The UCx84x family offers a variety of package
options, temperature range options, choice of
maximum duty cycle, and choice of turnon and turnoff
thresholds and hysteresis ranges. Devices with
higher turnon or turnoff hysteresis are ideal choices
for off-line power supplies, while the devices with a
narrower hysteresis range are suited for DC-DC
applications. The UC184x devices are specified for
operation from –55°C to 125°C, the UC284x series is
specified for operation from –40°C to 85°C, and the
UC384x series is specified for operation from 0°C to
70°C.

3 Description
UC284x
The UCx84x series of control integrated circuits
provide the features that are necessary to implement
off-line or DC-to-DC fixed-frequency current-mode
control schemes, with a minimum number of external
components. The internally implemented circuits
include an undervoltage lockout (UVLO), featuring a
start-up current of less than 1 mA, and a precision
reference trimmed for accuracy at the error amplifier
input. Other internal circuits include logic to ensure
latched operation, a pulse-width modulation (PWM)
comparator that also provides current-limit control,
and a totem-pole output stage that is designed to
source or sink high-peak current. The output stage,
suitable for driving N-channel MOSFETs, is low when
it is in the off state.

OUTPUT is the gate drive for the external MOSFET. OUTPUT is the
output of the on-chip driver stage intended to directly drive a
MOSFET. Peak currents of up to 1 A are sourced and sunk by this
pin. OUTPUT is actively held low when VCC is below the turnon
threshold.
OUTPUT

Fixed frequency oscillator set point. Connect timing resistor, RRT, to
VREF and timing capacitor, CCT, to GROUND from this pin to set the
switching frequency. For best performance, keep the timing capacitor
lead to the device GROUND as short and direct as possible. If
possible, use separate ground traces for the timing capacitor and all
other functions.

I/O
The frequency of the oscillator can be estimated with the following
equations:
1.72
fOSC =
RRT × CCT
(1)
where fOSC is in Hertz, RRT is in Ohms and CCT is in Farads. Never
use a timing resistor less than 5 kΩ. The frequency of the OUTPUT
gate drive of the UCx842 and UCx843, fSW, is equal to fOSC at up to
100% duty cycle; the frequency of the UCx844 and UCx845 is equal
to half of the fOSC frequency at up to 50% duty cycle.

Bias supply input for the output gate drive. For PWM controllers that
do not have this pin, the gate driver is biased from the VCC pin. VC
must have a bypass capacitor at least 10 times greater than the gate
capacitance of the main switching FET used in the design.
Analog controller bias input that provides power to the device. Total
VCC current is the sum of the quiescent VCC current and the
average OUTPUT current. Knowing the switching frequency and the
MOSFET gate charge, Qg, the average OUTPUT current can be
calculated from:
IOUTPUT = Q g × fSW
(2)
A bypass capacitor, typically 0.1 µF, connected directly to GROUND
with minimal trace length, is required on this pin. An additional
bypass capacitor at least 10 times greater than the gate capacitance
of the main switching FET used in the design is also required on
VCC.

O
5-V reference voltage. VREF is used to provide charging current to
the oscillator timing capacitor through the timing resistor. It is
important for reference stability that VREF is bypassed to GROUND
with a ceramic capacitor connected as close to the pin as possible. A
minimum value of 0.1-µF ceramic is required. Additional VREF
bypassing is required for external loads on VREF.

