Frequently Asked Questions
At what switching frequency does the UCC3818APWR operate and why does this matter for PFC designs?
The UCC3818APWR operates at 220 kHz, enabling smaller boost inductors and filter capacitors in PFC stages. Higher switching frequency reduces the size of passive components required for achieving power factors above 0.99 in AC-DC supplies rated from 75 W to several kilowatts.
Which supply voltage range is required to power the UCC3818APWR control circuitry?
The UCC3818APWR requires a supply voltage between 10.3 V and 18 V, with 12 V as the nominal operating point. This typical VCC range is derived from an auxiliary winding or bias supply in AC-DC converter designs, ensuring stable bias for the PWM and error amplifier circuits.
How does the UCC3818APWR compare to non-PFC PWM controllers for AC-DC front-end design?
Unlike basic PWM controllers, the UCC3818APWR integrates average current-mode PFC control that shapes the input current to follow the AC line voltage, reducing total harmonic distortion below 5% and achieving power factors above 0.95. This eliminates the need for separate PFC pre-regulator ICs in offline supplies above 75 W.
