7.4.2 Feedback and Voltage Control Loop
The feedback circuit consists of a voltage comparator with the positive input connected to an internal reference
voltage (referenced to GND) and the negative input connected to FB pin. When the feedback voltage at the FB
pin is below the reference voltage VFB_TH logic high is generated at the comparator output. This logic high
triggers the PWM controller, which generates the PWM signal turning on the MOSFET. When the feedback
voltage at the FB pin is above the reference voltage, it indicates that the output voltage of the converter is above
the targeted output voltage set by the external feedback circuitry and PWM is stopped.

7.4.3 PWM Controller
UCC28880 operates under on/off control. When the FB pin voltage is below internal reference 1 V, the converter
is switching and sending power to the load. When the FB pin voltage is above internal reference 1 V, the
converter shuts off and stops delivering power to the load.
The PWM controller does not need a clock signal. The PWM signal’s frequency is set to fSW(max) = (1/(tON(max) +
tOFF(min))) which occurs when the voltage on the FB pin is continuously below VFB_TH.
PWM duty cycle is determined by both the peak current and maximum on time. At each switching cycle, after
turn on, the MOSFET is turned off if its current reaches the fixed peak-current threshold or its on time reaches
the maximum value of on-time pulse tON(max).
Normally the converter would operate under frequency control, which means the converter is only enabled one
switching cycle and then disabled. Next switching cycle starts when output voltage decays and the feedback
enable the converter again. This way, the converter appears to operate under variable switching frequency
control.
The user might observe the converter operates in burst mode that converter is enabled for multiple switching
cycles and then stopped for multiple switching cycles. This causes larger output voltage ripple. However, due to
the infrequent switching it actually helps on the standby power at no load.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
7.4.4 Current Limit
The current limit circuit senses the current through the power MOSFET. The sensing circuit is located between
the source of the power MOSFET and the GND pin. When the current in the power MOSFET exceeds the
threshold ILIMIT, the internal current limit signal goes high, which sets the internal RSTN signal low. This disables
the power MOSFET by driving its gate low. The current limit signal is set back low after the falling edge of the
PWM signal. After the rising edge of the GATE signal, there is a blanking time. During this blanking time, the
current limit signal cannot go high. This blanking time and the internal propagation delay result in minimum on
time, tMIN.
7.4.5 Inductor Current Runaway Protection
To protect the device from overload conditions, including a short circuit at the output, the PWM controller
incorporates a protection feature which prevents the inductor current from runaway. When the output is shorted
the inductor demagnetization is very slow, low di/dt, and when the next switching cycle starts energy stored in
the inductance is still high. After the MOSFET switches on, the current starts to rise from pre-existing DC value
and reaches the current-limit value in a short duration of time. Because of the intrinsic minimum on-time of the
device the MOSFET on-time cannot be lower than tMIN, in an overload or output short circuit the energy
inductance is not discharged sufficiently during MOSFET off-time, it is possible to lose control of the current
leading to a runaway of the inductor current. To avoid this, if the on-time is less than tON_TO (tON_TO is a device
internal time out), the controller increases the MOSFET off-time (tOFF). If the MOSFET on-time is longer than
tON_TO then tOFF is decreased. The controller increases tOFF, cycle-by-cycle, through discrete steps until the ontime continues to stay below tON_TO. The tOFF is increased up to tOFF(ovl) after that, if the on-time is still below
tON_TO the off-time is kept equal to tOFF(ovl). The controller decreases tOFF cycle-by-cycle until the on-time
continues to stay above tON_TO up to tOFF(min). This mechanism prevents control loss of the inductor current and
prevents over stress of the MOSFET (see typical waveforms in Figure 14 and Figure 15). At start up, the tOFF is
set to tOFF(ovl) and reduced cycle-by-cycle (if the on-time is longer than tON_TO) up to tOFF(min) providing a soft start
for the power stage.

Figure 15. Current Runaway Protection, Inductor and MOSFET Current
A minimal value needs to be imposed on the inductance value to avoid nuisance tripping of the protection feature
that prevents the loss of control of the inductor current. Inadvertent operation of the protection feature limits the
output-power capability of the converter. This condition depends on the converter's maximum input operating
voltage and temperature. Use Equation 1 to calculate your minimum inductance value.

The value of Equation 1 can be found by characterization graph of Figure 10. Pick the value at the desired
maximum junction temperature
If the inductance value is too low, such that the MOSFET on-time is always less than tON_TO timeout and the
device progressively increases the MOSFET off-time up to tOFF(ovl), the output power is reduced and the
converter fails to supply the load.
7.4.6 Thermal Shutdown
If the junction temperature rises above TJ(stop), the thermal shutdown is triggered. This disables the power
MOSFET switching. To re-enable the switching of the MOSFET the junction temperature has to fall by TJ(hyst)
below the TJ(stop) where the device moves out of over temperature.
According to the electrical specs, the thermal shutdown threshold can be beyond the device's rated absolute
maximum junction temperature. Thermal shutdown is designed to prevent thermal run away that could result in
catastrophic failure. Prolonged operation above the recommended maximum junction temperature can impact
device lifetime.