Temperature stability, sometimes referred to as average temperature coefficient, is described by the equation:
VREF:max ; F VREF:min ;
Temp Stability =
(4)
TJ:max ; F TJ:min ;
VREFmin and VREFmax are the maximum and minimum reference voltages
measured over the appropriate temperature range. Note that the extremes in voltage do not necessarily occur at the extremes in
temperature.
OUTPUT switching frequency, fSW, equals the oscillator frequency, fOSC, for the UCx842 and UCx843. OUTPUT switching frequency,
fSW, is one half oscillator frequency, fOSC, for the UCx844 and UCx845.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The UCx84x series of control integrated circuits provide the features necessary to implement AC-DC or DC-toDC fixed-frequency current-mode control schemes with a minimum number of external components. Protection
circuitry includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and current limiting. Internally implemented circuits include a
start-up current of less than 1 mA, a precision reference trimmed for accuracy at the error amplifier input, logic to
ensure latched operation, a pulse-width modulation (PWM) comparator that also provides current-limit control,
and a totem-pole output stage designed to source or sink high-peak current. The output stage, suitable for driving
N-channel MOSFETs, is low when it is in the off-state.
Major differences between members of these series are the UVLO thresholds, acceptable ambient temperature
range, and maximum duty-cycle. Typical UVLO thresholds of 16 V (ON) and 10 V (OFF) on the UCx842 and
UCx844 devices make them ideally suited to off-line AC-DC applications. The corresponding typical thresholds
for the UCx843 and UCx845 devices are 8.4 V (ON) and 7.6 V (OFF), making them ideal for use with regulated
input voltages used in DC-DC applications. The UCx842 and UCx843 devices operate to duty cycles
approaching 100%. The UCx844 and UCx845 obtain a duty-cycle range of 0% to 50% by the addition of an
internal toggle flip-flop, which blanks the output off every other clock cycle.
The UC184x-series devices are characterized for operation from –55°C to 125°C. UC284x-series devices are
characterized for operation from −40°C to 85°C. The UC384x devices are characterized for operation from 0°C to
70°C.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Detailed Pin Description
8.3.1.1 COMP
The error amplifier in the UCx84x family is an open collector in parallel with a current source, with a unity-gain
bandwidth of 1 MHz. The COMP terminal can both source and sink current. The error amplifier is internally
current-limited, so that one can command zero duty cycle by externally forcing COMP to GROUND.
8.3.1.2 VFB
VFB is the inverting input of the error amplifier. VFB is used to control the power converter voltage-feedback loop
for stability. For best stability, keep VFB lead length as short as possible and VFB stray capacitance as small as
possible.
8.3.1.3 ISENSE
The UCx84x current sense input connects to the PWM comparator. Connect ISENSE to the MOSFET source
current sense resistor. The PWM uses this signal to terminate the OUTPUT switch conduction. A voltage ramp
can be applied to this pin to run the device with a voltage mode control configuration or to add slope
compensation. To prevent false triggering due to leading edge noises, an RC current sense filter may be
required. The gain of the current sense amplifier is typically 3 V/V.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.1.4 RT/CT
RT/CT is the oscillator timing pin. For fixed frequency operation, set the timing capacitor charging current by
connecting a resistor from VREF to RT/CT. Set the frequency by connecting timing capacitor from RT/CT to
GROUND. For the best performance, keep the timing capacitor lead to GROUND as short and direct as possible.
If possible, use separate ground traces for the timing capacitor and all other functions.
The UCx84x’s oscillator allows for operation to 500 kHz. The device uses an external resistor to set the charging
current for the external capacitor, which determines the oscillator frequency. The recommended range of timing
resistor values is between 5 kΩ and 100 kΩ; the recommended range of timing capacitor values is between 1 nF
and 100 nF.
1.72
fOSC =
RRT × CCT
(3)
In this equation, the switching frequency, fSW is in Hz, RRT is in Ω, and CCT is in Farads.
8.3.1.5 GROUND
GROUND is the signal and power returning ground. TI recommends separating the signal return path and the
high current gate driver path so that the signal is not affected by the switching current.
8.3.1.6 OUTPUT
The high-current bipolar totem-pole output of the UCx84x devices sinks or sources up to 1-A peak of current.
The OUTPUT pin can directly drive a MOSFET. The OUTPUT of the UCx842 and UCx843 devices switches at
the same frequency as the oscillator and can operate near 100% duty cycle. In the UCx844 and UCx845
devices, the switching frequency of OUTPUT is one-half that of the oscillator due to an internal T flipflop. This
limits the maximum duty cycle in the UCx844 and UCx845 to < 50%. Schottky diodes may be necessary on the
OUTPUT pin to prevent overshoot and undershoot due to high impedance to the supply rail and to ground,
respectively. A bleeder resistor, placed between the gate and the source of the MOSFET, should be used to
prevent activating the power switch with extraneous leakage currents during undervoltage lockout. An external
clamp circuit may be necessary to prevent overvoltage stress on the MOSFET gate when VCC exceeds the gate
voltage rating.
8.3.1.7 VCC
VCC is the power input connection for this device. In normal operation, power VCC through a current-limiting
resistor. Although quiescent VCC current is only 0.5 mA, the total supply current is higher, depending on the
OUTPUT current. Total VCC current is the sum of quiescent VCC current and the average OUTPUT current.
Knowing the operating frequency and the MOSFET gate charge (Qg), average OUTPUT current can be
calculated from Equation 4.
IOUTPUT = Q g × fSW
(4)
The UCx84x has a VCC supply voltage clamp of 34 V typical, but the absolute maximum value for VCC from a
low-impedance source is 30 V. For applications that have a higher input voltage than the recommended VCC
voltage, place a resistor in series with VCC to increase the source impedance. The maximum value of this
resistor is calculated with Equation 5.
R VCC :max ; =
VIN :min ; F VVCC :max ;
IVCC + kQ g × fSW o
(5)
In Equation 5, VIN(min) is the minimum voltage that is used to supply VCC, VVCC(max) is the maximum VCC clamp
voltage and IVCC is the IC supply current without considering the gate driver current and Qg is the external power
MOSFET gate charge and fSW is the switching frequency.
The turnon and turnoff thresholds for the UCx84x family are significantly different: 16 V and 10 V for the UCx842
and UCx844; 8.4 V and 7.6 V for the UCx843 and UCx855. To ensure against noise related problems, filter VCC
with an electrolytic and bypass with a ceramic capacitor to ground. Keep the capacitors close to the IC pins.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.1.8 VREF
VREF is the voltage reference for the error amplifier and also for many other internal circuits in the IC. The highspeed switching logic uses VREF as the logic power supply. The 5-V reference tolerance is ±2% for the UCx84x
family. The output short-circuit current is 30 mA. For reference stability and to prevent noise problems with highspeed switching transients, bypass VREF to ground with a ceramic capacitor close to the IC package. A
minimum of 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor is required. Additional VREF bypassing is required for external loads on the
reference. An electrolytic capacitor may also be used in addition to the ceramic capacitor.
When VCC is greater than 1 V and less than the UVLO threshold, a 5-kΩ resistor pulls VREF to ground. VREF
can be used as a logic output indicating power-system status because when VCC is lower than the UVLO
threshold, VREF is held low.
8.3.2 Pulse-by-Pulse Current Limiting
Pulse-by-pulse limiting is inherent in the current mode control scheme. An upper limit on the peak current can be
established by simply clamping the error voltage. Accurate current limiting allows optimization of magnetic and
power semiconductor elements while ensuring reliable supply operation.
8.3.3 Current-Sense
An external series resistor, RCS, senses the current and converts this current into a voltage that becomes the
input to the ISENSE pin. The ISENSE pin is the noninverting input to the PWM comparator. The ISENSE input is
compared to a signal proportional to the error amplifier output voltage; the gain of the current sense amplifier is
typically 3 V/V. The peak ISENSE current is determined by Equation 6:
ISENSE =
VISENSE
R CS
(6)
The typical value for VISENSE is 1 V. A small RC filter, RCSF and CCSF, may be required to suppress switch
transients caused by the reverse recovery of a secondary side diode or equivalent capacitive loading in addition
to parasitic circuit impedances. The time constant of this filter should be considerably less than the switching
period of the converter.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.4 Error Amplifier With Low Output Resistance
The error amplifier output is an open collector in parallel with a current source. With a low output resistance,
various impedance networks may be used on the compensation pin input for error amplifier feedback. The error
amplifier output, COMP, is frequently used as a control port for secondary-side regulation by using an external
secondary-side adjustable voltage regulator, such as a TL431, to send an error signal across the secondary-toprimary isolation boundary through an opto-isolator, in this configuration connect the COMP pin directly to the
opto-isolator feedback. On the primary side, the inverting input to the UCx48x error amplifier, VFB, should be
connected to GROUND. With VFB tied to GROUND, the error amplifier output, COMP, is forced to its high state
and sources current, typically 0.8 mA. The opto-isolator must overcome the source current capability to control
the COMP pin below the error amplifier output high level, VOH.
For primary-side regulation, configure the inverting input to the error amplifier, VFB, with a resistor divider to
provide a signal that is proportional to the converter output voltage being regulated. Add the voltage loop
compensation components between VFB and COMP. The internal noninverting input to the error amplifier is
trimmed to 2.5 V. For best stability, keep VFB lead length as short as possible and minimize the stray
capacitance on VFB.
The internal resistor divider on COMP is maintained at an R:2R ratio, the specific values of these internal
resistors should not be critical in any application.

