5 Description (continued)
The UCC280x family offers a variety of package options, temperature range options, choice of maximum duty
cycle, and choice of critical voltage levels. Lower reference parts such as the UCC2803 and UCC2805 fit best
into battery-operated systems, while the higher reference and higher UVLO hysteresis of the UCC2802 and
UCC2804 make these ideal choices for use in off-line power supplies.
The UCC280x series is specified for operation from –40°C to 125°C.

DESCRIPTION
COMP is the output of the error amplifier and the input of the PWM comparator.
COMP
1
O
The error amplifier in the UCC280x family is a true, low output impedance, 2MHz operational amplifier. As such, the COMP terminal can both source and sink
current. However, the error amplifier is internally current-limited, so the user can
command zero duty cycle by externally forcing COMP to GND.
The UCC280x family features built-in full-cycle soft start. Soft start is
implemented as a clamp on the maximum COMP voltage.

NAME

I/O
DESCRIPTION
CS is the input to the current sense comparators. The UCC280x family has two
different current sense comparators: the PWM comparator and an overcurrent
comparator.
CS
3
I
The UCC280x family contains digital current sense filtering, which disconnects
the CS terminal from the current sense comparator during the 100-ns interval
immediately following the rising edge of the OUT pin. This digital filtering, also
called leading-edge blanking, means that in most applications, no analog filtering
(RC filter) is required on CS. Compared to an external RC filter technique, the
leading-edge blanking provides a smaller effective CS to OUT propagation delay.
Note, however, that the minimum non-zero On-time of the OUT signal is directly
affected by the leading-edge-blanking and the CS to OUT propagation delay.
The overcurrent comparator is only intended for fault sensing, and exceeding the
overcurrent threshold causes a soft-start cycle.
FB is the inverting input of the error amplifier. For best stability, keep FB lead
length as short as possible and FB stray capacitance as small as possible.
FB

I
GND

—
GND is reference ground and power ground for all functions on this part.
NC

OUT is the output of a high-current power driver capable of driving the gate of a
power MOSFET with peak currents exceeding ±750 mA. OUT is actively held low
when VCC is below the UVLO threshold.
OUT
6
O
The high-current power driver consists of FET output devices, which can switch
all of the way to GND and all of the way to VCC. The output stage also provides a
very low impedance to overshoot and undershoot. This means that in many
cases, external schottky clamp diodes are not required.
PWR GND
—
—
Power ground of the IC
RC is the oscillator timing pin. For fixed frequency operation, set timing capacitor
charging current by connecting a resistor from REF to RC. Set frequency by
connecting a timing capacitor from RC to GND. For best performance, keep the
timing capacitor lead to GND as short and direct as possible. If possible, use
separate ground traces for the timing capacitor and all other functions.
The frequency of oscillation can be estimated with the following equations:

where

The recommended range of timing resistors is between 10 k and 200 k, and
timing capacitor is 100 pF to 1000 pF. Never use a timing resistor less than 10 k.

PIN
NAME
SOIC
I/O
DESCRIPTION
REF is the voltage reference for the error amplifier, and also for many other
functions on the IC. REF is also used as the logic power supply for high-speed
switching logic on the IC.
REF
8
O
When VCC is greater than 1 V and less than the UVLO threshold, REF is pulled
to ground through a 5-kΩ resistor. This means that REF can be used as a logic
output indicating power system status. It is important for reference stability that
REF is bypassed to GND with a ceramic capacitor as close to the pin as
possible. An electrolytic capacitor may also be used in addition to the ceramic
capacitor. A minimum of 0.1-μF ceramic is required. Additional REF bypassing is
required for external loads greater than 2.5 mA on the reference.
To prevent noise problems with high speed switching transients, bypass REF to
ground with a ceramic capacitor very close to the IC package.
VCC is the power input connection for this device. In normal operation, VCC is
powered through a current limiting resistor. Although quiescent VCC current is
very low, total supply current is higher depending on OUT current. Total VCC
current is the sum of quiescent VCC current and the average OUT current.
Knowing the operating frequency and the MOSFET gate charge (Qg), average
OUT current can be calculated from:
VCC
7
I
IOUT = Qg ´ f
(3)
To prevent noise problems, bypass VCC to GND with a ceramic capacitor as
close to the VCC pin as possible. An electrolytic capacitor may also be used in
addition to the ceramic capacitor. There must be a minimum of 1 µF in parallel
with a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor from VCC to ground placed close to the device.

