Texas Instruments' UCC28950 enhanced, phase-shifted controller builds upon Texas Instruments' industry standard UCCx895 phase-shifted controller family with enhancements that offer best in class efficiency in today’s high performance power systems. The UCC28950 implements advanced control of the full-bridge along with active control of the synchronous rectifier output stage.
The primary-side signals allow programmable delays to ensure ZVS operation over wide-load current and input voltage range, while the load current naturally tunes the secondary-side synchronous rectifiers switching delays, maximizing overall system efficiency. The UCC28950 also offers multiple light-load management features including burst mode and dynamic SR on/off control when transitioning in and out of Discontinuous Current Mode (DCM) operation, ensuring ZVS operation is extended down to much lighter loads.
