DCascaded Buck Converters
DPost Processing Converters for Bus
Converter and DC Transformer Architectures
DESCRIPTION
The UCC2540 is a secondary-side synchronous
buck PWM controller for high current and low
output voltage applications. It can be used either
as the local secondary-side controller for isolated
dc-to-dc converters using two-stage cascaded
topologies or as a secondary-side post regulator
(SSPR) for multiple output power supplies.
The UCC2540 runs with the synchronization
signal from either the primary side or the high duty
cycle quasi-dc output of bus converters or dc
transformers. For higher efficiency, it also
incorporates the Predictive Gate Drivet
technology that virtually eliminates body diode
conduction losses in synchronous rectifiers.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The UCC2540 is a high-efficiency synchronous buck controller that can be used in many point-of-load
applications. It can be used as a local controller for cascaded techniques such as post processing converters
for isolated integrated bus converters (IBC) and dc transformer architectures. It can also be used as a general
purpose secondary-side post regulator for high-accuracy multiple-output power supplies.
Using UCC2540 as the Secondary-Side PWM Controller in the Cascaded Push-Pull Buck Two Stage
Converter
The two-stage cascaded push-pull buck topology converts higher-input bus voltage such as 48-V telecom
voltage to sub 2-V output voltages.
The primary-side power stage is an open loop push-pull converter that provides voltage step-down, and
galvanic isolation. This takes the high bus voltage and converts it into an intermediate voltage such as 7 V. The
primary-side push-pull gate drive signals can come from either off-the-shelf oscillators or a fully integrated 50%
duty dual-output oscillator such as the UCC28089.

RA
RB
UDG−02140
The secondary-side power stage is a buck converter that is optimized for low-output voltage regulation. The
clock reset pulse signal from the primary side is transmitted using a signal transformer.

SLUS539A − JUNE 2004 − REVISED AUGUST 2004
APPLICATION INFORMATION
There are many advantages to this secondary-side control circuit. The simple isolated power stage does not
require any feedback across the isolation boundary. Since the primary-side oscillator is free running, there is
no need for an isolated start-up power supply. This high-frequency circuit provides soft-switching operation (for
all six MOSFET switches), optimum transformer core utilization, and minimizes filter requirements because
there are no additional high-current inductors.
The push-pull primary side permits simple direct drive control of the input stage MOSFETs. In exchange, it
requires that the input MOSFETs are rated to at least twice the peak input line voltage. This configuration works
well for 36-V to 72-V input line applications, because there are many suitable power MOSFETs available in the
range of 150 V. For applications with larger input voltages, a half bridge or full bridge with alternating modulation
might be more suitable for an input stage. Thus, the cascaded topology has a large degree of flexibility with input
power stages. The cascaded topology also has flexibility in the output stages, as well.
For additional information on this topology refer to Power Supply Seminar SEM−1300 Topic 1: UniqueCascaded Power Converter Topology for High Current Low Output Voltage Applications [1]. The topic discusses
the operating principles, design trade-offs, and critical design procedure steps.
UCC2540 in Multiple Output Power Supplies
One such flexibility is an ability to easily add independently regulated auxiliary outputs. A multiple output
implementation of the cascaded push-pull/buck power converter is shown in Figure 3.

UCC2540 can also be used as a secondary-side post regulator (SSPR) for precision regulation of the auxiliary
voltages of multiple output power supplies, as shown in Figure 4. The UCC2540 uses leading-edge modulation
so that it is compatible with either voltage-mode or current-mode primary-side control converters using any
topology such as forward, half-bridge or push-pull.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
CEA− and VEA− pins: Current Limit and Hiccup Mode
Typical power supply load voltage versus load current is shown in Figure 5. This figure shows steady state
operation for no-load to overcurrent shutdown (soft-start retry is not depicted in the diagram). During the voltage
regulation conditions, the voltage error amplifier output is lower than the current error amplifier, allowing the
voltage error amplifier to control operation. During the current limit conditions, the current error amplifier output
is lower than the voltage error amplifier, allowing the current error amplifier to control operation. The boundary
between voltage and current control occurs when the difference between CEA− and VEA− tries to exceed
50 mV.
Current limiting begins to occur when the difference between CEA− and VEA− exceeds 50 mV. For currents
that exceed this operating condition, the UCC2540 controls the converter to operate as a pure current source
until the output voltage falls to half of its rated steady state level. Then the UCC2540 sets both G1 and G2 outputs
to LOW and it latches a fault that discharges the soft-start voltage at 30% of its charging rate. The UCC2540
inhibits a retry until the soft-start voltage falls below 0.5 V. A functional diagram of the voltage and current error
amplifiers is shown in Figure 6.