All voltages are with respect to GND. All currents are positive into the specified terminal.
Stresses beyond those listed under Section 8.1 may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do
not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Section 8.3. Exposure to
absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
In normal operation Vcc is powered through a current limit resistor. The resistor must be sized so that the VCC voltage under all
operating conditions is below 12 V but above the turnoff threshold. Absolute maximum of 12 V applies when VCC is driven from a low
impedance source such that ICC does not exceed 30mA. Failure to limit VCC and ICC to these limits may result in permanent damage
of the device. This is further discussed in the Section 11.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The UCC280x family of high-speed, low-power integrated circuits contain all of the control and drive components
required for off-line and DC-to-DC fixed-frequency, current-mode switching mode power supplies with minimal
parts count.
These devices have the same pin configuration as the UCx84x family, and also offer the added features of
internal full-cycle soft start and internal leading-edge blanking of the current-sense input.

The UCC280x family of devices are pinout compatible with the UCx84x and UCx84xA families. However, they
are not plug-in compatible. In general, the UCC280x requires fewer external components and consumes less
operating current.
9.3.1 Detailed Pin Description
9.3.1.1 COMP
Unlike other devices, the error amplifier in the UCC280x family is a true, low output impedance, 2-MHz
operational amplifier. As such, the COMP terminal can both source and sink current. However, the error amplifier
is internally current-limited, so that one can command zero duty cycle by externally forcing COMP to GND.
The UCC280x has a true low output impedance error amplifier which both sources and sinks current. The error
amplifier associated with the UC3842 family is an open collector in parallel with a current source.
The UCC280x has power-up soft start and fault soft start built on-chip with a fixed COMP rise time to 5 V in
4 ms. Therefore, no external soft-start circuitry is required, saving 1 resistor, 1 capacitor, and 1 PNP transistor.
9.3.1.2 FB
FB is the inverting input of the error amplifier. For best stability, keep FB lead length as short as possible and FB
stray capacitance as small as possible.
The UCC280x features a 2-MHz bandwidth error amplifier versus 1 MHz on the UC3842 family. Feedback
techniques are identical to the UC3842 family.
9.3.1.3 CS
CS is the PWM comparator and an overcurrent comparator. The UCC280x family contains digital current sense
filtering, which disconnects the CS terminal from the current sense comparator during the 100-ns interval
immediately following the rising edge of the OUT pin. This digital filtering, also called leading-edge blanking,
means that in most applications, no analog filtering (RC filter) is required on CS. Compared to an external RC
filter technique, the leading-edge blanking provides a smaller effective CS to OUT propagation delay. Note,
however, that the minimum non-zero on-time of the OUT signal is directly affected by the leading-edge-blanking
and the CS to OUT propagation delay. The overcurrent comparator is only intended for fault sensing, and
exceeding the overcurrent threshold causes a soft-start cycle.
The UCC280x current sense is significantly different from its predecessor. The UC3842 family current sense
input connects to only the PWM comparator. The UCC280x current sense input connects to two comparators:
the PWM comparator and the overcurrent comparator. Internal leading edge blanking masks the first 100 ns of
the current sense signal. This may eliminate the requirement for an RC current sense filter and prevent false
triggering due to leading edge noises. Connect CS directly to MOSFET source current sense resistor. The gain
of the current sense amplifier on the UCC280x family is typically 1.65 V/V versus typically 3 V/V with the UC3842
family.
9.3.1.4 RC
RC is the oscillator timing pin. For fixed frequency operation, set timing capacitor charging current by connecting
a resistor from REF to RC. Set frequency by connecting timing capacitor from RC to GND. For the best
performance, keep the timing capacitor lead to GND as short and direct as possible. If possible, use separate
ground traces for the timing capacitor and all other functions.
The UCC280x’s oscillator allows for operation to 1 MHz versus 500 kHz with the UC3842 family. Both devices
make use of an external resistor to set the charging current for the capacitor, which determines the oscillator
frequency. For the UCC2802 and UCC2804, use Equation 4.

