UC1846-SP Class-V, Radiation Hardened PWM Controller
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The UC1846-SP control devices provide all of the
necessary features to implement fixed frequency,
current mode control schemes while maintaining a
minimum external parts count. The superior
performance of this technique can be measured in
improved line regulation, enhanced load response
characteristics, and a simpler, easier-to-design
control loop. Topological advantages include inherent
pulse-by-pulse current limiting capability, automatic
symmetry correction for push-pull converters, and the
ability to parallel power modules while maintaining
equal current sharing.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The UC1846-SP control devices provide all of the necessary features to implement fixed frequency, current
mode control schemes while maintaining a minimum external parts count. The superior performance of this
technique can be measured in improved line regulation, enhanced load response characteristics, and a simpler,
easier-to-design control loop. Topological advantages include inherent pulse-by-pulse current limiting capability,
automatic symmetry correction for push-pull converters, and the ability to parallel “power modules" while
maintaining equal current sharing.

7.3 Feature Description
UC1846-SP is a current mode controller, used to support various topologies such as forward, flyback, halfbridge, full bridge, push-pull configurations.
Current mode control is a two-loop system. The switching power supply inductor is hidden within the inner
current control loop. This simplifies the design of the outer voltage control loop and improves power supply
performance in many ways, including better dynamics. The objective of this inner loop is to control the statespace averaged inductor current, but in practice the instantaneous peak inductor current is the basis for control
(switch current, equal to inductor current during the on time, is often sensed). If the inductor ripple current is
small, peak inductor current control is nearly equivalent to average inductor current control.

Feature Description (continued)
The peak method of inductor current control functions by comparing the upslope of inductor current (or switch
current) to a current program level set by the outer loop. The comparator turns the power switch off when the
instantaneous current reaches the desired level. The current ramp is usually quite small compared to the
programming level, especially when VIN is low. As a result, this method is extremely susceptible to noise. A noise
spike is generated each time the switch turns on. A fraction of a volt coupled into the control circuit can cause it
to turn off immediately, resulting in a sub-harmonic operating mode with much greater ripple. Circuit layout and
bypassing are critically important to successful operation.
The peak current mode control method is inherently unstable at duty ratios exceeding 0.5, resulting in subharmonic oscillation. A compensating ramp (with slope equal to the inductor current downslope) is usually
applied to the comparator input to eliminate this instability. A slope compensation must be added to the sensed
current waveform or subtracted from the control voltage to ensure stability above a 50% duty cycle. A
compensating ramp (with slope equal to the inductor current downslope) is usually applied to the comparator
input to eliminate this instability.
The pulse width modulator (PWM) of UC1846-SP is limited to a maximum duty cycle of 50%, thus it can be used
in topologies such as push-pull, half bridge, full bridge, forward, flyback configurations. Limiting PWM to 50%
duty cycle ensures that for isolated or transformer based topologies. The transformer is allowed to reset and
prevent saturation of the transformer core.
Pulse-by-pulse symmetry correction (flux balancing) is inherent to current mode controllers and essential for the
push-pull topology to prevent core saturation.
Current limit control design has numerous advantages:
1. Current mode control provided peak switch current limiting – pulse by pulse current limit.
2. Control loop is simplified as one pole due to output inductor is pushed to higher frequency , thus a two pole
system turns into two real poles. Thus system reduces to a first order system thus simplifies the control.
3. Multiple converter can be paralleled and allows equal current sharing amount the various converters.
4. Inherently provides for input voltage feed-forward as any perturbation in the input voltage will be reflected in
the switch or inductor current. Since switch or inductor current is a direct control input, thus this perturbation
is very rapidly corrected.
5. The error amplifier output (outer control loop) defines the level at which the primary current (inner loop) will
regulate the pulse width, and output voltage.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Oscillator
Figure 8 highlights the oscillator circuit. Connecting a resistor RT from pin 9 to ground establishes a current,
which is mirrored to pin 8 and charges the capacitor connected from pin 8 to ground. Maximum on time
corresponds to the maximum charging time of the timing capacitor. Oscillator frequency can be determined by
Equation 5.
Off-time corresponds to capacitor discharge time establishes the converter dead time between the pulses
according to Equation 4. Internal 8-mA current sink discharges the CT pin capacitor.
7.3.3 Slope Compensation
For duty cycle above 50% slope compensating can be implemented by using a buffer (that is, 2N2222) and
connecting base to timing capacitor pin 8, collector to VREF (5 V), a resistor in series with emitter connected to
(pin 4) CS+ of differential current sense amplifier. Injecting a downslope proportional to the sawtooth into current
sense amplifier.
As with any bipolar PWM IC, outputs should be protected from negatively biasing the substrate. This is typically
done by using Schottky diodes from ground to each output. Failure to do this could cause spurious interruption
and restart of the oscillator, dropping of output pulses and a significant increase in propagation delays.
7.3.4 Error Amplifier
UC1846-SP incorporates an error amplifier with typical open loop gain of 100 dB and gain bandwidth of 1.5 MHz.
With Source and sink capability of 10 mA and 0.5 mA respectively.
Error amplifier sources up to 0.5 mA.
Figure 4. Error Amplifier Output Configuration
7.3.5 Current Sense Amplifier
UC1846-SP incorporates a differential current sense amplifier which can eliminate ground loop problems and
increase noise immunity. An R-C snubber can also be implemented thus helping in blanking the peak current
spike when the switch is turned on. The input of the current sense amplifier is slew rate limited allowing lower
values of filter capacitors to be used to eliminate leading edge noise.
A small RC filter may be required in some applications to reduce switch transients. Differential input allows remote,
noise-free sensing.