8 Application and Implementation
8.1 Application Information
The UCC28880 can be used in various application topologies with direct or isolated feedback. The device can be
used in low-side buck, where the output voltage is negative, or as a low-side buck-boost configuration, where the
output voltage is positive. In both configurations the common reference node is the positive input node (VIN+).
The device can also be configured as a LED driver in either of the above mentioned configurations. If the
application requires the AC-to-DC power supply output to be referenced to the negative input node (VIN-), the
UCC28880 can also be configured as a traditional high-side buck as shown in Figure 19. In this configuration,
the voltage feedback is sampling the output voltage VOUT, making the DC regulation less accurate and load
dependent than in low-side buck configuration, where the feedback is always tracking the VOUT. However, highconversion efficiency can still be obtained.
8.2 Typical Application
8.2.1 12-V, 100-mA Low-Side Buck Converter
Figure 16 shows a typical application example of a non-isolated power supply, where the UCC28880 is
connected in a low-side buck configuration having an output voltage that is negative with respect to the positive
input voltage (VIN+). The output voltage is set to 12 V in this example, but can easily be changed by changing
the value of RFB1. This application can be used for a wide variety of household appliances and automation, or
any other applications where mains isolation is not required.

8.2.1.2.2 Input Stage (RF, D2, D3, C1, C2, L2)
•
•
•
Resistor RF is a flame-proof fusible resistor. RF limits the inrush current, and also provide protection in case
any component failure causes a short circuit. Value for its resistance is generally selected between 4.7 Ω to
15 Ω.
A half-wave rectifier is chosen and implemented by diode D2 (1N4937). It is a general purpose 1-A, 600-V
rated diode. It has a fast reverse recovery time (200 ns) for improved differential-mode-conducted EMI noise
performance. Diode D3 (1N4007) is a general purpose 1-A, 1-kV rated diode with standard reverse recovery
time (>500 ns), and is added for improved common-mode-conducted EMI noise performance. D3 can be
removed and replaced by a short if not needed.
EMI filtering is implemented by using a single differential-stage filter (C1-L2-C2).
Capacitors C1 and C2 in the EMI filter also acts as storage capacitors for the high-voltage input DC voltage
(VIN). The required input capacitor size can be calculated according Equation 2.

Figure 22 RCT = 1 because of a half-wave rectifier).

VBULK(min) is the minimum allowed voltage value across bulk capacitor during converter operation.
fLINE(min) is the minimum line frequency when the line voltage is VIN(min).
The converter input power can be easily calculated as follow:
•
•
The converter maximum output power is: POUT = IOUT x VOUT = 0.1 A x 12.5 V = 1.25 W
Assuming the efficiency η = 68.% the input power is PIN = POUT/η = 1.765 W

VBULK(min) = 80 V
VIN(min) = 85 VRMS (from design specification table)
fLINE(min) = 57 Hz

CBULK(min) = 6.96 μF. Considering that electrolytic capacitors, generally used as bulk capacitor, have 20% of
tolerance in value, the minimum nominal value required for CBULK is:

8.2.1.2.3 Regulator Capacitor (CVDD)

8.2.1.2.4 Freewheeling Diode (D1)
The freewheeling diode has to be rated for high-voltage with as short as possible reverse-recovery time (trr).
The maximum reverse voltage that the diode should experience in the application, during normal operation, is
given by Equation 4.
VD1(max)
2 u VIN(max)
2 u 265V 375V
(4)
A margin of 20% is generally considered.
The use of a fast recovery diode is required for the buck-freewheeling rectifier. When designed in CCM, the
diode reverse recovery time should be less than 35 ns to keep low reverse recovery current and the switching
loss. For example, STTH1R06A provides 25-ns reverse recovery time. When designed in DCM, slower diode can
be used, but the reverse recovery time should be kept less than 75 ns. MURS160 can fit the requirement.
8.2.1.2.5 Output Capacitor (CL)
The value of the output capacitor impacts the output ripple. Depending on the combination of capacitor value and
equivalent series resistor (RESR). A larger capacitor value also has an impact on the start-up time. For a typical
application, the capacitor value can start from 47 μF, to hundreds of μF. A guide for sizing the capacitor value
can be calculated by the following equations:
ILIMIT IOUT
260mA 100mA
CL ! 4 u
4u
30 PF
fSW(max) u 'VOUT
350mV u 66kHz
(5)
RESR
'VOUT
ILIMIT
1:
(6)
Take into account that both CL and RESR contribute to output voltage ripple. A first pass capacitance value can be
selected and the contribution of CL and RESR to the output voltage ripple can be evaluated. If the total ripple is
too high the capacitance value has to increase or RESR value must be reduced. In the application example CL
was selected (47 µF) and it has an RESR of 0.3 Ω. So the RESR contributes for 1/3 of the total ripple. The formula
that calculates CL is based on the assumption that the converter operates in burst of four switching cycles. The
number of bursts per cycle could be different, the formula for CL is a first approximation.
8.2.1.2.6 Load Resistor (RL)
The resistor should be chosen so that the output current in any standby/no-load condition is higher than the
leakage current through the integrated power MOSFET. If the standby load current is ensured to always be
larger than the specified ILEAKAGE, the RL is not needed. If OVP protection is required for safety reasons, then a
zener could be placed across the output (not fitted in the application example). In the application example RL =
402 kΩ. This ensures a minimum load current of at least ~30 µA when VOUT = 12 V.

