Single Ended Active Clamp/Reset PWM
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• Provides Auxiliary Switch Activation
Complementary to Main Power
Switch Drive
The UCC3580 family of PWM controllers is designed to implement a variety
of active clamp/reset and synchronous rectifier switching converter topologies. While containing all the necessary functions for fixed frequency, high
performance pulse width modulation, the additional feature of this design is
the inclusion of an auxiliary switch driver which complements the main
power switch, and with a programmable deadtime or delay between each
transition. The active clamp/reset technique allows operation of single
ended converters beyond 50% duty cycle while reducing voltage stresses
on the switches, and allows a greater flux swing for the power transformer.
This approach also allows a reduction in switching losses by recovering energy stored in parasitic elements such as leakage inductance and switch
capacitance.
• Programmable deadtime (Turn-on
Delay) Between Activation of Each
Switch
• Voltage Mode Control with
Feedforward Operation
• Programmable Limits for Both
Transformer Volt- Second Product
and PWM Duty Cycle
• High Current Gate Driver for Both
Main and Auxiliary Outputs
• Multiple Protection Features with
Latched Shutdown and Soft Restart
The oscillator is programmed with two resistors and a capacitor to set
switching frequency and maximum duty cycle. A separate synchronized
ramp provides a voltage feedforward pulse width modulation and a programmed maximum volt-second limit. The generated clock from the oscillator contains both frequency and maximum duty cycle information.

DESCRIPTION (cont.)
The main gate drive output (OUT1) is controlled by the
pulse width modulator. The second output (OUT2) is intended to activate an auxiliary switch during the off time
of the main switch, except that between each transition
there is deadtime where both switches are off, programmed by a single external resistor. This design offers
two options for OUT2, normal and inverted. In the -1 and
-2 versions, OUT2 is normal and can be used to drive
PMOS FETs. In the -3 and -4 versions, OUT2 is inverted
and can be used to drive NMOS FETs. In all versions,
both the main and auxiliary switches are held off prior to
startup and when the PWM command goes to zero duty
cycle. During fault conditions, OUT1 is held off while
OUT2 operates at maximum duty cycle with a guaranteed off time equal to the sum of the two deadtimes.
Undervoltage lockout monitors supply voltage (VDD), the
precision reference (REF), input line voltage (LINE), and
the shutdown comparator (SHTDWN). If after any of
these four have sensed a fault condition, recovery to full
operation is initiated with a soft start. VDD thresholds, on
and off, are 15V and 8.5V for the -2 and -4 versions, 9V
and 8.5V for the -1 and -3 versions.
The UCC1580-x is specified for operation over the military temperature range of −55°C to 125°C. The
UCC2580-x is specified from −40°C to 85°C. The
UCC3580-x is specified from 0°C to 70°C. Package options include 16-pin surface mount or dual in-line, and
20-pin plastic leadless chip carrier.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
CLK: Oscillator clock output pin from a low impedance
CMOS driver. CLK is high during guaranteed off time.
CLK can be used to synchronized up to five other
UCC3580 PWMs.
Maximum Duty Cycle =
Maximum Duty Cycle for OUT1 will be slightly less due to
Delay1 which is programmed by R3.
DELAY: A resistor from DELAY to GND programs the
nonoverlap delay between OUT1 and OUT2. The delay
times, Delay1 and Delay2, are shown in Figure 1 and are
as follows:
OUT1: Gate drive output for the main switch capable of
sourcing up to 0.5A and sinking 1A.
OUT2: Gate drive output for the auxiliary switch with
± 0.3A drive current capability.
Delay 1 = 11
. pF • R 3
PGND: Ground connection for the gate drivers. Connect
PGND to GND at a single point so that no high frequency
components of the output switching currents are in the
ground plane on the circuit board.
Delay2 is designed to be larger than Delay1 by a ratio
shown in Figure 2.
EAIN: Inverting input to the error amplifier. The
noninverting input of the error amplifier is internally set to
2.5V. EAIN is used for feedback and loop compensation.
RAMP: A resistor (R4) from RAMP to the input voltage
and a capacitor (CR) from RAMP to GND programs the
feedforward ramp signal. RAMP is discharged to GND
when CLK is high and allowed to charge when CLK is
low. RAMP is the line feedforward sawtooth signal for the
PWM comparator. Assuming the input voltage is much
greater than 3.3V, the ramp is very linear. A flux
comparator compares the ramp signal to 3.3V to limit the
maximum allowable volt-second product:
EAOUT: Output of the error amplifier and input to the
PWM comparator. Loop compensation components
connect from EAOUT to EAIN.
GND: Signal Ground.
LINE: Hysteretic comparator input. Thresholds are 5.0V
and 4.5V. Used to sense input line voltage and turn off
OUT1 when the line is low.
Volt-Second Product Clamp = 3.3 • R4 • CR.
OSC1 & OSC2: Oscillator programming pins. A resistor
connects each pin to a timing capacitor. The resistor
connected to OSC1 sets maximum on time. The resistor
connected to OSC2 controls guaranteed off time. The
combined total sets frequency with the timing capacitor.
Frequency and maximum duty cycle are approximately
given by:
Frequency =
R1
R1 + 1.25 • R2
REF: Precision 5.0V reference pin. REF can supply up to
5mA to external circuits. REF is off until VDD exceeds 9V
(–1 and –3 versions) or activates the 15V clamp (–2 and
–4 versions) and turns off again when VDD droops below
8.5V. Bypass REF to GND with a 1µF capacitor.
SHTDWN: Comparator input to stop the chip. The
threshold is 0.5V. When the chip is stopped, OUT1 is low
and OUT2 continues to oscillate with guaranteed off time
equal to two non-overlap delay times.

