Product details
Overview
ICE2PCS06 from Infineon Technologies is a standalone Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller IC for boost-topology AC-DC front-ends, featuring 65 kHz fixed switching frequency, 3 V trimmed internal reference voltage, input brown-out protection (VINS threshold: 0.71 V turn-off / 1.5 V turn-on), and average current control architecture. It operates across universal AC input (85–265 VAC) and delivers fast dynamic response during load jumps in industrial SMPS and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the ICE2PCS06 datasheet, ICE2PCS06 pinout, ICE2PCS06 application, or ICE2PCS06 equivalent, key selection criteria include its CCM-only operation with light-load DCM fallback, external voltage/current loop compensation flexibility, soft-start startup behavior, and Class D IEC 61000-3-2 compliance support.
Technical Context
The ICE2PCS06 implements a cascaded dual-loop control: an inner average current loop (sensed via ISENSE, compensated at ICOMP) shapes sinusoidal input current, while the outer voltage loop (sensed at VSENSE, compensated at VCOMP) regulates output bus voltage to 3 V reference. It uses direct input voltage sensing (VINS) for brown-out detection with hysteresis and integrates cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting with soft overcurrent protection.
Its gate driver delivers clamped 15.0 V output (typ.) to drive external MOSFETs, supports up to 95% max duty cycle at 25 °C, and incorporates open-loop detection, over-voltage protection, and VCC under-voltage lockout (11.8 V turn-on / 11.0 V turn-off). Startup features linear VCOMP ramping and window-detect level-shifting to accelerate output voltage rise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 65 kHz ±5% (trimmed internal oscillator; enables predictable EMI filter design and transformer sizing) |
| Input Voltage Range | 85–265 VAC (supports global mains without hardware reconfiguration) |
| Reference Voltage | 3.0 V ±2% (enables precise 400 V DC bus regulation via resistive divider at VSENSE) |
| Brown-Out Threshold | VINS < 0.71 V (shutdown); VINS > 1.5 V (restart) - provides clean hysteresis for stable line-failure recovery |
| Max Duty Cycle | 95% at 25 °C (allows high step-up ratio in boost converters with margin for transient conditions) |
| VCC Operating Range | 11–26 V (requires auxiliary supply; UVLO at 11.8 V turn-on / 11.0 V turn-off ensures reliable power sequencing) |
| Gate Drive Output | Clamped 15.0 V (typ.) - directly drives standard N-channel MOSFETs without external level-shifting) |
Pinout & Package
ICE2PCS06 is available in PG-DIP-8 (through-hole) and ICE2PCS06G in PG-DSO-8 (surface-mount) packages - both 8-pin SOIC/DIP outlines with identical pin functions and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | IC Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and power sections; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| ICOMP (Pin 2) | Current Loop Compensation Node | Connects external RC network to stabilize inner current control loop; integrates OTA2 output for average current regulation |
| ISENSE (Pin 3) | Current Sense Input | Accepts voltage drop across external shunt resistor (R1); feeds both average current control and peak current limit circuitry |
| VINS (Pin 4) | Brown-Out Sense Input | Monitors filtered rectified line voltage via resistor divider; triggers shutdown below 0.71 V to prevent unstable PFC operation |
| VCOMP (Pin 5) | Voltage Loop Compensation Node | Hosts external compensation network (RC/OPA) to set bandwidth and phase margin of outer voltage regulation loop |
| VSENSE (Pin 6) | Output Voltage Feedback Input | Receives scaled bus voltage; compared internally to 3 V reference to regulate 400 V DC output within ±1% |
| VCC (Pin 7) | IC Supply Input | Powered by isolated auxiliary supply; UVLO ensures operation only when stable bias is present (11.8 V min) |
| GATE (Pin 8) | MOSFET Gate Driver Output | Drives external boost switch; 15 V clamp prevents MOSFET overdrive and reduces gate loss |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Average Current Control Architecture | Enables sinusoidal input current draw meeting IEC 61000-3-2 Class D harmonic limits without complex digital computation |
| External Loop Compensation | Separate ICOMP and VCOMP pins allow independent tuning of current and voltage loop dynamics for robust stability across load and line variations |
| Direct Input Brown-Out Sensing | VINS pin eliminates need for secondary-side monitoring or optocoupler feedback, reducing BOM count and improving fault response time |
| Soft-Start with Linear VCOMP Ramp | OTA1 sources ≤30 mA into VCOMP during startup, ensuring controlled inrush current and stress-free charging of bulk capacitor |
| Integrated Protection Suite | Combines OVP, OLP, SOC, PCL, and UVLO - avoids requirement for discrete protection ICs and simplifies safety certification |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CCM-PFC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICE2PCS01G | No integrated brown-out detection; requires external circuitry for VINS functionality; same 65 kHz frequency and pinout | Lacks native brown-out hysteresis - unsuitable for unstable-grid environments without added components | Select ICE2PCS06G when brown-out immunity is required; ICE2PCS01G only if cost-sensitive and grid is stable |
| UCC28070 | Interleaved dual-channel CCM controller; higher integration (no external oscillator); 60–120 kHz programmable frequency | Designed for >1 kW interleaved PFC; requires more layout complexity and dual inductors | Choose UCC28070 for higher power or lower THD; ICE2PCS06 remains optimal for single-phase ≤1 kW with minimal BOM |
Compared with ICE2PCS01G, ICE2PCS06 adds critical brown-out resilience without pin or footprint change; versus UCC28070, it offers simpler single-channel implementation and lower component count for sub-1 kW designs, trading interleaving benefits for cost and layout simplicity.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the ICOMP pin on ICE2PCS06?
The ICOMP pin serves as the compensation node for the inner current control loop. It accepts an external RC network that stabilizes the average current regulation by filtering and integrating the OTA2 output. This allows designers to tailor loop bandwidth and phase margin independently from the voltage loop, ensuring stable operation across wide line and load ranges without oscillation or overshoot.
Can ICE2PCS06 operate without an auxiliary VCC supply?
No - ICE2PCS06 requires an external auxiliary supply connected to the VCC pin (Pin 7), operating between 11 V and 26 V. It lacks an integrated high-voltage start-up circuit or bootstrap capability. The IC draws ~300 µA in standby but needs stable VCC ≥11.8 V to initiate gate drive; relying on bootstrapped or capacitive-dropper VCC risks UVLO-induced shutdown during transients.
How does ICE2PCS06 handle light-load conditions?
Under light load, ICE2PCS06 transitions from CCM to Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) depending on boost inductor value and output power. While CCM dominates above ~20% load, DCM operation at very low loads maintains Class D compliance per IEC 61000-3-2, albeit with slightly higher current harmonics. No mode-switching control logic is required - the topology naturally shifts based on energy transfer dynamics.
Is ICE2PCS06 compatible with the ICE2PCS06G package footprint?
Yes - ICE2PCS06 (PG-DIP-8) and ICE2PCS06G (PG-DSO-8) share identical pin numbering, electrical functionality, and thermal specifications. They differ only in package type: through-hole DIP vs. surface-mount SOIC. PCB layouts can accommodate both via dual-footprint land patterns, enabling prototyping with DIP and volume production with DSO without redesign.
