Oscillator
The switching frequency is internally fixed at 60 kHz (part number VIPER16LN or LD) or 115
kHz (part number VIPER16HN or HD).
In both cases the switching frequency is modulated by approximately ±4 kHz (60 kHz
version) or ±8 kHz (115 kHz version) at 230 Hz (typical) rate, so that the resulting spread-
spectrum action distributes the energy of each harmonic of the switching frequency over a
number of sideband harmonics having the same energy on the whole but smaller
amplitudes.
Soft start-up
During the converters' start-up phase, the soft-start function progressively increases the
cycle-by-cycle drain current limit, up to the default value I
further limited and the output voltage is progressively increased reducing the stress on the
secondary diode. The soft-start time is internally fixed to t
on
after a fault event.
This function helps prevent transformers' saturation during start-up and short-circuit.
Adjustable current limit set point
The VIPer16 includes a current mode PWM controller: cycle by cycle the drain current is
sensed through the integrated resistor R
