Product details
Overview
UCC28511DW from Texas Instruments is a dual-stage combination controller integrating average-current-mode PFC and peak-current-mode PWM control in a single SOIC-20 IC. It delivers 2-A source / 3-A sink gate drive for both stages, supports 1:1 PFC:PWM frequency ratio, features 10.2-V UVLO turn-on threshold with 0.5-V hysteresis, and enables IEC 1000−3−2-compliant AC/DC power supplies up to 300 W.
For engineers reviewing the UCC28511DW datasheet, UCC28511DW pinout, UCC28511DW application, or UCC28511DW equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for industrial off-line SMPS design.
Technical Context
The UCC28511DW implements leading-edge modulation for the PFC stage and trailing-edge modulation for the PWM stage to minimize boost capacitor ripple current. Its PFC section uses a three-input linearized multiplier with input voltage feedforward and a transconductance voltage amplifier (gM = 70–130 µS) for fast load transient response.
The PWM stage employs peak-current-mode control with programmable maximum duty cycle (70–80%), soft-start via SS2 pin, and dual UVLO thresholds (6.3 V turn-on, 5.3 V turn-off). Oscillator frequency is set by RT resistor and shared across both stages at 160–240 kHz total variation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PFC:PWM Frequency Ratio | 1:1 - ensures synchronized switching with identical oscillator base frequency for both stages |
| VCC UVLO Turn-On Threshold | 10.2 V - enables operation only after sufficient startup bias is established; prevents erratic behavior during brownout |
| UVLO Hysteresis | 0.5 V - provides noise immunity against supply fluctuations near threshold, avoiding oscillatory enable/disable |
| PWM Max Duty Cycle Clamp | 75% typical - limits conduction time to prevent transformer saturation in flyback or forward topologies |
| Gate Drive Strength | 2-A source / 3-A sink per output - directly drives medium-power MOSFETs without external buffers in ≤300-W designs |
| Operating Temperature Range | −40°C to +105°C - qualified for industrial-grade power supply environments including enclosed enclosures |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | 7.50 V ±11 mV over temperature - enables precise feedback loop calibration for stable 380-V PFC output regulation |
Pinout & Package
UCC28511DW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC Wide (DW) package with 0.65-mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). The package supports surface-mount reflow assembly and provides adequate thermal dissipation (0.7 W max power dissipation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GT1 (12) | PFC Gate Driver Output | 2-A source / 3-A sink totem-pole driver for boost switch; disabled below UVLO |
| GT2 (10) | PWM Gate Driver Output | Identical drive strength to GT1; suppressed until PFC output reaches 90% of target |
| VSENSE (3) | PFC Voltage Feedback Input | Inverting input to transconductance amplifier; also feeds OVP, ENABLE, and PWM UVLO2 comparators |
| VAOUT (1) | PFC Transconductance Amplifier Output | Regulates PFC output voltage; sources/sinks up to 3.3 mA during slew enhancement; zero-power detect trigger at 0.33 V |
| IAC (18) | PFC Line Voltage Sensing Input | Current input proportional to rectified line voltage; max 500 µA; enables input voltage feedforward |
| VFF (19) | PFC Feedforward Voltage Input | Sources IAC/2 current; external RC filter sets feedforward gain; improves line regulation and THD |
| RT (2) | Oscillator Programming Input | Resistor-to-ground sets CT_BUFF frequency (160–240 kHz); determines both PFC and PWM switching rates |
| SS2 (13) | PWM Soft-Start Control | Capacitor-to-ground sets PWM ramp-up time; internal 10.5-µA current charges to 3 V for controlled startup |
| PKLMT (14) | PFC Peak Current Limit Input | Voltage threshold (0 V reference) sets overcurrent trip point; used with resistor divider from sense resistor |
| GND (6) & PWRGND (11) | Analog & Power Ground | Separate ground returns: GND for signal references, PWRGND for GT1/GT2 return paths; must be Kelvin-connected |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Average-current-mode PFC control | Enables continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation with near-unity power factor and low THD across universal AC input |
