Product details
Overview
UCC28811D from Texas Instruments is a transition-mode LED lighting power controller for single-stage PFC flyback, buck, or boost converters operating in critical conduction mode (CRM). It delivers ±750-mA peak gate drive, features 12.5-V UVLO turn-on threshold, 300-µA gM amplifier source current, and integrated zero-energy detection for valley-switching-enabling triac-dimmable AC-input LED drivers for street lighting and outdoor luminaires.
For engineers reviewing the UCC28811D datasheet, UCC28811D pinout, UCC28811D application, or UCC28811D equivalent, key selection considerations include its lower UVLO threshold enabling two-stage converter coordination, reduced gM amplifier source current for controlled error voltage ramp-up, OVP/enable/zero-power protection circuits, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with thermal design constraints up to 105°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The UCC28811D implements CRM control via self-oscillating PWM: turn-on is triggered by transformer zero-energy detection at the TZE pin (1.25-V typical rising threshold), while turn-off is governed by the ISENSE comparator (1.7-V max threshold) with 75-mV internal offset to reduce zero-crossing distortion. Its transconductance error amplifier (90 µS typical gM) drives the current reference generator using VINS and EAOUT inputs to enforce input-current shaping proportional to rectified line voltage.
Unlike the UCC28810D, the UCC28811D uses a 12.5-V UVLO turn-on threshold and 300-µA gM amplifier source current-enabling reliable start-up under downstream PWM control in two-stage topologies and preventing abrupt EAOUT voltage steps during transients. Its integrated slew-rate enhancement activates only when VSENSE exceeds 2.55 V or falls below 2.1 V, improving large-signal response without compromising stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| UVLO Turn-On Threshold | 12.5 V - enables coordination with downstream PWM controllers in two-stage LED drivers |
| gM Amplifier Source Current | 300 µA - limits EAOUT voltage ramp rate to prevent line-current overshoot during transients |
| Peak Gate Drive Current | ±750 mA - directly drives external MOSFETs without external buffer stages in 25-W designs |
| TZE Rising Threshold | 1.25 V - detects transformer demagnetization for valley-switching, reducing switching losses |
| VSENSE Reference Voltage | 2.50 V - sets output regulation point; OVP triggers at +7.5% (2.69 V) for secondary overvoltage protection |
| Operating Temperature Range | –40°C to 105°C - supports outdoor lighting applications with wide ambient thermal swings |
| Package Thermal Impedance | 150°C/W - defines maximum power dissipation limit (≈167 mW at 105°C ambient) for SOIC-8 layout |
Pinout & Package
UCC28811D is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with exposed pad not present; thermal performance relies on PCB copper area per JEDEC JESD 51-3/7 standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSENSE (Pin 1) | Inverting input to gM amplifier & OVP/enable comparator | Senses regulated output via resistive divider; <0.23 V disables switching for open-loop fault protection |
| EAOUT (Pin 2) | Transconductance amplifier output | Drives current reference generator; dynamic range 2.5–4.0 V; 300-µA source current prevents rapid line-current rise |
| VINS (Pin 3) | Input voltage sense for current reference generator | Accepts 0–3.5 V from AC line divider; combined with EAOUT to generate line-shaped current command |
| ISENSE (Pin 4) | Current-sense comparator input | Detects MOSFET peak current; 75-mV internal offset improves THD; clamps at 1.7 V to terminate switching cycle |
| TZE (Pin 5) | Transformer zero-energy detector input | Monitors bias winding; active clamp limits voltage to 0.65–6 V; restart timer triggers after 400 µs no-detection |
| GND (Pin 6) | Signal and power ground reference | Must connect bypass capacitor (≥0.1 µF) with shortest possible trace to minimize noise coupling |
| GDRV (Pin 7) | Gate driver output | Delivers ±750 mA peak; pull-up/pull-down resistances of 5–12 Ω / 2–10 Ω define rise/fall times with external FET gate capacitance |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Supply input with internal clamp | Internally clamped to 20 V; 12.5-V UVLO allows operation with smaller holdup capacitors in two-stage systems |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Transition-mode CRM control | Enables >0.95 power factor and low THD in single-stage LED drivers without complex timing circuitry |
| Integrated zero-energy detection | Eliminates need for auxiliary winding sensing ICs; TZE pin directly interfaces with transformer bias winding |
| Triac dimming compatibility | Supports leading-edge phase-cut wall dimmers via input filter damping and transient response optimization |
| Two-stage converter ready | 12.5-V UVLO and 300-µA gM source current allow seamless integration with downstream PWM controllers in streetlight systems |
| OVP, enable, and zero-power protection | Independent comparators disable GDRV if VSENSE opens, exceeds 2.69 V, or drops below 2.3 V-preventing runaway and overvoltage damage |

FAQ
What is the UVLO turn-on threshold voltage for the UCC28811D?
The UCC28811D has a UVLO turn-on threshold of 12.5 V (typical), with a minimum of 12.0 V and maximum of 13.0 V across temperature. This lower threshold compared to the UCC28810D (15.8 V) allows the UCC28811D to be enabled earlier in two-stage power converter architectures where a downstream PWM controller regulates VDD. The 2.8-V hysteresis ensures stable operation during line sags.
How does the UCC28811D implement zero-energy detection for valley switching?
The UCC28811D uses the TZE pin to monitor transformer demagnetization via a bias winding. When the primary current reaches zero, ringing on the bias winding pulls the TZE pin below 1.25 V (rising-edge threshold), triggering the next gate pulse near the voltage valley. Internal active clamps limit TZE voltage to 0.65–6 V, and a 400-µs restart timer forces switching if zero-energy is undetected-ensuring reliable CRM operation in UCC28811D-based LED drivers.
Can the UCC28811D be used in triac-dimmable LED drivers?
Yes, the UCC28811D is explicitly designed for triac-dimmable LED lighting applications. Its enhanced transient response, slew-rate comparator, and input filter damping capability-documented in TI's SLUS865 datasheet-enable stable operation with leading-edge phase-cut dimmers. Reference Design 1 demonstrates a 25-W triac-dimmable PFC flyback using UCC28811D, confirming compatibility with standard wall dimmers without flicker or drop-out.
What is the function of the 75-mV offset in the ISENSE path of the UCC28811D?
The UCC28811D adds a fixed 75-mV offset to the ISENSE signal before it reaches the current-sense comparator. This offset compensates for zero-crossing distortion caused by transformer leakage inductance and MOSFET body diode conduction, improving total harmonic distortion (THD) and power factor across the full AC input cycle. The offset is internal and non-adjustable, ensuring consistent performance without external component tuning in UCC28811D designs.
Does the UCC28811D support overvoltage protection (OVP) and open-feedback protection?
Yes, the UCC28811D integrates dual protection: OVP triggers when VSENSE exceeds 2.69 V (2.5 V + 0.19 V), latching off GDRV until reset; open-feedback protection activates when VSENSE falls below 0.23 V (enable threshold), forcing immediate shutdown. Both functions use dedicated comparators referenced to the 2.5-V internal bandgap, providing independent fault coverage that safeguards LEDs and power stage components in UCC28811D-based systems.
