Product details
Overview
UCC2804DTR/81221 from Texas Instruments is a BiCMOS current-mode PWM controller IC designed for fixed-frequency off-line and DC-DC switching power supplies. It features 50% maximum duty cycle, 5V reference voltage with ±1.5% tolerance, 12.5V turn-on/8.3V turn-off UVLO thresholds, and operates from –40°C to +85°C in an SOIC-8 package. It delivers 1A totem-pole gate drive output and supports up to 1MHz operation in AC-DC adapter and industrial SMPS designs.
For engineers reviewing the UCC2804DTR/81221 datasheet, UCC2804DTR/81221 pinout, UCC2804DTR/81221 application, or UCC2804DTR/81221 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50% duty-cycle limit, high-precision 5V reference, internal soft start, leading-edge blanking for current-sense immunity, and compatibility with UC3842/UC3842A layouts.
Technical Context
The UCC2804DTR/81221 implements current-mode control using an internal error amplifier (2MHz GBW), PWM comparator, and digital leading-edge blanking on the CS pin to suppress switching noise. Its oscillator uses external RC timing components (REF→RC resistor, RC→GND capacitor) to set frequency, with output frequency equal to oscillator frequency (not doubled).
It integrates a 1A totem-pole output stage capable of driving MOSFET gates directly, internal 5V reference with 1.5% initial tolerance and <130µV RMS noise, and undervoltage lockout with 4.2V hysteresis (12.5V ON / 8.3V OFF). The COMP pin sources/sinks current and serves as both error amplifier output and PWM comparator input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Duty Cycle | 50% - limits peak switch conduction time to prevent transformer saturation in forward/flyback topologies. |
| Reference Voltage | 5.00 V ±1.5% - provides stable feedback reference for precise output regulation in isolated power supplies. |
| UVLO Thresholds | 12.5 V turn-on / 8.3 V turn-off - ensures reliable startup and brownout protection in universal-input AC-DC applications. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and commercial power supply environments. |
| Gate Drive Output | ±1.0 A totem-pole - directly drives medium-power MOSFETs without external buffers in sub-100W designs. |
| Current Sense Blanking | 100 ns - digitally blanks CS input after OUT rising edge, eliminating need for external RC filter in most layouts. |
| Start-up Current | 100 µA typical - enables high-impedance VCC biasing for low-loss auxiliary winding startup. |
Pinout & Package
UCC2804DTR/81221 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), RoHS-compliant, with standard pinout matching UC3842/UC3842A. Pin 1 is OUT; Pin 2 is VCC; Pin 3 is REF; Pin 4 is GND; Pin 5 is FB; Pin 6 is COMP; Pin 7 is CS; Pin 8 is RC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT (Pin 1) | Power driver output | Drives MOSFET gate with ±1A peak; actively held low during UVLO. |
| VCC (Pin 2) | Supply input | Accepts 10–12V; powers internal circuitry and gate driver; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass. |
| REF (Pin 3) | 5V reference output | Stable 5V source for feedback divider and logic; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground | Common return for all internal functions; must be low-impedance connection to power ground plane. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Inverting error amp input | Connects to voltage divider from output; sets regulated output voltage via REF reference. |
| COMP (Pin 6) | Error amp output / PWM comparator input | Sources/sinks current; clamped during soft start; controls duty cycle based on FB and CS signals. |
| CS (Pin 7) | Current sense input | Monitors primary-side current via sense resistor; blanked for 100ns after each OUT pulse. |
| RC (Pin 8) | Oscillator timing | Connects to timing capacitor (to GND) and resistor (from REF); sets switching frequency per F = 1.5/(R×C). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal full-cycle soft start | COMP voltage ramped over 4–10 ms to limit inrush current and prevent overshoot at startup. |
| Leading-edge blanking (LEB) | Digital 100 ns blanking window on CS pin eliminates need for analog RC filtering and reduces propagation delay. |
| 1.5% reference tolerance | Enables tight output voltage regulation (<±2%) without post-regulation trimming in cost-sensitive SMPS. |
| 70 ns CS-to-OUT response | Ensures fast overcurrent shutdown, critical for protecting MOSFETs and transformers under fault conditions. |
| Same pinout as UC3842/UC3842A | Allows drop-in replacement in legacy UC3842-based designs without PCB layout changes. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the UCC2804DTR/81221?
The UCC2804DTR/81221 supports operation up to 1 MHz. Its oscillator frequency is set externally using a resistor from REF to RC and a capacitor from RC to GND, with frequency calculated as F = 1.5/(R × C). At 1 MHz, the device maintains stable current-mode control and full 50% duty-cycle capability, making it suitable for compact, high-density power supplies where size and efficiency are critical.
Does the UCC2804DTR/81221 require an external soft-start circuit?
No, the UCC2804DTR/81221 includes internal full-cycle soft start, which ramps the COMP voltage from 0 V to REF – 1 V over 4–10 ms. This eliminates the need for external soft-start components and ensures controlled output voltage rise, reducing stress on output capacitors and preventing inrush-related failures in the UCC2804DTR/81221-based design.
Can the UCC2804DTR/81221 replace a UC3842 in an existing design?
Yes-the UCC2804DTR/81221 has identical pinout, drive strength, and basic functional architecture as the UC3842 and UC3842A. However, it adds internal soft start and leading-edge blanking, so existing UC3842 designs may require minor tuning of feedback compensation or removal of external soft-start components to fully leverage UCC2804DTR/81221 capabilities.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on the UCC2804DTR/81221?
The REF pin on the UCC2804DTR/81221 provides a precision 5.00 V ±1.5% reference used for the error amplifier's feedback loop and as a logic supply for internal comparators and oscillators. It must be bypassed with at least 0.1 µF ceramic capacitance to GND, placed adjacent to the pin, to ensure stability and low-noise operation of the UCC2804DTR/81221 in high-frequency switching environments.
How does the current-sense blanking function work in the UCC2804DTR/81221?
The UCC2804DTR/81221 implements digital leading-edge blanking: for 100 ns after each rising edge of the OUT signal, the CS pin is disconnected from the current-sense comparator. This prevents false triggering due to MOSFET switching spikes and eliminates the need for external RC filters-reducing component count and propagation delay while maintaining robust overcurrent protection in the UCC2804DTR/81221-based power supply.
