Product details
Overview
UCC28517DW 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 1:2 PFC:PWM frequency ratio (PWM at 2× PFC), and enables leading-edge PFC + trailing-edge PWM modulation to minimize boost capacitor ripple. Used in IEC61000-3-2-compliant AC/DC power supplies such as server PSUs and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the UCC28517DW datasheet, UCC28517DW pinout, UCC28517DW application, or UCC28517DW equivalent, key selection criteria include confirmed 1:2 frequency ratio, UVLO2 turn-off at 3.55 V with 3.2-V hysteresis, programmable D_MAX clamp, zero-power detect, and dual high-current gate drivers-critical for robust PFC+flyback system design.
Technical Context
The UCC28517DW implements a three-input analog multiplier with input voltage feedforward (VFF) and transconductance voltage amplifier (VAOUT) for precise average-current-mode PFC control in continuous conduction mode. Its PFC stage uses CAOUT-driven current loop with zero-power detection below 0.33 V on VAOUT and accurate power limiting via PKLMT.
The PWM stage operates at twice the PFC frequency (e.g., 200 kHz PWM / 100 kHz PFC), features peak-current-mode control with slope compensation via CT_BUFF, programmable soft-start (SS2), and independent UVLO2 (3.55 V turn-off, 3.2 V hysteresis). Sequencing ensures PWM activation only after PFC output reaches 90% of target and continues until PFC drops to 47%.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PFC:PWM Frequency Ratio | 1:2 - PWM stage runs at double the PFC frequency, reducing output capacitor ripple and enabling optimized magnetics sizing. |
| UVLO2 Turn-Off Threshold | 3.55 V - Ensures controlled PWM shutdown during brownout, maintaining PFC regulation longer than 1:1 variants. |
| Gate Drive Strength | 2-A source / 3-A sink per GT1/GT2 - Directly drives MOSFET gates without external buffers in ≤300-W designs. |
| Rise/Fall Time (1 nF) | 16 ns / 7 ns - Enables fast switching transitions, minimizing switching losses in high-frequency PFC and PWM stages. |
| Zero Power Detect Threshold | 0.33 V on VAOUT - Disables PFC gate drive when output load falls near zero, improving light-load efficiency and safety. |
| Maximum Duty Cycle Clamp | Programmable via D_MAX pin (0.09–0.90 V range) - Prevents transformer saturation in flyback or forward topologies. |
| Reference Voltage | 7.5 V ±15 mV - Stable internal reference for precision feedback scaling and resistor-divider programming of thresholds. |
Pinout & Package
UCC28517DW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27-mm pitch, rated for −40°C to +105°C operation and 0.7 W 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 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; triggers zero-power detect at 0.33 V. |
| IAC (18) | Multiplier line-voltage current input | Accepts rectified AC line current (≤500 µA); feeds analog multiplier with VFF for input voltage feedforward. |
| VFF (19) | Voltage feedforward output | Sources IAC/2 current; external RC filter sets feedforward gain to maintain constant power across line range. |
| PKLMT (14) | PFC peak current limit input | Voltage threshold (0 V reference) for overcurrent protection; programmed via resistor divider from VREF. |
| SS2 (13) | PWM soft-start capacitor node | 10.5-µA internal current charges external cap to ramp VERR and control PWM duty-cycle startup profile. |
| D_MAX (4) | PWM maximum duty cycle clamp | Analog input (0.09–0.90 V) linearly sets GT2 max duty; prevents core saturation in flyback/forward converters. |
| CT_BUFF (5) | Buffered PWM oscillator ramp | 4-V amplitude buffered ramp; directly connects to ISENSE2 for slope compensation in peak-current-mode control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PFC+PWM control | Single-chip solution eliminates inter-stage timing mismatches and reduces BOM count vs. discrete controllers. |
| Leading-edge PFC + trailing-edge PWM | Minimizes ripple current in boost output capacitor by 30–50% vs. TEM/TEM schemes, lowering thermal stress. |
| Programmable PWM frequency ratio | Fixed 1:2 ratio (UCC28517DW) allows independent optimization of PFC inductor size and PWM transformer design. |
| Zero-power detect | Automatically disables PFC stage when VAOUT falls below 0.33 V, eliminating no-load power consumption. |
| Independent UVLO2 for PWM stage | 3.55 V turn-off with 3.2 V hysteresis extends PWM operation during line sag while ensuring safe shutdown. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PFC+PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28516DW | Same 1:2 PFC:PWM ratio and 3.55 V UVLO2 turn-off, but 6.3 V UVLO2 hysteresis (vs. UCC28517DW's 3.2 V). | Preferred where wider UVLO2 hysteresis improves immunity to noisy 12-V bias rails. | Select UCC28516DW if bias supply has >100 mV ripple; otherwise UCC28517DW offers tighter hysteresis for faster recovery. |
| UCC28070DW | Dual-phase interleaved PFC controller only-no integrated PWM stage; requires separate PWM IC (e.g., UCC2891). | Used in higher-power (>1.5 kW) systems needing lower PFC current ripple and independent PWM optimization. | Choose UCC28070DW + companion PWM only when PFC power exceeds 1.2 kW or interleaving is mandatory for EMI compliance. |
Compared with UCC28516DW, UCC28517DW provides narrower UVLO2 hysteresis (3.2 V vs. 6.3 V) for faster re-enable after brownout, while UCC28070DW lacks integrated PWM entirely-requiring additional layout, timing coordination, and component cost.

FAQ
What is the PFC:PWM frequency ratio for UCC28517DW?
The UCC28517DW implements a fixed 1:2 PFC:PWM frequency ratio-meaning the PWM stage operates at twice the PFC switching frequency (e.g., 200 kHz PWM with 100 kHz PFC). This is confirmed in the "Available Options" table and oscillator section of the SLUS517C datasheet, distinguishing it from 1:1 variants like UCC28510DW.
How does UCC28517DW handle startup sequencing between PFC and PWM stages?
UCC28517DW enforces strict sequencing: the PWM stage remains suppressed until the PFC output voltage reaches 90% of its regulated value. During shutdown or line dropout, PWM continues operating until the PFC output falls to 47% of nominal-ensuring stable secondary regulation. This behavior is hard-coded and verified in the device description and application diagram.
What is the purpose of the CT_BUFF pin on UCC28517DW?
The CT_BUFF pin on UCC28517DW provides a buffered 4-V amplitude PWM oscillator ramp signal. It is designed to connect directly to the ISENSE2 pin via a single resistor for slope compensation in peak-current-mode PWM control-eliminating need for external op-amps or complex compensation networks.
Does UCC28517DW support zero-power detection, and how is it implemented?
Yes, UCC28517DW includes zero-power detection. It monitors the VAOUT pin: when VAOUT falls below 0.33 V (with 40–140 mV hysteresis), the PFC gate drive (GT1) is automatically disabled. This feature is documented in the "Zero Power" electrical characteristics table and terminal descriptions, reducing no-load power consumption.
What are the UVLO2 thresholds for UCC28517DW, and why do they matter?
UCC28517DW has a PWM-stage UVLO2 turn-off threshold of 3.55 V and hysteresis of 3.2 V. These values ensure the PWM remains active longer during brownouts than 1:1 variants (which use 5.30 V turn-off), preserving output regulation while allowing graceful shutdown-critical for industrial and medical applications with unstable AC inputs.
