Feedback Function
Modulation and modes are controlled by applying current to the FB pin. The FB pin is usually used to feed back
the output error signal to the modulator. The UCC28610 uses internal current mirrors to apply the FB current to
the Feedback Processing block, and then to the Frequency Modulator and Current Modulator blocks. The voltage
of the FB pin is a constant 0.7 V. AC filtering of the output of the opto-coupler must be applied at the FB pin, as
shown in Figure 24. The corner frequency of the filter in Figure 24 should be at least a decade above the
maximum switching frequency of the converter, as given in Equation 11. A 100-kΩ resistor, R
FB
, between the
opto-coupler emitter and GND prevents ground noise from resetting the overload timer by biasing the FB pin with
a negative current. An opto-coupler with a low Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) is required to give better no-load
performance than a high CTR device due to the bias current of the secondary reference. The low CTR also
offers better noise immunity than a high CTR device.
