4、 System working principle and design points
4.1. Initiation and workflow
After the system is powered on, the VDD capacitor is charged by starting the resistor. When the VDD voltage reaches 15V, the chip starts working. A typical startup configuration is 1.5-2MΩ The combination of a starting resistor and a 10 μ F/25V electrolytic capacitor can meet the starting requirements of most applications.
4.2. Light load jump cycle working mode
Under no-load or light load conditions, when the FB voltage is below 1.1V and VDD is above 10.5V, the system enters a jump cycle mode, intermittently stopping switch operations and significantly reducing standby power consumption. When the load increases and the FB voltage exceeds 1.3V, the system automatically returns to normal operating mode.
4.3. EMI optimization design
The built-in jitter function of the chip causes a 6% amplitude jitter in the switching frequency range of 63kHz to 71kHz, effectively dispersing harmonic energy and reducing EMI radiation at specific frequency points, helping the system easily pass EMC certification.
4.4. Detailed explanation of protection mechanism
• VDD overvoltage/undervoltage protectionWhen VDD exceeds 27V or falls below 9V, the system enters a protective state
• Overload and open-loop protectionWhen the FB voltage remains above 3.7V for 50ms, the system will shut down the output until VDD under voltage restarts
• Cycle by cycle current limitationReal time monitoring of current through CS pin to ensure that peak current does not exceed the limit in each cycle