In these two equations, switching frequency (f) is in Hz, R is in Ω, and C is in farads.
The two equations are different due to different reference voltages. The recommended range of timing resistor
values is between 10 kΩ and 200 kΩ; the recommended range of timing capacitor values is between 100 pF and
1000 pF. The peak-to-peak amplitude of the oscillator waveform is 2.45 V versus 1.7 V in UC3842 family. For
best performance, keep the timing capacitor lead to GND as short as possible. TI recommends separate ground
traces for the timing capacitor and all other pins. The maximum duty cycle for the UCC2802 and UCC2803 is
approximately 99%; the maximum duty cycle for the UCC2803 and UCC2804 is approximately 49%. The duty
cycle cannot be easily modified by adjusting RT and CT, unlike the UC3842A family. The maximum duty cycle
limit is set by the ratio of the external oscillator charging resistor RT and the internal oscillator discharge
transistor on-resistance, like the UC3842. However, maximum duty cycle limits less than 90% (for the UCC2802
and UCC2803) and less than 45% (for the UCC2804 and UCC2805) can not reliably be set in this manner. For
better control of maximum duty cycle, consider using the UCCx807.
9.3.1.5 GND
GND pin 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.
9.3.1.6 OUT
OUT is the output of a high-current power driver capable of driving the gate of a power MOSFET with peak
currents exceeding 750 mA. OUT is actively held low when VCC is below the UVLO threshold. The high-current
power driver consists of FET output devices, which can switch all of the way to GND and all of the way to VCC.
The output stage also provides a low impedance to overshoot and undershoot. This means that in many cases,
external Schottky clamp diodes are not required.
The output of the UCC280x is a CMOS output versus a Bipolar output on the UC3842 family. Peak output
current remains the same ±1 A. The CMOS output provides very smooth rising and falling waveforms, with
virtually no overshoot or undershoot. Additionally, the CMOS output provides a low resistance to the supply in
response to overshoot, and a low resistance to ground in response to undershoot. Because of this, Schottky
diodes may not be necessary on the output. Furthermore, the UCC2802 has a self-biasing, active low output
during UVLO. This feature eliminates the gate to source bleeder resistor associated with the MOSFET gate
drive. Finally, no MOSFET gate voltage clamp is necessary with the UCC280x as the on-chip Zener diode
automatically clamps the output to VCC.
9.3.1.7 VCC
VCC is the power input connection for this device. In normal operation, VCC is powered through a current
limiting resistor. Although quiescent VCC current is very low, total supply current is higher, depending on the
OUT current. Total VCC current is the sum of quiescent VCC current and the average OUT current. Knowing the
operating frequency and the MOSFET gate charge (Qg), average OUT current can be calculated from Equation
6.
IOUT = Qg ´ f
(6)
The UCC280x has a lower VCC (supply voltage) clamp of 13.5 V typical versus 30 V on the UC3842. For
applications that require a higher VCC voltage, a resistor must be placed in series with VCC to increase the
source impedance. The maximum value of this resistor is calculated with Equation 7.

