Texas Instruments UCC28061DRG4 Transition-Mode PFC Controller

The Texas Instruments UCC28061DRG4 is a robust, feature-rich Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller designed for use in a wide range of applications requiring high power factor and low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). This device is specifically engineered to meet the stringent requirements of transition-mode PFC operations, making it an ideal choice for systems such as switch-mode power supplies, lighting, and industrial power units.

At the heart of the UCC28061DRG4 is its innovative Natural Interleaving™ technology, which enables seamless interleaving of two PFC power stages. This results in reduced ripple current in both the input and output, leading to minimized electromagnetic interference (EMI) and a reduced size of input and output capacitors. The interleaving operation also contributes to improved thermal management, as the heat is more evenly distributed across the components, enhancing the reliability and longevity of the system.

The device operates over a wide supply voltage range and is capable of handling continuous conduction mode (CCM) in high power applications. Its multi-mode operation allows it to automatically transition between DCM (Discontinuous Conduction Mode) and CCM, ensuring optimal efficiency across a wide range of load conditions. Moreover, the UCC28061DRG4 features a range of protection mechanisms, including over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protection, providing a reliable and safe operation for your power system.

With its programmable switching frequency and soft-start capabilities, the UCC28061DRG4 ensures a smooth startup and improved noise immunity. The device is available in a compact SOIC-16 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. Its robust design and advanced features make the UCC28061DRG4 an excellent choice for engineers looking to enhance power efficiency, reduce component size, and ensure stable operation in their power supply designs.

Overall, the UCC28061DRG4 from Texas Instruments represents a sophisticated solution for designers who demand high performance and reliability in their PFC applications.
