Notification 623 - Kp is too low

FIX / REFERENCE(S)

Warning

Kp is below the minimum recommended level.

This may result in early termination of switching cycle

  • Increase Kp to a value above 0.25

 

Many Power Integrations parts check the drain current after the leading edge blanking time. If the current is higher than 75% of the current limit then the primary Switch will turn off prematurely. Under these conditions the output power will likely not be fully delivered. It is therefore advisable to change Kp to a higher value.