| Leading-edge PFC + trailing-edge PWM modulation | Reduces RMS ripple current in boost output capacitor by up to 30% vs. TEM/TEM schemes, lowering capacitor stress and size |
| Programmable PWM maximum duty cycle | Configurable clamp (70–80%) via D_MAX pin voltage; critical for preventing core saturation in two-switch forward converters |
| Zero power detect circuitry | Shuts down PFC stage when VAOUT falls below 0.33 V, eliminating standby losses in no-load or sleep modes |
| Integrated 7.5-V precision reference | Stable, ±11-mV accurate reference (10 mA capable) powers internal circuits and external error amplifiers; bypassed to GND |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PFC+PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28510DW | Higher UVLO turn-on (16 V) and wider hysteresis (6.3 V); same 1:1 frequency ratio and pinout | Better suited for high-line-only designs (230 VAC+) where early startup is not required | Select UCC28510DW if system uses bulk capacitor pre-charge or has high-voltage auxiliary supply; otherwise UCC28511DW preferred for universal input |
| ICE2PCS01 | Single-stage transition-mode PFC controller only; no integrated PWM stage; requires external PWM IC | Lower component count for PFC-only applications but increases board area and timing complexity for full PFC+PWM systems | Choose ICE2PCS01 only when PFC and PWM stages require independent optimization or different control strategies |
Compared with UCC28510DW and ICE2PCS01, the UCC28511DW uniquely combines matched 1:1 PFC/PWM timing, low-threshold UVLO for universal input, and integrated gate drivers-reducing component count by ≥7 parts versus dual-IC solutions while maintaining IEC 61000-3-2 compliance.

FAQ
What is the UVLO hysteresis specification for UCC28511DW?
The UCC28511DW features a 0.5-V UVLO hysteresis (typical), with turn-on at 10.2 V and turn-off at 9.7 V. This narrow hysteresis improves responsiveness during marginal line conditions while maintaining stability against supply noise. The value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 4 of SLUS517C, and applies specifically to the UCC28511DW variant-not the broader UCC2851x family.
Does UCC28511DW support independent PFC and PWM frequency scaling?
No, the UCC28511DW fixes the PFC and PWM stages to operate at the same frequency (1:1 ratio), set by the RT resistor. Unlike UCC28514–UCC28517 variants, it does not support 1:2 scaling. This is explicitly stated in the "AVAILABLE OPTIONS" table (page 3) and confirmed in the oscillator description on page 10 of SLUS517C.
How is zero-power detection implemented in UCC28511DW?
The UCC28511DW implements zero-power detection by monitoring VAOUT voltage: when VAOUT falls below 0.33 V (typical), the internal comparator disables GT1. This function is documented in the "ZERO POWER" electrical characteristics table (page 6) and detailed in the VAOUT pin description (page 10), where it states "When this output falls below 0.33 V, the zero power detect comparator ensures the PFC stage gate drive is turned off."
What is the maximum recommended gate capacitance for GT1 and GT2 on UCC28511DW?
The UCC28511DW datasheet specifies rise/fall times into a 1-nF load (16 ns rise, 7 ns fall), but does not define an absolute maximum gate capacitance. However, the 2-A source / 3-A sink capability implies safe operation with MOSFETs having Qg ≤ 35 nC at 12-V VGS, consistent with typical 200–500-V superjunction FETs used in 300-W PFC stages. This is derived from the gate driver output impedance specs (5–12 Ω pull-up, 2–10 Ω pull-down) and observed design practices in Figure 1.
Can UCC28511DW be used in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) PFC designs?
No-the UCC28511DW is explicitly designed for average-current-mode control in continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC operation, as stated in the "PFC Features" list (page 1) and "APPLICATION INFORMATION" section (page 12). Its current amplifier architecture, multiplier linearity, and compensation structure assume CCM; DCM operation would cause instability and poor power factor correction.
