DESCRIPTION
The UTC UC1108 is a primary control unit for switch mode charger
and adapter applications. The controlled variable is transferred by an
auxiliary winding from the secondary to the primary side. The device
uses Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) method to build
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback power supplies.
The UTC UC1108 operates in primary-side sensing and regulation.
Opto-coupler and TL431 could be eliminated. It also eliminates the
need of loop compensation circuitry while maintaining stability. The
UC1108 achieves excellent regulation and high average efficiency, yet
meets the requirement for no-load consumption less than 30mW.
The UTC UC1108 has the built-in programmable cable voltage
drop compensation function, which make it flexible to accommodate
various cables with different gauges and lengths
The UTC UC1108 achieves high precision CV/CC regulation and
high power efficiency. It offers comprehensive protection coverage
with auto-recovery features including Cycle-by-cycle current limiting,
output over voltage protection, feedback loop open protection, short
circuit protection, leading edge blanking, VCC under voltage lockout,
etc.

OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The UTC UC1108 is a primary control unit for switch mode charger and adapter applications. It operates in
primary-side sensing and regulation. Opto-coupler and TL431 could be eliminated. Proprietary built-in CV and CC
control can achieve high precision CV/CC performance. It uses Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) method to build
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback power supplies.
Startup control
The voltage regulator provides the internal power supply VDD. For VCC and VDD external capacitors are required.
The current biasing of UTC UC1108 is adjustable by an external resistor. Internal time constants, thresholds and the
output current depend from the value of this resistor. The startup circuit activates the IC after startup and deactivates
the IC in case of UVLO.
Operating Current
The Operating current of UTC UC1108 is as low as 400uA. Good efficiency and very low standby power can be
achieved.
Constant Voltage Operation
The output voltage is defined by the transmission ratio between the secondary and auxiliary winding. The UTC
UC1108 captures the auxiliary winding feedback voltage at FB pin and operates in constant-voltage (CV) mode to
regulate the output voltage. The auxiliary voltage reflects the output voltage is given by:
N
VAUX = A × ( VO + ∆V )
(1)
NS
Where△V indicates the drop voltage of the output diode.
Figure2. Auxiliary voltage waveform
Via a resistor divider connected between the auxiliary winding and FB, the VAUX is sampled at the Tsampling end
and it is hold until the next sampling. The sampled voltage is compared with 4V reference voltage and the error is
amplified. The error amplifier output reflects the load condition and controls the Toff time to regulate the output
voltage, thus constant output voltage can be achieved.

OPERATION DESCRIPTION (Cont.)
Constant Current Operation
When the sampled voltage is below 4V reference voltage and the error amplifier output reaches its maximum,
thus UTC UC1108 operates in constant-current (CC) mode. The CC point and maximum output power can be
externally adjusted by external current sense resistor Rcs. The larger Rcs, the smaller CC point is, and the smaller
output power becomes.
Figure3. Adjustable output power by changing Rcs
Figure4. Secondary current waveform
In CC operation, the CC loop control function of UTC UC1108 will keep a fixed proportion between secondary
inductance de-magnetization time (Tdemag) and switching cycle time (Tsw). The fixed proportion is
Tdemag 4
=

Thus the output current is given by:

Current Sensing and Leading Edge Blanking
Cycle-by-cycle current limiting is offered in UTC UC1108. The switch current is detected by a sense resistor into
the CS pin. When the power switch is turned on, a turn-on spike will occur on this resistor. A 500ns leading-edge
blanking is built in to avoid false-termination of the switching pulse so that the external RC filtering is no longer
needed.
Drive BJT
The driver is a push pull stage with the supply voltage VCC. It provides the driving current for the external power
bipolar transistor. The output signal is current-limited to IOUT(SOURCE).

OPERATION DESCRIPTION (Cont.)
Output Cable Compensation
The UTC UC1108 senses the auxiliary winding feedback voltage at FB pin and operates in constant-voltage (CV)
mode to regulate the output voltage. In CV mode, FB pin voltage VFB is a constant of 4.0V. The CPR pin voltage
VCPR is generated by the internal circuit of UTC UC1108. It linearly decreases with the rise of the output load directly.
Where Dons is the duty cycle of secondary diode, and is equal to Tdemag/Tsw, which is directly proportional to the
output loading. The maximum Dtdemag is 4/7 and the minimal Dtdemag is close to zero in CV mode of UTC
UC1108.
Protection Control
Good power supply system reliability is achieved with its comprehensive protection features including output
over-voltage protection, feedback loop open protection, Cycle-by-cycle current limiting, short circuit protection,
leading edge blanking and UVLO, etc.
VCC is supplied by transformer auxiliary winding output. The output of UTC UC1108 is shutdown when VCC drops
below VTH(OFF) and the power converter enters power on start-up sequence thereafter.
