UCC28180: UCC28180 IC disable question

Part Number: UCC28180

Hi Support team 

i would like to learn more about the protection of UCC28180, I would like to know if  pull Vsense on the application (will the duty increase before protection?) or Icomp will be better. ? In addition, in standby mode, does the IC have other functions besides PWM?

  • Hello Red,

    TI recommends pulling VSENSE below the open loop protection level to shutdown the UCC28180.

    This puts the controller into a low power standby mode and also discharges the VCOMP capacitor.

    When the controller is re-enabled the enhanced dynamic response feature will give a controlled startup of the pfc.

    You can also disable the controller by pulling ICOMP below 0.2V.

    However you will get a more controlled startup with the VSENSE method.

    Standby mode only disables the pwm. The internal coircuitry is still active but there is no output signal

    Regards