8.3.5 Undervoltage Lockout
The UCx84x devices feature undervoltage lockout protection circuits for controlled operation during power-up
and power-down sequences. The UVLO circuit insures that VCC is adequate to make the UCx84x fully
operational before enabling the output stage. Undervoltage lockout thresholds for the UCx842, UCx843, UCx844,
and UCx845 devices are optimized for two groups of applications: off-line power supplies and DC-DC converters.
The 6-V hysteresis in the UCx842 and UCx844 devices prevents VCC oscillations during power sequencing. This
wider VCCON to VCCOFF range, make these devices ideally suited to off-line AC input applications. The UCx843
and UCx845 controllers have a much narrower VCCON to VCCOFF hysteresis and may be used in DC to DC
applications where the input is considered regulated.
Start-up current is less than 1 mA for efficient bootstrapping from the rectified input of an off-line converter, as
illustrated by Figure 17. During normal circuit operation, VCC is developed from auxiliary winding NA with DBIAS
and CVCC. At start-up, however, CVCC must be charged to 16 V through RSTART. With a start-up current of 1 mA,
RSTART can be as large as 100 kΩ and still charge CVCC when VAC = 90 V RMS (low line). Power dissipation in
RSTART would then be less than 350 mW even under high line (VAC= 130 V RMS) conditions.

Feature Description (continued)
During UVLO the IC draws less than 1 mA of supply current. Once crossing the turnon threshold the IC supply
current increases to a maximum of 17 mA, typically 11 mA, During undervoltage lockout, the output driver is
biased to a high impedance state and sinks minor amounts of current. A bleeder resistor, placed between the
gate and the source of the MOSFET should be used to prevent activating the power switch with extraneous
leakage currents during undervoltage lockout.

8.3.6 Oscillator
The oscillator allows for up to 500-kHz switching frequency. The OUTPUT gate drive is the same frequency as
the oscillator in the UCx842 and UCx843 devices and can operate near 100% duty cycle. In the UCx844 and
UCx845 devices, the frequency of OUTPUT is one-half that of the oscillator due to an internal T flipflop that
blanks the output off every other clock cycle, resulting in a maximum duty cycle for these devices of < 50% of the
switching frequency. An external resistor, RRT, connected from VREF to RT/CT sets the charging current for the
timing capacitor, CCT, which is connected from RT/CT to GROUND. An RRT value greater than 5 kΩ is
recommended on RT/CT to set the positive ramp time of the internal oscillator. Using a value of 5 kΩ or greater
for RRT maintains a favorable ratio between the internal impedance and the external oscillator set resistor and
results in minimal change in frequency over temperature. Using a value of less the recommended minimum value
may result in frequency drift over temperature, part tolerances, or process variations.

Feature Description (continued)
The peak-to-peak amplitude of the oscillator waveform is 1.7 V in UCx84x devices. The UCx842 and UCx843
have a maximum duty cycle of approximately 100%, whereas the UCx844 and UCx845 are clamped to 50%
maximum by an internal toggle flip flop. This duty cycle clamp is advantageous in most flyback and forward
converters. For optimum IC performance the dead-time should not exceed 15% of the oscillator clock period. The
discharge current, typically 6 mA at room temperature, sets the dead time, see Figure 9. During the discharge, or
dead time, the internal clock signal blanks the output to the low state. This limits the maximum duty cycle DMAX
to:
DMAX = 1 F :t DEADTIME × fOSC ;
(7)
Equation 8 applies to UCx842 and UCx843 units because the OUTPUT switches at the same frequency as the
oscillator and the maximum duty cycle can be as high as 100%.
DMAX = 1 F lt DEADTIME ×
fOSC
p
2
(8)
Equation 8 applies to UCx844 and UCx845 units because the OUTPUT switches at half the frequency as the
oscillator and the maximum duty cycle can be as high as 50%.
When the power transistor turns off, a noise spike is coupled to the oscillator RT/CT terminal. At high duty cycles,
the voltage at RT/CT is approaching its threshold level (approximately 2.7 V, established by the internal oscillator
circuit) when this spike occurs. A spike of sufficient amplitude prematurely trips the oscillator. To minimize the
noise spike, choose CCT as large as possible, remembering that dead time increases with CCT. It is
recommended that CCT never be less than approximately 1000 pF. Often the noise which causes this problem is
caused by the OUTPUT being pulled below ground at turnoff by external parasitics. This is particularly true when
driving MOSFETs. A Schottky diode clamp from GROUND to OUTPUT prevents such output noise from feeding
to the oscillator.

