Product details
Overview
UCC28810DR from Texas Instruments is a transition-mode LED lighting power controller for single-stage, triac-dimmable AC-input PFC flyback converters. It implements critical conduction mode (CrCM) control with transformer zero-energy detection (TZE), delivers ±750-mA peak gate drive, features 2.5-V internal VREF (±2%), and operates across –40°C to 105°C for commercial/residential retrofit luminaires.
For engineers reviewing the UCC28810DR datasheet, UCC28810DR pinout, UCC28810DR application, or UCC28810DR equivalent, this page provides verified CrCM controller specifications, SOIC-8 terminal roles, triac-dimming interface behavior, OVP/enable protection logic, and validated alternatives for AC-input LED driver design.
Technical Context
The UCC28810DR uses a transconductance error amplifier (gM = 90 µS typ.) with slew-rate enhancement activated when VSENSE deviates >±5% from 2.5 V, enabling fast start-up and transient response. Its current reference generator produces a ramp proportional to both VINS (0–3.5 V input) and (EAOUT – 2.5 V), with +75-mV offset to reduce zero-crossing distortion.
Critical conduction mode operation is governed by TZE pin detection of transformer demagnetization (rising-edge threshold 1.25 V, hysteresis 350 mV), triggering turn-on near valley; turn-off is set by ISENSE comparator (1.70 V max threshold). The restart timer enforces ≥5 kHz minimum switching frequency via 400 µs timeout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Control Mode | Critical conduction mode (CrCM) with self-oscillating PWM governed by TZE and ISENSE comparators |
| VDD UVLO Turn-On Threshold | 15.8 V - enables faster start-up with smaller hold-up capacitor vs. UCC28811's 12.5 V |
| Internal Voltage Reference | 2.50 V ±2% - ensures tight output regulation and serves as OVP/enable reference |
| Gate Drive Output | ±750-mA peak - directly drives external MOSFET without external buffer in most 25-W designs |
| Error Amplifier gM | 90 µS typ. - defines loop gain and compensation network sizing for stable PFC flyback control |
| TZE Input Threshold | 1.25 V rising edge with 350-mV hysteresis - detects transformer zero-current crossing for valley-switching |
| OVP Activation Threshold | VSENSE > VREF + 0.190 V (7.6% over nominal) - secondary protection against output overvoltage |
Pinout & Package
UCC28810DR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with standard JEDEC outline, 150°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, and Pb-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSENSE (Pin 1) | Inverting input to transconductance amplifier & OVP/enable comparator | Senses regulated output voltage via divider; <0.67 V disables switching; OVP triggers at VREF+0.190 V |
| EAOUT (Pin 2) | Error amplifier output | Drives current reference generator; dynamic range 2.5–4.0 V; 1-mA enhanced sink/source during transients |
| VINS (Pin 3) | Input voltage sense for current reference generator | Accepts 0–3.5 V from line-voltage divider; enables input-current shaping for PFC |
| ISENSE (Pin 4) | Current-sense input to PWM comparator | Compares switch current to reference; includes 75-mV internal offset to improve THD |
| TZE (Pin 5) | Transformer zero-energy detector input | Detects bias-winding voltage drop to zero; active clamps prevent <0.3 V or >6 V excursion |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power and signal ground reference | Must be connected with shortest possible trace to bypass capacitors and power stage return |
| GDRV (Pin 7) | High-current gate drive output | Delivers ±750-mA peak; rise/fall times <75 ns/50 ns into 1-nF load; pull-up/pull-down resistances defined |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Supply input with integrated UVLO | Internally clamped to 20 V; requires ≥0.1-µF high-frequency bypass to GND; 15.8-V turn-on enables compact startup circuit |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triac dimming interface support | Enables phase-cut dimmer compatibility in single-stage AC-input LED drivers without auxiliary circuits |
| Enhanced slew-rate error amplifier | Activates 1-mA sink/source when VSENSE exceeds 2.3 V or falls below 2.1 V, reducing start-up time and output overshoot |
| Zero-power detect function | Shuts down gate drive at light load when EAOUT <2.3 V, preventing overvoltage without auxiliary winding feedback |
| Integrated OVP and enable protection | Disables switching if VSENSE <0.67 V (open-feedback fault) or >VREF+0.190 V (output overvoltage) |
| Low start-up current | 75–125 µA off-state current enables direct rectified-line startup with minimal dissipation in VDD resistor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED lighting power controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28811DR | UVLO turn-on at 12.5 V (vs. 15.8 V); gM amplifier source current 300 µA (vs. 1.3 mA) | Designed for two-stage converters where downstream PWM controls startup; lower transient response suits larger-area luminaires | Select UCC28811DR only when interfacing with external PWM controller or requiring slower error amplifier response |
| NCP1653ADR2G | Fixed-frequency CCM/PFC controller; no TZE pin; 500-mA gate drive; different compensation architecture | Requires separate dimming interface IC; suited for non-dimmable or 0–10 V dimmed systems, not triac phase-cut | Choose NCP1653ADR2G for cost-sensitive non-dimmable applications where CrCM valley switching is not required |
Compared with UCC28811DR and NCP1653ADR2G, the UCC28810DR uniquely combines triac-dimming readiness, valley-switching CrCM operation, and high gate drive strength in a single SOIC-8 package-making it optimal for compact, single-stage, dimmable LED drivers where fast transient response and small VDD capacitance are critical.

FAQ
What is the primary control topology implemented by the UCC28810DR?
The UCC28810DR implements critical conduction mode (CrCM) control in flyback, buck, or boost topologies. It uses transformer zero-energy detection (TZE pin) to trigger valley-switching turn-on and current-sense comparison (ISENSE pin) to terminate each switching cycle, achieving high efficiency and low EMI without requiring external timing components.
How does the UCC28810DR support triac dimming compatibility?
The UCC28810DR supports triac dimming through its inherent CrCM operation and zero-power detect function. When paired with appropriate input filtering and snubbing, it maintains stable conduction across phase-cut waveforms. The TZE pin synchronizes switching to line zero-crossings, while the 15.8-V UVLO ensures reliable restart after dimmer-induced hold-off periods.
What protection features are integrated into the UCC28810DR?
The UCC28810DR integrates overvoltage protection (OVP), open-feedback protection (via VSENSE enable threshold), overcurrent limiting (via ISENSE comparator), and thermal-safe restart (via 400-µs timer). Its zero-power detect shuts down gate drive under light-load conditions to prevent output overvoltage, eliminating need for auxiliary winding feedback.
What is the role of the VINS pin on the UCC28810DR?
The VINS pin on the UCC28810DR accepts a scaled representation of the rectified AC input voltage (0–3.5 V range) and feeds it to the current reference generator. This enables input-current shaping proportional to the line voltage, achieving >0.9 power factor without additional control loops or external multipliers.
Can the UCC28810DR operate without an optocoupler in isolated flyback designs?
No-the UCC28810DR requires feedback from the secondary side for regulation. In isolated flyback designs, the VSENSE pin must be connected via an optocoupler (e.g., CNY17-3S as shown in TI reference design SLUS865) to close the voltage loop. The EAOUT pin connects to the optocoupler's LED cathode, enabling primary-side regulation with secondary-side sensing.
