Block diagram
In the SO14 package, the two diodes which are required for the DVDT supply are
integrated and connected between pins DVDT and PGND.
Mount these diodes externally when using the DIP8 packaged devices because they are
not bonded out.

7. Functional description
7.1 Supply voltage
The UBA2211 family is powered using a start-up current source and a DVDT supply.
When the voltage on pin HV increases, the V
DD
capacitor (C
VDD
) is charged using the
internal Junction gate Field-Effect Transistor (JFET) current source. The voltage on pin
V
DD
rises until V
DD
equals V
DD(start)
. The start-up current source is then disabled. The
half-bridge starts switching causing the charge pump to generate the required V
DD
supply.
The amount of current flowing towards V
DD
equals V
HV
C
DVDT
f where f represents the
momentary frequency. The charge pump consists of an external half-bridge capacitor
(C
DVDT
). The SO14 package contains two internal diodes with an internal Zener diode.
Mount these diodes externally with the DIP8 packaged devices. The Zener diode ensures
the V
DD
voltage cannot rise above the maximum V
DD
rating.
The DVDT supply has its own ground pin (PGND) to prevent large peak currents from
flowing through the external small signal ground pin (SGND).
The start-up current source is enabled when the voltage on pin V
DD
is below the V
DD(stop)
level.
7.2 Start-up state
When the supply voltage on pin V
DD
increases, the IC enters the start-up state. In the
start-up state the High-Side Power Transistor (HSPT) is switched off and the Low-Side
Power Transistor (LSPT) is switched on. The circuit is reset and the capacitors on the
bootstrap pin FS (C
bs
) and the low-voltage supply pin V
DD
(C
VDD
) are charged. Pins RC
and SW are switched to ground.
When pin V
DD
is above V
DD(start)
, the start-up state is exited and the preheat state is
entered. If the voltage on pin V
DD
falls below V
DD(stop)
, the system returns to the start-up
state.
Remark:
If OTP is active, the IC remains in the start-up state indefinitely. The V
DD
voltage
slowly oscillates between V
DD
= V
DD(stop)
and V
DD
= V
DD(start)
.
7.3 Reset
A DC reset circuit is incorporated in the high-side driver. The high-side transistor is
switched off when the voltage on pin FS is below the high-side lockout voltage.
7.4 Oscillation control
The oscillation frequency is based on the 555-timer function. A self oscillating circuit is
created comprising the external components: resistors R
osc
, R
SENSE
and capacitor C
osc
.
R
osc
and C
osc
determine the nominal oscillating frequency.
An internal divider 0.5
f
osc(int)
is used to generate the accurate 50 % duty cycle. The
divider sets the bridge frequency at half the oscillator frequency.
The input on pin SW generates the V
SW
signal and it is used to determine the frequency in
all states except preheat. Signal V
SW(ph)
is an internally generated signal used to
determine the frequency during the preheat state.
