SLUSAW0B March 2012 – December 2023 UCC28070A
PRODUCTION DATA
Because of the high voltage output and a limited design margin on the output capacitor, output overvoltage protection is essential for PFC circuits. The UCC28070A implements OVP through the continuous monitoring of VVSENSE. In the event VVSENSE rises above 106% of regulation (3.18V), the GDx outputs are immediately disabled to prevent the output voltage from reaching excessive levels. Meanwhile the CAOx outputs are pulled low to ensure a controlled recovery starting from 0% duty-cycle after an OVP fault is released. Once VVSENSE has dropped below 3.08V, the PWM operation resumes normal operation.
