Product details
Overview
UCC2817DTR from Texas Instruments is a BiCMOS active power factor correction (PFC) controller for boost preregulators, implementing average current-mode control to achieve near-unity power factor and low line current distortion. It operates across worldwide AC line voltages (85–265 VAC), features 7.5-V reference output, 16-V/10-V UVLO thresholds, and drives external MOSFETs via integrated totem-pole gate driver DRVOUT - used in sub-300-W IEC61000-3-2-compliant PC and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the UCC2817DTR datasheet, UCC2817DTR pinout, UCC2817DTR application, or UCC2817DTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range (vs. UCC3817's 0°C to +70°C), 150-μA start-up current, leading-edge PWM modulation, and accurate 7.5-V reference with ±2-mV current amplifier offset - critical for low-distortion PFC design at light loads.
Technical Context
The UCC2817DTR integrates an analog multiplier with three inputs (VAOUT, IAC, VFF) to generate a current-mode command signal (IMOUT) that shapes input current to match line voltage waveform. Its average current-mode architecture uses CAI/MOUT differential sensing and CAOUT feedback to maintain stable sinusoidal line current with improved noise immunity.
It employs leading-edge PWM modulation synchronized to zero-current detection, reducing bulk capacitor ripple current. The controller includes dedicated OVP/EN window comparator (1.9 V enable threshold), soft-start (SS) with 10-μA charge current, and zero-power detection (0.33 V threshold on VAOUT) to disable switching during no-load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C - enables use in industrial and extended-temperature environments where UCC3817 is not rated. |
| VREF Output | 7.5 V ±1.5% - precision reference for biasing and sensing; delivers up to 20 mA with short-circuit protection. |
| UVLO Thresholds | 16 V turn-on / 10 V turn-off - wide hysteresis prevents oscillation during brownout; distinct from UCC2818 (10.5 V/10 V). |
| Start-up Current | 150 μA typical - minimizes auxiliary supply burden during initial power-up. |
| Current Amp Offset | ±2 mV max - ensures low distortion at light load by maintaining accurate current sensing down to GND. |
| Oscillator Freq Range | 6 kHz to 220 kHz - set via RT/CT; supports flexible design of boost stage switching frequency and EMI optimization. |
| Gate Driver Output | DRVOUT with 5–12 Ω pullup / 2–10 Ω pulldown - drives MOSFET gates directly; requires external series resistor to limit overshoot. |
Pinout & Package
UCC2817DTR is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 3.91 mm × 9.9 mm, optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal performance (RθJA = 73.9°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (1) | Reference ground | All internal voltages referenced to this node; bypass VCC and VREF directly here with ≥0.1-μF ceramic capacitor. |
| PKLMT (2) | Peak current limit input | Threshold is 0 V; connects to negative side of current sense resistor via divider to set precise peak current trip point. |
| CAOUT (3) | Current amplifier output | Wide-bandwidth op-amp output driving PWM latch; compensation network placed between CAOUT and MOUT. |
| CAI (4) | Current amp noninverting input | Connects to GND-side of current sense resistor; functional down to and below GND for bidirectional sensing. |
| MOUT (5) | Multiplier output / current amp inverting input | High-impedance node combining multiplier current and current amp feedback; enables differential configuration for noise immunity. |
| IAC (6) | Line voltage proportional current input | Accepts ≤500 μA current proportional to rectified AC line; primary feedforward path for distortion reduction. |
| VAOUT (7) | Voltage error amplifier output | Regulates boost output voltage; internally clamped to ~5.5 V to prevent overshoot; feeds zero-power comparator. |
| VFF (8) | Feed-forward RMS voltage | Generated by mirroring ½ IAC through external RC filter; 1.4 V at low line, scales with VAC2 for line-voltage feedforward. |
| VREF (9) | 7.5-V reference output | Stable, current-limited reference for external circuitry; disabled when VCC < UVLO; requires local 0.1-μF bypass. |
| OVP/EN (10) | Overvoltage/enable input | Window comparator: disables driver above programmed OVP level or forces shutdown if pulled <1.9 V (typ). |
| VSENSE (11) | Voltage amp inverting input | Connected to output voltage divider and compensation network; sets regulated output voltage (e.g., 385 V DC). |
| RT (12) | Oscillator timing resistor | Resistor from RT to GND programs oscillator charging current; nominal voltage = 3 V; 10–100 kΩ recommended. |
| SS (13) | Soft-start control | Charges external capacitor with 10-μA current source; ramps duty cycle gradually; discharges fast on VCC dropout. |
| CT (14) | Oscillator timing capacitor | Capacitor from CT to GND sets frequency per f ≈ 0.6/(RT × CT); requires shortest possible GND trace. |
| VCC (15) | Supply input | 10–17 V operation; must exceed 16 V to enable; bypassed directly to GND to absorb MOSFET gate charge spikes. |
| DRVOUT (16) | Gate drive output | Totem-pole MOSFET driver for boost switch; requires external series gate resistor (e.g., 11 Ω @ 18 V, 1.2 A sink). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the UCC2817DTR?
The UCC2817DTR is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial and extended-temperature applications where the UCC3817DTR (0°C to +70°C) would not qualify. This rating is confirmed in the device's Recommended Operating Conditions table and distinguishes it within the UCCx817 family.
Does the UCC2817DTR support leading-edge or trailing-edge PWM modulation?
The UCC2817DTR implements leading-edge PWM modulation, which synchronizes the switch turn-on with zero-current detection to reduce RMS ripple current in the output bulk capacitor. This feature is explicitly documented in the Features and Detailed Description sections of the datasheet and contributes to longer capacitor lifetime in high-reliability designs.
What is the purpose of the VFF pin on the UCC2817DTR?
The VFF pin on the UCC2817DTR provides a feed-forward voltage derived from the squared line voltage (via IAC mirroring), enabling line-voltage proportional gain adjustment in the analog multiplier. At low line, VFF should be 1.4 V; it scales with VAC2 to maintain constant power regulation and improve line transient response without additional compensation.
Can the UCC2817DTR be used as a direct replacement for the UCC3817DTR?
The UCC2817DTR is pin-compatible and functionally identical to the UCC3817DTR, but adds extended temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and lower start-up current (150 μA vs. 200 μA). No PCB changes are required; however, system-level validation at low temperature is recommended due to differing qualification scope.
What is the maximum gate drive current capability of the UCC2817DTR's DRVOUT pin?
The UCC2817DTR's DRVOUT pin delivers up to 1.2 A peak sink current and approximately 900 mA peak source current, with pulldown resistance of 2–10 Ω and pullup resistance of 5–12 Ω. An external series gate resistor is mandatory to damp ringing - e.g., 11 Ω for 18-V VCC and 1.2-A sink, per Figure 6 in the datasheet.
