Product details
Overview
UCC2819APW from Texas Instruments is a BiCMOS active power factor correction (PFC) controller for boost preregulators, operating from 10.8 V to 17 V with 150 µA typical start-up current and −40°C to +85°C temperature range. It implements average current mode control with leading-edge modulation, programmable output voltage via VAI pin, and integrated over-voltage protection - enabling tracking-boost PFC in industrial AC/DC front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the UCC2819APW datasheet, UCC2819APW pinout, UCC2819APW application, or UCC2819APW equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, and two confirmed alternative PFC controllers with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The UCC2819APW uses an analog multiplier with feed-forward (VFF) and voltage error amplifier (VAOUT) to shape line current for near-unity power factor. Its current amplifier (CAI/MOUT) supports average current mode control with zero-power comparator threshold at 0.33 V and peak current limit sensing via PKLMT pin referenced to GND.
It integrates a 100 kHz oscillator (±15% initial accuracy), ±1.2 A peak gate driver (DRVOUT), 7.5 V reference (VREF), and UVLO with 10.2 V turn-on/9.7 V turn-off thresholds. The VAI pin enables dynamic output voltage programming - critical for RMS-tracking boost topologies that reduce inductor size and MOSFET conduction losses at low line voltages.

Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 (PW) package: 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, moisture sensitivity level 2 (260°C reflow, 1-year floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and power signals; requires low-inductance 0.1 µF ceramic bypass to VCC/VREF. |
| PKLMT (Pin 2) | Peak current limit input | Sense resistor voltage level-shifted to 0 V threshold; triggers current limit when signal falls below 0 V. |
| CAOUT (Pin 3) | Current amplifier output | Drives PWM latch; compensation network placed between CAOUT and MOUT for stability in average current mode. |
| CAI (Pin 4) | Current amplifier non-inverting input | Connected to GND-side of current-sense resistor; operates down to and below GND for bidirectional sensing. |
| MOUT (Pin 5) | Multiplier output / CA inverting input | High-impedance node combining multiplier current and CA feedback; enables differential configuration for noise immunity. |
| IAC (Pin 6) | Line voltage proportional current input | Accepts up to 500 µA current proportional to instantaneous line voltage; defines multiplier gain and distortion performance. |
| VAOUT (Pin 7) | Voltage error amplifier output | Regulates boost output voltage; internally clamped to ~5.5 V to prevent overshoot during transients. |
| VFF (Pin 8) | Feed-forward RMS voltage | Generated by mirroring IAC through external RC filter; scales VAOUT reference for line-voltage tracking. |
| VREF (Pin 9) | 7.5 V reference output | Supplies 20 mA; disabled below UVLO; used for biasing dividers, PKLMT level-shifting, and VAI reference. |
| OVP/EN (Pin 10) | Over-voltage / enable input | Window comparator: disables DRVOUT above programmed OVP threshold or resets SS if pulled below 1.9 V. |
| VSENSE (Pin 11) | Voltage amplifier inverting input | Connected to output voltage divider; forms feedback loop with VAOUT and VAI to regulate boost output. |
| RT (Pin 12) | Oscillator timing current | Resistor to GND programs charging current; nominal 3 V on pin; 10–100 kΩ range recommended. |
| VAI (Pin 13) | Voltage amplifier non-inverting input | Externally accessible reference point - tied to VFF for tracking boost or to fixed voltage for constant output. |
| CT (Pin 14) | Oscillator timing capacitor | Capacitor to GND sets frequency per f ≈ 0.6/(RT×CT); short, direct trace required for stability. |
| VCC (Pin 15) | Positive supply input | Requires ≥20 mA supply; bypassed directly to GND; inhibits DRVOUT until UVLO threshold is exceeded. |
| DRVOUT (Pin 16) | Gate drive output | Totem-pole MOSFET driver; series gate resistor recommended to damp ringing with capacitive loads. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the UCC2819APW?
The UCC2819APW is rated for −40°C to +85°C ambient operation, qualifying it for industrial-grade power supplies where thermal robustness is critical. This range is confirmed in the "Available Options Table" and electrical characteristics section of SLUS579, specifying test conditions for UCC2819A variants. The TSSOP-16 (PW) package supports this full range with θja of 123–147°C/W on standard FR4 PCBs.
How does the VAI pin function in the UCC2819APW?
The VAI pin on the UCC2819APW is the non-inverting input of the internal voltage error amplifier, externally accessible to enable programmable output voltage. When tied to VFF, it implements RMS-tracking boost - scaling the regulated output proportionally with line voltage. This reduces inductor size and MOSFET conduction losses at low line, as detailed in Figure 1 and Application Information section of SLUS579.
What is the purpose of the PKLMT pin on the UCC2819APW?
The PKLMT pin on the UCC2819APW serves as the peak current limit threshold input, referenced to 0 V. A resistor divider from the negative side of the current-sense resistor to VREF level-shifts the sensed voltage so that PKLMT falls below 0 V at the desired peak current. This triggers immediate current limiting, ensuring precise control of boost switch conduction time per cycle.
Does the UCC2819APW support over-voltage protection?
Yes, the UCC2819APW provides dedicated over-voltage protection via the OVP/EN pin - a window comparator that disables DRVOUT when the boost output exceeds a user-programmed threshold (VREF + 0.48 V to VREF + 0.52 V). It also offers enable functionality, resetting soft-start if pulled below 1.9 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Over Voltage Protection and Enable".
What package type is used for the UCC2819APW?
The UCC2819APW uses the TSSOP-16 (PW) package: 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm maximum height, and moisture sensitivity level 2 (260°C reflow, 1-year floor life). This is explicitly stated in the "AVAILABLE OPTIONS TABLE", "PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM", and "PACKAGE OUTLINE" sections of SLUS579 and TI's packaging documentation.
