The UCC18 89 controller is optimized for use as an of f-line, low power, low voltage,
regulated bias supply. The unique circuit topology utilized in this device can be
visualized as two cascaded flyback converters, each operating in the discontinu-
ous mode, and both driven from a single external power switch. The significant
benefit of this approach i s the abili ty to achieve voltage conversion ratios of 400V
to 1 2V wit h no t ra nsf or m er an d low int er nal los ses .
The control algorithm utilized by the UCC1889 is to force the switch on time to be
inversely proportional to the input line voltage while the switch off time is made in-
versely proportiona l to the out put volt age . This act io n is autom at ica lly cont r olled by
an internal feedback loop and referenc e. The casc aded con figura tio n allow s a volt-
age conversion from 400V to 12V to be achieved with a switch dut y cycle greater
than 10%. This topology also offers inherent short circuit protection since as the
o ut put volta g e fa lls to zer o, th e swit c h of f time appr oac hes infin ity.
The output voltage can be easily set to 12V or 18V. Moreover, it can be pro-
grammed for other output voltages less than 18V with a few additional compo-
nents. An isolated version can be achieved with this topology as described further

FEATURES DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
With referenc e t o the application d iagram below, when input volt a g e is fir st a pplied ,
the R ON current into TON is direc ted t o V CC where it charges the externa l capacito r ,
C3, connected to VCC. As voltage builds on VCC, an internal undervoltage lockout
holds the circuit off and the output at DRIVE low until VCC reaches 8.4V. At this
time, DRIVE goes high turning on the power switch, Q1 , and redir ecting the cur rent
into TON to the timing capacitor, CT. CT charges to a fixed threshold with a current
ICHG=0.8 (VIN - 4.5V)/RON. Since DRIVE will only be high for as long as CT
charges, the power switch on time will be inversely proportional to line voltage.
This provides a const ant line v olt age- switc h on tim e produc t.

OPE RATI ON (cont.)
At the end of the on time, Q1 is turn ed off and the RON
current into TON is again diverted to VCC. Thus the cur-
rent through RON, which charges CT during the on time,
contribut es to supplying control power during the of f time.
The power switch off time is controlled by the di scharge
of CT which, in turn, is programmed by the regulated out-
put voltage. The relationship between CT discharge cur-
rent, IDCHG, and output voltage is illustrated as fo llows :
1. When VOUT = 0, the off time is infinite. This feature
provides inherent short circuit protection. However, to
ensure output voltage startup when the output is not a
short, a high value resistor, RS, is placed in parallel
with CT to establish a minimum switching frequency.
2. As VOUT rises above approximately 0.7V to its regu-
lated val ue, IDCHG is defined by ROFF, and therefore is
equal to:
IDCHG = (V OUT - 0.7V) / ROFF
As VOUT increases, IDCHG increases resulting in the
reduction of off time. The frequency of operation in-
creases and VOUT rises quickly to its regulated value.
3. In this region, a transconductance amplifier reduces
IDCHG in order to maintain V OUT in regulation.
4. If VOUT should rise above its regulation range, IDCHG
falls to zero and the circui t returns to the minimum fre-
quency established by RS and CT.
The range of switching frequencies is established by
RON, ROFF, RS, and CT as follows:
Frequency = 1/(TON + TOFF)
TON = RON CT 4.6 V/(VIN - 4.5V)
TOFF (max) = 1.4 RS CT
Regions 1 and 4
TOFF = ROFF CT 3.7V /(VOUT - 0.7V)
Region 2, excluding the effects of R S
which have a minimal impact on TOFF.
The above equations assume that VCC equals 9V. The
voltage at TON increases from approximately 2.5V to
6.5V while CT is chargin g. To take this into account, VIN
is adjusted by 4.5V in the calculation of TON. The voltage
at TOFF is approximately 0.7V.
DESI GN EXAMPLE

ample , the IC i s pro grammed to deliver a maximum on time gate drive pulse width of 2.4 microseconds which occurs

ADJ: The ADJ pin is used to provide a 12V or an 18V
regul ated supp ly witho ut additi onal ex ternal components.
To select the 12V option, ADJ pin is left open. To select
the 18V option, ADJ pin must be grounded. For other out-
put voltages less than 18V, a resistor divider between
VOUT, ADJ and GND is needed. Note, however, that for
output voltages less than VCC, the device needs addi-
tional bootstrapping to VCC from an external source such
as the line voltage. If so, precautions must be taken to
ensure that total ICC does not exceed 5mA.
CT (tim ing capacitor): The signal voltage across CT has
a peak-to-peak swi ng of 3.7V for 9V VCC. As the voltage
on CT crosses the oscillator upper threshold, DRIVE goes
low. As the voltage on CT crosses the oscillator lower
threshold, DRIVE goes high.
DRIVE: This output is a CMOS stage capable of sinking
200mA peak and sourcing 150mA peak. The output volt-
age swing is 0 to VCC.
GND (chip ground): All voltages are measured with re-
spect to G ND.
TOFF (regulated output control): TOFF sets the dis-
charge current of the timing capacitor through an external
resistor connected between VOUT and TOFF.
TON (line voltage control): TON serves three functions.
When CT is discharging (off time), the current through
TON is routed to VCC. Wh en CT is charg ing (on time), the
current through TON is split 80% to set the CT charge
time and 20% to sense minimum line voltage which oc-
curs for a TON current of 220µA. For a minimum l ine volt-
age of 80V, RON is 330k.
The CT voltage slightly affects the value of the charge
current during the on time. During th is time, the v oltage at
the T ON p in increases from approxim ately 2.5V to 6.5V.
VCC (chip supply voltage): The supply voltage of the
device at pin VCC is internally clamped at 9V. Normally,
VCC is not directly powered from an external voltage
source such as the l ine vol tage. In the event that VCC is
directly connected to a voltage source for additional boot-
strapping, precauti ons mu st be taken to ensure that total
ICC does not exceed 5mA.
VOUT (regulated output): The VOUT pin is directly con-
nected to the power supply output voltage. When VOUT is
gr eater than V CC, VOUT bootstraps VCC.
