The UCC28064A is a dual-phase, transition-mode Power Factor Correction (PFC) pre-regulator. The
UCC28064EVM-004 is an evaluation module (EVM) with a 390-V, 300-W, dc output that operates from a
universal input of 85 V
Throughout this document, the acronym EVM and the phrases evaluation board and evaluation module
are synonymous with the UCC28064EVM.

1Description
The pre-regulator uses UCC28064A PFC Interleaved Controller to shape the input current wave to provide
power-factor correction. This device uses TI’s Natural Interleaving ™ technology to interleave boost
phases.
This user’s guide provides the schematic, List of Materials, assembly drawing for a single-sided printed
circuit board application, and test set-up information necessary to evaluate the UCC28064A in a typical
PFC application.

2Thermal Requirements
This evaluation module will operate up to 300 W without external cooling in ambient temperatures of 25°C.
3Electrical Characteristics
Table 1 summarizes the electrical specifications of the UCC28064EVM-004.
There are high voltages present on the pre-regulator. It must only
be handled by experienced power supply professionals. To
evaluate this board as safely as possible, the following test
configuration must be used:
•Connect an isolation transformer between the source and unit
•Attach a voltmeter and a resistive or electronic load to the unit output
before supplying power to the EVM.
A separate 13-V bias supply is required to power the UCC28064A control circuitry. The unit will start up
under no-load conditions. However, for safety, a load must be connected to the output of the device before
it is powered up. The unit must also never be handled while power is applied to it or when the output
voltage is above 50-V dc. Refer to Figure 2 for a recommended test setup diagram.
CAUTION
There are very high voltages on the board. Components can and will reach
temperatures greater than 100°C. Use caution when handling the EVM.
