DESCRIPTION
Optimized for consumer applications concerned with audible noise elimination, this solution extends the
advantages of transition mode – high efficiency with low-cost components – to higher power ratings than
previously possible. By utilizing a Natural Interleaving™ technique, both channels operate as masters (that is,
there is no slave channel) synchronized to the same frequency. This approach delivers inherently strong
matching, faster responses, and ensures that each channel operates in transition mode.
Expanded system level protections feature input brownout and dropout recovery, output over-voltage, open-loop,
overload, soft-start, phase-fail detection, and thermal shutdown. The additional FailSafe over-voltage protection
(OVP) feature protects against shorts to an intermediate voltage that, if undetected, could lead to catastrophic
device failure. Advanced non-linear gain results in rapid, yet smoother response to line and load transient events.
Reduced bias currents improve stand-by power efficiency. Special line-dropout handling avoids significant current
disruption and minimizes audible-noise generation.
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only and functional operation of the device at these or any other condition beyond those included under Recommended Operating
Conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods of time may affect device reliability.
(2) Voltage on VCC is internally clamped. VCC may exceed the continuous absolute maximum input voltage rating if the source is current
limited below the absolute maximum continuous VCC input current level.
(3) In normal use, COMP is connected to capacitors and resistors and is internally limited in voltage swing.
(4) In normal use, VINAC, VSENSE, and HVSEN are connected to high-value resistors and are internally limited in negative-voltage swing.
Although not recommended for extended use, VINAC, VSENSE, and HVSEN can survive input currents as high as -10mA from negative
voltage sources, and input currents as high as +0.5mA from positive voltage sources.
(5) In normal use, CS is connected to a series resistor to limit peak input current during brief system line-inrush conditions. In these
situations, negative voltage on CS may exceed the continuous absolute maximum rating.
(6) No GDA or GDB current limiting is required when driving a power MOSFET gate. However, a small series resistor may be required to
damp resonant ringing due to stray inductance.

(1) Excessive VCC input voltage and current will damage the device. This clamp will not protect the device from an unregulated bias supply.
If an unregulated bias supply is used, a series-connected Fixed Positive-Voltage Regulator such as the UA78L15A is recommended.
See the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for the limits on VCC voltage, current, and junction temperature.
(2) Refer to Figure 13, Figure 14, Figure 15, and Figure 16 of the Typical Characteristics for typical gate drive waveforms.
(3) ZCD blanking times are ensured by design.
(4) Gate drive on-time is proportional to (VCOMP – 0.125 V). The on-time proportionality factor, KT, scales linearly with the value of RTSET
and is different in two-phase and single-phase modes. The minimum switching period is proportional to RTSET.
(5) An output on-time is generated at both GDA and GDB if both ZCDA and ZCDB negative-going edges are not detected for the restart
time. In single-phase mode, the restart time applies for the ZCDA input and the GDA output.
(6) Thermal shutdown occurs at temperatures higher than the normal operating range. Device performance above the normal operating
temperature is not specified or assured.

