DESCRIPTION
The UC3584 is a low voltage, Secondary Side Synchronous Post Regulator. It is intended to be used for auxiliary output voltage regulation in single secondary winding, multiple output power supplies (for more details refer to the Application Section of this Data sheet). The UC3584 is most suited for systems where the main output is regulated between 5V and 14V. Output voltages regulated by the UC3584 can range from virtually 0V up to the output voltage of the main output. Auxiliary output voltage regulation with the UC3584 uses leading edge modulation making it compatible to primary side peak current or voltage mode control. The UC3584 clock circuit is synchronized to the switching frequency utilizing the falling edge of the transformer's secondary winding waveform.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Biasing the UC3584 Bias supply for the UC3584 is generated from the main output of the power supply by a boost regulator. The inductor, diode and capacitor of the boost converter are external components, while the boost switch is internal to the chip. The boost converter operates in a burst mode with a built-in hysteresis of approximately 1V centered at 15V. This is a bang-bang controller and when enabled has a fixed duty cycle of 75%. Undervoltage Detection The UVLO circuit of the UC3584 monitors the voltage on VCC. During power up and power down, the pulse width modulator and the output driver are disabled and OUT is held active low. Operation is enabled when VCC reaches 10.5V. The UVLO circuitry has a built-in hysteresis of 1.7V (10.5V to 8.8V) thus VCC must drop below 8.8V in order to assert UVLO again.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (cont.)
Precision Reference An internal precision bandgap reference provides accurate voltages to the error amplifier and other control sections of the IC. A buffered 5V regulated voltage is also available for external circuitry on the VREG pin. This pin must be decoupled to the signal GND connection by a good quality high frequency capacitor. Oscillator and Trailing Edge Synchronization The UC3584 is outfitted with a synchronizable oscillator which also generates a ramp signal across the CT capacitor for the PWM comparator. For easy implementation of the leading edge pulse width modulation technique, the oscillator has an inverted ramp waveform as shown in Figure 1. The free running oscillator frequency is determined by the timing components, RT and CT, according to the following equations: RT = CT = where RT is the timing resistor, its value should be between 1k and 100k, CT is the timing capacitor, DMAX is the desired maximum duty cycle, and fOSC is the free running oscillator frequency. 1.5 * DMAX 0.0065 * (1 - DMAX) 0.6 *DMAX RT * fOSC PWM and Output Driver The UC3584 employs leading edge modulation technique to set the required on time of its output. Leading edge modulation is preferred for secondary side regulation in multiple output converters to prevent ambiguity in the primary current waveform. In fact, this is the only feasible technique to preserve compatibility with primary side peak current mode control. As Figure 1 depicts the UC3584 utilizes voltage mode control to regulate output voltage. The output pulse width (the on-time of the MOSFET switch) is determined on a cycle-by-cycle basis by comparing the output of the voltage error amplifier and the ramp waveforms across the timing capacitor. OUT is asserted when the voltage on COMP exceeds the voltage on CT. There are three more conditions which must be satisfied to obtain an active high on the OUT pin. These conditions are: 1. VCC within normal range (UVLO is inactive), 2. No fault condition is detected, 3. CT is discharging. During the fast charging time of the CT capacitor is held low. Ultimately, the output of the PWM circuitry controls the conduction interval of an external N-channel MOSFET switch in the power supply. The UC3584 employs an on-board, floating gate driver circuit to interface to the external switch. An external capacitor connected between VFLT and SRC acts as a floating power supply for the driver during the on-time of the switch. Charge is being replenished to the bootstrap capacitor during the off-time of the switch through the bootstrap diode connected between VCC and VFLT as shown in the typical application diagram. Soft Start The UC3584 Soft Start circuitry is designed to implement closed loop startup of the power supply output. During Soft Start, the reference to the noninverting input of the error amplifier is controlled by the voltage across the soft start capacitor on SS. As this voltage rises, it provides an increasing reference to the error amplifier. Once the soft start capacitor charges above the 1.5V precision reference of the error amplifier, SS gets disconnected from the noninverting input of the error amplifier. This technique allows the error amplifier to stay in its linear mode and to regulate the output voltage of the power supply according to the gradually increasing reference voltage on its noninverting input. Further advantage of the closed loop start up scheme is the absence of output voltage overshoot during power up of the power supply output. 4

Figure 1. Trailing Edge Synchronization, Leading During normal operation the oscillator must be synchronized to the falling edge of the transformer secondary waveform. Synchronization is achieved by connecting SYNC to the secondary winding via a resistor divider. The resistor divider must be chosen to provide a SYNC pin voltage in excess of 1V at the lowest operating voltage on the transformer secondary winding. The UC3584 will generate a narrow internal synchronization pulse which will synchronize the oscillator to the switching frequency of the main converter.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (cont.)
Fault Detection Fault Detection feature is implemented to detect excessive overload conditions. Under these conditions the error amplifier output goes high to command the maximum duty cycle. As soon as the error amplifier's output exceeds 5V, the fault delay capacitor connected to the CDLY pin starts charging. If CDLY capacitor voltage reaches 2V before the error amplifier output falls back below 5V, a fault condition is declared, the PWM output is disabled and soft start cycle is initiated. Under persistent fault conditions the UC3584 will continuously cycle through soft start sequence, attempting to bring the output to its regulated, nominal voltage. The value of CDLY capacitor should be chosen large enough to delay the activation of the fault sequence in case of load transients which can also cause the error amplifier output to go high temporarily. Error Amplifier The Error Amplifier of the UC3584 is used to regulate the voltage of an auxiliary output in a power supply. The noninverting input of the error amplifier is connected to an internal, 1.5V reference. The inverting input (FB pin) is tied to an output voltage divider. The compensation network of the negative feedback loop is connected between the amplifier's output (COMP pin) and FB. The noninverting input of the error amplifier is also connected to the SS node through a diode. This arrangement allows closed loop soft start for the output of a power supply regulated by the UC3584. Closed loop soft start assures that the error amplifier is kept in active mode and the output voltage of the converter follows the reference voltage on its noninverting input as it ramps up (following the SS node). If a fault condition is detected, SS node gets pulled to ground, forcing the error amplifier's reference low. Consequently, the error amplifier's output voltage goes low and duty cycle is reduced.
