Product details
Overview
UCC28513DW 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 high-efficiency AC/DC power supplies compliant with IEC 61000-3-2 harmonic standards.
For engineers reviewing the UCC28513DW datasheet, UCC28513DW pinout, UCC28513DW application, or UCC28513DW equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-modulation architecture (leading-edge PFC + trailing-edge PWM), programmable PWM maximum duty cycle via D_MAX pin, zero-power detect functionality, and precise 7.5-V internal reference for stable voltage loop control.
Technical Context
The UCC28513DW implements a tightly synchronized dual-loop architecture: its PFC section uses average-current-mode control with input voltage feedforward and a highly linear three-input multiplier to generate low-distortion line current references, while the PWM stage employs peak-current-mode control with slope compensation support via CT_BUFF and programmable soft-start via SS2 capacitor.
It enforces strict sequencing-PWM remains suppressed until PFC output reaches 90% of regulation, and continues operating during brownout until PFC output drops to 47%-ensuring robust startup and hold-up behavior. The device integrates two independent gate drivers (GT1/GT2), transconductance voltage amplifier (VAOUT), current amplifier (CAOUT), and dedicated comparators for OVP, enable, and zero-power detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PFC:PWM Frequency Ratio | 1:1 - Enables synchronous operation at identical switching frequencies, simplifying EMI filter design and reducing boost capacitor ripple current. |
| VCC UVLO Turn-On Threshold | 10.2 V - Ensures reliable startup after bulk capacitor charging; hysteresis of 0.5 V prevents oscillation near threshold. |
| PWM UVLO2 Turn-Off Threshold | 3.55 V - Maintains PWM operation deeper into line dropout than higher-threshold variants (e.g., UCC28510), extending hold-up time. |
| Gate Drive Strength | 2-A source / 3-A sink per output - Directly drives medium-power MOSFETs without external buffers, minimizing propagation delay and layout complexity. |
| Reference Voltage | 7.5 V ±15 mV - High-accuracy, temperature-stable reference powering internal amplifiers and enabling precise feedback scaling. |
| Zero-Power Detect Threshold | 0.33 V on VAOUT - Disables PFC gate drive when output power falls below usable level, eliminating no-load consumption. |
| Maximum Duty Cycle Clamp | 75% typical at D_MAX = 4.15 V - Prevents transformer saturation in flyback/forward topologies by limiting PWM conduction window. |
Pinout & Package
UCC28513DW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 0.65-mm pitch, optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal performance up to 105°C ambient. Pin functions are electrically isolated between analog signal (GND) and power return (PWRGND) paths to minimize noise coupling.

| GT1 (12) | PFC Gate Driver Output | 2-A source / 3-A sink totem-pole driver for boost switch; disabled outside UVLO and before VREF stabilization. |
| GT2 (10) | PWM Gate Driver Output | Identical drive capability to GT1; enabled only after PFC output reaches 90% of target and UVLO2 is active. |
| VSENSE (3) | PFC Voltage Feedback Input | Inverting input of transconductance amplifier; also feeds OVP, ENABLE, and UVLO2 comparators for integrated protection. |
| VAOUT (1) | PFC Voltage Amplifier Output | Transconductance output regulating PFC output voltage; slew-enhanced to sink/source 3.3 mA during transients. |
| IAC (18) | Line Voltage Sensing Input | Current input proportional to rectified AC line; max 500 µA ensures accurate feedforward across universal input range. |
| VFF (19) | Voltage Feedforward Output | Current mirror output (IAC/2) feeding external RC filter; sets multiplier gain scaling to maintain unity power factor. |
| CAOUT (15) | PFC Current Amplifier Output | Wide-bandwidth amplifier output driving PFC comparator; connected internally to MOUT for current loop compensation. |
| SS2 (13) | PWM Soft-Start Control | Capacitor-programmable ramp input; internal 10.5-µA current charges external cap to 3 V for controlled PWM enable timing. |
| D_MAX (4) | PWM Duty Cycle Limit | Analog input setting maximum GT2 duty cycle (70–80%); linear relationship allows precise clamp tuning for topology safety. |
| VREF (20) | Precision Reference Output | 7.5-V ±15 mV reference sourcing >10 mA; bypassed externally to stabilize all internal bias and error amplifiers. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the UCC28513DW in an AC/DC power supply?
The UCC28513DW serves as a dual-stage controller that simultaneously manages power factor correction (PFC) using average-current-mode control and pulse-width modulation (PWM) using peak-current-mode control. It integrates gate drivers, reference, error amplifiers, and protection comparators into one SOIC-20 IC to replace two discrete controllers-reducing board space, component count, and design complexity while ensuring IEC 61000-3-2 compliance. Its 1:1 PFC:PWM frequency ratio and leading-edge/trailing-edge modulation scheme directly lower boost capacitor ripple current.
How does the UCC28513DW handle startup sequencing between PFC and PWM stages?
The UCC28513DW enforces strict hardware-based sequencing: the PWM stage (GT2) remains fully disabled until the PFC output voltage reaches 90% of its regulated value, ensuring stable bus voltage before secondary-side regulation begins. During AC line dropout, the PWM stage continues operating until the PFC output falls to 47% of nominal-providing extended hold-up time compared to variants like UCC28510. This behavior is fixed in silicon and requires no external programming or firmware.
Can the UCC28513DW be used with a flyback PWM topology?
Yes, the UCC28513DW is explicitly validated for flyback PWM topologies. Its programmable D_MAX pin allows precise clamping of GT2 maximum duty cycle (70–80%), preventing transformer saturation at low-line conditions. The SS2 pin supports capacitor-programmed soft-start to limit inrush current, and the 3.55-V PWM UVLO2 turn-off threshold extends operational window during brownout-key advantages for isolated flyback designs requiring robustness and efficiency across universal input ranges.
What is the role of the VFF pin on the UCC28513DW?
The VFF (voltage feedforward) pin on the UCC28513DW sources a current equal to half the IAC input current (IAC/2), which flows through an external RC filter to generate a scaled voltage proportional to the square of the rectified line voltage. This signal linearizes the multiplier's output across the full AC input range, enabling near-unity power factor (>0.99) and consistent current shaping regardless of line voltage-critical for meeting harmonic standards across 85–265 VAC inputs.
Does the UCC28513DW include built-in protection features?
Yes, the UCC28513DW integrates multiple hardware-based protections: PFC overvoltage protection (OVP) triggered at VREF + 0.49 V with 500-mV hysteresis; zero-power detect disabling GT1 when VAOUT falls below 0.33 V; peak current limiting on both PFC (PKLMT pin) and PWM (ISENSE2 pin) stages; and dual UVLO circuits-one for VCC (10.2 V turn-on) and one for PWM enable (3.55 V turn-off). All operate independently of external microcontrollers or software.