PWM-Control Output: This open-drain output goes low when HVSEN is within the HVSEN-good region (HVSEN
> 2.5 V), there is no FailSafe OV, and there is no Phase-Fail condition when operating in two-phase mode (see
PHB pin). Otherwise, PWMCNTL is high-impedance.
Timing Set: PWM on-time programming input. Connect a resistor from TSET to AGND to set the on-time versus
COMP voltage and the minimum switching period at the gate-drive outputs. Protection circuits prevent the
controller from operating if the TSET input is in an open-circuit or short-circuit condition. As long as this pin is
open-circuited, it triggers a full soft-start condition. If this pin becomes shorted to GND, its current is limited and
also triggers a soft-start condition.
Bias Supply Input: Connect this pin to a controlled bias supply of between 14 V and 21 V. Also connect a
0.1-μF or larger ceramic bypass capacitor from this pin to PGND with the shortest possible board trace. This bias
supply powers all circuits within the device and must be capable of delivering the steady-state dc current plus the
transient power-MOSFET gate-charging current. Input bias current is very low during undervoltage-lockout
(UVLO) or stand-by conditions (VSENSE < 1.25 V).
Input AC Voltage Sense: For normal operation, connect this pin to a voltage divider across the rectified input
power mains. When the voltage on VINAC remains below the brownout threshold for longer than the brownout
filter time, the device enters a brownout mode, both output drivers are disabled and a full soft-start is triggered.
Select the input voltage divider ratio for the desired brownout threshold. Select the divider impedance for the
desired brownout hysteresis based on the hysteresis current. A dropout condition is triggered when VINAC
remains below the dropout threshold for longer than the dropout filter time. The error amplifier is disabled and an
internal 4-μA current source discharges COMP for the duration of the dropout condition. The dropout condition is
immediately cleared and normal operation resumes when VINAC exceeds the dropout-clear threshold.
Voltage Reference Output: Connect a 0.1-μF or larger ceramic bypass capacitor from this pin to AGND. VREF
turns off during UVLO and VSENSE-disable to save bias current and increase stand-by efficiency. This reference
output can be used to bias other circuits requiring less than a few milliamperes of non-pulsing total supply
current.
Output DC Voltage Sense: Connect this pin to a voltage divider across the output of the power converter. In a
closed-loop system, the voltage at VSENSE is regulated to the error amplifier reference voltage. Select the
output voltage divider ratio for the desired output voltage. Connect the ground side of this divider to analog
ground (AGND) through a separate short trace for best output regulation accuracy and noise immunity. Controller
operation may be enabled when VSENSE voltage exceeds the 1.25-V enable threshold. VSENSE can be pulled
low by an open-drain logic output, or >6-V logic output in series with a low-leakage diode, to disable the outputs
and reduce VCC current. Two levels of output overvoltage are detected at this input. If VSENSE exceeds the
first-level overvoltage protection threshold VLOW_OV, an internal 2-kΩ resistor is applied to COMP to quickly
reduce gate-drive on-time. If VSENSE continues to rise past the second-level threshold VHIGH_OV, GDA and GDB
are immediately latched off. This latch is cleared when VSENSE falls below the OV-clear threshold. If VSENSE
becomes disconnected, open-loop protection provides an internal current source to pull VSENSE low, which
disables the controller and triggers a soft-start condition.
Zero Current Detection Inputs: These inputs are used to detect a negative-going edge when the boost inductor
current in each respective phase goes to zero. The inputs are clamped between 0 V and 3 V. Connect each pin
through a current limiting resistor to the zero-crossing detection (ZCD) winding of the corresponding boost
inductor. The resistor value should be chosen to limit the clamping currents to less than ±3 mA. The inductor
winding polarity must be arranged so that this ZCD voltage falls when the inductor current decays to zero. When
the inductor current falls to zero, the ZCD input must drop below the falling threshold (approximately 1 V) to
cause the gate drive output to rise. Subsequently, when the power-MOSFET turns off, the ZCD input must rise
above the rising threshold (approximately 1.7 V) to arm the logic for another falling ZCD edge.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Principles of Operation
The UCC28063 contains the control circuits for two parallel-connected boost pulse-width modulated (PWM)
power converters. The boost PWM power converters ramp current in the boost inductors for a time period
proportional to the voltage on the error amplifier output. Each power converter then turns off the power MOSFET
until current in the boost inductor decays to zero, as sensed on the zero current detection inputs (ZCDA and
ZCDB). Once the inductor is demagnetized, the power converter starts another cycle. This on/off cycling
produces a triangle wave of current, with peak current set by the on-time and instantaneous power mains input
voltage, VIN(t), as shown in Equation 1.
V (t) ´ TON
IPEAK (t) = IN
L (1)
The average line current is exactly equal to half of the peak line current, as shown in Equation 2.
V (t) ´ TON
IAVG (t) = IN
2´L (2)
With TON and L being essentially constant during an AC-line period, the resulting triangular current waveform
during each switching cycle will have an average value proportional to the instantaneous value of the rectified
AC-line voltage. This architecture results in a resistive input impedance characteristic at the line frequency and a
near-unity power factor.
Natural Interleaving
Under normal operating conditions, the UCC28063 regulates the relative phasing of the channel A and channel B
inductor currents to be very close to 180°. This greatly reduces the switching-frequency ripple currents seen at
the line-filter and output capacitors, compared to the ripple current of each individual converter. This design
allows a reduction in the size and cost of input and output filtering. The phase-control function differentially
modulates the on-times of the A and B channels based on their phase and frequency relationship. The Natural
Interleaving method allows the converter to achieve 180° phase-shift and transition-mode operation for both
phases without tight requirements on boost inductor tolerance.
Ideally, the best current-sharing is achieved when both inductors are exactly the same value. Typically the
inductances are not the same, so the current-sharing of the A and B channels is proportional to the inductor
tolerance. Also, switching delays and resonances of each channel typically differ slightly, and the controller
allows some necessary phase-error deviation from 180° to maintain equal switching frequencies. Optimal phase
balance occurs if the individual power stages and the on-times are well matched. Mismatches in inductor values
do not affect the phase relationship.
Distortion Reduction
Due to the parasitic resonance between the drain-source capacitance of the switching MOSFET and the boost
inductor, conventional transition-mode PFC circuits may not be able to absorb power from the input line when the
input voltage is near zero. This limitation increases total harmonic distortion as a result of ac-line current
waveform distortion in the form of flat spots. To help reduce line-current distortion, the UCC28063 increases
switching MOSFET on-time when the input voltage is near 0 V to improve the power absorption capability and
compensate for this effect.
Figure 12 in the Typical Characteristics section shows the increase in on-time with respect to VINAC voltage.
Excessive filtering of the VINAC signal will nullify this function.

