DESCRIPTION

The TK75002 monitors the output voltage of a power supply, generates an error signal, and transmits the error signal across an isolation barrier using a small pulse transformer. In conjunction with the pulse transformer, it replaces the TL431/opto-coupler combination and eliminates the undesirable zero created in the feedback loop by that combination. The transformer is driven with pulse amplitude modulation in a free-running oscillator configuration. The period of oscillation is proportional to the inductance of the pulse transformer. The magnitude of the voltage pulse is internally limited so that the pulse transformer design need not be changed for various output voltages.

TK75002

THEORY OF OPERATION

The TK75002 can be used in conjunction with either an opto-coupler or a pulse transformer to isolate an error signal developed by its internal op-amp. The op-amp can be externally compensated and features a precision reference voltage at the non-inverting input. When configured to drive a pulse transformer, the TK75002 will automatically oscillate to drive the pulse transformer in a pulse-amplitude-modulation (PAM) mode.

When VCC is below the UVLO threshold (~4.1V) the TK75002 does not operate and the DRV pin remains in a high-impedance state. When VCC is above the UVLO threshold, the PAM switch turns on and forces V

DRV

with respect to VCC to be equal to a gain constant times the opamp output voltage, V

, with respect to 2.5 V.

COMP

Essentially, then, the inverse of the error voltage (referenced to 2.5 V, a virtual ground) times a small gain constant is what appears between the DRV and VCC pins. Note that this is only valid when V implies that V

is less than VCC.

DRV

is less than 2.5 V, which also

COMP

If an opto-coupler and series resistor are hooked between the DRV and VCC pins, an error current is transmitted across the opto-coupler which is free from the characteristic of having the zero that is a sort of parasitic effect of the standard configuration of driving an opto-coupler with a TL431.

The TK75002 has a saturation limiter in the feedback loop. For either the opto-coupler or pulse transformer configurations, the error voltage which is transmitted across the isolation device by the TK75002 is limited to less than 5 V. This limiting occurs regardless of the applied V

(generally, it is VCC which is being regulated by the feedback loop for which the TK75002 transmits the error signal). Thus, when the TK75002 is used in a variable output voltage power supply or in a standard line of various fixed output power supplies, no supplemental signal-limiting circuitry is required in the feedback loop.

The characteristic waveforms of the TK75002 driving a pulse transformer are shown in Figure 1. The top trace shows the error voltage (@ 1 V / div.) referenced two divisions below the top; it is equal to approximately 1.3 V. The middle trace shows the DRV Pin voltage with respect to VCC (@ 1 V / div.) referenced three divisions below the top. The bottom trace shows the DRV Pin current (@ 20 mA / div.) referenced one division above the bottom.

If a pulse transformer is connected between the DRV and VCC pins, the magnetizing current will begin to increase until it reaches a threshold of ~ 55 mA, as detected by the Peak Current Detector. After an internal turnoff delay, the PAM switch turns off and the magnetizing current forces the DRV-pin voltage above VCC. An internal clamp diode between the DRV pin and the VCC pin clamps the voltage and then essentially compares it to a VCC-referenced voltage which corresponds to ~ 1 mA of current flow in the clamp diode (i.e., ~ 650 mV at room temperature). When the magnetizing current has decayed to nearly zero (i.e., ~ 1 mA) and after an internal turn-on delay, the Transformer Reset Detector turns on the PAM switch to initiate the process all over again. By using peak rectification on the secondary side of the pulse transformer, the error signal

FIGURE 1: CHARACTERISTIC WAVEFORMS OF THE

TK75002

can be recovered. The time constant of the peak detection circuit is chosen to yield negligible ripple but also an acceptable response time. The magnetizing inductance of the pulse transformer is chosen to yield an acceptable peak current overshoot and/or power dissipation when the switching frequency is at a maximum (maximum switching frequency occurs when the op-amp output is low).

PIN DESCRIPTION

This pin is connected to the supply voltage. The operation of the IC is enabled when the supply voltage exceeds

4.1 V, which is the upper threshold of the undervoltage lockout circuit. The operation is disabled when the supply voltage drops below 3.98 V.

GND PIN

This pin provides ground return for the IC.

DRV PIN

This pin drives the first terminal of the primary winding of the external pulse transformer using pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM). The second terminal of the primary winding is connected to the VCC pin. When the DRV pin is low, an internal NPN transistor (the PAM switch) is turned on and sinks an increasing current from the supply voltage through the primary winding. The PAM switch is turned off when the current reaches approximately 55 mA. The PAM switch is turned on again when the transformer is reset through the internal free-wheeling diode.

TK75002

INV PIN

The INV pin is the inverting input of the error amplifier. The non-inverting input of the error amplifier is connected to an internal 1.35 V precision reference source.

