description
The UCC3960 primary-side startup controller is a unique solution that provides all the primary-side functions
required for a single-ended, isolated offline, switch-mode power converter that uses secondary-side PWM
control. It is usable with a wide range of secondary circuits and is especially well suitable for systems where
sophisticated handling of overload conditions is required.
Secondary-side control assumes that output voltage and current measurements are interfaced directly to an
output ground-referenced PWM stage that develops the power switch command for the supply. This digital
PWM command can then be transmitted to the primary-side power switch through a simple and low-cost
isolating pulse transformer. With secondary-side control, it is much easier to monitor and control the system load
with tightly coupled analog control loops. Load-oriented features such as output current sharing and
synchronous rectification are implemented more easily.
The UCC3960 provides all the circuitry required on the primary side of a secondaryside controlled power
supply. It features a free running 60-kHz to 360-kHz oscillator that is synchronizable to the secondary-side PWM
signal and also has the ability to accept start/stop PWM commands from the isolating pulse edge transformer.
The use of an extremely small and low-cost pulse transformer allows for higher converter bandwidth. This also
eliminates the loop-gain variations due to initial accuracy and aging of an opto-coupler feedback element or the
size penalty of a gate transformer. It also includes an undervoltage lockout circuit with 2-V hysteresis, a low
current startup with active low during UVLO, a soft-start capability, a 5-V reference and a high current power
output.
In a non-typical use, the UCC3960 can accommodate an analog feedback signal through an opto-isolator where
it can operate in voltage-mode control mode with primary-side peak current limiting.
The UCC3960 and the UCC2960 are available in the 8-pin SOIC (D) and PDIP (P) packages. A 14-pin package
version is available as UCC2961 and UCC3961 that includes additional protection features such as multimode
overcurrent protection, volt-second clamp, programmable overvoltage and undervoltage sense lines, and the
self-bias regulator.

detailed descriptions
current sense (CS)
This is the pulse-by-pulse and shutdown overcurrent sense input pin. This current-sense pin triggers a
pulse-by-pulse termination anytime a 1.0-V threshold is exceeded while a signal in excess of 1.375 V on this
pin initiates a complete shutdown. Since the CS pin can be noise sensitive, it is good practice to insert a small
low-pass RC filter between this pin and the current sensor.
feedback (FB)
This is the control input for the signal from a secondary-side PWM controller whose pulse-width command has
been differentiated by the feedback pulse edge transformer (PET) into positive
start and negative stop pulses.
These signals are used to turn on and off the primary power switch and must have an amplitude of at least
V
SS
2.0 V (4 V peak-to-peak) for at least 25 ns per pulse and no more than 200 ns per pulse. The maximum
amplitude allowed on this pin is V
SS
7.0 V.
output drive (OUT)
This drive pin for the Nchannel MOSFET power switch sinks (1.5 A) and sources (0.75 A) fast, high-current
gate drive pulses. During shutdown, this pin is selfbiased to an active low state. A minimum of 4 W should
be added in series with the output to ensure that the on-chip driver safe operating area is not exceeded. (Data
from the IRF820/830/840 family of MOSFETs, commonly available in the TO220 package, is used to derive
this value. The gate charge needed to provide full enhancement was used to establish an equivalent
capacitance of up to 4000 pF.)

ground (GND)
This pin is the reference point for grounding all analog functions and must be kept as clean as possible from
all switching noise. It should be closely bypassed to VDD.

which is mirrored internally for several functions. It establishes the freerunning startup switching frequency with

