UCC3818ADR

Texas Instruments · AC-DC Controllers And Regulators · SOIC-16

UCC3818ADR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GND power_in Ground connection; all voltages are measured with respect to ground; bypass VCC and VREF to GND with 0.1µF or larger ceramic capacitor.
2 PKLMT input PFC peak current limit input; threshold for peak limit is 0V; peak current limit reached when PKLMT voltage falls below 0V.
3 CAOUT output Output of wide bandwidth current amplifier that senses line current and commands the PWM to force correct duty cycle; compensation components placed between CAOUT and MOUT.
4 CAI input Current amplifier noninverting input; place resistor between this pin and the GND side of current sense resistor; input remains functional below GND.
5 MOUT bidirectional Output of analog multiplier and inverting input of current amplifier; high-impedance input for differential amplifier configuration; multiplier output current limited to 2×IAC.
6 IAC input Analog multiplier input representing instantaneous rectified line voltage; current proportional to input voltage; recommended maximum current is 500µA.
7 VAOUT output Output of voltage amplifier that regulates output voltage; internally limited to approximately 5.5V to prevent overshoot.
8 VFF input Feed-forward voltage input; RMS voltage signal generated by mirroring 1/2 of IAC into single pole external filter; at low line should be 1.4V.
9 VREF power_out Accurate 7.5V voltage reference output capable of delivering 20mA to peripheral circuitry; internally short-circuit limited; disabled and remains at 0V when VCC below UVLO threshold.
10 OVP/EN input Window comparator input for overvoltage protection and enable function; disables output driver if boost output voltage exceeds programmed level; resets soft-start if pulled below 1.9V typical.
11 VSENSE input Voltage amplifier inverting input; normally connected to compensation network and boost converter output through resistor divider network.
12 RT input Oscillator charging current input; resistor from RT to GND programs oscillator charging current and frequency; TI recommends 10kΩ to 100kΩ; nominal voltage 3V.
13 SS input Soft-start input; external capacitor charged to slowly increase PWM duty cycle during start-up enabling voltage amplifier output to increase gradually; discharged for VCC low conditions.
14 CT input Oscillator timing capacitor input; capacitor from CT to GND sets PWM oscillator frequency; lead should be short and direct to GND.
15 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage input; connect to stable source of at least 20mA from 10V to 17V for normal operation; bypass to GND with 0.1µF or larger ceramic capacitor.
16 DRVOUT output Gate drive output for boost switch; totem-pole MOSFET gate driver with ±1.2A peak current capability; series gate current-limiting resistor recommended to prevent overshoot on capacitive loads.
