SLUAAF9 September 2021 UCC28782
UCC28782 contains six modes of operation that summarized in UCC28782 data sheet Table 8-1. From no load to full load, the operation modes include Survival Mode, SBP2(Second StandBy Power Mode), SBP1, (First StandBy Power Mode) LPM (Low Power Mode), ABM (Adaptive Burst Mode), AAM (Adaptive Amplitude Modulation), The survival mode only kicks in when VDD voltage lower than the 13-V survival mode threshold and also performs the clamping capacitor balancing function to reduce the voltage stress of the secondary side rectifier. Typically, the system does not enter survival mode during regular load change, such as smooth load increase and decrease. The survival mode might kick in at a large output load remove, overshoot on output results in controller stop switching in a long time, then the VDD voltage might drop to touch the 13-V survival mode threshold. The following waveforms show each mode operation (no load to full load).
