DESCRIPTION
Powersaving technology helps the device optimize efficiency across the full operating range. Under heavy loads, CCM reduces the peak MOSFET current so the controller can be used across a wider load range. Under light loads, DCM reduces the switching frequency for better efficiency. Burst mode has configurable, digital soft switching to improve both light-load efficiency and audible noise. Current mode control is implemented in the LLC stage to achieve good stability and fast response. Three operation modes are implemented based on the different load conditions: steady state, skip, and burst mode. This allows different load conditions to be independently optimized for efficiency. At light loads, digital, frequency-controlled burst mode is applied to reduce both switching power loss and audible noise. Adaptive dead-time adjustment (ADTA) and capacitive mode protection (CMP) is also applied to guarantee zero-voltage switching (ZVS) without capacitive mode operation. An external DC source can provide a supply for VCC.