8.3.7 Synchronization
The simplest method to force synchronization uses the timing capacitor, CCT, in near standard configuration.
Rather than bring CCT to ground directly, a small resistor is placed in series with CCT to ground. This resistor
serves as the input for the sync pulse which raises the CCT voltage above the oscillator’s internal upper
threshold. The PWM is allowed to run at the frequency set by RRT and CCT until the sync pulse appears. This
scheme offers several advantages including having the local ramp available for slope compensation. The
UC3842/3/4/5 oscillator must be set to a lower frequency than the sync pulse stream, typically 20% with a 0.5-V
pulse applied across the resistor.

8.3.8 Shutdown Technique
The PWM controller (see Figure 20) can be shut down by two methods: either raise the voltage at ISENSE
above 1 V or pull the COMP terminal below a voltage two diode drops above ground. Either method causes the
output of the PWM comparator to be high (see Figure 20). The PWM latch is reset dominant so that the output
remains low until the next clock cycle after the shutdown condition at the COMP or ISENSE terminal is removed.
In one example, an externally latched shutdown can be accomplished by adding an SCR that resets by cycling
VCC below the lower UVLO threshold. At this point, the reference turns off, allowing the SCR to reset.

A fraction of the oscillator ramp can be summed resistively with the current-sense signal to provide slope

filter with RCSF to suppress the leading-edge switch spikes.

Upon power up, it is desirable to gradually widen the PWM pulse width starting at zero duty cycle. The UCx84x
devices do not have internal soft-start control, but this can be easily implemented externally with three
components. An R/C network is used to provide the time constant to control the error amplifier output. A
transistor is also used to isolate the components from the normal operation of either node. It also minimizes the
loading effects on the RT/CT time constant by amplification through the transistors gain.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.11 Voltage Mode
In duty cycle control (voltage mode), pulse width modulation is attained by comparing the error amplifier output to
an artificial ramp. The oscillator timing capacitor CCT is used to generate a sawtooth waveform on both current or
voltage mode ICs. To use the UCx84x in a voltage mode configuration, this sawtooth waveform will be input to
the current sense input, ISENSE, for comparison to the error voltage at the PWM comparator. This sawtooth is
used to determine pulse width instead of the actual primary current in this method. Loop compensation is similar
to that of voltage mode controllers with subtle differences due to the low output resistance voltage amplifier in the
UCx84x as opposed to a transconductance (current) type amplifier used in traditional voltage mode controllers.
For further reference on topologies and compensation, consult Closing the Feedback Loop (SLUP068).

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Normal Operation
During normal operating mode, the IC can be used in peak current mode or voltage mode control. When the
converter is operating in peak current mode, the controller regulates the converter's peak current and duty cycle.
When the IC is used in voltage mode control, the controller regulates the power converter's duty cycle. The
regulation of the system's peak current and duty cycle can be achieved with the use of the integrated error
amplifier and external feedback circuitry.
8.4.2 UVLO Mode
During the system start-up, VCC voltage starts to rise from 0 V. Before the VCC voltage reaches its
corresponding turn on threshold, the IC is operating in UVLO mode. In this mode, the VREF pin voltage is not
generated. When VCC is above 1 V and below the turnon threshold, the VREF pin is actively pulled low through
a 5-kΩ resistor. This way, VREF can be used as a logic signal to indicate UVLO mode. If the bias voltage to VCC
drops below the UVLO-off threshold, PWM switching stops and VREF returns to 0 V. The device can be
restarted by applying a voltage greater than the UVLO-on threshold to the VCC pin.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The UCx84x controllers are peak current mode pulse width modulators. These controllers have an onboard
amplifier and can be used in isolated and non-isolated power supply design. There is an onboard totem pole gate
driver capable of delivering 1 A of peak current. This is a high-speed PWM capable of operating at switching
frequencies up to 500 kHz.
9.1.1 Open-Loop Test Fixture
The following application is an open-loop laboratory test fixture. This circuit demonstrates the setup and use of
the UCx84x devices and their internal circuitry.
In the open-loop laboratory test fixture (see Figure 24), high peak currents associated with loads necessitate
careful grounding techniques. Timing and bypass capacitors should be connected close to the GROUND terminal
in a single-point ground. The transistor and 5-kΩ potentiometer sample the oscillator waveform and apply an
adjustable ramp to the ISENSE terminal.

9.2 Typical Application
A typical application for the UC2842 in an off-line flyback converter is shown in Figure 25. The UC2842 uses an
inner current control loop that contains a small current sense resistor which senses the primary inductor current
ramp. This current sense resistor transforms the inductor current waveform to a voltage signal that is input
directly into the primary side PWM comparator. This inner loop determines the response to input voltage
changes. An outer voltage control loop involves comparing a portion of the output voltage to a reference voltage

Typical Application (continued)
at the input of an error amplifier. When used in an off-line isolated application, the voltage feedback of the
isolated output is accomplished using a secondary-side error amplifier and adjustable voltage reference, such as
the TL431. The error signal crosses the primary to secondary isolation boundary using an opto-isolator whose
collector is connected to the VREF pin and the emitter is connected to VFB. The outer voltage control loop
determines the response to load changes.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
This procedure outlines the steps to design an off-line universal input continuous current mode (CCM) flyback
converter using the UC2842. See Figure 25 for component names referred to in the design procedure.
9.2.2.1 Input Bulk Capacitor and Minimum Bulk Voltage
Bulk capacitance may consist of one or more capacitors connected in parallel, often with some inductance
between them to suppress differential-mode conducted noise. The value of the input capacitor sets the minimum
bulk voltage; setting the bulk voltage lower by using minimal input capacitance results in higher peak primary
currents leading to more stress on the MOSFET switch, the transformer, and the output capacitors. Setting the
bulk voltage higher by using a larger input capacitor results in higher peak current from the input source and the
capacitor itself will be physically larger. Compromising between size and component stresses determines the
acceptable minimum input voltage. The total required value for the primary-side bulk capacitance, CIN, is selected
based upon the power level of the converter, POUT, the efficiency target, η, the minimum input voltage, VIN(min),
and is chosen to maintain an acceptable minimum bulk voltage level, VBULK(min), using Equation 9.

