The soft start pin provides an effective means to start
the IC in a controlled manner. An internal current of
20
μ
A begins charging a capacitor connected to SS once
the startup conditions listed above have been met. The
voltage on SS effectively controls maximum duty cycle
on OUT1 during the charging period. OUT2 is also con-
trolled during this period (see Figure 1). Negation of any
of the startup conditions causes SS to be immediately
discharged. Internal circuitry ensures full discharge of
SS (to 0.3V) before allowing charging to begin again,
provided all the startup conditions are again met.
Oscillator
Simplified oscillator block diagram and waveforms are
shown in Figure 3. OSC1 and OSC2 pins are used to
program the frequency and maximum duty cycle. Ca-
pacitor CT is alternately charged through R1 and dis-
charged through R2 between levels of 1V and 3.5V. The
charging and discharging equations for CT are given by

The CLK output is high during the discharge period. It
blanks the output to limit the maximum duty cycle of
OUT1. The frequency and maximum duty cycle are

Maximum Duty Cycle for OUT1 will be slightly less due
to Delay1 which is programmed by R3.
Voltage Feedforward and Volt-Second Clamp
UCC3580 has a provision for input voltage feedforward.
As shown in Figure 3, the ramp slope is made propor-
tional to input line voltage by converting it into a charg-
ing
current
for
CR.
This
cancellation of the effects of line voltage changes on
converter
performance.
The
clamp is provided to protect against transient saturation
of the transformer core. It terminates the OUT1 pulse

feedforward feature is not used, the ramp can be gener-
ated by tying R4 to REF. However, the linearity of ramp
suffers and in this case the maximum volt-second clamp
is no longer available.
