Product details
Overview
UCC28510N from Texas Instruments is a dual-stage combination controller integrating average-current-mode PFC and peak-current-mode PWM control in a single 20-pin PDIP package. It delivers 2-A source / 3-A sink gate drive for both stages, supports 1:1 PFC:PWM frequency ratio, features 16-ns rise/7-ns fall times into 1-nF loads, and enables IEC 61000-3-2 compliant AC-DC power supplies up to 300 W.
For engineers reviewing the UCC28510N datasheet, UCC28510N pinout, UCC28510N application, or UCC28510N equivalent, key selection considerations include its leading-edge PFC + trailing-edge PWM modulation scheme for boost capacitor ripple reduction, programmable maximum duty cycle clamp (70–80%), and dual UVLO thresholds (16 V turn-on / 9.7 V turn-off) enabling robust startup sequencing in offline SMPS designs.
Technical Context
The UCC28510N implements a three-input analog multiplier with input voltage feedforward (VFF) and transconductance voltage amplifier (VAOUT) to generate precise line-current reference in continuous conduction mode (CCM). Its PFC stage uses average-current-mode control with zero-power detect (0.33 V VAOUT threshold) and accurate power limiting via PKLMT pin.
The PWM stage operates synchronously at the same frequency as PFC (1:1 ratio), employs peak-current-mode control with slope compensation via CT_BUFF ramp, and includes programmable soft-start (SS2), 1.3–1.65 V current-sense offset, and independent UVLO2 (6.3 V turn-on / 5.3 V turn-off) with 1.45 V hysteresis for hold-up time management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PFC:PWM Frequency Ratio | 1:1 - Ensures synchronized switching with fixed phase relationship for minimized boost capacitor ripple current. |
| Gate Drive Strength | 2-A source / 3-A sink per output - Directly drives MOSFET gates without external buffers in ≤300-W designs. |
| UVLO Thresholds | VCC turn-on = 16 V, turn-off = 9.7 V - Provides 6.3-V hysteresis for reliable brown-out immunity during AC line dips. |
| Max Duty Cycle Clamp | 70–80% at GT2 - Programmable via D_MAX pin voltage to prevent transformer saturation in flyback/forward topologies. |
| Reference Voltage | 7.5 V ±15 mV over temperature - Powers internal circuitry and external resistor dividers with <5 mV load regulation. |
| Rise/Fall Time | 16 ns / 7 ns into 1-nF load - Enables fast switching transitions while maintaining noise margin in high-frequency PFC stages. |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +105°C - Qualified for industrial and commercial offline power supply environments. |
Pinout & Package
UCC28510N is housed in a 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Thermal performance supports 1 W power dissipation at TJ ≤ 150°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GT1 (12) | PFC gate driver output | 2-A source / 3-A sink totem pole drives boost MOSFET; disabled outside UVLO window. |
| GT2 (10) | PWM gate driver output | Identical drive strength to GT1; PWM stage suppressed until PFC output reaches 90% of target. |
| VSENSE (3) | PFC voltage error amplifier inverting input | Feedback node for PFC output regulation; also connects to OVP, ENABLE, and UVLO2 comparators. |
| VAOUT (1) | PFC transconductance amplifier output | Regulates PFC output voltage; sinks/source up to 3.3 mA during slew enhancement; drops below 0.33 V to disable PFC. |
| IAC (18) | Multiplier current input | Accepts rectified line voltage-derived current (≤500 µA); enables input voltage feedforward for near-unity PF. |
| VFF (19) | Voltage feedforward output | Sources IAC/2 current; external RC filter sets feedforward gain to maintain constant power across line range. |
| RT (2) | Oscillator programming input | Resistor-to-GND sets CT_BUFF frequency (65–600 kHz); determines both PFC and PWM switching frequencies. |
| SS2 (13) | PWM soft-start timing input | Capacitor-to-GND programs controlled PWM ramp-up; internal 10.5-µA current charges SS2 to 3 V for tSS = 3×CSS2/10.5 µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Leading-edge PFC + trailing-edge PWM modulation | Reduces boost capacitor ripple current by >30% vs. TEM/TEM schemes, lowering ESR/size requirements. |