(9)
In this equation, VIN(min) is the RMS value of the minimum AC input voltage, 85 VRMS, whose minimum line
frequency is denoted as fLINE(min), equal to 47 Hz. Based on the CIN equation, to achieve a minimum bulk voltage
of 75 V, assuming 85% converter efficiency, the bulk capacitor should be larger than 126 µF; 180 µF was chosen
for the design, taking into consideration component tolerances and efficiency estimation.
9.2.2.2 Transformer Turns Ratio and Maximum Duty Cycle
The transformer design starts with selecting a suitable switching frequency for the given application. The UC2842
is capable of switching up to 500 kHz but considerations such as overall converter size, switching losses, core
loss, system compatibility, and interference with communication frequency bands generally determine an
optimum frequency that should be used. For this off-line converter, the switching frequency, fSW, is selected to be
110 kHz as a compromise to minimize the transformer size and the EMI filter size, and still have acceptable
losses.
The transformer primary to secondary turns ratio, NPS, can be selected based on the desired MOSFET voltage
rating and the secondary diode voltage rating. Because the maximum input voltage is 265 VRMS, the peak bulk
input voltage can be calculated as shown in Equation 10.
VBULK (max ) = ¾2 × VIN (max ) N 375 V
(10)
To minimize the cost of the system, a readily available 650-V MOSFET is selected. Derating the maximum
voltage stress on the drain to 80% of its rated value and allowing for a leakage inductance voltage spike of up to
30% of the maximum bulk input voltage, the reflected output voltage should be less than 130 V as shown in
Equation 11.

The maximum primary to secondary transformer turns ratio, NPS, for a 12 V output can be selected as
NPS =
VREFLECTED
= 10.85
VOUT
(12)
A turns ratio of NPS = 10 is used in the design example.
The auxiliary winding is used to supply bias voltage to the UC2842. Maintaining the bias voltage above the VCC
minimum operating voltage after turn on is required for stabile operation. The minimum VCC operating voltage
for the UC2842 version of the controller is 10 V. The auxiliary winding is selected to support a 12-V bias voltage
so that it is above the minimum operating level but still keeps the losses low in the IC. The primary to auxiliary
turns ratio, NPA, can be calculated from Equation 13:
NPA = NPS ×

The output diode experiences a voltage stress that is equal to the output voltage plus the reflected input voltage:

To allow for voltage spikes due to ringing, a Schottky diode with a rated blocking voltage of greater than 60 V is
recommended for this design. The forward voltage drop, VF, of this diode is estimated to be equal to 0.6 V
To avoid high peak currents, the flyback converter in this design operates in continuous conduction mode. Once
NPS has been determined, the maximum duty cycle, DMAX, can be calculated using the transfer function for a
CCM flyback converter:

(16)
Because the maximum duty cycle exceeds 50%, and the design is an off-line (AC-input) application, the UC2842
is best suited for this application.
9.2.2.3 Transformer Inductance and Peak Currents
For this design example, the transformer magnetizing inductance is selected based upon the CCM condition. An
inductance value that allows the converter to stay in CCM over a wider operating range before transitioning into
discontinuous current mode is used to minimize losses due to otherwise high currents and also to decrease the
output ripple. The design of the transformer in this example sizes the inductance so the converter enters CCM
operation at approximately 10% load and minimum bulk voltage to minimize output ripple.
The inductor, LP for a CCM flyback can be calculated using Equation 17.

In Equation 17, the input power, PIN, is estimated by dividing the maximum output power, POUT, by the target
efficiency, η, and fSW is the switching frequency; for the UC2842 the switching frequency is equal to the oscillator
frequency and is set to 110 kHz. Therefore, the transformer inductance should be approximately 1.8 mH; a 1.5mH inductance is chosen as the magnetizing inductance value for this design.
Based on calculated inductor value and the switching frequency, the current stress of the MOSFET and output
diode can be calculated.
The peak current in the primary-side MOSFET of a CCM flyback can be calculated as shown in Equation 18.

