I look at that block diagram one more time and I think that it works this way:
The oscilator gives the pulses. PWM latch is swiched on by it and that is gonna swich on the mosfet. PWM latch is reset by pulse to R. This puls is generated by the
current comparator, OR by a
OV comparator.
- The current comp is comparing voltage at SENSE pin with voltage at RLOOP. This means that the mosfet is switched off when the current (sensed by a Rsense) exceed some value (it should be max 140mV, more later).
- The OV comp. is on when feedback voltage (from output) exceed 1,315V. This arangement is for so called "skipping". It will skipp the pulses when output voltage is higher by 6,5% (234,3V in your case).
The feedback is also going through the
transconductance EA amplifier which is amplyfying by g
m(i really don't know why they use mho - ohm backwards; instead of S-siemens) this means that difference between FB and reference 1,23V is "changed" to a current. This current is charging external capacitor at I
TH pin. Voltage from this pin is again transfered to a current (by the V-to-I) and this current is driving the R
LOOP.
This all means that if the difference between FB and reference 1,23V is low, the voltage at R
LOOP(remember, it coresponds to max. inductor current) is decreased; when it's high, the max. inductor current is increased.
So the combination of Rc and Cc1 (R3 and C2 in your schematic) is affecting
max. inductor current versus the
difference of the
output voltage from the
selected value.
The example would be:
Let's say that you want 220V at the output. The actual value is 210V. You have divider (R6 and R7) set to about 1/179. FB voltage is 210*1/179 = 1,173V. I
th current is gonna be (1,23V-FB)*g
m. g
m (from datasheet at page 3) is 650uS. I
th=(1,23V-FB)*650u=37uA. This current is charging your C2 via R3. If C2 is not charged (I am over-simplyfying) It will make difference of about 0.8V reducing the inductor current from 140mV/R
sense to 80mV/R
sense (I guess - since the range of voltage for Ith is 0V-1,4V and it's directly responding to 140mV at V
sense(max)). (I
TH is also probably clamped at that 1,4V value, so you won't get higher current than 140mV/R
sense.)
So increase the R3 and you will get higher inductor current (and big changes of that current) corresponding to how much your output is off from selected voltage. Decrease it and you will get slower response (and the current won't change that much).
Increase the C2 if you wanna slow ramp-up, decrease it if you wanna quick one.
