Introduction
The operation of the UC3584Secondary Side Post Regulator can quickly be evaluated in a given sys-tem by using this separate board containing a fully functional auxiliary converter.This controller pro-vides a semiconductor solution for regulating auxil-iary outputs in transformer isolated power supplies where magnetic amplifiers (magamps)where previ-ously used.Circuit operation is synchronized to the main power converter and is based on leading edge modulation.This technique is compatible with both primary side current-mode and voltage-mode controls employed by the main converter.
Circuit Description
As shown in Fig.1,a buck power stage produces the regulated auxiliary output at the AUX OUT con-nector.The input power is provided at V IN and can be connected to a variety of single and double ended buck-derived converters.One such case is shown in Fig.2for a push-pull converter.This power connection is made at the common cathode of the main output node just before the main filter inductor.Connection at this node affords both syn-chronization to the primary controller and power transfer.Note that the oscillator is set at approxi-mately 150kHz to make synchronization to a 170kHz converter possible.To guarantee synchro-nization,the free running oscillator frequency should be set to less than the main frequency by adjusting R11 and C10.

The auxiliary circuit is designed to interface to a 5.0V main output and its output is set to 3.3V at 10W.Other configurations are possible with minor changes to R7,C7,R8,R9,C8,C9and R10.The surface mount design permits the use of the lowest thermal impedance package (UC3584DW)and minimizes required circuit board https://www.wendangku.net/doc/072781620.html,pensa-tion of the auxiliary circuit uses a lead-lag network providing the most flexibility for other designs.Power to the IC (U1)is generated by the boost cir-cuit consisting primarily of L2,D3,C14and an in-ternal boost switch.The boost circuit can be re-placed if desired,by a simple voltage doubler attached to the main transformer secondary wind-ing.