8.2.1.2.8 Feedback Path (Q1, RFB1, RFB2)
The feedback path of Q1, RFB1 and RFB2 implements a level-shifted direct feedback. RFB2 sets the current
through the feedback path, and RFB1 sets the output voltage. Q1 acts as the level shifter and needs to be rated
for high voltage. The output voltage is determined as follows:
R
VOUT VFB _ TH u FB1 VBE
RFB2
where
•
•
•
•
•
VOUT is the output voltage.
VFB_TH is the FB pin voltage threshold = VFB_TH.
VBE is the base-emitter saturation voltage of the external PNP transistor.
RFB1 is the external resistor setting the output voltage (depending on the current set by RFB2, and the Vbe).
RFB2 is the external resistor setting the current through the external feedback path.
(15)
For the application example a target of ~20-μA of current is selected through the external feedback path (IFB).
VFB _ TH

(16)
Choose a standard resistor size for RFB2 = 51 kΩ. For the high-voltage PNP transistor choose a 500-V rated
transistor with a VBE ≈ 0.5 V for the feedback current. To achieve the 12-V output voltage RFB1 needs to be:
V OUT VBE

u RFB2
u 51 k: 586k:

(17)
Choose a standard resistor size for RFB1 = 591 kΩ.
To change the output voltage, change the value for RFB1. For example, to target a 5-V output voltage, RFB1
should be changed to a 230-kΩ resistor.
Accuracy of the output-voltage level depends proportionally on the variation of VFB_TH, and on the absolute
accuracy of VBE according to Equation 16 and Equation 17.
The current through the feedback path is connected over the high voltage input (VIN), and this feedback current
is always on. Higher current provides less noise-sensitive feedback, the feedback current should be minimized in
order to minimize the total power consumption.

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.2.1 Introduction
The low-side buck converter and high-side buck converter design procedures are very similar.
8.2.2.2.2 Feedback Path (CFB, RFB1 and RFB2) and Load Resistor (RL)
In low-side buck converter the output voltage is always sensed by the FB pin and UCC28880 internal controller
can turn on the MOSFET on VOUT. In high-side buck converter applications the information on the output
voltage value is stored on CFB capacitor. This information is not updated in real time. The information on CFB
capacitor is updated just after MOSFET turn-off event. When the MOSFET is turned off, the inductor current
forces the freewheeling diode (D1 in Figure 19) to turn on and the GND pin of UCC28880 goes negative at -Vd1
(where Vd1 is the forward drop voltage of diode D1) with respect to the negative terminal of bulk capacitor (C1 in
Figure 19). When D1 is on, through diode D4, the CFB capacitor is charged at VOUT – Vd4 + Vd1. Set the output
voltage regulation level using Equation 18.

VFB_TH is the FB pin reference voltage.
VOUT_T is the target output voltage.
RFB1, RFB2 is the resistance of the resistor divider connected with FB pin (see Figure 19)
The capacitor CFB after D1 is discharged with a time constant that is τfb = CFB x (RFB1 + RFB2 ).
Select the time constant τFB, given in Equation 19

(19)
The time constant selection leads to a slight output-voltage increase in no-load or light-load conditions. In order
to reduce the output-voltage increase, increase τFB. The drawback of increasing τFB is t in high-load conditions
VOUT could drop.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The VDD capacitor recommended value is 100 nF to ensure high-phase margin of the internal 5-V regulator and
it should be placed close to VDD pin and GND pins to minimize the series resistance and inductance.
The VDD pin provides a regulated 5-V output but it is not intended as a supply for external load. Do not supply
VDD pin with external voltage source (for example the auxiliary winding of flyback converter).
Always keep GND pin 1 and GND pin 2 connected together with the shortest possible connection.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
•
•
In both buck and buck-boost low-side configurations, the copper area of the switching node DRAIN should be
minimized to reduce EMI.
Similarly, the copper area of the FB pin should be minimized to reduce coupling to feedback path. Loop CL,
Q1, RFB1 should be minimized to reduce coupling to feedback path.
In high-side buck and buck boost the GND, VDD and FB pins are all part of the switching node so the copper
area connected with these pins should be optimized. Large copper area allows better thermal management,
but it causes more common mode EMI noise. Use the minimum copper area that is required to handle the
thermal dissipation.
Minimum distance between 700-V coated traces is 1.41 mm (60 mils).