RT
The startup oscillator has a rise and fall time set to limit the duty-cycle of the power switch to a maximum of 72%,
a limit that is maintained even after the feedback signal takes command. The range of RT is 22.2 k
to 133 k
,
giving a free-run frequency range range of 60 kHz to 360 kHz, respectively. Variations in the free-running
oscillator frequency overtemperature are very small. The typical temperature coefficient is 40 Hz per degree
Celsius, measured at 150 kHz.
voltage reference (REF)
This 5-V output is usable with external loads of up to 10 mA. The voltage is also the source for all internal analog
threshold settings and should be bypassed with a minimum of 0.1-
F capacitance to GND.
soft-start (SS)
The pin implements the primary-side soft-start function. This is the connection point for an external capacitor
that determines the rate of increase in commanded pulse width for the power switch at startup. It also serves
as the ac ground return for the feedback pulse transformer to provide a tracking bias for the FB input.
power (VDD)
The power input connection for all the control circuitry conducts all the gate charge current for the power FET.
It should be closely bypassed with at least 1.0-
F to GND. This pin is internally shunt regulated to clamp at
17.5 V to protect the internal components. So if a voltage source above this value is possible, external current
limiting must be provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
startup oscillator
The RT pin is connected to an internal 2.0 V nominal, unity-gain closed-loop amplifier that is referenced to a
voltage divider off the 5.0-V reference. When a 22.2-k
resistor is connected from the RT pin to GND an
approximate I
RT
= 90 mA internal current is realized that charges the internal oscillator capacitor, approximately
58 pF. I
RT
= 90 mA produces a maximum free running oscillator frequency of 360 kHz at a 70% duty cycle.
When a 133.3-k
resistor is connected from the RT pin to GND an approximate I
RT
= 15 mA internal current
is realized, which produces a minimum free running oscillator frequency of 60 kHz at approximately 72% duty
cycle. This maximum duty cycle is setup by on-chip MOSFET current mirrors that are not programmable.
Any frequency between these two limits (6:1 maximum to minimum frequency) is obtainable by linearly scaling
the RT resistance between the minimum 22.2-k
and maximum 133.3-k
values. The secondary-side PWM
frequency should be fixed at (1 / 0.9) or 1.11 times the user programmed primary-side free running oscillator
frequency for proper primary-side synchronization. Therefore, in all cases the recommended secondary-side
synchronization frequency shall be 1.11 times higher than the selected primary-side free running startup
frequency. Taking into consideration the two extreme limits for primary-side free running startup frequency, the
secondary-side operating frequency should be set between 400 kHz and 67 kHz.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
soft-start
The soft-start section contains all the circuitry required to produce a user programmable slowly increasing PWM
duty cycle, starting from 0% to a maximum of 72%. The soft-start cycle is triggered either by the initial
primary-side startup procedure or after any one of three user-programmable fault conditions and one fixed fault
condition. The PWM duty cycle increases according to the charge rate of an user-selectable external soft-start
capacitor, connected from the SS pin to GND. The SS capacitor is charged by a nominal 7-
A internal current
source.
Should the CS pin rise in voltage above 1.375 V, a soft-start cycle is triggered. The soft-start cycle disables the
output driver OUT and holds it in the low state until the capacitor connected from the SS pin to GND is discharged
below 1.0 V by an internal 5-
A current sink. After this discharge period, the PMW output OUT is enabled and
the duty cycle is allowed to slowly increase as before.
synchronization
The SS pin and the FB pin accepts the secondary-side of a small signal synchronization transformer. A series
blocking capacitor inserted in the primary-side of the synchronization transformer is intended to differentiate the
square-wave gate drive output of the secondary-side PWM controller while preventing the transformer from
saturation. The soft-start capacitor also provides an ac GND at the SS pin or the synchronization transformer
secondary. The small signal synchronization transformer provides galvanic isolation between primary and
secondary side and must have adequate voltage breakdown rating between the primary and secondary
windings.
Two comparators, with an approximate 1.0-V offset each, are connected to the FB pin to provide plus and minus
differential voltage comparison with a 2.0-V deadband between the FB and SS pins. The 2.0-V deadband
prevents inductive backswing of the small-signal transformer from giving false secondary-side pulse-edge
detection.