COMP PIN

The COMP pin is the output of the error amplifier. The frequency compensation feedback network is connected between the COMP and INV pins. Internally, the COMP pin drives the inverting input of a level shifter stage. The roles of the level shifter are to change (1) the reference point of the error signal from the GND pin to the VCC pin (necessary to avoid the parasitic zero in the transfer function caused by feed-forward through the supply) and (2) the signal polarity (necessary for start-up of the converter system in case the reference point was changed). The parasitic zero is discussed in the "Application Information" section.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

THE PARASITIC ZERO AND HOW IT IS ELIMINATED IN THE TK75002

In a feedback-regulated isolated power supply, isolation is usually provided by an opto-coupler whose photodiode section is connected between the output of the power supply and the output of the error amplifier (in series with a resistor that converts the voltage difference between the two outputs into a current). Due to the feed-forward path established by that connection, the transfer function of the error amplifier is significantly modified (the modification in the transfer function appears also if the opto-coupler is replaced by the combination of a transformer and peak detector driven by a pulse amplitude modulator).

Figure 2 shows the error amplifier/opto-coupler combination. The output voltage V2 (that is the voltage measured across the photodiode and the series resistor) can be written as:

V2 = V1 - [ - (ZFB / ZIN) x V1]

(1)

From (1), the transfer function of the error amplifier (from the supply voltage V1, to the voltage V2) is:

H(s) = V2(s) / V1(s) = 1 + (ZFB / ZIN)

(2)

Figure 3 shows the magnitude and phase diagram of the transfer function. As can be seen, the feed-forward path adds a left half-plane zero (sometimes called a "parasitic" zero) to the transfer function of the ideal integrator. The parasitic zero is undesirable because it increases the high frequency loop gain of the system, potentially leading to subharmonic instability or chaotic behavior. To avoid the effect of the zero, either a low pass (decoupling) filter must be added to the supply rail of the opto-coupler, or an additional pole must be introduced around the frequency of the zero, or the loop gain must be reduced. (Note that reducing the loop gain slows down the transient response of the system.)

The TK75002 eliminates the parasitic zero by changing the reference point of the error signal from the GND pin to the VCC pin. That is achieved by inserting a level shifter circuit between the output of the error amplifier and the buffer of the pulse-amplitude modulator (see Figure 4). The output voltage of the level shifter is proportional to the error signal (i.e., the voltage of the COMP pin) and is conveyed relative to the supply voltage V1. The end result is that the transfer function becomes:

H(s) = ZFB / Z

(4)

In the case when the feedback impedance is a capacitor C and the input impedance is a resistor R, the transfer function becomes:

H(s) = (1 + SRC) / SRC

In the case of a capacitive feedback impedance and resistive input impedance, the transfer function will be that of an ideal integrator, without the parasitic zero.

A 20 µH magnetizing inductance, with the typical parameter values of the TK75002 and an error signal of 1.4 V yields about 500 kHz oscillation frequency. Such an inductance can be obtained with three to five turns on a small ferrite toroid core of 5 to 10 mm external diameter.

ISOLATION WITH OPTO-COUPLER

Figure 6 shows how the TK75002 can be used together with an opto-coupler. The oscillation is automatically disabled because the peak current will never reach the nominal 50 mA peak drive current threshold. A resistor must be connected in series with the photodiode of the opto-coupler to limit the maximum current. The main advantage of the TK75002 over the TL431 is the left-halfplane zero is avoided. Another advantage is that the error amplifier in the TK75002 has higher bandwidth than the TL431.

TEST CIRCUIT EXAMPLE

This simple circuit shown in Figure 7 is designed to allow the user to probe and observe the characteristic performance and behavior of either a TK75001 or a TK75003 operating with a TK75002. Also, either IC can be characterized independently in the circuit. The TK75001/ TK75003 are pulse width modulated (PWM) controllers. The TK75002 is a pulse-amplitude-modulated (PAM) controller.

In all of the following text, the TK75003 can be substituted for the TK75001, depending on which of those two ICs is used in the characterization circuit. Ground is common to both the TK75001 and the TK75002.

TP5 is the timing pin of the TK75001, which has a sawtooth voltage waveform across the 1000 pF timing capacitor. TP4 is the feedback pin. The user can force a voltage there directly (for example, to measure the threshold voltage of the PWM, V

, which is approximately

The modulation range from zero to maximum PWM is approximately 0 to 1 V of voltage applied to TP3. The higher the applied voltage, the narrower the pulse width. Finally, in order to see the TK75001 operating with the TK75002, the voltage at TP3 can be applied by causing the TK75002 to operate, as described next.
