4.4.8 Mainly parameters of MC3842

4.4.9 Electric circuit analysis


a. Power supply of the circuit

When Power turn on, the power will be supplied to Pin 7 of UC3842, then the UC3842 will be
powered on after the effect of interior voltage-regulator tube.

When regular work, the power of UC3842 will be supplied from the transformer, the function of VD1 is

R5,R6 and C7 are consist of feedback loop of the UC3842 Interior Error Amplifier

R2 and C5 work together with the interior oscillation circuit of UC3842

VD1, C8 and C9 supply the power to UC3842 after power supply normally

R1 supply the power to UC3842 when power on the device

e. The drive of switching tube

This circuit is a double tubes Flyback type power supply circuit. The 2 switching tubes work at the
same time for open/close. When the switching tube is closed, the Peak Reverse Voltage will be
absorbed by the diode and switching tube.

There is a big difference of voltage between the V3 and the high power line public port, the difference
is even higher than the driving voltage of UC3842. So T2 is to be used as the floating drive of the V3.
And V1, VD2 and VD3 consist of one circuit to speed up the V3 switching on/off time.

f.

C10 is the isolation for T2, R3 is current limiting unit.

R8 and R9 can reduce the input impedance of V3, to reduce the interfering.

R11and R12 can reduce the input impedance of V4, to reduce the interfering.

Z1 and Z2 are used to limit the amplitude, to protect the switching tube.

Over Current protection

I is the working current of switching tube. After the current goes to R10, it will has voltage drop of
Ucs = I R10

- 31 -

Technical Guide of How to Repair HDL Device V1.0

Ucs goes to UC3842 after R4/C6 filter circuit, to be compared with the interior threshold value 1V.
see the below picture.

If the Ucs > threshold value Uthr, output in Pin6 will cut off
If the Ucs < threshold value Uthr, output in Pin6 works.

When the switching tube working current I is higher than one value (over current phenomenon), it
means the Ucs > Uthr, in this case the switching tube will cut off and there is no output in Pin6.

Lower Voltage Protection:


When the input voltage of UC3842 is very low, less than 16V, the interior low voltage comparator will
send out a low electro level. About the low voltage comparator, please see the above picture, there is
a AND gate which is used for the low voltage comparison. If the input voltage is higher than 16V, the
output will come back to normal.

g. Output

Switch transformer secondary winding induction electromotive voltage will be adjusted by VD6. And
then it will be filtered by the type filter circuit which consists of C12L2C16

There will be a LED indicator for the output status

F2 is the over current protection part of the output

VD7 is the parallel connection of the output

R18 is the terminal resistor of the RS485 BUS

a. Working of mainly circuit:

reference to the chapter of 4.5.1

Working in Positive Half-circle: L N2 R11 R12 N3diode load N

Working in Negative Half-circle: N load N3 R12 R11 N2diode L

b. Power supply of the modular

Use the method of half wave and commutate to lower down the voltage. 1VD3 is to be used as the
commutate, while 1R11, 1Z2 to be used for preliminary voltage lower down method, to lower the
voltage from 220V to 30V.

1R10 and 1Z1 are to be used for the secondary voltage lower down method, to lower the voltage
from 30V to 15V.

Due to the fact that most of the power consumption during the voltage lower down will be sustained
on the 1R11, so the 1R11 can be damaged very easily in case that the input voltage is very high.

c. Drive

Please refer to the chapter of 4.5.6, the interior frame of the IR2127.

Process of triggering signal


1. The trigger signal will be input to a Schmitt Trigger in IR2127, to be used to generate a PULSE,
see
2. The trigger pulse goes to D-trigger, the output of the D-Trigger will be 0, low level, see
3. The trigger pulse will be compared with the result of the over current detection by using a AND
gate. If there is over current, the pulse is opposition, if it is not, the pulse keeps the same. See
4. Finally the trigger signal will be transferred to MOSFET after goes to amplifier, see .

Protection
1. Low voltage protection: when the voltage of Vb is less than 12V,

will have a RESET

level, to make sure that output of D-Trigger is low level voltage-0, see
2. Over current protection: When the output of the IR2127 is high level voltage, the signal of current
detection Vcs will be transferred to the current detect comparator, to be compared with the
built-in standard 250mV voltage, see . When the Vcs is higher than 250mV,the comparator will
have a output of a SET signal, and meantime, over current protection trigger will have a output of
so called protection high level voltage. The signal of protection high level voltage and the trigger
signal will be transferred to a logic gate of AND, to make sure the output of the trigger is a low
level voltage. And the protection high level voltage will be transferred to the feedback output
trigger. (see ) The output of the feedback output trigger will have a output of FAULT signal.

Zero Crossing detection


1. The functions of Transformer T1 are isolation and transmission. The input voltage will be
transferred into AC Current. It will be transferred into AC Voltage by using the R2. R3 and R6 are
consists of the polarization of comparator input signal.

- 38 -

Technical Guide of How to Repair HDL Device V1.0

The causing of the zero crossing signal

1. When the power supply voltage is under the positive half period, the voltage in P is higher than
voltage in N. the output of the comparator will have a output of high level voltage-1
2. When the power supply voltage is under the negative half period, the voltage in P is lower than
voltage in N. the output of the comparator will have a output of low level voltage-0
3. The zero crossing signals will be transferred to the CPU for processing:
1) CPU will send a command to break over MOSFET tube when it is exactly the time for zero
crossing, to start the timer.
2) CPU read the break over time of the MOSFET, to compare it with the standard time.
3) CPU will send a command to cut off the MOSFET in case of equivalent.
