DESCRIPTION

The UC1875 family of integrated circuits implements control of a bridge
power stage by phase-shifting the switching of one half-bridge with respect
to the other, allowing constant frequency pulse-width modulation in combi

­nation with resonant, zero-voltage switching for high efficiency performance
at high frequencies. This family of circuits may be configured to provide
control in either voltage or current mode operation, with a separate
over-current shutdown for fast fault protection.

A programmable time delay is provided to insert a dead-time at the turn-on
of each output stage. This delay, providing time to allow the resonant
switching action, is independently controllable for each output pair (A-B,
C-D).

With the oscillator capable of operation at frequencies in excess of 2MHz,
overall switching frequencies to 1MHz are practical. In addition to the stan

­dard free running mode, with the CLOCKSYNC pin, the user may configure
these devices to accept an external clock synchronization signal, or may
lock together up to 5 units with the operational frequency determined by the
fastest device.

Protective features include an undervoltage lockout which maintains all out­puts in an active-low state until the supply reaches a 10.75V threshold.

1.5V hysteresis is built in for reliable, boot-strapped chip supply.
Over-current protection is provided, and will latch the outputs in the OFF
state within 70nsec of a fault. The current-fault circuitry implements
full-cycle restart operation.

CLOCKSYNC (bi-directional clock and synchroniza

-

tion pin): Used as an output, this pin provides a clock

signal. As an input, this pin provides a synchronization
point. In its simplest usage, multiple devices, each with
their own local oscillator frequency, may be connected to

­gether by the CLOCKSYNC pin and will synchronize on
the fastest oscillator. This pin may also be used to syn

­chronize the device to an external clock, provided the ex

­ternal signal is of higher frequency than the local
oscillator. A resistor load may be needed on this pin to
minimize the clock pulse width.

E/AOUT (error amplifier output): This is is the gain
stage for overall feedback control. Error amplifier output
voltage levels below 1 volt will force 0° phase shift. Since
the error amplifier has a relatively low current drive capa

­bility, the output may be overridden by driving with a suffi

­ciently low impedance source.

CS+ (current sense): The non-inverting input to the cur

­rent-fault comparator whose reference is set internally to
a fixed 2.5V (separate from VREF). When the voltage at
this pin exceeds 2.5V the current-fault latch is set, the
outputs are forced OFF and a SOFT-START cycle is initi­ated. If a constant voltage above 2.5V is applied to this
pin the outputs are disabled from switching and held in a
low state until the CS+ pin is brought below 2.5V. The
outputs may begin switching at 0 degrees phase shift be­fore the SOFTSTART pin begins to rise -- this condition
will not prematurely deliver power to the load.

FREQSET (oscillator frequency set pin): A resistor
and a capacitor from FREQSET to GND will set the oscil

­lator frequency.

DELAYSET A-B, DELAYSET C-D (output delay con

­trol): The user programmed current flowing from these

pins to GND set the turn-on delay for the corresponding
output pair. This delay is introduced between turn-off of
one switch and turn-on of another in the same leg of the
bridge to provide a dead time in which the resonant
switching of the external power switches takes place.
Separate delays are provided for the two half-bridges to
accommodate differences in the resonant capacitor
charging currents.

EA– (error amplifier inverting input): This is normally
connected to the voltage divider resistors which sense
the power supply output voltage level.

EA+ (error amplifier non-inverting input): This is nor

­mally connected to a reference voltage used for compari

­son with the sensed power supply output voltage level at
the EA+ pin.

GND (signal ground): All voltages are measured with
respect to GND. The timing capacitor, on the FREQSET

pin, any bypass capacitor on the VREF pin, bypass ca

­pacitors on VIN and the ramp capacitor, on the RAMP
pin, should be connected directly to the ground plane
near the signal ground pin.

OUTA-OUTD (outputs A-D): The outputs are 2A to

­tem-pole drivers optimized for both MOSFET gates and
level-shifting transformers. The outputs operate as pairs
with a nominal 50% duty-cycle. The A-B pair is intended
to drive one half-bridge in the external power stage and
is syncronized with the clock waveform. The C-D pair will
drive the other half-bridge with switching phase shifted
with respect to the A-B outputs.

PWRGND (power ground): VC should be bypassed with
a ceramic capacitor from the VC pin to the section of the
ground plane that is connected to PWRGND. Any re

­quired bulk reservoir capacitor should parallel this one.
Power ground and signal ground may be joined at a sin

­gle point to optimize noise rejection and minimize DC
drops.

RAMP (voltage ramp): This pin is the input to the PWM
comparator. Connect a capacitor from here to GND. A
voltage ramp is developed at this pin with a slope:

dV
dT

SenseVoltage

RC

SLOPE RAMP

=

•

Current mode control may be achieved with a minimum
amount of external circuitry, in which case this pin pro­vides slope compensation.

Because of the 1.3V offset between the ramp input and
the PWM comparator, the error amplifier output voltage
can not exceed the effective ramp peak voltage and duty
cycle clamping is easily achievable with appropriate val

­ues of R

SLOPE

and C

RAMP

.

SLOPE (set ramp slope/slope compensation): A resis

­tor from this pin to VCC will set the current used to gen

­erate the ramp. Connecting this resistor to the DC input
line voltage will provide voltage feed-forward.