External Disable
The UCC28063 can be externally disabled by purposefully grounding the VSENSE pin with an open-drain or
open-collector driver. When disabled, the device supply current drops significantly and COMP is actively pulled
low. This disable method forces the device into standby mode and minimizes its power consumption. This is
particularly useful when standby power is a key design aspect. When VSENSE is released, the device enters
soft-start mode.

To improve the transient response to large perturbations, the error amplifier gain increases by a factor of ~5X
when the error amp input deviates more than ±5% from the nominal regulation voltage, VSENSEreg. This
increase allows faster charging and discharging of the compensation components following sudden load-current
increases or decreases (also refer to Figure 5 in the Typical Characteristics).

Soft Start
Soft-start is a process for boosting the output voltage of the PFC converter from the peak of the ac-line input
voltage to the desired regulation voltage under controlled conditions. Instead of a dedicated soft-start pin, the
UCC28063 uses the voltage error amplifier as a controlled current source to increase the PWM duty-cycle by
way of increasing the COMP voltage. To avoid excessive start-up time-delay when the ac-line voltage is low, a
higher current is applied until VSENSE exceeds 3 V at which point the current is reduced to minimize the
tendency for excess COMP voltage at no-load start-up.
The PWM gradually ramps from zero on-time to normal on-time as the compensation capacitor from COMP to
AGND charges from zero to near its final value. This process implements a soft-start, with timing set by the
output current of the error amplifier and the value of the compensation capacitors. In the event of a HVSEN
FailSafe OVP, brownout, external-disable, UVLO fault, or other protection faults, COMP is actively discharged
and the UCC28063 will soft-start after the triggering event is cleared. Even if a fault event happens very briefly,
the fault is latched into the soft-start state and soft-start is delayed until COMP is fully discharged to 20 mV and
the fault is cleared. See Figure 29 for details on the COMP current. See Figure 30 which illustrates an example
of typical system behavior during soft-start.

