Survival Mode Due To Boost Inductor DCR Too High.

UCC28782 integrates a boost converter to supply VDD in a wide output voltage range application, such as USB PD charger. The typical UVLO threshold of boost converter is 1.23 V, If BIN capacitors are occasionally completely discharged, shown in Figure 4-1, resulting in additional power losses, irregular operation and higher output ripple, this could be caused by boost inductor DCR too high which results in VBIN UVLO not proper been detected (UVLO off threshold of VBIN is around 1.23V, large DCR of boost inductor will lead to VBIN always higher than 1.23 V during boost Mosfet turn on time.). The boost converter always turns on until the energy on BIN capacitors be consumed up.

GUID-20210804-CA0I-MZJL-JJPV-9TSDTFQQWQLR-low.png Figure 4-2 Boost Inductor DCR = 0.56 ohm

Solution: Choose the boost inductor with DCR less than 1 ohm. 0.5 ohm ~0.7 ohm is preferred.
