Types of Soft-Switching
ZVS – Zero Voltage Switching ZCS – Zero Current Switching
─ Brings the switch voltage to ZERO before turn on. ─ Bring the switch current to ZERO before turn
VGATEon/off.
VDS
─ Ensuring NO voltage & current overlap @ turn on. ─ Quasi-Resonant, Transient Mode control
ELOSS
─ Coss (Output capacitance) also discharged. employs this technique.
IDS
─ Preferred technique for MOSFET, GaN ─ Can reduce switching losses in MOSFET
─ Best for IGBT @ turn-off
12
Why Soft Switching?
• As the demand for higher power density in power supplies increases:
– Need to increases switching frequency.
– Hence need to reduces losses associated with switching.
• An Example: Using a State of the Art SJ Mosfet in a, 400W Power Supply IPB60R180C7

VDS Sensing and Proportional Drive
• UCC24612 turns on when VDS drops below -220mV
• Minimum turn on propagation delay dependent on
variant
• UCC24612-1 (Fast): 80ns
• UCC24612-2 (Slow): 170ns
• SR proportional gate drive is enabled after 50% of
conduction time based on previous cycle
• Gate drive voltage VG (VGATE) is reduced to
maintain -50mV across the SR
• This allows VGATE to be very close to threshold
voltage when turn off occurs, accelerating turn
off time

Bluestone| Efficiency Comparison
– Burst v.s. Non-Burst (Zoomed-In)
UCC25630x Burst Mode Operation Principle
• Burst mode threshold (BMT) is a programmable parameter through LL/SS Pin
• If Vcomp < BMT & the pulse number >= 15, UCC25630x will enter burst off mode,
which shuts down both low/high side gate pulses, and also shut down some internal
circuit to save the power consumption – The Vcomp used for generating pulses is the
higher value between BMT and FBreplica
• When Vcomp > BMT, UCC25630x will immediately exit the burst mode and deliver
pulses

UCC25630x Burst Mode Threshold Programming
• When soft start is finished, LL/SS pin voltage will be equal to BLK pin voltage
• Current flowing into LL/SS pin = (RVCC - VBLK)/R2 – VBLK/R1
• This current will be mirrored to go through RLL, BMT = VLL = I*RLL
• BMT = [(RVCC - VBLK)/R2 – VBLK/R1]*RLL
• Burst mode threshold is impacted by R1, R2 and BLK pin voltage
• There is a minimal voltage clamp on BMT, the minimal voltage is 0.6V
• Removing R2 is a most simple way to achieve the minimal burst mode threshold

UCC25630x Key Design: Burst Mode Programming
