Product details
Overview
UCC25710DWR from Texas Instruments is an LLC half-bridge controller for multi-string LED lighting, providing closed-loop current regulation across N LED strings, programmable FMIN (30.5 kHz typical) and FMAX (300 kHz typical), 500 ns fixed dead time, and integrated PWM dimming control with slew-rate-adjusted LLC on/off ramping. It targets high-efficiency LCD TV backlight systems using multi-transformer architectures.
For engineers reviewing the UCC25710DWR datasheet, UCC25710DWR pinout, UCC25710DWR application, or UCC25710DWR equivalent, this device delivers precise string-current matching (<1%), dimming linearity <2% over 1–100% duty cycle, and dual-threshold protection (restart + latch-off) - critical for robust LED backlight power design.
Technical Context
The UCC25710DWR implements a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) whose frequency sweeps from FMAX down to zero at low dimming levels to maximize efficiency, while maintaining closed-loop current control via ICOMP-sourced VCO input during LED ON-time. Its GM current amplifier regulates LED string current by comparing CS voltage against CREF-set reference (0.6–2.7 V range), with internal clamps at 0.5 V and 2.8 V.
Dimming is executed through coordinated control: DIM input gates both external LED series switches (via LEDSW output) and the LLC half-bridge (GD1/GD2), with DSR-programmed slew rates suppressing audible noise; DTY/DADJ circuitry extends LLC ON-time beyond LED ON-time at low dimming duty cycles to sustain regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| FMIN | 30.5 kHz typical - sets lowest operating frequency for light-load efficiency optimization |
| FMAX | 300 kHz typical - defines upper switching limit for transient response and transformer sizing |
| Dead Time | 500 ns fixed - prevents shoot-through in half-bridge gate drive outputs GD1/GD2 |
| VREF Output | 5.0 V ±1.5% - supplies bias for internal blocks and external resistor dividers (e.g., CREF) |
| Gate Drive Current | ±400 mA / ±800 mA peak sink/source - drives primary-side gate transformers directly |
| Dimming Linearity | <2% error over 1–100% duty cycle - ensures consistent luminance across full dimming range |
| LED String Matching | <1% current mismatch between strings - enables uniform brightness in multi-transformer backlight designs |
Pinout & Package
UCC25710DWR is housed in a lead-free 20-pin SOIC package (12.80 mm × 7.50 mm body size) with standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint and thermal resistance RθJA = 79 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 11–18 V DC; powers gate drivers and internal bias rails; UVLO activates at 9.3 V turn-on |
| GD1 / GD2 | Half-bridge gate drive outputs | 180° out-of-phase, 500 ns dead time; drive primary side of gate drive transformers |
| GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for gate drive signals and analog sensing; requires low-inductance PCB layout |
| VREF | 5-V precision reference output | Stable 5.0 V ±1.5% rail; powers external dividers (e.g., CREF) and supports up to 10 mA load |
| LEDSW | PWM-controlled LED series switch driver | Active-low output synchronized to DIM; requires external FET driver for high-side LED switching |
| DIM | PWM dimming input | Active-high signal (1.2–1.5 V threshold); controls both LEDSW and LLC stage timing |
| BLON | Backlight enable input | Active-high (1.2 V threshold); enables VREF and initiates soft-start sequence when asserted |
| OV / UV | LED string overvoltage/undervoltage sense | Resistive divider inputs; trip thresholds at 2.6 V (OV) and 2.4 V (UV); trigger 10-ms reset + soft start |
| CS | Current sense input | Monitors LED string current via shunt resistor; compared to CREF voltage in transconductance amplifier |
| ICOMP | Current amplifier compensation output | Loop compensation node; slaved to VCO during regulation; tri-stated during PWM OFF-time |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Closed-loop LED string current control | Maintains tight current regulation across all strings using CS/CREF feedback and ICOMP-compensated VCO |
| Programmable dimming slew rate | DSR pin accepts capacitor to set symmetric positive/negative VCO frequency ramp rates, eliminating audible noise |
| Dual-threshold input overcurrent protection | CL pin provides restart (0.95 V) or latch-off (1.9 V) response - enables fail-safe system-level fault handling |
| Accurate VREF with wide load capability | 5.0 V ±1.5% over –40°C to 125°C; supports 10 mA external load for stable biasing of sensing networks |
| Soft-start with SS pin control | ISS = 2.5 µA charging current; 4.2 V threshold ensures controlled VCO ramp-up and avoids inrush stress |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LLC-based multi-string LED controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC25713DWR | Same SOIC-20 package; adds integrated 5-V LDO for VCC generation (eliminates external bias supply) | Better suited for designs lacking dedicated 12-V bias rail; identical dimming and protection features | Select UCC25713DWR if simplifying auxiliary supply design outweighs minor BOM cost increase |
| NCP1397ADR2G | Fixed-frequency LLC controller (no VCO sweep); no integrated LEDSW output or DSR dimming ramp control | Requires external PWM logic for LED switching; lacks closed-loop dimming linearity compensation | Choose NCP1397ADR2G only for non-dimming or analog-dimming-only systems where cost is primary constraint |
Compared with UCC25710DWR, UCC25713DWR reduces system component count via integrated LDO, while NCP1397ADR2G trades dimming sophistication for lower gate-count implementation - making UCC25710DWR optimal for high-fidelity, flicker-free backlighting requiring precise current and timing control.

FAQ
What is the recommended VCC bypass capacitor for UCC25710DWR?
The UCC25710DWR requires a minimum 0.47-µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the VCC pin and GND. This capacitor stabilizes the internal gate drivers and VREF rail during transient load changes. Larger values (e.g., 1 µF) may improve noise immunity but must maintain low ESL/ESR to prevent resonance issues in high-frequency LLC operation.
How does UCC25710DWR achieve dimming linearity below 10% duty cycle?
The UCC25710DWR maintains dimming linearity down to 1% by extending the LLC ON-time beyond the LEDSW active period using DADJ/DTY circuitry. This preserves closed-loop current regulation even when LED current is gated off, preventing loss of control and ensuring <2% total linearity error across the full 1–100% range.
Can UCC25710DWR drive MOSFETs directly without gate drive transformers?
No - UCC25710DWR's GD1/GD2 outputs are designed to drive the primary side of gate drive transformers, not power MOSFETs directly. Its ±400 mA / ±800 mA peak drive capability targets transformer-coupled isolation; direct FET driving would exceed safe operating area due to lack of level-shifting and insufficient voltage swing.
What protection features does UCC25710DWR include for LED string faults?
The UCC25710DWR provides OV and UV protection via dedicated pins (OV/UV) with accurate 2.6 V / 2.4 V thresholds and 240 mV hysteresis. Fault detection triggers immediate GD1/GD2 and LEDSW disable, followed by a 10-ms TRSTDLY reset delay and soft-start recovery - ensuring safe, repeatable fault handling without manual intervention.
Is the VREF pin on UCC25710DWR internally regulated and how much current can it source?
Yes - the VREF pin delivers a tightly regulated 5.0 V ±1.5% output over –40°C to 125°C and can source/sink up to ±10 mA. It powers internal circuitry and external resistor networks (e.g., CREF divider), and remains enabled only when both VCC exceeds 9.3 V and BLON is above 1.2 V.
