Product details
Overview
UCC28513DWR from Texas Instruments is a dual-stage PFC/PWM controller IC for off-line AC-DC power supplies compliant with IEC 61000-3-2 harmonic standards. It integrates average-current-mode PFC and peak-current-mode PWM control, supports 1:1 PFC:PWM frequency ratio, features 2-A source/3-A sink gate drivers (GT1/GT2), 200-kHz typical switching frequency, and operates from –40°C to +105°C. Used in industrial and telecom AC-DC front-ends requiring high power factor and regulated DC output.
For engineers reviewing the UCC28513DWR datasheet, UCC28513DWR pinout, UCC28513DWR application, or UCC28513DWR equivalent, key selection criteria include UVLO turn-on at 10.2 V, PWM UVLO2 turn-off at 3.55 V, programmable maximum duty cycle via D_MAX pin, and compatibility with boost PFC + flyback/buck-derived PWM topologies.
Technical Context
The UCC28513DWR implements leading-edge modulation for the PFC stage and trailing-edge modulation for the PWM stage to minimize ripple current in the boost output capacitor. Its PFC section uses average-current-mode control with input voltage feedforward (VFF), a highly linear three-input multiplier, and a transconductance voltage amplifier (VAOUT) with slew-rate enhancement.
The PWM stage employs peak-current-mode control with slope compensation via CT_BUFF, programmable soft-start (SS2), accurate maximum duty cycle clamping (D_MAX), and independent UVLO2 (3.55 V turn-off). Startup sequencing ensures PWM activation only after PFC output reaches 90% of regulation, and PWM remains active until PFC output drops to 47% of nominal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PFC:PWM Frequency Ratio | 1:1 - PFC and PWM stages switch at identical frequency (e.g., 200 kHz), simplifying EMI filter design and enabling synchronized ripple cancellation. |
| VCC UVLO Turn-On / Turn-Off | 10.2 V / 9.7 V - Ensures reliable startup under brownout conditions while preventing oscillation near threshold. |
| PWM UVLO2 Turn-Off Threshold | 3.55 V - Delays PWM shutdown until PFC bus has significantly collapsed (47% of nominal), improving hold-up time robustness. |
| Gate Drive Capability (GT1/GT2) | 2-A source / 3-A sink - Directly drives medium-power MOSFETs without external buffers in 300–500 W designs. |
| Reference Voltage (VREF) | 7.5 V ±15 mV - Precision internal reference powers external circuitry (e.g., optocoupler bias, divider networks) with <5 mV load regulation up to 6 mA. |
| Maximum Duty Cycle Clamp | 75% typical at D_MAX = 4.15 V - Prevents transformer saturation in flyback or forward converters by limiting on-time during overload or startup. |
| Zero Power Detect Threshold | 0.33 V (falling edge) - Disables GT1 when VAOUT falls below threshold, eliminating standby losses in no-load or AC dropout conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PFC/PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28512DWR | Higher UVLO turn-on (16 V) and PWM UVLO2 turn-off (3.55 V); same 1:1 frequency ratio and pinout. | Better suited for high-line-only or wide-input-range designs where early startup is not required and higher hold-up margin is critical. | Select UCC28512DWR if system requires 16-V UVLO for improved noise immunity on VCC rail, or if 3.55-V UVLO2 hold-down matches existing PFC bus design. |
| UCC28070DWR | Dedicated average-current-mode PFC controller only (no integrated PWM); 8-pin SOIC; requires external PWM IC. | Used in modular designs where PFC and PWM stages are separated for serviceability or thermal management. | Choose UCC28070DWR when design flexibility, lower gate drive current (1-A), or independent optimization of PFC/PWM timing is prioritized over integration. |
Compared with UCC28512DWR, the UCC28513DWR offers earlier startup (10.2 V vs. 16 V) for brownout resilience but retains identical 3.55-V PWM hold-down and 1:1 frequency ratio; versus UCC28070DWR, it trades modularity for reduced component count and guaranteed synchronization between PFC and PWM stages.

FAQ
What is the UVLO turn-on and turn-off threshold for UCC28513DWR?
The UCC28513DWR has a VCC undervoltage lockout (UVLO) turn-on threshold of 10.2 V and a turn-off threshold of 9.7 V. This 0.5-V hysteresis prevents oscillation during marginal input conditions. The PWM-specific UVLO2 turns off at 3.55 V, allowing continued operation until the PFC bus drops to 47% of nominal-critical for maintaining hold-up time in AC dropout scenarios. These thresholds are factory-trimmed and specified over temperature.
How does UCC28513DWR implement zero power detection?
The UCC28513DWR monitors the VAOUT pin voltage to detect zero power conditions. When VAOUT falls below 0.33 V (falling edge), the internal zero power comparator disables GT1, halting PFC switching and reducing quiescent supply current to <150 µA. This feature is enabled automatically and requires no external components-it leverages the same VAOUT node used for PFC voltage regulation, ensuring tight coupling between output collapse and shutdown.
Can UCC28513DWR drive MOSFETs directly without external gate drivers?
Yes, UCC28513DWR can drive MOSFETs directly: its GT1 and GT2 outputs each deliver 2-A peak source and 3-A peak sink current with 16-ns rise and 7-ns fall times into 1-nF loads. This supports direct drive of MOSFETs with gate charges up to ~20 nC at 200 kHz. For higher gate charge devices or layouts with long traces, a small series resistor (~2 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing, as noted in the datasheet's GT1/GT2 descriptions.
What is the function of the CT_BUFF pin on UCC28513DWR?
The CT_BUFF pin on UCC28513DWR provides a buffered 4-V peak-to-peak version of the internal PWM oscillator ramp signal. It is designed to connect directly to ISENSE2 via a single resistor for slope compensation in peak-current-mode control-eliminating need for external op-amps or timing components. The internal buffer drives typical 500-µA resistive loads, ensuring stable ramp injection even with PCB parasitics, and is active only when the PWM stage is enabled.
How is the maximum duty cycle programmed on UCC28513DWR?
The maximum duty cycle of the PWM stage in UCC28513DWR is programmed via the D_MAX pin (Pin 4): applying a DC voltage between 0.09 V and 0.90 V sets the GT2 duty limit linearly. A typical implementation uses a precision resistor divider from VREF (7.5 V) to ground, yielding ~75% max duty at 4.15 V. Voltages below 0.7 V force 0% duty cycle. This analog control allows fine-tuning to prevent transformer saturation in flyback or forward topologies without firmware changes.