Enough energy must be coupled into the comparator differential inputs to ensure reliable comparator switching.
This requires sufficient voltage overdrive above the 1.0-V comparator threshold and a specified transformer
circuit time constant to provide a minimum synchronization pulse width.
On receiving the first recognizable negative going voltage pulse (turnoff command) generated from the falling
edge of the differentiated square-wave gate drive signal on the secondary-side, the PWM latch is reset and a
synchronization latch is set. After this event, all primary-side PMW driver output is slaved to the secondary-side
driver output in both frequency and duty cycle. The triggering of a soft-start cycle by a fault condition resets the
synchronization latch to again allow the internal startup oscillator to control the PWM latch.
PWM
The PWM section consists of a reset dominant SR latch with necessary logical gating on the set input to allow
control from the free running startup oscillator until feedback from the secondary-side PWM gate drive output
is detected. After the occurrence of detectable feedback from the secondary-side gate driver, the control of the
primary-side PWM latch is handed off to the secondary-side PWM controller. A nine-input OR gate on the PWM
latch reset dominant input allows the numerous fault conditions to reset the PWM latch and control from either
the startup oscillator or feedback from the secondary-side PWM output driver.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
UVLO and REF
The under voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit enables normal operation after VDD exceeds the 10.0-V turnon
threshold and permits operation until VDD falls below the 8-V turnoff threshold. While activated, the UVLO circuit
holds the PWM gate driver output (OUT) and the internal-reference buffer amplifier output REF low. To insure
proper soft-start, internal N-channel MOSFET switches discharge external capacitor connected to the SS pin
during undervoltage conditions.
The 5-V internal reference is connected to the REF pin and must be bypassed using a good quality,
high-frequency capacitor. This 5-V reference is not available externally while the chip is disabled by the under
voltage lockout circuit.
current sense
The current sense (CS) circuit monitors the voltage across a ground referenced current sense resistor,
connected between the source of the external power MOSFET and GND. The signal amplitude at the CS pin
is compared to two thresholds, (1.0 V and 1.375 V respectively), by two independent voltage comparators.
A voltage level greater than 1.0 V, but less than 1.375 V, sets the reset dominant shutdown latch and resets the
PWM latch. The SD latch is reset when the startup oscillator arrives at its 4.0-V threshold.
During the OFF period of the PWM latch, any capacitance connected to the CS pin is discharged to GND
potential by an internal 800-
device.
VDD clamp
To insure that the absolute maximum voltage ratings of internal devices are not violated, an internal shunt
voltage regulator is provided to clamp the VDD pin at a nominal 17.5-V maximum voltage. Similarly to other
shunt or Zener-like voltage regulator circuits, the current through the internal VDD clamp must be limited below
the maximum current level indicated in the datasheet. In addition to limiting the current through the clamp circuit,
the maximum power dissipation capability of the particular package used in the application has to be
considered.
OUT driver
An internal output driver (OUT) is provided to drive the gate of an external Nchannel power MOSFET. The
output driver consists of a nominal 4.0-
ON-resistance P-channel MOSFET for turnon, and a nominal 2.0-
ON-resistance Dchannel MOSFET used during the turnoff of the external MOSFET transistor. An external
series gate resistance is specified to maintain an acceptable SOA (Safe Operating Area) for the DMOS device
of the internal output driver. As discussed in the UVLO section before, the under voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit
holds the PWM gate driver output low while UVLO conditions exists.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
pulse-edge transmission circuit
The UCC3960 uses a pulse-edge-transmission (PET) circuit to transmit isolated gate-pulse information from
the secondary-side controller. It is important for the PET circuitry to have proper frequency response and
adequately high damping (low Q-factor) in order to precent excessive overshoot. The circuit is shown in
Figure 3.

The pulse width measured at the FB pin must be less than 25 ns when measured at 1 V above the soft-start
voltage and 200 ns when measured at 1 V below the soft-start voltage. The feedback (FB) voltage must not be
overdriven by more than 5 V above or 5 V below the soft-start voltage. In order to prevent false triggering, the
feedback voltage must not ring below the soft-start voltage by more than
0.9 V. This can be met if the PET
