UCC28070 is a Two-Phase Interleaved CCM PFC Controller

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments.

The UCC28070 is an advanced power factor correction device.

It integrates two pulse-width modulators (PWMs) that operate 180° out of phase. This interleaved PWM operation, if you will, produces a significant reduction in the input and output ripple currents. As a result, the conducted-EMI filtering becomes simpler and less expensive.

A heavily improved, highly linear multiplier design provides a shared current reference to two independent current amplifiers. This is able to ensure matched average current mode control in both PWM outputs while maintaining a stable, low-distortion sinusoidal input line current.

TI's UCC28070 contains multiple innovations such as quantized voltage feed-forward and advanced current synthesis to promote performance enhancements in THD, efficiency, transient, and PF response. Additional features, including external clock synchronization, amplifier output slew-rate enhancement, and dithering, also expand potential performance enhancements.

UCC28070 has a myriad of protection features. These include under-voltage lockout, output over-voltage detection, open-loop protection, and programmable peak-current limit. Frequency is programmable from 30 to 300 kHz. Maximum duty-cycle clamp is also programmable, as is the frequency dithering magnitude and rate to reduce EMI.

The UCC28070 is available in a 20-lead TSSOP/SOIC package.
