nd
Stage Down
The UCC18500 family provides all of the functions necessary for an active power factor corrected preregulator and a second stage DC-to-DC
converter. The controller achieves near-unity power factor by shaping
the AC input line current waveform to correspond to the AC input line
voltage using average current mode control. The DC-to-DC converter
uses peak current mode control to perform the step down power conversion.
• Controls Boost PWM to Near-unity Power
Factor
• Accurate Power Limiting
• Average Current Mode Control in PFC
Stage
The PFC stage is leading edge modulated while the second stage is
trailing edge synchronized to allow for minimum overlap between the
boost and PWM switches. This reduces ripple current in the bulk output
capacitor.
• Peak Current Mode Control in Second
Stage
• Programmable Oscillator
In order to operate with a three to one range of input line voltages, a
line feedforward (VFF) in used to keep input power constant with varying input voltage. Generation of VFF is done using IAC in conjunction
with an external single pole filter. This not only reduces external parts
count, but avoids the use of high voltage components offering a lower
cost solution. The multiplier then divides the line current by the square
of VFF.

DESCRIPTION (cont.)
The UCC18500 PFC section incorporates a low offset
voltage amplifier with 7.5V reference, a highly linear multiplier capable of a wide current range, a high bandwidth,
low offset current amplifier, with a novel noise attenuation
configuration, PWM comparator and latch and a high current output driver. Additional PFC features include
over-voltage protection, zero power detection to turn-off
the output when VAOUT is below 0.25V and peak current
and power limiting.
ating range with selectable options, and 50% maximum
duty cycle.
The UCC38500 and UCC38502 have a wide PFC-UVLO
threshold (16.5V/10V) for bootstrap bias supply operation. The UCC38501 and UCC38503 are designed with a
narrow UVLO range (10.5V/10V) more suitable for fixed
bias operation. The UCC38500 and UCC38501 have a
narrow UVLO threshold for PWM stage (to allow operation down to 75% of nominal bulk voltage), while the
UCC38502 and UCC38503 are configured for a much
wider operation range for the PWM stage (down to 50%
of bulk nominal voltage).
The DC-to-DC section relies on an error signal generated
on secondary-side and processes it by performing peak
current mode control. The DC-to-DC section also features current limiting, a controlled soft-start, preset oper-

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
CAOUT: (current amplifier output) This is the output of a
wide bandwidth op amp that senses line current and
commands the PFC pulse width modulator (PWM) to
force the correct current. This output can swing close to
GND, allowing the PWM to force zero duty cycle when
necessary.
IMO =
K • VFF 2
Connect current loop compensation components between MOUT and CAOUT.
OVP/ENBL: (over-voltage/enable) A window comparator
input which will disable the PFC output driver if the boost
output is 6.67% above nominal or will disable both the
PFC and second stage output drivers and reset SS2 if
pulled below 1.5V. This input is also used to determine
the active range of the second stage PWM.
CT: (Oscillator timing capacitor) A capacitor from CT to
GND will set the oscillator frequency according to:
f=
(VAOUT − 1.0) • I AC
0 .725
(RT • CT )
GND: (ground) All voltages measured with respect to
ground. VCC and VREF should be bypassed directly to
GND with a 0.1µF or larger ceramic capacitor. The timing
capacitor discharge current also returns to this pin, so
the lead from the oscillator timing capacitor to GND
should be as short and direct as possible.
PKLMT: (PFC peak current limit) The threshold for peak
limit is 0V. Use a resistor divider from the negative side of
the current sense resistor to VREF to level-shift this signal to a voltage corresponding to the desired overcurrent
threshold across the current sense resistor.
PWRGND: Ground for totem pole output drivers.
GT1: (gate drive) The output drive for the PFC stage is a
totem pole MOSFET gate driver on GT1. Use a series
gate resistor of at least 5 ohms to prevent interaction between the gate impedance and the GT1 output driver that
might cause the GT1 to overshoot excessively. Some
overshoot of the GT1 output is always expected when
driving a capacitive load.
RT: (oscillator charging current) A resistor from RT to
GND is used to program oscillator charging current. A resistor between 10kΩ and 100kΩ is recommended.
SS2: (soft start for PWM) SS2 is at ground for either enable low or OVP/ENBL below the UVLO2 threshold
conditions. When enabled, SS2 will charge an external
capacitor with a current source. This voltage will be used
as the voltage error signal during start-up, enabling the
PWM duty cycle to increase slowly. In the event of a disable command or a UVLO2 dropout, SS2 will quickly
discharge to disable the PWM.
GT2: (gate drive) Same as output GT1 for the second
stage output drive. Limited to 50% maximum duty cycle.
IAC: (input ac current) This input to the analog multiplier
is a current. The multiplier is tailored for very low distortion from this current input (IAC) to MOUT, so this is the
only multiplier input which should be used for sensing instantaneous line voltage. Recommended maximum IAC is
500µA.
VAOUT: (voltage amplifier output) This is the output of
the opamp that regulates output voltage. The voltage amplifier output is internally limited to approximately 5.5V to
prevent overshoot.
ISENSE1: (current sense) This is the non-inverting input
to the current amplifier. This input and the inverting input
MOUT remain functional down to and below GND.
VCC: (positive supply voltage) Connect to a stable
source of at least 20mA between 12V and 17V for normal operation. Bypass VCC directly to GND to absorb
supply current spikes required to charge external
MOSFET gate capacitances. To prevent inadequate Gate
Drive signals, the output devices will be inhibited unless
VCC exceeds the upper under-voltage lockout threshold
and remains above the lower threshold.
ISENSE2: (current sense) A resistor from the source of
the lower FET to ground generates the input signal for
the peak limit control of the second stage. The oscillator
ramp can also be summed into this pin, for slope compensation.
MOUT: (multiplier output and current sense amplifier inverting input) The output of the analog multiplier and the
inverting input of the current amplifier are connected together at MOUT. As the multiplier output is a current, this
is a high impedance input so the amplifier can be configured as a differential amplifier to reject ground noise.
Multiplier output current is given by:
VERR: Voltage amp error signal for the second stage.
The error signal is generated by an external amplifier
which drives this pin.
VFF: (RMS feed forward signal) VFF signal generated at
this pin by mirroring Iac into a single pole external filter.

