UCC28180: Bidirectional power flow along with Unity power factor

Shivkant Sharma12

Part Number: UCC28180

Hello,

I have single phase IGBT based Bridge and planning to use IC UCC28180 for Power factor correction.

Can i use this IC to get unity power factor along with bidirectional power flow.

I will be giving same gate pulses (Gate Pulses coming from IC) to two bottom switches simultaneously for unity power factor(only one directional power flow).

Please help me to achieve unity power factor along with bidirectional power flow.

If not possible with this IC then could you please suggest me some relevant part number.

Thanks

Hi Shivkant,

The UCC28180 is designed to control unidirectional PFC stages only, mostly standard boost topology circuit. The concept you describe in your post sounds very interesting but it is beyond the scope of the support provided by TI witihin the E2E forum.

Best Regards

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I understand the limitation of UCC28180. But could you please let me know any relevant part which i can use for my application (Unity power factor with bidirectional power flow).

You wanted to say that it is not possible with analog IC or this discussion is not in the scope of this particular Forum?

Thanks
Shivkant

Hi Shivkant,

All our analogue PFC controllers are designed for unidirectional power flow. For more complex topologies customers normally using the C2000 DSP devices.
