UCC3818DTR

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

UCC3818DTR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GND power_in Ground reference for all voltages; VCC and VREF should be bypassed directly to GND with a 0.1-µF or larger ceramic capacitor.
2 PKLMT input PFC peak current limit with a threshold of 0 V, reached when the PKLMT voltage falls below 0 V; level-shift it from the negative side of the sense resistor to VREF through a resistor divider.
3 CAOUT output Current amplifier output from a wide-bandwidth op amp that commands the PFC PWM duty cycle, with compensation components placed between CAOUT and MOUT.
4 CAI input Current amplifier noninverting input, which should connect through a resistor to the GND side of the current sense resistor and remains functional down to and below GND.
5 MOUT bidirectional Multiplier output and current amplifier inverting input, a high-impedance node whose multiplier output current is limited to 2 × IIAC.
6 IAC input Current input proportional to instantaneous line voltage to the analog multiplier, with a recommended maximum IIAC of 500 µA.
7 VAOUT output Voltage amplifier output that regulates output voltage, internally limited to approximately 5.5 V to prevent overshoot.
8 VFF input Feed-forward voltage generated by mirroring 1/2 of IIAC into an external single-pole filter, which should be 1.4 V at low line.
9 VREF power_in Accurate 7.5-V voltage reference output capable of delivering 20 mA to peripheral circuitry, internally short-circuit current-limited, and disabled at 0 V when VCC is below the UVLO threshold; bypass with 0.1 µF or larger.
10 OVP/EN input Window comparator input that disables the output driver when the boost output is a programmed level above nominal and disables the driver and resets SS when pulled below 1.9 V (typ), with a maximum input voltage of 10 V.
11 VSENSE input Voltage amplifier inverting input, normally connected to a compensation network and to the boost output through a divider; maximum input voltage 10 V.
12 RT input Oscillator charging current programming pin; a resistor between 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ to GND is recommended, with a nominal voltage of 3 V on this pin.
13 SS input Soft-start pin that is discharged when VCC is low, charges an external capacitor through a current source when enabled, and is limited to 8 V maximum input voltage.
14 CT input Oscillator timing capacitor from CT to GND that sets the PWM frequency per f ≈ 0.6/(RT × CT), with the GND lead kept as short as possible.
15 VCC power_in Positive supply that should be held between 10 V and 17 V (at least 20 mA) for normal operation, with an 18 V absolute maximum rating, and bypassed directly to GND; outputs are inhibited unless VCC exceeds the upper UVLO threshold and stays above the lower threshold.
16 DRVOUT output Totem-pole MOSFET gate drive output for the boost switch, which requires a series gate resistor to limit overshoot when driving a capacitive load.
