7. Functional description
7.1 Supply voltage
The UBA2212 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 IC contains two internal diodes with an internal Zener diode. 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 V
DD(stop)
.
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 for as long as this is the
case. 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 signal V
SW
. The V
SW
signal is used to determine the
frequency in all states except preheat. Signal V
CB
is an internally generated signal used to
determine the frequency during the preheat state.