Brownout Protection
As the power line RMS voltage decreases, RMS input current must increase to maintain a constant output
voltage for a specific load. Brownout protection helps prevent excess system thermal stress (due to the higher
RMS input current) from exceeding a safe operating level. Power-line voltage is sensed at VINAC. When the
VINAC fails to exceed the brownout threshold for the brownout filter time, a brownout condition is detected and
both gate drive outputs are turned off. During brownout, COMP is actively pulled low and a soft-start condition is
initiated. Hysteresis is built into the brownout detection circuit to avoid chatter around the threshold. When VINAC
rises above the brownout threshold, the power stage soft-starts as COMP rises with controlled current.
The brownout detection threshold and its hysteresis are set by the voltage-divider ratio and resistor values.
Brownout protection is based on VINAC peak voltage; the threshold and hysteresis are also based on the line
peak voltage. Major hysteresis is provided by a 2-μA current-sink (IBOHYS) enabled whenever VINAC falls below
the brownout detection threshold. Minor hysteresis is also present in the form of a 50-mV offset (VBOHYS)
between the VINAC detection and clear thresholds. The peak VINAC voltage can be easily translated into an
RMS value. Example resistor values for the voltage divider are 8.61 MΩ ±1% from the rectified input voltage to
VINAC and 133 kΩ ±1% from VINAC to ground. These resistors set the typical thresholds for RMS line voltages,
as shown in Table 1.
Equation 8 and Equation 9 can be used to calculate the VINAC divider-resistor values based on desired
brownout detection and brownout clear voltage levels. VAC_OK is the desired RMS turn-on voltage, VAC_BO is the
desired RMS turn-off brownout voltage, and VLOSS is total series voltage drop due to wiring, EMI-filter, and
bridge-rectifier impedances at VAC_BO. VBODET, VBOHYS and IBOHYS are found in the data-tables of this datasheet.

Once standard values for the VINAC divider-resistors RA and RB are selected, the actual turn-on and brownout

An example of the timing for the brownout function is illustrated in Figure 31.
For a quick estimation of the turn-on and brownout voltages, simplify the foregoing equations by setting the VLOSS
and VBOHYS terms to zero.
Dropout Detection
It is often the case that the ac-line voltage momentarily drops to zero or nearly zero, due to transient abnormal
events affecting the local ac power distribution network. Referred to as ac-line dropouts (or sometimes as
line-dips) the duration of such events usually extends to only 1 or 2 line cycles. During a dropout, the
down-stream power conversion stages depend on sufficient energy storage in the PFC output capacitance, which
is sized to provide the ride-through energy for a specified hold-up time. Typically while the PFC output voltage is
falling, the voltage-loop error amplifier output rises in an attempt to maintain regulation. As a consequence,
excess duty-cycle is commanded when the ac-line voltage returns and high peak current surges may saturate
the boost inductors with possible overstress and audible noise.
The UCC28063 incorporates a dropout detection feature which suspends the action of the error amplifier for the
duration of the dropout. If the VINAC voltage falls below 0.35 V for longer than 5 ms, a dropout condition is
detected and the error amplifier output is turned off. In addition, a 4-μA pull-down current is applied to COMP to
gently discharge the compensation network capacitors. In this way, when the ac-line voltage returns, the COMP
voltage (and corresponding duty-cycle setting) remains very near or even slightly below the level it was before
the dropout occurred. Current surges due to excess duty-cycle, and their undesired attendant effects, are
avoided. The dropout condition is cancelled and the error amplifier resumes normal operation when VINAC rises
above 0.71 V.
Based on the VINAC divider-resistor values calculated for brownout in the previous section, the input RMS
voltage thresholds for dropout detection VAC_DO and dropout clearing VDO_CLR can be determined using
Equation 12 and Equation 13, below.

Avoid excessive filtering of the VINAC signal, or dropout detection may be delayed or defeated. An RC
time-constant of ≤ 100-μs should provide good performance. An example of the timing for the dropout function is

