Overview

The UCC28C53DR is a high-performance current-mode PWM controller designed for efficient DC-DC conversion in various topologies including flyback, boost, and forward converters. This functional-safety-capable IC features a low 75 microamp startup current and supports a wide VDD range up to 30V, making it suitable for both industrial and high-reliability power supply designs.

Why Choose This Part

This controller offers a highly accurate +/-1% internal 2.5V reference and rail-to-rail output drivers capable of sourcing 1A, which simplifies MOSFET gate drive circuits. Its low operating current of 1.3 mA at 52 kHz enhances overall system efficiency, while its pin-to-pin compatibility with the UCCx8C4x family allows for easy performance upgrades in existing designs.

Applications

Industrial Power Supplies
Used in isolated flyback and non-isolated boost converters for factory automation equipment.
Telecom Power Modules
Provides high-frequency PWM control for compact DC-DC converters in networking hardware.
Automotive Auxiliary Power
The Q1 variant or functional-safety-capable standard version can be used in vehicle subsystems requiring stable 5V or 12V rails.
General Purpose Offline Supplies
Acts as the primary side controller for switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) with cycle-by-cycle current limiting.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, designers can use TI's Power Stage Designer software to calculate transformer and compensation components. When prototyping on a PCB, ensure the bypass capacitor for VDD is placed as close to the IC pins as possible to minimize switching noise and ensure stable operation of the current sense comparator.
