Product details
Overview
UCC28513N from Texas Instruments is a dual-stage combination controller integrating average-current-mode PFC and peak-current-mode PWM 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 programmable maximum duty cycle (70–80%), soft-start, and zero-power detect. It targets IEC 1000-3-2-compliant AC/DC power supplies such as server PSUs and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the UCC28513N datasheet, UCC28513N pinout, UCC28513N application, or UCC28513N equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10.2-V UVLO turn-on threshold, 3.55-V PWM UVLO2 turn-off threshold, 200-kHz nominal switching frequency, and compatibility with boost PFC + flyback/buck-derived PWM topologies.
Technical Context
The UCC28513N 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 an input voltage feedforward-enabled three-input analog multiplier with transconductance voltage amplifier (gM = 70–130 µS) and fast slew-rate enhancement for improved load transient response.
The PWM stage employs peak-current-mode control with slope compensation via CT_BUFF, programmable D_MAX clamp (0.09–0.90 V → 0–100% duty), and dual UVLO hysteresis options. Startup sequencing ensures PWM activation only after PFC output reaches 90% of regulation, while shutdown suppresses PWM when PFC output drops to 47% of nominal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PFC:PWM Frequency Ratio | 1:1 - Enables synchronized operation at identical switching frequency (e.g., 200 kHz), simplifying EMI filter design and reducing boost capacitor RMS current. |
| VCC UVLO Turn-On Threshold | 10.2 V - Ensures reliable startup under brown-out conditions while avoiding premature activation during low-line transients. |
| PWM UVLO2 Turn-Off Threshold | 3.55 V - Delays PWM shutdown until PFC bus has decayed significantly (to 47% of nominal), extending hold-up time without auxiliary bias. |
| Maximum Duty Cycle Clamp | 70–80% - Programmable via D_MAX pin voltage; prevents transformer saturation in two-transistor forward or flyback topologies. |
| Gate Drive Strength | 2-A source / 3-A sink per output (GT1/GT2) - Directly drives medium-power MOSFETs without external buffers, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Zero Power Detect Threshold | 0.20–0.50 V on VAOUT - Turns off PFC gate drive when output power falls below detection threshold, eliminating no-load consumption. |
| Oscillator Frequency Accuracy | ±15% over line/temp - Set by RT resistor (156 kΩ typical); enables stable 160–240 kHz operation with minimal external components. |
Pinout & Package
UCC28513N is housed in a 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N), with 0.3-inch body width and standard 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 driver for boost switch; disabled outside UVLO window and before VREF stabilization. |
| GT2 (10) | PWM Gate Driver Output | Identical drive strength to GT1; enabled only after PFC output reaches 90% of regulation and UVLO2 is active. |
| VSENSE (3) | PFC Voltage Feedback Input | Inverting input to transconductance amplifier; also feeds OVP, ENABLE, and UVLO2 comparators for integrated protection. |
| ISENSE1 (16) | PFC Current Sense Input (+) | Non-inverting input to current amplifier; used with shunt resistor to close average-current-mode control loop. |
| ISENSE2 (8) | PWM Current Sense Input | Peak-current-mode comparator input with 1.5-V internal level shift; accepts voltage from external sense resistor (threshold = 1.30 V). |
| VAOUT (1) | PFC Transconductance Amplifier Output | Regulates PFC output voltage; sources/sinks up to 30 µA linearly, up to 3.3 mA during slew enhancement; zero-power detect triggers below 0.33 V. |
| CAOUT (15) | PFC Current Amplifier Output | Drives PFC PWM comparator; connects externally to MOUT for current-loop compensation; swing range supports full duty-cycle control. |
| D_MAX (4) | PWM Max Duty Control Input | Analog voltage (0.09–0.90 V) sets clamped duty cycle (0–100%); typically driven by precision divider from VREF (7.5 V). |
| SS2 (13) | PWM Soft-Start Input | Capacitor-based ramp; internal 10.5 µA current charges SS2 to 3 V, controlling VERR ramp and GT2 duty rise time during startup. |
| VFF (19) | PFC Voltage Feedforward Input | Sources IAC/2 current; external RC filter generates feedforward signal to multiplier, enabling near-unity PF across universal AC input range. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PFC + PWM Control | Single-chip solution eliminates inter-stage timing mismatches, reduces component count, and guarantees synchronized LEM/TEM operation for minimized boost capacitor ripple. |