VREF
VREF is an output which supplies a well-regulated reference voltage to circuits within the device as well as
serving as a limited source for external circuits. This output must be bypassed to GND with a low-impedance
0.1-μF or larger capacitor placed as close to the VREF and GND pins as possible. Current draw by external
circuits should not exceed a few milli-amperes and should not be pulsing.
The VREF output is disabled under the following conditions: when VCC is in UVLO, or when VSENSE is below
the Enable threshold. This output can only source current and is unable to accept current into the pin.
VCC
VCC is usually connected to a bias supply of between 13 V and 21 V. To minimize switching ripple voltage on
VCC, it should be by-passed with a low-impedance capacitor as close to the VCC and GND pins as possible.
The capacitance should be sized to adequately decouple the peak currents due to gate-drive switching at the
highest operating frequency. When powered from a poorly-regulated low-impedance supply, an external zener
diode is recommended to prevent excessive current into VCC.
The undervoltage-lockout (UVLO) condition is when VCC voltage has not yet reached the turn-on threshold or
has fallen below the turn-off threshold, having already been turned on. While in UVLO, the VREF output and
most circuits within the device are disabled and VCC current falls significantly below the normal operating level.
The same situation applies when VSENSE is below its Enable threshold. This helps minimize power loss during
pre-powerup and standby conditions.
Over-Current Protection
Under certain conditions (such as inrush, brownout-recovery, and output over-load) the PFC power stage sees
large currents. It is critical that the power devices be protected from switching during these conditions.
The conventional current-sensing method uses a shunt resistor in series with each MOSFET source leg to sense
the converter currents, resulting in multiple ground points and high power dissipation. Furthermore, since no
current information is available when the MOSFETs are off, the source-resistor current-sensing method results in
repeated turn-on of the MOSFETs during over-current (OC) conditions. Consequently, the converter may
temporarily operate in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and may experience failures induced by excessive
reverse-recovery currents in the boost diodes or other abnormal stresses.
The UCC28063 uses a single resistor to continuously sense the combined total inductor (input) current. This
way, turn-on of the MOSFETs is completely avoided when the inductor currents are excessive. The gate drive to
the MOSFETs is inhibited until total inductor current drops to near zero, precluding reverse-recovery-induced
failures (these failures are most likely to occur when the ac-line recovers from a brownout condition).
The nominal OC threshold voltage during two-phase operation is -200 mV, which helps minimize losses. This
threshold is automatically reduced to -166 mV during single-phase operation, either by detection of a phase
failure or because PHB is driven below 0.8 V. Note that the single-phase threshold is not simply 1/2 of the
dual-phase threshold, because the ratio of the single-phase peak current to the interleaved peak current is higher
than 1/2.
An OC condition immediately turns off both gate-drive outputs, but does not trigger a soft-start and does not
modify the error amplifier operation. The over-current condition is cleared when the total inductor current-sense
voltage falls below the OC-clear threshold (-15 mV).
Following an over-current condition, both MOSFETs are turned on simultaneously once the input current drops to
near zero. Because the two phase currents are temporarily operating in-phase, the current-sense resistance
should be chosen so that OC protection is not triggered with twice the maximum current peak value of either
phase in order to allow quick return to normal operation after an over-current event. Automatic phase-shift control
will re-establish interleaving within a few switching cycles.
Open-Loop Protection
If the feedback loop is disconnected from the device, a 100-nA current source internal to the UCC28063 pulls the
VSENSE pin voltage towards ground. When VSENSE falls below 1.20 V, the device becomes disabled. When
disabled, the bias supply current decreases, both gate-drive outputs and COMP are actively pulled low, and a
soft-start condition is initiated. The device is re-enabled when VSENSE rises above 1.25 V. At that time, the gate
drive outputs will begin switching under soft-start PWM control.
If the feedback loop is disconnected from ground, the VSENSE voltage will be pulled high. When VSENSE rises
above the 2nd-level over-voltage protection threshold, both gate drive outputs are shut off and COMP is actively
pulled low. The device is re-enabled when VSENSE falls below the OV-clear threshold. The VSENSE input can
tolerate a limited amount of current into the device under abnormally high input voltage conditions. Refer to the
Absolute Maximum Ratings table near the beginning of this datasheet for details.
Phase-Fail Protection
The UCC28063 detects failure of either of the phases by monitoring the sequence of ZCD pulses. During normal
two-phase operation, if one ZCD input remains idle for longer than approximately 12 ms while the other ZCD
input switches normally, the over-current threshold is reduced and PWMCNTL goes to a high-impedance state,
indicating that the PFC power stage is not operating correctly. During normal single-phase operation (PHB < 0.8
V), phase failure is not monitored. Also on the UCC28063, phase failure is not monitored when COMP is below
approximately 222 mV.

These specifications are shown in Table 2.

