Product details
Overview
TDA16888G from Infineon Technologies is a high-performance PWM+PFC combi controller IC designed for off-line AC/DC power supplies operating from 90 V to 270 V AC input. It integrates synchronized PFC (boost/flyback) and PWM (forward/flyback) controllers with dual-loop average-current-mode PFC, 94% max PFC duty cycle, 50% max PWM duty cycle, 15–200 kHz adjustable oscillator frequency, and 1 A totem-pole gate drivers for both sections-enabling >94% system efficiency in industrial SMPS designs.
For engineers reviewing the TDA16888G datasheet, TDA16888G pinout, TDA16888G application, or TDA16888G equivalent, key selection criteria include internal PFC-PWM synchronization, dual overvoltage/undervoltage protection at PFC VS (pin 19), auxiliary supply sensing (AUX VS, pin 20), soft-start management (PWM SS, pin 13), and compliance with IEC 1000-3 harmonic standards.
Technical Context
The TDA16888G implements a fixed-frequency, internally synchronized architecture where the PWM section operates at the same frequency as the PFC section (fPWM = fPFC), set via ROSC (pin 16) and externally adjustable from 15 kHz to 200 kHz. Its PFC stage uses average current mode control with leading-edge PWM and dual-loop feedback (voltage loop via PFC FB/pin 17 and current loop via PFC CS/pin 4), while the PWM stage employs trailing-edge current-mode control with ramp compensation (PWM RMP/pin 15) and transformer saturation prevention via strict 50% duty-cycle limit.
Protection is implemented at multiple levels: undervoltage lockout (11 V turn-off / 14 V turn-on at VCC/pin 9), fast overvoltage shutdown triggered at PFC VS (pin 19), auxiliary undervoltage-induced PWM disable, broken-wire detection on PFC VS and other critical pins, and external shutdown via VREF (pin 2) shorting-all coordinated through integrated power management and bias control logic.

| Undervoltage-initiated PWM disable | When PFC bus drops below threshold (via C4), PWM is disabled to reduce load and restore PFC output voltage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PFC+PWM combi controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICE2PCS01 | Single-chip digital PFC+PWM with integrated 650 V CoolMOS; no external gate driver needed | Targets higher integration density and lower BOM count; lacks AUX VS pin and auxiliary supply mode | Preferred when board space is constrained and discrete MOSFET drivers are undesirable |
| UCC28070 | Analog interleaved PFC + standalone PWM controller; requires external sync circuitry for PFC–PWM coordination | Supports two-phase PFC for >1 kW systems; no internal PFC–PWM sync or integrated soft-start ramp | Chosen when interleaving is required for reduced input ripple and thermal spreading |
Compared with ICE2PCS01 and UCC28070, the TDA16888G provides verified internal synchronization, auxiliary supply operation mode, and dedicated broken-wire protection-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, single-phase 300–1000 W industrial SMPS where reliability under partial-fault conditions is critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended value for the ROSC resistor to achieve 200 kHz operation?
The ROSC pin (pin 16) sets oscillator frequency via an external resistor to ground. Per the datasheet, a 15 kΩ resistor yields ~200 kHz. Values below 12 kΩ risk instability due to internal timing margin limits; 15 kΩ is the validated minimum for full-spec operation across temperature and voltage ranges.
Can the TDA16888G operate without an auxiliary winding?
Yes-the IC can be powered directly from the PFC bus via VCC (pin 9), but auxiliary winding operation (enabled via AUX VS/pin 20) reduces no-load consumption to <15 mA and supports reliable start-up under low-line conditions. Without auxiliary supply, start-up relies on bleeder-based VCC charging, increasing no-load loss.
How does the broken-wire detection on PFC VS (pin 19) function?
Pin 19 connects to the PFC output bus via a resistive divider. If the connection opens, comparator C2 detects near-zero voltage and immediately disables PFC OUT (pin 8). This prevents uncontrolled PFC switch turn-on and potential MOSFET destruction due to floating gate drive-verified in application note AN2001-08.
Is external synchronization mandatory for stable dual-loop operation?
No-internal synchronization is default and sufficient for most designs. External SYNC (pin 12) is optional and used only when aligning multiple TDA16888G units or injecting external clock signals for EMI spread-spectrum control; improper SYNC termination may cause jitter or lock failure.