In Equation 7, 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 f is the switching frequency.
Additionally, the UCC280x has an on-chip Zener diode to regulate VCC to 13.5 V. The turnon and turnoff
thresholds for the UCC280x family are significantly different: 12.5 V and 8 V for the UCC2802 and UCC2804;
4.1 V and 3.6 V for the UCC2803 and UCC2805. 5-V PWM operation is now possible. 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.
9.3.1.8 Pin 8 (REF)
REF is the voltage reference for the error amplifier and also for many other functions on the IC. REF is also used
as the logic power supply for high-speed switching logic on the IC. When VCC is greater than 1 V and less than
the UVLO threshold, REF is pulled to ground through a 5-kΩ resistor. This means that REF can be used as a
logic output indicating power system status. It is important for reference stability that REF is bypassed to GND
with a ceramic capacitor as close to the pin as possible. An electrolytic capacitor may also be used in addition to
the ceramic capacitor. A minimum of 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor is required. Additional REF bypassing is required
for external loads greater than 2.5 mA on the reference. To prevent noise problems with high-speed switching
transients, bypass REF to ground with a ceramic capacitor close to the IC package.
The UCC2802 and UCC2804 have a 5-V reference. The UCC2803 and UCC2805 have a 4-V reference; both
±1.5% versus ±2% on the UC3842 family. The output short-circuit current is lower 5 mA versus 30 mA. REF
must be bypassed to ground with a ceramic capacitor to prevent oscillation and noise problems. REF can be
used as a logic output; as when VCC is lower than the UVLO threshold, REF is held low.
9.3.2 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The UCC280x devices feature undervoltage lockout protection circuits for controlled operation during power-up
and power-down sequences. Both the supply voltage (VCC) and the reference voltage (Vref) are monitored by
the UVLO circuitry. An active low, self-biasing totem pole output during UVLO design is also incorporated for
enhanced power switch protection.
Undervoltage lockout thresholds for the UCC2802, UCC2803, UCC2804, and UCC2805 devices are different
from the previous generation of UCx842, UCx843, UCx844, and UCx845 PWMs. Basically, the thresholds are
optimized for two groups of applications: off-line power supplies and DC-DC converters.
The UCC2802 and UCC2804 feature typical UVLO thresholds of 12.5 V for turnon and 8.3 V for turnoff,
providing 4.3 V of hysteresis.
For low voltage inputs, which include battery and 5-V applications, the UCC2803 and UCC2805 turn on at 4.1 V
and turn off at 3.6 V with 0.5 V of hysteresis.
The UCC2800 and UCC2801 have UVLO thresholds optimized for automotive and battery applications.
During UVLO the IC draws approximately 100 μA of supply current. Once crossing the turnon threshold the IC
supply current increases typically to about 500 μA, over an order of magnitude lower than bipolar counterparts.

9.3.3 Self-Biasing, Active Low Output
The self-biasing, active low clamp circuit shown in Figure 9-2 eliminates the potential for problematic MOSFET
turnon. As the PWM output voltage rises while in UVLO, the P device drives the larger N type switch ON, which
clamps the output voltage low. Power to this circuit is supplied by the externally rising gate voltage, so full
protection is available regardless of the ICs supply voltage during undervoltage lockout.

9.3.4 Reference Voltage
The traditional 5-V amplitude bandgap reference voltage of the UC3842 family can be also found on the
UCC2800, UCC2801, UCC2802, and UCC2804 devices. However, the reference voltage of the UCC2803 and
UCC2805 device is 4 V. This change was necessary to facilitate operation with input supply voltages below 5 V.
Many of the reference voltage specifications are similar to the UC3842 devices although the test conditions have
been changed, indicative of lower-current PWM applications. Similar to their bipolar counterparts, the BiCMOS
devices internally pull the reference voltage low during UVLO, which can be used as a UVLO status indication.

Note that the 4-V reference voltage on the UCC2803 and UCC2805 is derived from the supply voltage (VCC)
and requires about 0.5 V of headroom to maintain regulation. Whenever Vcc is below approximately 4.5 V, the
reference voltage also drops outside of its specified range for normal operation. The relationship between VCC
and VREF during this excursion is shown in Figure 9-5.

The noninverting input to the error amplifier is tied to half of the PWM's reference voltage, VREF. Note that this
input is 2 V on the UCC2803 and UCC2805 and 2.5 V on the higher reference voltage parts: the UCC2800,
UCC2801, UCC2802, and UCC2804.
9.3.5 Oscillator
The UCC280x oscillator generates a sawtooth waveform on RC. The rise time is set by the time constant of RT
and CT. The fall time is set by CT and an internal transistor on-resistance of approximately 130 Ω. During the fall
time, the output is OFF and the maximum duty cycle is reduced below 50% or 100%, depending on the part
number. Larger timing capacitors increase the discharge time and reduce the maximum duty cycle and
frequency.