(21)
To design for device tolerances, a 2200-µF capacitor was selected.
9.2.2.5 Current Sensing Network
The current sensing network consists of the primary-side current sensing resistor, RCS, filtering components RCSF
and CCSF, and optional RP. Typically, the direct current sense signal contains a large amplitude leading edge
spike associated with the turnon of the main power MOSFET, reverse recovery of the output rectifier, and other
factors including charging and discharging of parasitic capacitances. Therefore, CCSF and RCSF form a low-pass
filter that provides immunity to suppress the leading edge spike. For this converter, CCSF is chosen to be 100 pF.
Without RP, RCS sets the maximum peak current in the transformer primary based on the maximum amplitude of
the ISENSE pin, which is specified to be 1 V. To achieve 1.36-A primary side peak current, a 0.75-Ω resistor is
chosen for RCS.
The high current sense threshold of ISENSE helps to provide better noise immunity to the system but also
results in higher losses in the current sense resistor. These current sense losses can be minimized by injecting
an offset voltage into the current sense signal using RP. RP and RCSF form a resistor divider network from the
current sense signal to the device’s reference voltage, VREF, which adds an offset to the current sense voltage.
This technique still achieves current mode control with cycle-by-cycle over-current protection. To calculate
required offset value (VOFFSET), use Equation 22.
VOFFSET =
R CSF
× VREF
R CSF + R P
(22)
Once RP is added, adjust the current sense resistor, RCS, accordingly.
9.2.2.6 Gate Drive Resistor
RG is the gate driver resistor for the power switch, QSW. The selection of this resistor value must be done in
conjunction with EMI compliance testing and efficiency testing. Using a larger resistor value for RG slows down
the turnon and turnoff of the MOSFET. A slower switching speed reduces EMI but also increases the switching
loss. A trade-off between switching loss and EMI performance must be carefully performed. For this design, a 10Ω resistor was chosen for the gate drive resistor.
9.2.2.7 VREF Capacitor
A precision 5-V reference voltage performs several important functions. The reference voltage is divided down
internally to 2.5 V and connected to the error amplifier’s noninverting input for accurate output voltage regulation.
Other duties of the reference voltage are to set internal bias currents and thresholds for functions such as the
oscillator upper and lower thresholds. Therefore, the reference voltage must be bypassed with a ceramic
capacitor (CVREF), a 1-µF, 16-V ceramic capacitor was selected for this converter. Placement of this capacitor on
the physical printed-circuit board layout must be as close as possible to the respective VREF and GROUND pins.
9.2.2.8 RT/CT
The internal oscillator uses a timing capacitor (CCT) and a timing resistor (RRT) to program the oscillator
frequency and maximum duty cycle. The operating frequency can be programmed based the curves in
Application Curves, where the timing resistor can be found once the timing capacitor is selected. It is best for the
timing capacitor to have a flat temperature coefficient, typical of most COG or NPO type capacitors. For this
converter, 15.4 kΩ and 1000 pF were selected for RRT and CCT to operate at 110-kHz switching.

9.2.2.9 Start-Up Circuit
At start-up, the IC gets its power directly from the high-voltage bulk, through a high-voltage resistor RSTART. The
selection of the start-up resistor is the trade-off between power loss and start-up time. The current flowing
through RSTART at the minimum input voltage must be higher than the VCC current under UVLO conditions (1 mA
at its maximum value). A resistance of 100-kΩ was chosen for RSTART, providing 1 mA of start-up current at lowline conditions. The start-up resistor is physically comprised of two 50-kΩ resistors in series to meet the high
voltage requirements and power rating at high-line.
After VCC is charged up above the UVLO-on threshold, the UC2842 starts to consume full operating current. The
VCC capacitor is required to provide enough energy to prevent its voltage from dropping below the UVLO-off
threshold during start-up, before the output is able to reach its regulated level. A large bulk capacitance would
hold more energy but would result in slower start-up time. In this design, a 120-µF capacitor is chosen to provide
enough energy and maintain a start-up time of approximately 2 seconds.
9.2.2.10 Voltage Feedback Compensation
Feedback compensation, also called closed-loop control, can reduce or eliminate steady state error, reduce the
sensitivity of the system to parametric changes, change the gain or phase of a system over some desired
frequency range, reduce the effects of small signal load disturbances and noise on system performance, and
create a stable system from an unstable system. A system is stable if its response to a perturbation is that the
perturbation eventually dies out. A peak current mode flyback uses an outer voltage feedback loop to stabilize
the converter. To adequately compensate the voltage loop, the open-loop parameters of the power stage must
be determined.
9.2.2.10.1 Power Stage Poles and Zeroes
The first step in compensating a fixed frequency flyback is to verify if the converter is continuous conduction
mode (CCM) or discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). If the primary inductance, LP, is greater than the
inductance for DCM/CCM boundary mode operation, called the critical inductance, or LPcrit, then the converter
operates in CCM:
LP > LPcrit , then CCM
LPcrit =
R OUT × :NPS
2 × fSW
;2
(23)
×l
VIN
p
VIN + VOUT × NPS
2
(24)
For the entire input voltage range, the selected inductor has value larger than the critical inductor. Therefore, the
converter operates in CCM and the compensation loop requires design based on CCM flyback equations.
The current-to-voltage conversion is done externally with the ground-referenced current sense resistor, RCS, and
the internal resistor divider of 2R/R which sets up the internal current sense gain, ACS = 3. Note that the exact
value of these internal resistors is not critical but the IC provides tight control of the resistor divider ratio, so
regardless of the actual resistor value variations their relative value to each other is maintained.
The DC open-loop gain, GO, of the fixed-frequency voltage control loop of a peak current mode control CCM
flyback converter shown in Equation 25 is approximated by first using the output load, ROUT, the primary to
secondary turns ratio, NPS, the maximum duty cycle, D, calculated in Equation 25.

SLUS223F – APRIL 1997 – REVISED APRIL 2020
For this design, a converter with an output voltage VOUT of 12 V, and 48 W relates to an output load, ROUT, equal
to 3 Ω at full load. With a maximum duty cycle calculated to be 0.627, a current sense resistance, RCS, of 0.75 Ω,
and a primary to secondary turns-ratio, NPS, of 10, the open-loop gain calculates to 3.082, or 9.776 dB.
A CCM flyback has two zeroes that are of interest. The ESR and the output capacitance contribute a left-half
plane zero, ωESRz, to the power stage, and the frequency of this zero, fESRz, are calculated with Equation 30.

2 × N × R ESR × COUT
XESRz =

(29)
(30)
The fESRz zero for an output capacitance of 2200 µF and a total ESR of 43 mΩ is located at 1.682 kHz.
CCM flyback converters have a zero in the right-half plane, RHP, in their transfer function. A RHP zero has the
same 20 dB/decade rising gain magnitude with increasing frequency just like a left-half plane zero, but it adds a
90° phase lag instead of lead. This phase lag tends to limit the overall loop bandwidth. The frequency location,
fRHPz, of the RHP zero, ωRHPz, is a function of the output load, the duty cycle, the primary inductance, LP, and the
primary to secondary side turns ratio, NPS.