| Average-Current-Mode PFC | Enables continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation with high linearity (multiplier gain constant k = 0.8–1.2 V⁻¹), supporting >0.99 PF across 85–265 VAC input. |
| Programmable PWM Duty Clamp | Hardware-based D_MAX input allows precise duty limitation (70–80% typical) to prevent magnetic core saturation in forward/flyback converters without software intervention. |
| Sequenced Startup & Shutdown | PWM remains disabled until PFC output reaches 90% of target; PWM continues operating until PFC bus decays to 47%, maximizing hold-up time without auxiliary circuitry. |
| Zero-Power Detection | Internal comparator monitors VAOUT; disables GT1 when VAOUT falls below 0.33 V, eliminating standby power draw in no-load 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28511N | Lower VCC UVLO turn-on (10.2 V same), but UVLO hysteresis = 0.5 V (vs. 3.2 V for UCC28513N); identical 1:1 frequency ratio and pinout. | Optimized for low-voltage brown-out resilience; less suitable for systems requiring deep hold-up due to reduced UVLO2 hysteresis (1.45 V vs. 3.2 V). | Select UCC28511N only if system operates exclusively in stable utility grids with minimal line sag; UCC28513N preferred for industrial/medical where hold-up margin is critical. |
| UCC28512N | Same 1:1 frequency ratio and PDIP package, but higher UVLO2 turn-off (5.30 V) and lower hysteresis (1.45 V); different PFC bus dropout threshold (71% vs. 47%). | Better suited for systems with auxiliary bias rails that remain active longer; less effective for extended hold-up relying solely on PFC bus energy. | Choose UCC28512N when auxiliary VCC is available during brown-out; UCC28513N is superior when hold-up must be sustained purely from PFC bulk capacitor discharge. |
Compared with UCC28511N and UCC28512N, the UCC28513N uniquely balances low UVLO turn-on (10.2 V) with high UVLO2 hysteresis (3.2 V) and deep PFC bus dropout (47%), making it the optimal choice for applications demanding both robust startup and maximum hold-up time without auxiliary support.

FAQ
What is the UVLO hysteresis specification for UCC28513N?
The UCC28513N features a 3.2-V UVLO hysteresis (turn-on at 10.2 V, turn-off at 6.98 V) and a separate 3.2-V hysteresis for PWM UVLO2 (turn-on at 6.75 V, turn-off at 3.55 V). This wide hysteresis prevents oscillatory behavior during marginal line conditions and ensures clean startup/shutdown sequencing. The UCC28513N datasheet confirms these values in the Electrical Characteristics table under "UVLO hysteresis" and "PWM UVLO2 hysteresis" sections.
How does UCC28513N implement zero-power detection?
The UCC28513N monitors the VAOUT pin voltage: when VAOUT falls below 0.20–0.50 V (typ. 0.33 V), the internal zero-power comparator disables GT1 gate drive. This occurs because VAOUT reflects PFC output voltage error; collapse below threshold indicates negligible load. The UCC28513N datasheet specifies this behavior in the "Zero Power" section and confirms VAOUT's role as both regulation output and zero-power detect input.
Can UCC28513N support PFC and PWM stages operating at different frequencies?
No - the UCC28513N is configured for 1:1 PFC:PWM frequency ratio only. Devices with 1:2 ratio (e.g., UCC28514N) use different part numbers. The UCC28513N datasheet explicitly states in the "Available Options" table and "Description" section that UCC28513N operates with identical PFC and PWM switching frequencies, set by the RT resistor and measured at CT_BUFF.
What is the maximum gate drive current capability of UCC28513N?
The UCC28513N provides 2-A peak source and 3-A peak sink current on both GT1 (PFC) and GT2 (PWM) outputs. Absolute maximum ratings confirm pulsed sourcing up to −2.5 A and sinking up to 3.5 A. These values are validated in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" and "PFC/PWM Gate Driver" sections of the UCC28513N datasheet, enabling direct drive of MOSFETs up to 500 V/20 A in typical applications.
How is soft-start implemented for the PWM stage in UCC28513N?
The UCC28513N implements PWM soft-start via the SS2 pin: an internal 10.5-µA current source charges an external capacitor from GND to 3 V, ramping VERR and thus GT2 duty cycle. Startup time is tSS = 3 V / 10.5 µA × CSS2. The UCC28513N datasheet details this in the "PWM Stage Soft-Start" electrical characteristics table and "Detailed Pin Descriptions" for SS2, confirming the 10.5 µA charge current and 3-V endpoint.