Figure 9-6. Oscillator Equivalent Circuit
The oscillator section of the UCC2800 through UCC2805 BiCMOS devices has few similarities to the UC3842
type — other than single pin programming. It does still use a resistor to the reference voltage and capacitor to
ground to program the oscillator frequency up to 1 MHz. Timing component values must be changed because a
much lower charging current is desirable for low-power operation. Several characteristics of the oscillator have
been optimized for high-speed, noise-immune operation. The oscillator peak-to-peak amplitude has been
increased to 2.45 V typical versus 1.7 V on the UC3842 family. The lower oscillator threshold has been dropped
to approximately 0.2 V while the upper threshold remains fairly close to the original 2.8 V at approximately
2.65 V.
Discharge current of the timing capacitor has been increased to nearly 20-mA peak as opposed to roughly 8 mA.
This can be represented by approximately 130 Ω in series with the discharge switch to ground. A higher current
was necessary to achieve brief dead times and high duty cycles with high-frequency operation. Practical
applications can use these new ICs to a 1-MHz switching frequency.

9.3.6 Synchronization
Synchronization of these PWM controllers is best obtained by the universal technique shown in Figure 9-9. The
ICs oscillator is programmed to free run at a frequency about 20% lower than that of the synchronizing
frequency. A brief positive pulse is applied across the 50-Ω resistor to force synchronization. Typically, a 1-V
amplitude pulse of 100-ns width is sufficient for most applications.
The ICs can also be synchronized to a pulse train input directly to the oscillator RC pin. Note that the IC
internally pulls low at this node once the upper oscillator threshold is crossed. This 130-Ω impedance to ground
remains active until the pin is lowered to approximately 0.2 V. External synchronization circuits must
accommodate these conditions.

9.3.7 PWM Generator
Maximum duty cycle is higher for these devices than for their UC384x predecessor. This is primarily due to the
higher ratio of timing capacitor discharge to charge current, which can exceed one hundred to one in a typical
BiCMOS application. Attempts to program the oscillator maximum duty cycle much below the specified range by
adjusting the timing component values of RT and CT must be avoided. There are two reasons to stay away from
this design practice. First, the ICs high discharge current would necessitate higher charging currents than
necessary for programming, defeating the purpose of low power operation. Secondly, a low-value timing resistor
prevents the capacitor from discharging to the lower threshold and initiating the next switching cycle.
9.3.8 Minimum Off-Time Setting (Dead-Time Control)
Dead time is the term used to describe the ensured OFF time of the PWM output during each oscillator cycle. It
is used to ensure that even at maximum duty cycle, there is enough time to reset the magnetic circuit elements,
and prevent saturation. The dead time of the UCC280x PWM family is determined by the internal 130-Ω
discharge impedance and the timing capacitor value. Larger capacitance values extend the dead time whereas
smaller values results in higher maximum duty cycles for the same operating frequency. A curve for dead time
versus timing capacitor values is provided in Figure 9-10. Increasing the dead time is possible by adding a
resistor between the RC pin of the IC and the timing components, as shown in Figure 9-11. The dead time
increases with the discharge resistor value to about 470 Ω as indicated from the curve in Figure 9-12. Higher
resistances must be avoided as they can decrease the dead time and reduce the oscillator peak-to-peak
amplitude. Sinking too much current (1 mA) by reducing RT will freeze the oscillator OFF by preventing
discharge to the lower comparator threshold voltage of 0.2 V. Adding this discharge control resistor has several
impacts on the oscillator programming. First, it introduces a DC offset to the capacitor during the discharge – but
not the charging portion of the timing cycle, thus lowering the usable peak-to-peak timing capacitor amplitude.
Because of the reduced peak-to-peak amplitude, the exact value of CT may require adjustment from UC3842
type designs to obtain the correct initial oscillator frequency. One alternative is keep the same value timing
capacitor and adjust both the timing and discharge resistor values because these are readily available in finer
numerical increments.