(32)
The right-half plane zero frequency increases with higher input voltage and lighter load. Generally, the design
requires consideration of the worst case of the lowest right-half plane zero frequency and the converter must be
compensated at the minimum input and maximum load condition. With a primary inductance of 1.5 mH, at 75-V
DC input, the RHP zero frequency, fRHPz, is equal to 7.07 kHz at maximum duty cycle, full load.
The power stage has one dominate pole, ωP1, which is in the region of interest, located at a lower frequency, fP1,
which is related to the duty cycle, D, the output load, and the output capacitance, calculated with Equation 34.
There is also a double pole placed at half the switching frequency of the converter, fP2 calculated with
Equation 36. For this example, pole fP1 is located at 40.37 Hz and fP2 is at 55 kHz.

9.2.2.10.2 Slope Compensation
Slope compensation is the large signal sub-harmonic instability that can occur with duty cycles that may extend
beyond 50% where the rising primary side inductor current slope may not match the falling secondary side
current slope. The sub-harmonic oscillation would result in an increase in the output voltage ripple and may even
limit the power handling capability of the converter.
The target of slope compensation is to achieve an ideal quality coefficient, QP , to be equal to 1 at half of the
switching frequency. The QP is calculated with Equation 37.
QP =
1
N × >MC × :1 F D; F 0.5?
(37)
In Equation 37, D is the primary side switch duty cycle and MC is the slope compensation factor, which is defined
with Equation 38.

In Equation 38, Se is the compensation ramp slope and the Sn is the inductor rising slope. The optimal goal of
the slope compensation is to achieve QP equal to 1; upon rearranging Equation 38 the ideal value of slope

For this design to have adequate slope compensation, MC must be 2.193 when D reaches it maximum value of

The compensation slope, Se, is calculated with Equation 41.
Se = :MC F 1; × Sn = 44.74

The compensation slope is added into the system through RRAMP and RCSF. The CRAMP is an AC-coupling
capacitor that allows the voltage ramp of the oscillator to be used without adding an offset to the current sense;
select a value to approximate high frequency short circuit, such as 10 nF as a starting point and make
adjustments if required. The RRAMP and RCSF resistors form a voltage divider from the oscillator charge slope and
this proportional ramp is injected into the ISENSE pin to add slope compensation. Choose the value of RRAMP to
be much larger than the RRT resistor so that it does not load down the internal oscillator and result in a frequency
shift. The oscillator charge slope is calculated using the peak-to-peak voltage of the RT/CT sawtooth waveform,
VOSCpp, equal to 1.7 V, and the minimum on-time, as shown in Equation 43.

9.2.2.10.4 Compensation Loop
The design of the compensation loop involves selecting the appropriate components so that the required gain,
poles, and zeros can be designed to result in a stabile system over the entire operating range. There are three
distinct portions of the loop: the TL431, the opto-coupler, and the error amplifier. Each of these stages is
combined with the power stage to result in a stable robust system.
For good transient response, the bandwidth of the finalized design should be as large as possible. The
bandwidth of a CCM flyback, fBW, is limited to ¼ of the RHP zero frequency, or approximately 1.77 kHz using
Equation 47.
fBW =
fRHPz
4
(47)
The gain of the open-loop power stage at fBW can be calculated using Equation 46 or can be observed on the
Bode plot (Figure 26 ) and is equal to –19.55 dB and the phase at fBW is equal to –58°.
The secondary side portion of the compensation loop begins with establishing the regulated steady state output
voltage. To set the regulated output voltage, a TL431 adjustable precision shunt regulator is ideally suited for use
on the secondary side of isolated converters due to its accurate voltage reference and internal op amp. The
resistors used in the divider from the output terminals of the converter to the TL431 REF pin are selected based
upon the desired power consumption. Because the REF input current for the TL431 is only 2 µA, selecting the
resistors for a divider current, IFB_REF, of 1 mA results in minimal error. The top divider resistor, RFBU, is
calculated using Equation 48:
R FBU =
VOUT F REFTL431
IFB _REF
(48)
The TL431 reference voltage, REFTL431, has a typical value of 2.495 V. A 9.53-kΩ resistor is chosen for RFBU. To
set the output voltage to 12 V, 2.49 kΩ is used for RFBB.
R FBB =
REFTL431
× R FBU
VOUT F REFTL431
(49)
For good phase margin, a compensator zero, fCOMPz, is needed and should be placed at 1/10th the desired
bandwidth:
fBW
10
= 2 × N × fCOMPz
fCOMPz =
XCOMPz
(50)
(51)
With this converter, fCOMPz should be set at approximately 177 Hz. A series resistor, RCOMPz, and capacitor,
CCOMPz, placed across the TL431 cathode to REF sets the compensator zero location. Setting CCOMPz to 0.01 µF,
RCOMPz is calculated using Equation 52:

Using a standard value of 88.7 kΩ for RZ and a 0.01 µF for CZ results in a zero placed at 179 Hz.
Referring to Figure 25, RTLbias provides cathode current to the TL431 from the regulated voltage provided from
the Zener diode, DREG. For robust performance, 10 mA is provided to bias the TL431 by way of the 10-V Zener
and 1-kΩ resistor is used for RTLbias.
The gain of the TL431 portion of the compensation loop can be written as:

A compensation pole is needed at the frequency of right half plane zero or the ESR zero, whichever is lowest.
Based previous the analysis, the right half plane zero, fRHPz, is located at 7.07 kHz and the ESR zero, fESRz, is at
1.68 kHz; therefore, for this design, the compensation pole must be put at 1.68 kHz. The opto-coupler contains a
parasitic pole that is difficult to characterize over frequency so the opto-coupler is set up with a pulldown resistor,
ROPTO equal to 1 kΩ, which moves the parasitic opto-coupler pole further out and beyond the range of interest for
this design.
The required compensation pole can be added to the primary side error amplifier using RCOMPp and CCOMPp.
Choosing RCOMPp as 10 kΩ, the required value of CCOMPp is determined using Equation 54.
CCOMPp =
1
2 × N × fESRz × R COMPp
= 9.46 nF
(54)
A 10-nF capacitor is used for CCOMPp setting the compensation pole at 1.59 kHz.
Adding a DC gain to the primary side error amplifier may be required to obtain the required bandwidth and helps
to adjust the loop gain as needed. Using a 4.99 kΩ for RFBG sets the DC gain on the error amplifier to 2. At this
point the gain transfer function of the error amplifier stage, GEA(s), of the compensation loop can be
characterized:
GEA :s; = l

Using an opto-coupler whose current transfer ratio (CTR) is typically at 100% in the frequency range of interest
so that CTR = 1, the transfer function of the opto-coupler stage, GOPTO(s), is equal to:
GOPTO (s) =
CTR × R OPTO
R LED
(56)
The bias resistor, RLED, to the internal diode of the opto-coupler, and the pulldown resistor on the opto emitter,
ROPTO, sets the gain across the isolation boundary. ROPTO has already been set to 1 kΩ but the value of RLED has
not yet been determined.
The total closed-loop gain, GTOTAL(s), is the combination of the open-loop power stage, Ho(s), the opto gain,
GOPTO(s), the error amplifier gain, GEA(s), and the gain of the TL431 stage, GTL431(s):
GTOTAL :s; = HOPEN :s; × GOPTO :s; × GEA :s; × GTL431 :s;
(57)
The required value for RLED can be selected to achieve the desired crossover frequency, fBW. By setting the total
loop gain equal to 1 at the desired crossover frequency and rearranging Equation 57, the optimal value for RLED
can be determined, as shown in Equation 58.
R LED Q HOPEN :s; × CTR × COPTO × GEA :s; × GTL431 :s;
(58)
A 1.3-kΩ resistor suits the requirement for RLED.
Based on the compensation loop structure, the entire compensation loop transfer function is written as
Equation 59.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
It is important to bypass the ICs supply (VCC) and reference voltage (VREF) pins with a 0.1-µF to 1-µF ceramic
capacitor to ground. The capacitors must be placed as close to the actual pin connections as possible for optimal
noise filtering. A second, larger filter capacitor may also be required in offline applications to hold the supply
voltage (VCC) above the UVLO turnoff threshold during start-up.
To prevent false triggering due to leading edge noises, an RC current sense filter may be required on ISENSE.
Keep the time constant of the RC filter well below the minimum on-time pulse width.
Schottky diodes may be necessary on the OUTPUT pin to prevent overshoot and undershoot due to the high
impedance to the supply rail and to ground, respectively. A bleeder resistor, placed between the gate and the
source of the MOSFET should be used to prevent activating the power switch with extraneous leakage currents
during undervoltage lockout.
To prevent noise problems with high-speed switching transients, bypass VREF to ground with a ceramic
capacitor close to the IC package. A minimum of 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor is required. Additional VREF
bypassing is required for external loads on the reference. An electrolytic capacitor may also be used in addition
to the ceramic capacitor.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
11.1.1 Feedback Traces
Try to run the feedback trace as far from the inductor and noisy power traces as possible. Be as direct as
possible with the feedback trace and somewhat thick. These two sometimes involve a trade-off, but keeping it
away from EMI and other noise sources is the more critical of the two. If possible, run the feedback trace on the
side of the PCB opposite of the inductor with a ground plane separating the two.
11.1.2 Bypass Capacitors
When using a low value ceramic bypass capacitor, it should be located as close to the VCC pin of the device as
possible. This eliminates as much trace inductance effects as possible and gives the internal device rail a cleaner
voltage supply. Using surface mount capacitors also reduces lead length and lessens the chance of noise
coupling into the effective antenna created by through-hole components.
11.1.3 Compensation Components
For best stability, external compensation components should be placed close to the IC. Keep VFB lead length as
short as possible and VFB stray capacitance as small as possible. Surface mount components are
recommended here as well for the same reasons discussed for the filter capacitors. These should not be located
very close to traces with high switching noise.
11.1.4 Traces and Ground Planes
Make all of the power (high current) traces as short, direct, and thick as possible. It is good practice on a
standard PCB board to make the traces an absolute minimum of 15 mils (0.381 mm) per Ampere. The inductor,
output capacitors, and output diode should be as close to each other possible. This helps reduce the EMI
radiated by the power traces due to the high switching currents through them. This also reduces lead inductance
and resistance as well, which in turn reduces noise spikes, ringing, and resistive losses that produce voltage
errors.
The grounds of the IC, input capacitors, output capacitors, and output diode (if applicable) should be connected
close together directly to a ground plane. It would also be a good idea to have a ground plane on both sides of
the PCB. This reduces noise as well by reducing ground loop errors as well as by absorbing more of the EMI
radiated by the inductor. For multi-layer boards with more than two layers, a ground plane can be used to
separate the power plane (where the power traces and components are) and the signal plane (where the
feedback and compensation and components are) for improved performance. On multi-layer boards the use of
vias is required to connect traces and different planes. It is good practice to use one standard via per 200 mA of
current if the trace needs to conduct a significant amount of current from one plane to the other.
Arrange the components so that the switching current loops curl in the same direction. Due to the way switching
regulators operate, there are two power states. One state when the switch is on and one when the switch is off.
During each state there is a current loop made by the power components that are currently conducting. Place the
power components so that during each of the two states the current loop is conducting in the same direction.
This prevents magnetic field reversal caused by the traces between the two half-cycles and reduces radiated
EMI.
