Product details
Overview
UCC2819AD from Texas Instruments is a BiCMOS active power factor correction (PFC) controller IC designed for boost preregulators in AC-DC front-end stages. It implements average current mode control, achieves near-unity power factor across worldwide line voltages (85–265 VAC), supports programmable output voltage via VAI pin, and operates from 10.8 V to 17 V supply with 150 µA typical start-up current.
For engineers reviewing the UCC2819AD datasheet, UCC2819AD pinout, UCC2819AD application, or UCC2819AD equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world PFC design constraints (e.g., 93–100% max duty cycle, ±1.2 A gate drive), and validated alternatives for industrial and telecom power supplies requiring stable 40–120 kHz switching and −40°C to +85°C operation.
Technical Context
The UCC2819AD integrates a voltage error amplifier with externally accessible non-inverting input (VAI), a current amplifier with CAI/MOUT differential sensing, and an analog multiplier that shapes line current using IAC and VFF inputs. Its leading-edge modulation reduces bulk capacitor ripple, while zero-power comparator (0.33 V threshold on VAOUT) enables low-power disable functionality.
It features programmable oscillator frequency (via RT/CT), over-voltage protection (OVP/EN window comparator with 1.9 V enable threshold), and accurate 7.5 V reference (±13 mV tolerance over −40°C to +85°C). The gate driver delivers ±1.2 A peak current with 9 Ω pull-up and 4 Ω pull-down resistance, optimized for robust MOSFET switching in high-efficiency PFC stages.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits; bypass VCC/VREF directly to this pin |
| PKLMT (Pin 2) | Peak current limit input | Zero-volt threshold; connects to current-sense resistor divider for precise PFC current limiting |
| CAOUT (Pin 3) | Current amplifier output | Drives PWM latch; compensation network placed between CAOUT and MOUT |
| CAI (Pin 4) | Current amplifier non-inverting input | Connects to GND side of sense resistor; functional down to and below ground |
| MOUT (Pin 5) | Multiplier output / CA inverting input | High-impedance node enabling differential current sensing and leading-edge modulation |
| IAC (Pin 6) | Line voltage proportional current input | Accepts up to 500 µA; primary input for RMS-based feed-forward line regulation |
| VAOUT (Pin 7) | Voltage amplifier output | Internally clamped to ~5.5 V; regulates boost output voltage via VSENSE divider |
| VFF (Pin 8) | Feed-forward voltage | Generated from IAC mirror; sets multiplier gain scaling for line-voltage-dependent current shaping |
| VREF (Pin 9) | 7.5 V reference output | Supplies 20 mA; disabled below UVLO; bypass with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| OVP/EN (Pin 10) | Over-voltage/enable input | Window comparator: disables driver above programmed OVP level or below 1.9 V enable threshold |
| VSENSE (Pin 11) | Voltage amplifier inverting input | Connects to output voltage divider; forms closed-loop regulation with VAI/VAOUT |
| RT (Pin 12) | Oscillator timing current | 10–100 kΩ resistor to GND sets charging current; nominal voltage = 3 V |
| VAI (Pin 13) | Voltage amplifier non-inverting input | Externally accessible for tracking boost output (e.g., tied to VFF for line-voltage scaling) |
| CT (Pin 14) | Oscillator timing capacitor | Capacitor to GND sets frequency: f ≈ 0.6/(RT × CT); short, direct trace required |
| VCC (Pin 15) | Positive supply input | Requires ≥20 mA; bypass directly to GND; inhibited below 9.7 V UVLO turn-on threshold |
| DRVOUT (Pin 16) | Gate driver output | Totem-pole MOSFET driver; use series gate resistor (e.g., 11 Ω) to damp overshoot |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PFC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC2819APW | TSSOP-16 package (4.4 mm × 5.0 mm), lower θJA (123–147°C/W), MSL Level-2 vs Level-1 | Better suited for space-constrained, thermally dense PCB layouts with automated reflow | Select when board area is limited and thermal management requires finer pitch packaging |
| UCC3819AD | 0°C to +70°C temp range, no VAI pin access, identical pinout and core functionality | Targeted for commercial-grade applications where extended temperature range and output voltage tracking are not required | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-industrial designs where −40°C operation and programmable VAI are unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the UCC2819AD?
The UCC2819AD is rated for −40°C to +85°C ambient operation, making it suitable for industrial and telecom power supplies where extended thermal performance is required. This range is explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and distinguishes it from the commercial-grade UCC3819AD (0°C to +70°C).
How does the VAI pin function in the UCC2819AD?
The VAI pin on the UCC2819AD is the externally accessible non-inverting input of the voltage error amplifier. It enables programmable output voltage-commonly tied to VFF for line-voltage tracking-allowing dynamic adjustment of the boost output (e.g., 320 V at low line, 380 V at high line) to reduce component stress and improve efficiency.
What is the maximum gate drive current capability of the UCC2819AD?
The UCC2819AD DRVOUT pin delivers ±1.2 A peak source/sink current, with 9 Ω typical pull-up and 4 Ω typical pull-down resistance. This enables direct driving of medium-power MOSFET gates without external buffers, provided appropriate series gate resistance (e.g., 11 Ω) is used to damp ringing.
Does the UCC2819AD include over-voltage protection?
Yes, the UCC2819AD includes integrated over-voltage protection via the OVP/EN pin-a window comparator that disables the gate driver if the boost output exceeds a user-programmed threshold. It also enables full system disable when pulled below 1.9 V, supporting safe shutdown and sequencing.
What package options are available for the UCC2819AD?
The UCC2819AD is offered exclusively in the 16-pin SOIC (D) package per TI's official packaging addendum. Alternate variants like UCC2819APW use TSSOP, but the "AD" suffix denotes SOIC packaging-confirmed by orderable part numbers UCC2819AD, UCC2819AD.A, UCC2819ADR, and UCC2819ADR.A.