| Average-current-mode PFC control | Enables stable CCM operation across universal AC input (85–265 VAC) with low THD and near-unity power factor. |
| Programmable PWM maximum duty cycle | 70–80% clamp prevents transformer core saturation in flyback and two-transistor forward converters. |
| Zero-power detect circuit | Disables PFC gate drive when VAOUT falls below 0.33 V, eliminating no-load consumption in standby mode. |
| Independent PWM UVLO2 with selectable hysteresis | Allows PWM to remain active during PFC output decay down to 5.3 V (UCC28510), extending hold-up time. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar combination PFC/PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28511N | Lower UVLO turn-on (10.2 V) and reduced hysteresis (0.5 V) - suited for low-voltage DC-bus start-up. | Used where main DC bus may dip below 12 V during cold-start; less robust against AC brownouts than UCC28510N. | Select UCC28511N only if primary supply has regulated 12 V bias rail; otherwise UCC28510N provides superior line-dip immunity. |
| UCC28070N | Dedicated CCM PFC controller (no integrated PWM); higher integration density and improved THD performance. | Requires separate PWM IC (e.g., UCC28C4x) - increases BOM count but improves design flexibility and thermal partitioning. | Choose UCC28070N + discrete PWM when optimizing for <5% THD or >95% efficiency; UCC28510N remains optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 300-W designs. |
Compared with UCC28511N, UCC28510N offers superior AC line dropout resilience due to its 16 V/9.7 V UVLO window, while UCC28070N trades integration for higher PFC precision and scalability-making UCC28510N the balanced choice for compact, IEC-compliant offline SMPS where board area and component count are critical.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the UCC28510N in a power supply design?
The UCC28510N integrates both power factor correction (PFC) and pulse-width modulation (PWM) control functions into a single IC. It manages a boost PFC pre-regulator using average-current-mode control and an isolated PWM stage using peak-current-mode control, enabling compact, IEC 61000-3-2-compliant AC-DC power supplies. The UCC28510N coordinates timing between stages to minimize boost capacitor ripple and ensures reliable startup sequencing.
How does the UCC28510N implement zero-power detection?
The UCC28510N monitors the VAOUT pin voltage to detect zero-power conditions. When VAOUT falls below 0.33 V (with 40–140 mV hysteresis), the internal zero-power comparator disables the GT1 gate driver, turning off the PFC stage. This feature reduces no-load input power consumption significantly. The UCC28510N uses this mechanism to enter low-power standby mode automatically without external circuitry.
Can the UCC28510N be used with a 2:1 PFC:PWM frequency ratio?
No, the UCC28510N is specifically configured for a 1:1 PFC:PWM frequency ratio, as confirmed in the "Available Options" table and electrical characteristics section. Devices with 2:1 ratio (e.g., UCC28514N) use different internal oscillator routing. Attempting to force 2:1 operation on the UCC28510N will result in incorrect PWM timing and potential instability. Select UCC28514N or UCC28515N for 2× PWM frequency applications.
What is the purpose of the CT_BUFF pin on the UCC28510N?
The CT_BUFF pin on the UCC28510N provides a buffered version of the internal PWM oscillator ramp signal (4-V amplitude, 200-kHz typical). It is designed to drive an external resistor connected to ISENSE2 for slope compensation in peak-current-mode PWM control. This eliminates the need for an external ramp generator and simplifies noise-immune current-loop design. The UCC28510N's CT_BUFF output can sink/source up to 500 µA reliably.
How is the maximum duty cycle programmed on the UCC28510N?
The maximum duty cycle at GT2 is programmed via the D_MAX pin (Pin 4) using a precision resistor divider referenced to VREF (7.5 V). A linear relationship exists between applied voltage (0.09–0.90 × VREF) and duty ratio (70–80%). For example, 4.15 V at D_MAX yields ~75% clamp. The UCC28510N datasheet provides the formula DMAX ≈ VDX/4 V for estimation. Voltages below 0.7 V disable GT2 output entirely.
