Product details
Overview
UCC2804DTR/81260G4 from Texas Instruments is a low-power BiCMOS current-mode PWM controller IC designed for off-line fixed-frequency switching power supplies. It features 50% maximum duty cycle, 5V reference voltage, 12.5V turn-on/8.3V turn-off UVLO thresholds, and 1A totem-pole gate driver output - enabling robust control of flyback or forward converters in AC-DC adapters and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the UCC2804DTR/81260G4 datasheet, UCC2804DTR/81260G4 pinout, UCC2804DTR/81260G4 application, or UCC2804DTR/81260G4 equivalent, key selection criteria include UVLO hysteresis (4.2V), internal leading-edge blanking (100ns), 70ns current-sense-to-output response, soft-start implementation, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with UC3842/UC3842A layouts.
Technical Context
The UCC2804DTR/81260G4 implements fixed-frequency current-mode control using an internal oscillator with RC timing (REF→RC resistor, RC→GND capacitor), a high-gain error amplifier with COMP sourcing/sinking capability, and dual current-sense comparators - one for PWM regulation and one for over-current fault protection. Its architecture includes full-cycle internal soft start and digital leading-edge blanking on the CS pin.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C, draws only 100µA startup supply current and 500µA typical operating current, supports up to 1MHz switching frequency, and delivers 1.5% tolerance on its 5V reference - making it suitable for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained off-line power designs requiring stable regulation and fast transient response.
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 precise feedback reference for output voltage regulation accuracy. |
| UVLO Turn-On/Off | 12.5 V / 8.3 V - ensures reliable start-up and brownout protection in 115/230VAC-derived supplies. |
| CS Blanking Time | 100 ns - eliminates switching noise false triggering on current-sense input without external RC filter. |
| OUT Drive Current | ±1.0 A - directly drives medium-size MOSFET gates without external buffer stages. |
| Response Time | 70 ns (CS to OUT) - enables fast over-current shutdown for improved system safety and reliability. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade ambient operation without derating. |

| 3 (REF) | 5V reference output | Stable 5V source for error amp bias and external circuitry; requires ≥0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| 4 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Common return for all internal functions; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 (FB) | Inverting error amp input | Receives feedback voltage from output divider; high-impedance node requiring short PCB trace. |
| 6 (COMP) | Error amp output / PWM comparator input | Sources/sinks current; clamped during soft start; controls duty cycle via PWM comparator threshold. |
| 7 (CS) | Current sense input | Monitors primary-side current via shunt/resistor; digitally blanked for 100ns after each OUT rising edge. |
| 8 (RC) | Oscillator timing | Connects to REF via timing resistor and to GND via timing capacitor to set switching frequency. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the UCC2804DTR/81260G4?
The UCC2804DTR/81260G4 is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial-grade temperature range ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as factory automation equipment, outdoor power adapters, and enclosed industrial enclosures without thermal derating. The device's BiCMOS process contributes to stable electrical characteristics across this full range.
Does the UCC2804DTR/81260G4 require an external RC filter on the CS pin?
No, the UCC2804DTR/81260G4 does not require an external RC filter on the CS pin due to its built-in 100ns digital leading-edge blanking. This feature disconnects the CS input from the comparator immediately after the OUT rising edge, effectively suppressing switch-node noise transients. External filtering may still be used in unusually noisy layouts, but it is not necessary for standard implementations of the UCC2804DTR/81260G4.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on the UCC2804DTR/81260G4?
The REF pin on the UCC2804DTR/81260G4 provides a stable 5.00 V ±1.5% reference voltage used internally by the error amplifier and other circuit blocks, and can also power external circuitry such as feedback dividers or optocoupler bias networks. It must be bypassed with at least a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the pin to ensure stability and low-noise operation - a requirement explicitly defined in the UCC2804DTR/81260G4 datasheet.
How does the soft start function work in the UCC2804DTR/81260G4?
The UCC2804DTR/81260G4 implements internal full-cycle soft start by clamping the COMP voltage during power-up, allowing it to rise gradually over approximately 4–10 ms depending on external compensation. This controlled ramp limits inrush current, prevents output overshoot, and ensures smooth transition into steady-state regulation. Unlike external soft-start circuits, this function requires no additional components and is active on every power cycle of the UCC2804DTR/81260G4.
Is the UCC2804DTR/81260G4 pin-compatible with the UC3842?
Yes, the UCC2804DTR/81260G4 has the same pin configuration as the UC3842 and UC3842A, including identical pin numbering, functions, and electrical behavior for OUT, VCC, GND, FB, COMP, CS, RC, and REF. This enables direct drop-in replacement in existing UC3842-based designs - retaining the same PCB layout while adding benefits like internal soft start and leading-edge blanking without modification to the UCC2804DTR/81260G4 footprint.
