Wide 100-VDC to 400-VDC Allowable Input

Output
Output Sinks 200 mA, Sources 150 mA Into a
MOSFET Gate
Uses Low-Cost SMD Inductors
Short Circuit Protected
Optional Isolation Capability
The UCC3888 controller is optimized for use as an
off-line, low-power, low-voltage, regulated bias
supply. The unique circuit topology utilized in this
device can be visualized as two cascaded flyback
converters, each operating in the discontinuous
mode, both driven from a single external power
switch. The significant benefit of this approach is the
ability to achieve voltage conversion ratios as high
as 400 V to 2.7 V with no transformer and low
internal losses.
The control algorithm utilized by the UCC3888 sets
the switch on time inversely proportional to the input
line voltage and sets the switch off time inversely
proportional to the output voltage. This action is
automatically controlled by an internal feedback loop
and reference. The cascaded configuration allows a
voltage conversion from 400 V to 2.7 V to be
achieved with a switch duty cycle of 7.6%. This
topology also offers inherent short circuit protection
because as the output voltage falls to zero, the
switch-off time approaches infinity.
The output voltage is set internally to 5 V. It can be
programmed for other output voltages with two
external resistors. An isolated version can be
achieved with this topology as described further in
Unitrode Application Note U-149.

THEORY OF OPERATION
With reference to the application diagram below, when input voltage is first applied, the current through RON into
TON is directed to VCC where it charges the external capacitor, C3, connected to VCC. As voltage builds on VCC,
an internal undervoltage lockout holds the circuit off and the output at DRIVE low until VCC reaches 8.4 V. At this
time, DRIVE goes high, turning on the power switch, Q1, and redirecting the current into TON to the timing
capacitor, CT. CT charges to a fixed threshold with a current ICHG = 0.8 • (VIN – 4.5 V)/RON. Because DRIVE is
high only as long as CT charges, the power switch on time will be inversely proportional to line voltage. This
provides a constant (line voltage) • (switch on time) product.
At the end of the on time, Q1 is turned off, and the current through RON is again diverted to VCC. Thus the
current through RON, which charges CT during the on time, contributes to supplying power to the chip during the
off time.
The power switch off time is controlled by the discharge of CT, which, in turn, is programmed by the regulated
output voltage. The relationship between CT discharge current, IDCHG, and output voltage is illustrated as follows:
Region 1. When VOUT = 0, the off time is infinite. This feature provides inherent short circuit protection. However,
to ensure output voltage startup when the output is not a short, a high-value resistor, RS, is placed in parallel
with CT to establish a minimum switching frequency.
Region 2. As VOUT rises above approximately 0.7 V to its regulated value, IDCHG is defined by ROFF, and is equal
to:
IDCHG = (VOUT– 0.7V) / ROFF
As VOUT increases, IDCHG increases reducing off time. The operating frequency increases and VOUT rises quickly
to its regulated value.
Region 3. In this region, a transconductance amplifier reduces IDCHG to maintain a regulated VOUT.
Region 4. If VOUT should rise above its regulation range, IDCHG falls to zero and the circuit returns to the
minimum frequency established by RS and CT.
The range of switching frequencies is established by RON, ROFF, RS, and CT as follows:
Frequency = 1/(TON + TOFF)
TON = RON• CT• 4.6 V/(VIN – 4.5 V)
TOFF (max) = 1.4 • RS• CT Regions 1 and 4
TOFF = ROFF• CT• 3.7 V/(VOUT – 0.7 V) Region 2, excluding the effects of RS, which have a minimal impact
on TOFF.
The above equations assume that VCC equals 9 V. The voltage at TON increases from approximately 2.5 V to
6.5 V while CT is charging. To take this into account, VIN is adjusted by 4.5 V in the calculation of TON. The
voltage at TOFF is approximately 0.7 V.

DESIGN EXAMPLE
The UCC3888 regulates a 5 volt, 1 Watt nonisolated DC output from AC inputs between 80 and 265 volts. In this
example, the IC is programmed to deliver a maximum on time gate drive pulse width of 2.2 microseconds which
occurs at 80 VAC. The corresponding switching frequency is approximately 100 kHz at low line, and overall
efficiency is approximately 50%. Additional design information is available in Unitrode Application Note U-149.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
ADJ: The ADJ pin is used to provide a 5-V regulated supply without additional external components. Other
output voltages can be obtained by connecting a resistor divider between VOUT, ADJ and GND. Use the formula:
VOUT = 2.5 V ·
R1 + R2
R2
where R1 is connected between VOUT and ADJ, and R2 is connected between ADJ and GND. R1 R2 should
be less than 1 kΩ to minimize the effect of the temperature coefficient of the internal 30-kΩ resistors, which also
connect to VOUT, ADJ, and GND. See Figure 1.
CT (timing capacitor): The signal voltage at CT has a peak-to-peak swing of 3.7 V for 9 V VCC. As the voltage
at CT crosses the oscillator upper threshold, DRIVE goes low. As the voltage on CT crosses the oscillator lower
threshold, DRIVE goes high.
DRIVE: This output is a CMOS stage capable of sinking 200 mA peak and sourcing 150 mA peak. The output
voltage swing is 0 to VCC.
GND (chip ground): All voltages are measured with respect to GND.
TOFF (regulated output control): TOFF sets the discharge current of the timing capacitor through an external
resistor connected between VOUT and TOFF.
TON (line voltage control): TON serves three functions. When CT is discharging (off time), the current through
TON is routed to VCC. When CT is charging (on time), the current through TON is split 80% to set the CT charge
time and 20% to sense minimum line voltage, which occurs for a TON current of 220 µA. For a minimum line
voltage of 80 V, RON is 330 kΩ.
The CT voltage slightly affects the value of the charge current during the on time. During this time, the voltage at
the TON pin increases from 2.5 V to 6.5 V.
VCC (chip supply voltage): The supply voltage of the device at pin VCC is internally clamped at 9 V. The device
needs an external supply, from a source such as the rectified ac line or derived from the switching circuit.
Precautions must be taken to ensure that total ICC does not exceed 8 mA.
VOUT (regulated output): The VOUT pin is directly connected to the power supply output voltage. When VOUT is
greater than VCC, VOUT bootstraps VCC.
