DESCRIPTION
The UCC3858 provides all of the functions necessary for active power factor corrected
preregulators which require high efficiency at low power operation. The controller
achieves near unity power factor by shaping the AC input line current waveform to cor-
respond to the AC input line voltage using average current mode control.
The operation of the UCC3858 closely resembles that of previously designed Unitrode
PFC parts with additional features to allow higher efficiency boost converter operation
at light loads. This is accomplished by linearly scaling back the PWM frequency when
the output of the voltage error amplifier drops below a predetermined user program-
mable level indicating a light load condition. The frequency is scaled back by reducing
the charging current for the CT ramp (in proportion to the output power), and increas-
ing the dead time. There is also an instantaneous reset input to pull the IC out of fold-
back mode quickly when the load comes back up.
The PWM technique used in the UCC3858 is leading edge modulation. When com-
bined with the more conventional trailing edge modulation on the downstream con-
verter, this scheme offers the benefit of reduced ripple current on the bulk storage
capacitor. The oscillator is designed for easy synchronization to the downstream con-
verter. A simple synchronization scheme can be implemented by connecting the PWM
output of the downstream converter to the SYNC pin.
Controller improvements include an onboard peak detector for the input line RMS volt-
age, an integrated overcurrent shutdown, overvoltage shutdown and significantly
lower quiescent operating current. The peak detector eliminates an external 2-pole low
pass filter for RMS detection. This simplifies the converter design as well as providing
an approximate 6X improvement in input line transient response. The current signal is