NOTE
PHB and VREF pins are connected by a jumper on the back of the board.
Inductor Selection
The boost inductor is selected based on the inductor ripple current requirements at the peak of low line.
Selecting the inductor requires calculating the boost converter duty cycle at the peak of low line (DPEAK_LOW_LINE),
as shown in Equation 18.
VOUT - VIN_MIN 2 390 V - 85 V 2
DPEAK _ LOW _ LINE = = » 0.69
VOUT 390 V (18)
The minimum switching frequency of the converter (fMIN) under low line conditions occurs at the peak of low line
and is set between 25 kHz and 50 kHz to avoid audible noise. For this design example, fMIN is set to 45 kHz. For
a 2-phase interleaved design, L1 and L2 are determined as shown in Equation 19.
h ´ VIN _ MIN2 ´ DPEAK _ LOW _ LINE 0.92(85 V)2 0.69
L1 = L2 = = » 340 mH
POUT ´ fMIN 300 W ´ 45kHz (19)
The inductor for this design would have a peak current (ILPEAK) of 5.4 A, as shown in Equation 20, and an RMS
current (ILRMS) of 2.2 A, as shown in Equation 21.
POUT 2 300 W 2

VIN _ MIN ´ h 85 V ´ 0.92

ILPEAK 5.4 A
ILRMS = = » 2.2 Arms

This converter uses constant on time (TON) and zero-current detection (ZCD) to set up the converter timing.
Auxiliary windings on L1 and L2 detect when the inductor currents are zero. Selecting the turns ratio using
Equation 22 ensures that there will be at least 2 V at the peak of high line to reset the ZCD comparator after
every switching cycle.
The turns-ratio of each auxiliary winding is:
NP VOUT - VIN_MAX 2 390 V - 265 V 2
= = »8
Ns 2V 2V (22)
HVSENSE
The HVSENSE pin programs the PWMCNTL output of the UCC28063. The PWMCNTL open-drain output can be
used to disable a downstream converter while the PFC output capacitor is charging. PWMCNTL starts high
impedance and pulls to ground when HVSEN increases above 2.5 V. Setting the point where PWMCNTL
becomes active requires a voltage divider from the boost voltage to the HVSEN pin to ground. Equation 25 to
Equation 30 show how to set the PWMCNTL pin to activate when the output voltage is within 90% of its nominal
value.
VOUT _ OK = VOUT ´ 0.90 » 351 V
(25)
Resistor RE sets up the high side of the voltage divider and programs the hysteresis of the PWMCNTL signal.
For this example, RE was selected to provide 99 V of hysteresis, as shown in Equation 26. Three resistors in
series were used to meet voltage requirements.
Hysteresis 99 V

Equation 29.

Brownout Protection
Resistor RA and RB are selected to activate brownout protection at ~75% of the specified minimum-operating
input voltage. Resistor RA programs the brownout hysteresis comparator, which is selected to provide 17 V (~12
VRMS) of hysteresis. Calculations for RA and RB are shown in Equation 44 through Equation 47.
Hysteresis 17 V
RA = = = 8.5MW

To meet voltage requirements, three 2.87-MΩ resistors were used in series for RA.

RB = = = 135.8kW
VIN _ MIN ´ 0.75 2 - 1.4 V 85 V ´ 0.75 2 - 1.4 V
(46)
Select a standard value for RB.
RB = 133kW (47)
In this design example, brownout becomes active (shuts down PFC) when the input drops below 66 VRMS for
longer than 440 ms and deactivates (restarts with a full soft start) when the input reaches 78 VRMS.
Converter Timing
The maximum on-time TON depends on fMIN as determined by Equation 48. To ensure proper operation, the
timing must be set based on the highest boost inductance (L1MAX) and output power (POUT). In this design
example, the boost inductor could be as high as 390 µH. Calculate the timing resistor RT as shown in
Equation 49.

Programming VOUT
Resistor RC is selected to minimize loading on the power line when the PFC is disabled. Construct resistor RC
from two or more resistors in series to meet high-voltage requirements. Resistor RD is then calculated based on
RC, the reference voltage, VREF, and the required output voltage, VOUT. Based on the values shown in
Equation 51 to Equation 54, the primary output over-voltage protection threshold should be as shown in
Equation 55:
RC = 2.74MW + 2.74MW + 3.01MW = 8.49MW (51)
