DESCRIPTION

The UCC3581 voltage mode pulse width modulator is de
signed to control low power isolated DC - DC converters
in applications such as Subscriber Line Power (ISDN
I.430). Primarily used for single switch forward and
flyback converters, the UCC3581 features BiCMOS cir
cuitry for low startup and operating current, while main
taining the ability to drive power MOSFETs at
frequencies up to 100kHz. The UCC3581 oscillator al
lows the flexibility to program both the frequency and the
maximum duty cycle with two resistors and a capacitor. A
TTL level input is also provided to allow synchronization
to an external frequency source.

The UCC3581 includes programmable soft start circuitry,
overcurrent detection, a 7.5V linear preregulator to con
trol chip V
supply.

The UCC3581 provides functions to maximize light load
efficiency that are not normally found in PWM controllers.

-

A linear preregulator driver in conjunction with an exter
nal depletion mode N-MOSFET provides initial controller
power. Once the bootstrap supply is functional, the
preregulator is shut down to conserve power. During light

-

load, power is saved by providing a programmable mini

-

mum duty cycle clamp. When a duty cycle below the
minimum is called for, the modulator skips cycles to pro

-

vide the correct average duty cycle required for output
regulation. This effectively reduces the switching fre
quency, saving significant gate drive and power stage
losses.

The UCC3581 is available in 14-pin plastic and ceramic
dual-in-line packages and in a 14-pin narrow body small

-

outline IC package (SOIC). The UCC1581 is specified for
operation from −55°C to +125°C, the UCC2581 is speci
fied for operation from −40°C to +85°C, and the
UCC3581 is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

The UCC3581’s oscillator allows the user the flexibility to

APPLICATION INFORMATION (cont.)

The externally bypassed 4.0V reference is controlled by
undervoltage lockout and chip enable circuitry. The en
able input is internally tied to a 10µA current source
which allows the pin to be driven by an open collector
driver. The part is also enabled if EN floats. The
UCC3581 has a soft start function which requires a user
supplied external timing capacitor. When in soft start
mode, the soft start capacitor, C
constant current source. The soft start current is 3.75X
the current in RT1.

There is an on-chip control amplifier, which when driving
the gate of an external depletion mode N-MOSFET, acts
as a 7.5V linear preregulator supplying VDD directly from
the primary input power line. The preregulator may sub
sequently be fully disabled by a tertiary bootstrap winding
providing a minimum of 8.2V to the VDD pin.

A Typical Micropower Application

-

The circuit shown in Fig. 3 illustrates the use of the
UCC3581 in a micropower application. The isolated 5V
flyback power supply uses a minimum of parts and oper
ates over an 8:1 input voltage range (15VDC to 120VDC)
while delivering a regulated 5V output with a load swing
from 0W to 1W. It operates in the discontinuous mode at
light load or high line, and continuous mode at heavier
loads and lower line voltages. Higher input line voltages
are possible by simply increasing the voltage ratings of
C1, Q1, D1 and D2.

The most notable feature of the design is its efficiency.
With a load of 1 watt, the typical efficiency is 82%, drop

-

ping to 70% around 50mW. With a load of only 12.5mW,
the efficiency remains as high as 50%. At this load, with
an input of 50V, the total input current is only 500µA.
Note that the power supply can be disabled by pulling the
UCC3581 enable pin low, in which case the input current
drops to less than 150µA.

The UCC3581 achieves very low losses by means of low
quiescent current and pulse skipping at light loads which
reduces switching losses. The degree of pulse skipping is
controlled by programming the minimum duty cycle. In
this example, the frequency is 35kHz at maximum load
and drops to <2kHz at 12.5mW load (minimum pulse
width of around 6µsec, or 21% duty cycle at 35kHz).
Another way losses are reduced is operating with a VDD
of around 10V rather than the more common 12V to 16V.
At such light primary currents, the MOSFET remains in
full saturation with a gate drive voltage well below 10V.

Gate drive losses are minimized by choosing a MOSFET
with low total gate charge, in this case only 8nC maxi
mum. By choosing a large gate drive resistor, EMI is min
imized by reducing peak currents. Due to pulse skipping,
switching times are less critical for efficiency at light load.

The shunt regulator (LM3411) and optocoupler
(MOC8100) are also key to the efficiency at such light
loads, and were chosen for their low operating current.
The LM3411 has a quiescent current of only 150µA max
imum (compared to 1mA for the more common TL431).
In addition, because it is not a three terminal device, the
LM3411’s quiescent current does not flow in the
optocoupler LED. Since this bias current is not in the
feedback control path, a higher value pull-up resistor can
be used on the optocoupler output transistor, further re
ducing losses.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (cont.)

startup time of several hundred milliseconds, reducing
the input surge current while the output is coming up.

If the sync input is used, it should not be left in a high im
pedance state where noise could cause false triggering.
If unused, it should be grounded.

-

Note that for stability, the UCC3581 V
tor needs to be at least 1µF. The V

REF bypass capaci

DD supply also needs

some capacitance to hold it up between pulses at light
load and high line, where the frequency may drop to less
than 1kHz due to pulse skipping. Otherwise it may drop
low enough for the startup MOSFET to be biased on,
lowering efficiency.

TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.

TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.

Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.

Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.

TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.

TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.

TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
