UCC1810 UCC2810 UCC3810 Dual Channel Synchronized Current Mode PWM FEATURES DESCRIPTION • Single Oscillator Synchronizes Two PWMs The UCC3810 is a high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuit which implements two synchronized pulse width modulators for use in off-line and DC-to-DC power supplies. • 150 A Startup Supply Current • 2mA Operating Supply Current • Operation to 1MHz • Internal Soft Start • Full-Cycle Fault Restart • Internal Leading Edge Blanking of the Current Sense Signal • 1 Amp Totem Pole Outputs • 75ns Typical Response from Current Sense to Output • 1.5% Tolerance Voltage Reference The UCC3810 provides perfect synchronization between two PWMs by using the same oscillator. The oscillator’s sawtooth waveform can be used for slope compensation if required. Using a toggle flip flop to alternate between modulators, the UCC3810 ensures that one PWM will not slave, interfere, or otherwise affect the other PWM. This toggle flip flop also ensures that each PWM will be limited to 50% maximum duty cycle, insuring adequate off-time to reset magnetic elements. This IC contains many of the same elements of the UC3842 current mode controller family, combined with the enhancements of the UCC3802. This minimizes power supply parts count. Enhancements include leading edge blanking of the current sense signals, full cycle fault restart, CMOS output drivers, and outputs which remain low even when the supply voltage is removed.

Note 6: Current Sense Gain A is defined by: A= 3 V UCC1810 UCC2810 UCC3810 PIN DESCRIPTIONS COMP1, COMP2: The low impedance outputs of the error amplifiers. PWRGND: To separate noise from the critical control circuits, this part has two different ground connections: GND and PWRGND. GND and PWRGND must be electrically connected together. CS1, CS2: The current sense inputs to the PWM comparators. These inputs have leading edge blanking. For most applications, no input filtering is required. Leading edge blanking disconnects the CS inputs from all internal circuits for the first 55ns of each PWM cycle. When used with very slow diodes or in other applications where the current sense signal is unusually noisy, a small current sense RC filter may be required. REF: The output of the 5V reference. Bypass REF to GND with a ceramic capacitor ≥0.01µF for best performance. RT: The oscillator charging current is set by the value of the resistor connected from RT to GND. This pin is regulated to 1V, but the actual charging current is 10V/RT. Recommended values of RT are between 10k and 470k. For a given frequency, higher timing resistors give higher maximum duty cycle and slightly lower overall power consumption. Supply current decreases with increased RT by the relationship: CT: The timing capacitor of the oscillator. Recommended values of CT are between 100pF and 1nF. Connect the timing capacitor directly across CT and GND. ENABLE2: A logic input which disables PWM 2 when low. This input has no effect on PWM 1. This input is internally pulled high. In most applications it can be left floating. In unusually noisy applications, the input should be bypassed with a 1nF ceramic capacitor. This input has TTL compatible thresholds. ∆ICC = 11V RT For more information, see the detailed oscillator block diagram. FB1, FB2: The high impedance inverting inputs of the error amplifiers. SYNC: This logic input can be used to synchronize the oscillator to a free running oscillator in another part. This pin is edge triggered with TTL thresholds, and requires at least a 10ns wide pulse. If unused, this pin can be grounded, open circuited, or connected to REF. GND: To separate noise from the critical control circuits, this part has two different ground connections: GND and PWRGND. GND and PWRGND must be electrically connected together. However, use care to avoid coupling noise into GND. VCC: The power input to the IC. This pin supplies current to all functions including the high current output stages and the precision reference. Therefore, it is critical that VCC be directly bypassed to PWRGND with an 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. OUT1, OUT2: The high current push-pull outputs of the PWM are intended to drive power MOSFET gates through a small resistor. This resistor acts as both a current limiting resistor and as a damping impedance to minimize ringing and overshoot. APPLICATION INFORMATION Leading Edge Blanking and Current Sense The UCC3810 features internal leading edge blanking of the current sense signal on both current sense inputs. The blank time starts when OUT rises and continues for 55ns. During that 55ns period, the signal on CS is ignored. For most PWM applications, this means that the CS input can be connected to the current sense resistor as shown above. However, high speed grounding practices and short lead lengths are still required for good performance. Figure 1. shows how an external power stage is connected to the UCC3810. The gate of an external power N-channel MOSFET is connected to OUT through a small current limiting resistor. For most applications, a 10Ω resistor is adequate to limit peak current and also practical at damping resonances between the gate driver and the MOSFET input reactance. Long gate lead length increases gate capacitance and mandates a higher series gate resistor to damp the RLC tank formed by the lead, the MOSFET input reactance, and the UCC3810 driver output resistance. 4 UCC1810 UCC2810 UCC3810 APPLICATION INFORMATION (cont.) Figure 1. Detailed block diagram. Oscillator maximum duty cycle is only a function of the timing resistor RT and the internal 100Ω discharge resistance. The UCC3810 oscillator generates a sawtooth wave at CT. The sawtooth rise time is set by the resistor from RT to GND. Since RT is biased at 1V, the current in RT is 1V/RT. The actual charging current is 10 times higher. The fall time is set by an internal transistor on-resistance of approximately 100Ω. During the fall time, all outputs are off and the maximum duty cycle is reduced below 50%. Larger timing capacitors increase the discharge time and reduce frequency. However, the percentage Error Amp Output Stage The UCC3810 error amplifiers are operational amplifiers with low output resistance and high input resistance. The output stage of one error amplifier is shown above. This output stage allows the error amplifier output to swing close to GND and as high as one diode drop below 5V with little loss in amplifier performance. Figure 2. Oscillator. Figure 3.