VREF: (voltage reference output) VREF is the output of
an accurate 7.5V voltage reference. This output is capable of delivering 10mA to peripheral circuitry and is internally short circuit current limited. VREF is disabled and
will remain at 0V when VCC is below the UVLO threshold. Bypass VREF to GND with a 0.1µF or larger ceramic
capacitor for best stability.
VSENSE: (voltage amplifier inverting input) This is normally connected to a compensation network and to the
boost converter output through a divider network.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The UCC38500 is designed to incorporate all the control
functions required for a power factor correction circuit
and a second stage dc-dc converter. The PFC function
is implemented as a full feature, average current mode
controller Integrated Circuit for excellent performance. In
addition, the input voltage feedforward function is implemented in a simplified manner. Current from IAC is mirrored over to the VFF pin. By simply adding a resistor
and capacitor (to attenuate 120Hz ripple) a voltage is developed which is proportional to line voltage. This eliminates several components normally connected to the
line.
One of the main system challenges in designing systems
with a PFC front end is coordinating the turn-on and
turn-off on the dc-dc converter. If the dc-dc converter is
allowed to turn on before the boost converter is operational, it must operate at a much-reduced voltage and
therefore can represent a large current draw to the boost
converter. This start-up sequencing is handled internally
by the UCC38500. The UCC38500 monitors the output
voltage of the PFC converter and holds the dc-dc converter off until the output is within 10% of its regulation
point. Once the trip point is reached the dc-dc section
goes through a soft start sequence for a controlled, low
stress start-up. Similarly if the output voltage drops too
low (2 voltage options are available) the dc-dc converter
shuts down thereby preventing overstress of the converter.
The UCC38500 uses leading edge modulation for the
PFC stage and trailing edge modulation for the dc-dc
stage. This reduces ripple current in the output capacitor
by reducing the overlap in conduction time of the PFC
and dc-dc switches. In addition to the reduced ripple current, noise immunity is improved through the current error amplifier implementation.
Design details of the PFC section can be found in several
references shown below.
• UCC3817 data sheet
The UCC38500 is optimized to control a boost PFC
stage operating in continuous conduction mode, followed
by a dc-dc converter (typically a forward topology). It is
usual that the dc-dc converter is transformer isolated and
therefore its error amplifier will be located on the secondary side. The UCC38500 is configured without an internal error amplifier. The externally generated error signal
is fed into the VERR pin.
• High Power Factor Preregulator for Off-Line Power
Supplies, SEM-800
• Optimizing the Design of a High Power Factor
Switching Regulator, SEM-800
A design example for a 2 switch forward converter can be
found in:
• 250W Off-Line Forward Converter Design Review,
SEM-500
The UCC38500 can be configured for voltage mode or
current mode control of the second stage. The application figure shows a typical current mode configuration.
For voltage mode control the ramp generated by CT is
simply fed into the ISENSE2 pin.
