Product details
Overview
UCC28517NG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual-stage combination controller integrating average-current-mode PFC and peak-current-mode PWM control in a single 20-pin PDIP (N) package. It delivers 2-A source / 3-A sink gate drive for both stages, supports 1:2 PFC:PWM frequency ratio (PWM at 2× PFC), features programmable maximum duty cycle clamp, soft-start, and zero power detect. It targets IEC61000-3-2-compliant AC/DC front-ends in industrial power supplies and server PSUs.
For engineers reviewing the UCC28517NG4 datasheet, UCC28517NG4 pinout, UCC28517NG4 application, or UCC28517NG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1:2 frequency option, UVLO2 turn-off threshold of 3.55 V, 7.5-V precision reference, and dual gate drivers optimized for boost PFC + flyback/buck-derived PWM topologies.
Technical Context
The UCC28517NG4 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 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 slope compensation via CT_BUFF, programmable D_MAX clamp (70–80% max duty), and independent UVLO2 (6.3–7.3 V turn-on, 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 | 1:2 - PWM operates at twice the PFC switching frequency, enabling higher PWM resolution and reduced output filter size. |
| UVLO2 Turn-Off Threshold | 3.55 V - Ensures controlled PWM shutdown during brownout when PFC output falls below 47% of nominal. |
| Reference Voltage | 7.5 V ±15 mV - Precision internal reference powering internal comparators and external bias networks. |
| Gate Drive Strength | 2-A source / 3-A sink per output - Directly drives MOSFET gates without external buffers in typical 300–500 W designs. |
| Zero Power Detect Threshold | 0.33 V (falling edge) - Disables PFC gate drive when VAOUT drops below threshold, eliminating standby losses. |
| Maximum Duty Cycle Clamp | 70–80% - Programmable via D_MAX pin to prevent transformer saturation in forward/flyback topologies. |
| Soft-Start Discharge Current | 6–14 mA - Enables rapid PWM disable during fault conditions by quickly discharging SS2 capacitor. |
Pinout & Package
UCC28517NG4 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. |
| GT2 (10) | PWM Gate Driver Output | Identical drive strength to GT1; PWM activation sequenced after PFC output stabilization. |
| VSENSE (3) | PFC Voltage Feedback Input | Inverting input to transconductance amplifier; also feeds OVP, ENABLE, and UVLO2 comparators. |
| VAOUT (1) | PFC Voltage Amplifier Output | Regulates PFC output; sinks up to 3.3 mA during slew enhancement; triggers zero-power detect at 0.33 V. |
| IAC (18) | PFC Line Voltage Sensing Input | Current input proportional to rectified line voltage; max 500 µA for accurate feedforward scaling. |
| VFF (19) | PFC Voltage Feedforward Output | Sources IAC/2 current; external RC filter sets feedforward gain to maintain near-unity power factor. |
| SS2 (13) | PWM Soft-Start Control | Capacitor-connected node charged at 10.5 µA to ramp PWM duty; rapidly discharged on fault. |
| D_MAX (4) | PWM Max Duty Clamp Input | Analog voltage (0.09–0.90 V) linearly sets 70–80% max duty cycle to prevent transformer saturation. |
| CT_BUFF (5) | PWM Oscillator Ramp Buffer | 4-V amplitude buffered ramp used directly for slope compensation via resistor to ISENSE2. |
| VREF (20) | 7.5-V Precision Reference | Stable 7.5-V output with ±15 mV tolerance; powers internal circuitry and external divider networks. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the PFC:PWM frequency ratio supported by the UCC28517NG4?
The UCC28517NG4 supports a fixed 1:2 PFC:PWM frequency ratio - the PWM stage switches at twice the frequency of the PFC stage. This is confirmed in the "Available Options" table and oscillator description: for UCC28517N/UCC28517DW, PWM frequency is 2× PFC frequency. The ratio is hard-coded by internal logic and cannot be changed externally.
Does the UCC28517NG4 provide hardware-based zero power detection?
Yes, the UCC28517NG4 integrates a dedicated zero power detect comparator monitoring VAOUT. When VAOUT falls below 0.33 V (typical, falling edge), the comparator forces GT1 gate drive to zero, disabling the PFC stage. This feature is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table and Detailed Pin Descriptions for VAOUT (Pin 1).
What is the UVLO2 turn-off threshold for the UCC28517NG4 PWM stage?
The UCC28517NG4 has a UVLO2 turn-off threshold of 3.55 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "PWM stage undervoltage lockout (UVLO2)" for devices UCC28512, UCC28513, UCC28516, and UCC28517. This ensures PWM remains active until the PFC output decays to 47% of nominal before shutdown.
Can the UCC28517NG4 drive MOSFET gates directly without external buffers?
Yes, the UCC28517NG4 provides 2-A source and 3-A sink peak current per gate driver (GT1 and GT2), with rise/fall times of 16 ns / 7 ns into 1-nF loads. These specifications enable direct drive of medium-power MOSFETs (e.g., 600-V, 20–50 nC Qg) commonly used in 300–600 W PFC and PWM stages.
How is the maximum PWM duty cycle programmed on the UCC28517NG4?
The maximum PWM duty cycle is set via the D_MAX pin (Pin 4): applying a DC voltage between 0.09 V and 0.90 V linearly programs a 70–80% clamp. A precision resistor divider from VREF (7.5 V) is recommended. Voltages below 0.7 V force 0% duty cycle, as stated in the Detailed Pin Descriptions section for D_MAX.