7.3.7 Shutdown
UC1846-SP incorporates a shutdown pin (pin 16). Shutdown threshold voltage is 350 mV. Exceeding the
shutdown threshold voltage causes the device to shutdown.
• If current into ICL_SS VREF/R1 > 3-mA SCR holding current (minimum latch current), then the device latches
off. Power recycle is required to un-latch the device.
• If VREF/R1 < 0.8 mA, that is ICL_SS < 0.8 A, then this ensures that the circuit does not latch in a shutdown
state.

Connecting a capacitor from CL/SS pin 1 to ground which is charged by 0.5-mA internal current source will
determine the soft-start time. If over current is also implemented as shown in Figure 6, then SS charge time will
be determined by charging SS capacitor by 0.5-mA current as well as current contributed by R1 resistor in
charging the SS capacitor.

point. The devices also may operate at lower input voltages, the minimum UVLO voltage is not specified. At input

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.1.2.1 Input Capacitor Selection
Load current, duty cycle, and switching frequency are several factors which determine the magnitude of the input
ripple voltage. Without the input capacitor, the pulsating current of Q1 would need to be completely supplied by
the host source, VIN, which commonly does not have sufficiently low output impedance. Thus there would be
substantial noise on the host DC voltage source and an increase in the conducted EMI on the board. The input
capacitor, CIN, effectively filters the input current so the current from the host DC source is approximately an
average current.
The input ripple voltage amplitude is directly proportional to the output load current. The maximum input ripple
amplitude occurs at maximum output load. Also, the amplitude of the voltage ripple varies with the duty cycle of
the converter.
UC1846-SP requires a high quality ceramic, type X5R or X7R, input decoupling capacitor of at least 47 μF of
effective capacitance on the VIN input voltage pins. In some applications additional bulk capacitance may also be
required for the VIN input. The effective capacitance includes any DC bias effects. The voltage rating of the input
capacitor must be greater than the maximum input voltage. The capacitor must also have a ripple current rating
greater than the maximum input current ripple of the UC1846-SP. The input ripple current can be calculated
using Equation 6.
Icirms = Iout ´
Vout
(Vinmin- Vout)
´
Vinmin
Vinmin
(6)
The value of a ceramic capacitor varies significantly over temperature and the amount of DC bias applied to the
capacitor. The capacitance variations due to temperature can be minimized by selecting a dielectric material that
is stable over temperature. X5R and X7R ceramic dielectrics are usually selected for power regulator capacitors
because they have a high capacitance to volume ratio and are fairly stable over temperature. The output
capacitor must also be selected with the DC bias taken into account. The capacitance value of a capacitor
decreases as the DC bias across a capacitor increases.
The input capacitance value determines the input ripple voltage of the regulator. The input voltage ripple can be
calculated using Equation 7.
Iout max´ 0.25
DVin =
Cin ´ fSW
(7)
8.2.1.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitance of a switching regulator is a vital part of the overall feedback system. The energy storage
inductor and the output capacitor form a second-order low-pass filter.
In switching power supply power stages, the function of output capacitance is to store energy. The energy is
stored in the capacitor’s electric field due to the voltage applied. Thus, qualitatively, the function of a capacitor is
to attempt to maintain a constant voltage.
The value of output capacitance of a buck power stage is generally selected to limit output voltage ripple to the
level required by the specification. Since the ripple current in the output inductor is usually already determined,
the series impedance of the capacitor primarily determines the output voltage ripple. The three elements of the
capacitor that contribute to its impedance (and output voltage ripple) are equivalent series resistance (ESR),
equivalent series inductance (ESL), and capacitance (C). The following gives guidelines for output capacitor
selection.
For continuous inductor current mode operation, to determine the amount of capacitance needed as a function of
inductor current ripple, ΔIL, switching frequency, fS, and desired output voltage ripple, ΔVO, Equation 8 is used
assuming all the output voltage ripple is due to the capacitor’s capacitance.