shunt clamp from VDD to GND limits the supply voltage
to 15V. The –2 and –4 versions do not start until the
shunt clamp threshold is reached and operation continues as long as VDD is greater than 8.5V.
SS: A capacitor from SS to ground programs the soft
start time. During soft start, EAOUT follows the amplitude
of SS’s slowly increasing waveform until regulation is
achieved.

this clamp must be activated as an indication of reaching
the UVLO on threshold. The internal reference (REF) is
brought up when the UVLO on threshold is crossed. The
startup logic ensures that LINE and REF are above and
SHTDWN is below their respective thresholds before
outputs are asserted. LINE input is useful for monitoring
actual input voltage and shutting off the IC if it falls below a programmed value. A resistive divider should be
used to connect the input voltage to the LINE input. This
feature can protect the power supply from excessive
currents at low line voltages.
UVLO and Startup
For self biased off-line applications, -2 and -4 versions
(UVLO on and off thresholds of 15V and 8.5V typical)
are recommended. For all other applications, -1 and -3
versions provide the lower on threshold of 9V. The IC requires a low startup current of only 160µA when VDD is
under the UVLO threshold, enabling use of a large trickle
charge resistor (with corresponding low power dissipation) from the input voltage. VDD has an internal clamp
at 15V which can sink up to 10mA. Measures should be
taken not to exceed this current. For -2 and -4 versions,

The soft start pin provides an effective means to start
the IC in a controlled manner. An internal current of
20µA begins charging a capacitor connected to SS once
the startup conditions listed above have been met. The
voltage on SS effectively controls maximum duty cycle
on OUT1 during the charging period. OUT2 is also controlled during this period (see Figure 1). Negation of any
of the startup conditions causes SS to be immediately
discharged. Internal circuitry ensures full discharge of
SS (to 0.3V) before allowing charging to begin again,
provided all the startup conditions are again met.

Voltage Feedforward and Volt-Second Clamp
UCC3580 has a provision for input voltage feedforward.
As shown in Figure 3, the ramp slope is made proportional to input line voltage by converting it into a charging
current for CR. This provides a first order cancellation of
the effects of line voltage changes on converter performance. The maximum volt-second clamp is provided to
protect against transient saturation of the transformer
core. It terminates the OUT1 pulse when the RAMP voltage exceeds 3.3V. If the feedforward feature is not used,
the ramp can be generated by tying R4 to REF. However,
the linearity of ramp suffers and in this case the maximum volt-second clamp is no longer available.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (cont.)
single pin is used to program the delays between OUT1
and OUT2 on both sets of edges. Figure 1 shows the relationships between the outputs. Figure 2 gives the ratio
between the two delays. During the transition from main
to auxiliary switch, the delay is not very critical for ZVS
turn-on. For the first half of OUT1 off-time, the body diode of the auxiliary switch conducts and OUT2 can be
turned on any time. The transition from auxiliary to main
switch is more critical. Energy stored in the parasitic inductance(s) at the end of the OUT2 pulse is used to discharge the parasitic capacitance across the main switch
during the delay time. The delay (Delay 1) should be optimally programmed at 1/4 the resonant period determined by parasitic capacitance and the resonant
inductor (transformer leakage and/or magnetizing inductances, depending on the topology). However, depending on other circuit parasitics, the resonant behavior can
change, and in some cases, ZVS turn-on may not be obtainable. It can be shown that the optimum delay time is
independent of operating conditions for a specific circuit
and should be determined specifically for each circuit.
Output Configurations
The UCC3580 family of ICs is designed to provide control functions for single ended active clamp circuits. For
different implementations of the active clamp approach,
different drive waveforms for the two switches (main and
auxiliary) are required. The -3 and -4 versions of the IC
supply complementary non-overlapping waveforms
(OUT1 and OUT2) with programmable delay which can
be used to drive the main and auxiliary switches. Most
active clamp configurations will require one of these outputs to be transformer coupled to drive a floating switch
(e.g. Figure 5). The -1 and -2 versions have the phase of
OUT2 inverted to give overlapping waveforms. This configuration is suitable for capacity coupled driving of a
ground referenced p-channel auxiliary switch with the
OUT2 drive while OUT1 is directly driving an n-channel
main switch (e.g. Figure 4).
The programmable delay can be judiciously used to get
zero voltage turn-on of both the main and auxiliary
switches in the active clamp circuits. For the UCC3580, a
