TI green PWM controllers boost efficiency in telecom, industrial power supplies
High-efficiency controllers integrate synchronous rectifier outputs and pre-bias
start-up to support multiple isolated power supply topologies
Bangalore (Aug. 17, 2011) – Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today introduced two high-efficiency PWM power supply controllers with integrated, programmable-delay synchronous rectifier control outputs and pre-bias start-up circuitry. The UCC28250 and UCC28950 “green controllers” simplify design and boost efficiency in high-density isolated power supplies for telecommunications, server and industrial systems. The devices support multiple high-frequency topologies, such as half-bridge, full-bridge, interleaved forward and push-pull, that may have stringent pre-bias start-up requirements and support multiple high-efficiency topologies.
High-efficiency isolated DC/DC conversion
The UCC28250 is the industry’s first half bridge or full bridge PWM controller with the ability to maintain a monotonic output voltage ramp under pre-biased load conditions -- eliminating the need for external circuitry. It can support primary- or secondary-side control and delivers up to 95-percent efficiency and high power density in high-input voltage isolated DC/DC applications, such as power modules used in wireless base stations or industrial power systems.

Other key features and benefits of UCC28250:
- Integrated synchronous rectifier outputs minimize conduction loss.
- One-percent accurate pulse-by-pulse current limit lowers system cost and simplifies design.
- Current mode and voltage mode control options provide flexibility.
Phase-shifted full-bridge control with synchronous rectification
TI also introduced the new UCC28950, which provides two additional PWM outputs for phase-shifted full bridge control up to 600 watts and achieves greater than 90-percent efficiency. The advanced controller integrates synchronous rectifier control and provides adaptive zero voltage switching over a wide input and output voltage range to reduce switching loss, which increases efficiency by 20 percent compared to competitive devices. The UCC28950 improves power supply performance in high-density power architectures for industrial, telecom and DC motor drives. For samples and evaluation modules visit: www.ti.com/ucc28950-pr.
Other key features and benefits of UCC28950:
- Allows designers to choose half-bridge with voltage mode or full-bridge with voltage/current mode for faster response.
- Light load management improves efficiency by 70 percent.
- 50- to 100-percent lower input and output ripple current allows the use of smaller input and output capacitors.
Easy-to-use models and selection tools
Both controllers are supported by various modeling and component selection tools to help speed power supply design, including PSpice® transient models, PSpice average models, MathCAD™ design tools, applications notes, evaluation modules and power supply reference designs.