SLUS871D – JANUARY 2009 – REVISED DECEMBER 2016
Each capacitor type is characterized by its impedance and the frequency range over which it is most effective.
The frequency at which the impedance reaches its minimum is determined by its ESR and ESL. It is known as
the self resonant frequency of the capacitor. The self resonant frequency is considered to be the maximum
usable frequency for a capacitor. Above this frequency the impedance of the capacitor begins to rise as the ESL
of the capacitor begins to dominate. Note that each capacitor type has a specific frequency band over which it is
most effective. Therefore, a capacitor network of multiple capacitor types is more effective in reducing impedance
than just one type.
The current slew rate of a regulator is limited by its output filter inductor. When the amount of current required by
the load changes, the initial current deficit must be supplied by the output capacitors until the regulator can meet
the load demand.
The desired response to a large change in the load current is the first criteria. The output capacitor needs to
supply the load with current when the regulator control loop can not supply the current. This happens when Load
(ie: memory, processor) has a large and fast increase in current, such as a transition from no load to full load.
The regulator typically needs two or more clock cycles for the control loop to see the change in load current,
output voltage and adjust the duty cycle to react to the change. The output capacitor must be properly sized to
supply the extra current to the Load until the control loop responds to the Load change. The output capacitance
must be large enough to supply the difference in current for 2 clock cycles while only allowing a tolerable amount
of droop in the output voltage. Equation 9 shows the minimum output capacitance necessary to accomplish this.
2 ´ DIout
CO >
fSW ´ DVout
(9)
Where ΔIout is the change in output current, fSW is the regulators switching frequency and ΔVout is the allowable
change in the output voltage. For this example, the transient load response is specified as a 5% change in Vout
for a load step of 1 A. For this example, ΔIout = 1 A and ΔVout = 0.05 × 3.3 = 0.165 V. Using these numbers
gives a minimum capacitance of 25 μF. This value does not take the ESR of the output capacitor into account in
the output voltage change. For ceramic capacitors, the ESR is usually small enough to ignore in this calculation.
8.2.1.2.3 Output Inductor Selection
To calculate the value of the output inductor, use Equation 10. Kind is a coefficient that represents the amount of
inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current. The inductor ripple current is filtered by the output
capacitor. Therefore, choosing high inductor ripple currents impact the selection of the output capacitor since the
output capacitor must have a ripple current rating equal to or greater than the inductor ripple current. In general,
the inductor ripple value is at the discretion of the designer; however, Kind is normally from 0.1 to 0.3 for the
majority of applications. VinLC refers to the voltage at the input of output LC filter.
VinLC - Vout
Vout
´
L1 =
IO ´ Kind
VinLC ´ fSW
(10)
The current flowing through the inductor is the inductor ripple current plus the output current. During power up,
faults or transient load conditions, the inductor current can increase above the calculated peak inductor current
level calculated above. In transient conditions, the inductor current can increase up to the switch current limit of
the device. For this reason, the most conservative approach is to specify an inductor with a saturation current
rating equal to or greater than the switch current limit rather than the peak inductor current.
8.2.1.2.4 Switching Frequency
Initial accuracy of UC1846-SP oscillator frequency is 200 kHz ±15% over the temperature range. Switching
frequency selection is a trade-off between the overall design size and efficiency. Operating at lower switching
frequency will result in higher efficiency at the expense of larger solution footprint.
Oscillator frequency can be determined as follows:
RT = 10 kΩ
CT = 1 nF
fT =

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The devices are designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 8 V and 40 V. This input
supply should be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the UC1846-SP
converter additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. A tantalum
capacitor with a value of 47 μF is a typical choice, however this may vary depending upon the output power
being delivered.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Always try to use a low EMI inductor with a ferrite type closed core. Some examples would be toroid and
encased E core inductors. Open core can be used if they have low EMI characteristics and are located a bit
more away from the low power traces and components. Make the poles perpendicular to the PCB as well if using
an open core. Stick cores usually emit the most unwanted noise.
Each output driver of these devices is capable of 2-A peak currents. Careful layout is essential for correct
operation of the chip. A ground plane must be employed. A unique section of the ground plane must be
designated for high di/dt currents associated with the output stages. Power ground can be separated from the
rest of the ground plane and connected at a single point, although this is not necessary if the high di/dt paths are
well understood and accounted for. VIN should be bypassed directly to power ground with a good high frequency
capacitor. The sources of the power MOSFET should connect to power ground as should the return connection
for input power to the system and the bulk input capacitor. The output should be clamped with a high current
Schottky diode to both VIN and GND. Nothing else should be connected to power ground.
VREF should be bypassed directly to the signal portion of the ground plane with a good high frequency
capacitor. Low ESR/ESL ceramic 1-μF capacitors are recommended for both VIN and VREF. All analog circuitry
should likewise be bypassed to the signal ground plane.

Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
