Figure 33. QRC Operation with Limited Frequency
8. AVS (Alternating Valley Switching): Due to the
quasi-resonant operation with limited frequency, the
switching frequency varies depending on input voltage,
load transition, and so on. At high input voltage, the
switching on time is relatively small compared to low
input voltage. The input voltage variance is small and the
switching-frequency modulation width becomes small. To
improve the EMI performance, AVS is enabled when
input voltage is high and the switching on time is small.
Internally, quasi-resonant operation is divided into two
categories; one is first valley switching and the other is
second-valley switching after blanking time. In AVS, two
successive occurrences of first-valley switching and the
other two successive occurrences of second-valley
switching is alternatively selected to maximize frequency
modulation. As depicted in Figure 34, the switching
frequency hops when the input voltage is high. The
internal timing diagram of AVS is described in Figure 35.