SOFTSTART (soft start): SOFTSTART will remain at
GND as long as VIN is below the UVLO threshold.
SOFTSTART will be pulled up to about 4.8V by an inter

­nal 9µA current source when VIN becomes valid (assum

­ing a non-fault condition). In the event of a current-fault
(CS+ voltage exceeding 2.5V), SOFTSTART will be
pulled to GND and them ramp to 4.8V. If a fault occurs
during the SOFTSTART cycle, the outputs will be imme

­diately disabled and SOFTSTART must charge fully prior
to resetting the fault latch.

For paralleled controllers, the SOFTSTART pins may be
paralled to a single capacitor, but the charge currents will
be additive.

VC (output switch supply voltage): This pin supplies

power to the output drivers and their associated bias cir

-

cuitry. Connect VC to a stable source above 3V for nor

­mal operation, above 12V for best performance. This
supply should be bypassed directly to the PWRGND pin
with low ESR, low ESL capacitors.

VIN (primary chip supply voltage): This pin supplies
power to the logic and analog circuitry on the integrated
circuit that is not directly associated with driving the out

­put stages. Connect VIN to a stable source above 12V
for normal operation. To ensure proper chip functionality,
these devices will be inactive until VIN exceeds the upper
undervoltage lockout threshold. This pin should by by

­passed directly to the GND pin with low ESR, low ESL
capacitors.

NOTE: When VIN exceeds the UVLO threshold the sup

-

ply current (I

IN

) will jump from about 100µA to a current
in excess of 20µA. If the UC1875 is not connected to a
well bypassed supply, it may immediately enter UVLO
again.

VREF: This pin is an accurate 5V voltage reference. This
output is capable of delivering about 60mA to peripheral
circuitry and is internally short circuit current limited.
VREF is disabled while VIN is low enough to force the
chip into UVLO. The circuit is also in UVLO until VREF
reaches approximately 4.75V. For best results bypass
VREF with a 0.1µF, low ESR, low ESL, capacitor to the
GND pin.

PIN FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS (cont.)

When power is applied to the circuit and VIN is below
the upper UVLO threshold, I

IN

will be below 600µA, the
reference generator will be off, the fault latch is reset,
the soft-start pin is discharged, and the outputs are ac­tively

held low. When VIN exceeds the upper UVLO thresh

­old, the reference generator turns on. All else remains
in the shut-down mode until the output of the reference,
VREF, exceeds 4.75V.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION (cont.)
SYNCHRONIZING THE OSCILLATOR

The CLOCKSYNC pin of the oscillator may be used to synchronize multiple UC1875 devices simply by connecting
the CLOCKSYNC of each UC1875 to the others:

Syncing to external TTL/CMOS

All ICs will sync to chip with the fastest local oscillator.
R1 & RN

may

be needed to keep sync pulse narrow due to capacitance on line.

R1 & RN

may

also be needed to properly terminate R

SYNC

line.

Although each UC1875/6/7/8 has a local oscillator fre

­quency, the group of devices will synchronize to the
fastest oscillator driving the CLOCKSYNC pin. This ar

­rangement allows the synchronizing connection be

­tween ICs to be broken without any local loss of
functionality.

Synchronizing the device to an external clock signal
may be accomplished with a minimum of external cir

­cuitry, as shown in the previous figure.

Capacitive loading on the CLOCKSYNC pin will in

­crease the clock pulse width, and may adversely effect
system performance. Therefore, a resistor to ground
from the CLOCKSYNC pin is optional, but may be re

­quired to offset capacitive loading on this pin. These re

­sistors are shown in the oscillator schematics as R1,
RN.

ICs will sync to fastest chip or TTL clock if it is higher frequency.
R & RN

may

be needed for same reasons as above

In each of the output stages, transistors Q3 through Q6
form a high-speed totem-pole driver which will source
or sink more than one amp peak with a total delay of
approximately 30 nanoseconds. To ensure a low output
level prior to turn-on, transistors Q7 through Q9 form a

self-biased driver to hold Q6 on prior to the supply
reaching its turn-on threshold. This circuit is operable
when the chip supply is zero. Q6 is also turned on and
held low with a signal from the fault logic portion of the
chip.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION (cont.)
DELAY BLOCKS AND OUTPUT STAGES

The delay providing the dead-time is accomplished with
C1 which must discharge to V

TH

before the output can
go high. The time is defined by the current sources, I1,
which is programmed by an external resistor, R

TD

. The

voltage on the Delay Set pins is internally regulated to

2.5V and the range of dead time control is
from 50 to 200 nanoseconds. NOTE: There is no way
to disable the delay circuitry, and the delay time must
be programmed.

The four outputs of the UC1875/6/7/8 interface to the full bridge converter switches as shown below:

The fault control circuitry provides two forms of power
shutdown:

• Complete turn-off of all four output power stages.

• Clamping the phase shift command to zero.

Complete turn-off is ordered for an over-current fault or
a low supply voltage. When the SOFTSTART pin
reaches its low threshold, switching is allowed to pro

-

ceed while the phase-shift is advanced from zero to its
nominal value with the time constant of the
SOFT-START capacitor.

The fault logic insures that a continuous fault will insti

­tute a low frequency “hiccup” retry cycle by forcing the
SOFT-START capacitor to charge through its full cycle
between each restart attempt.
