CCM versus DCM • Continuous conduction mode (CCM) – Small ripple and rms current – Lower MOSFET conduction and turn-off loss – Lower core loss – Lower capacitors loss – Can have better “full load” efficiency – Smaller S ll EMI and d output t t filters filt
• Discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) – No diode reverse recovery loss – Lower inductance value
• May result in a smaller transformer

How Leakage Can Be Minimized • Leakage inductance is a function of winding geometry geometry, number of turns and separation between primary and secondary – Minimize the separation between the primary and main secondary winding(s) – Interleave the primary and main secondary – Select a core with a long and narrow window L

Cross-Regulation – Overview • Multiple-output flyback topology is popular because of its simplicity and low cost • If the coupling is perfect, the turns ratio directly defines output voltages • In the real world, “perfect” coupling is not possible • This often results in poor cross-regulation
Texas Instruments—2010 Power Supply Design Seminar
1-14 SLUP254
Cross-Regulation Physical Model • Transformer windings cannot all be equally well coupled to the gap because of physical separation between them • Magnetic energy stored between the windings represented as leakage inductances • Model not applicable to any transformer geometry •C Can b become complex l if iinterleaving t l i iis used, d or if multiple lti l secondary windings are wound simultaneously (multifilar) • Not accurate in situation of lightly loaded secondary outputs • Good tool to understand how the common flyback transformer geometries work Texas Instruments—2010 Power Supply Design Seminar

• Leakage between W2 and W1 – W1’s voltage limited by clamp
• W1 closest to gap
During Primary-to-Secondary Commutation Current in All Windings
– Vclamp limits dφm/dt in the gap during commutation
• W2 is next to W1
– W2 limits the dφ/dt seen by W3 and W4 – W3 and W4 output voltage lower than without leakage
• Current commutates progressively from near to remote secondary windings Texas Instruments—2010 Power Supply Design Seminar

Ringing Effect • High Hi h dV/dt when h main i switch it h tturns off ff if main i output t t iis h heavily il lloaded d d • Transformer leakage inductance and parasitic capacity ⇒ auxiliary secondary y voltage g tends to “ring” g • If auxiliary output fully loaded ⇒ this ringing is clamped • If lightly loaded ⇒ voltage overshoot with peak detector effect • Much higher (sometimes > 2 x nominal value!) auxiliary output voltage at light load – Primary clamp voltage has high impact on result
• Most existing transformer models fail to predict this • This effect can be mitigated (but not eliminated) – Minimize leakage inductance between secondary windings – Locate the highest power secondary(ies) closest to the primary
• Other solutions include a post-regulator, series resistor or minimum load Texas Instruments—2010 Power Supply Design Seminar
1-18 SLUP254
Cross-Regulation Example Auxiliary Output Lightly Loaded • W2 (high current output) heavily loaded, W4 lightly loaded – W4’s output received too much energy gy during g Phase 1 due to ringing – W2’s output did not receive enough energy
• At end of commutation ((Phase 1): ) – Σ{reflected secondary currents} Ù magnetizing current
• V4 went too high g – Phase 2: high dφ/dt (decreasing) in W4 • IW4 ⇒ 0 A rapidly
– IW2 increases to maintain φm in the gap
• After IW4 crosses 0 A, W2’s and W3’s di/dt change to maintain the downslope of the magnetizing current and flux

Benefits of Good Cross-Regulation • Good control of auxiliary outputs in spite of load variations • Better control of gate drive voltage amplitude, amplitude less gate drive losses • Lower rms current in output capacitors, lower dissipation • May allow the controller to reach hiccup mode more easily when the main output is short-circuited for better protection – Not necessarily true if the short-circuit is applied to an auxiliary output!

How Cross-Regulation can be Improved • The high current winding must have the best coupling to primary • Minimize leakage between all secondary windings • Optimize, p , not minimize,, the leakage g inductance of auxiliaryy windings g to p primary y • Use winding placement to control leakage inductance

• Operate main output in CCM • Try to avoid operating the auxiliary outputs in DCM. In some cases, consider using resistance in series with the diode • Consider winding more than one auxiliary secondary simultaneously (multifilar) • Lower clamp voltage may help
– Trade-off between cross regulation, efficiency, peak drain voltage and current limit – Some other types of clamp circuits may provide better results than the RCD clamp

IMPORTANT NOTICE Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements, and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment. TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed. TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide adequate design and operating safeguards. TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
