching frequency of 80 kHz and always maintains control of the peak-primary current in the transformer. A minimum switching frequency of 200 Hz facilitates the achievement of low no-load input power.
