The UC1854 provides active power factor correction for power sys-
tems that otherwise would draw non-sinusoidal current from sinusoi-
dal power lines. This device implements all the control functions
necessary to build a power supply capable of optimally using available
p ower-line current while minimizing line-current d istortion. To do this,
the UC1854 contains a vo ltage amplifier, an analog multiplier/divider,
a current amplifier, and a fixed-frequency PWM. In addition, the
UC1854 contain s a powe r MOSFET compatible gate driver, 7.5V ref-
erence, line anticipator, load-enable comparator, low-supply detector,
and over -cu rrent comparator.
The UC1854 uses averag e current-mode control to accomplish fixed-
freque ncy current control with stability and low distortion. Unlike peak
cur rent-mode, average current control accurately maintains sinusoidal
l ine current without s lope compen s ation and w ith minimal res ponse t o
noise transients.
The UC1854’s high reference voltage and high oscillator amplitude
mi nimi ze noi se sensitivity while f ast PWM elements permit chopping
frequencies above 200kHz. The UC1854 can be used in single and
three pha se systems with line voltages that vary from 75 to 275 volts
a nd line frequencies across the 50Hz to 400H z range. To reduce the
bur den on the c ircuitry t hat suppl ies pow er to t his device, t he UC 1854
f eat ures low st arting supply current.
These devices are available packaged in 16-pin plastic and ceramic
dual in-line packages, and a variety of surface-mount packages.

ELECTRICAL
CHARACTERISTICS
3
Gnd (Pin 1) (ground): All vo ltages are measured with re-
spect to Gnd. VCC and REF sh ould be bypassed di rectly
t o Gnd wi th an 0.1µF or larger ceramic capacitor. The tim-
in g capacitor di scharge curr ent als o retur ns to this pi n, so
the lead from the oscillator timing capacitor to Gnd should
also be as short and as direct as possibl e.
PKLMT (Pin 2) (peak limit): The threshold for PKLMT is
0.0V. Connect this input to the negative voltage on the
cur r ent sense r es i s t or as shown i n Figure 1. Use a resis-
tor to REF to offset the negative current sense sig nal up
to Gnd.
CA Out (Pin 3) (current amplifier output): This is the out-
put of a wide-band width op a mp that senses line current
and com m ands the pul se w idt h mo dulator (P WM) t o force
the co rrect curren t. T his output can swing close to Gnd,
allowing the PWM to force zero duty cycle when neces-
sary . The current amplif ier will remain active even if the IC
is dis able d. The curre nt amplifier output stage is an NPN
emitter follower pull-up and an 8k resistor to ground.
ISENSE (Pi n 4) (curr ent sense m inu s ): Thi s is the inv erting
input to the current amplifier. This input and the non-in-
ver t ing input M ul t Out r emain f unct ional down to and be-
low Gnd. Care should be taken to avoid taking these
inputs below –0.5V, because they are protected with di-
odes to Gnd.
Mult Out (Pin 5) (multiplier output and current sense
plus): The output of the analog multiplier and the non-in-
verting input of the current amplifier are connected to-
gether at Mult Out. The cautions about taking ISENSE
bel ow –0.5V als o apply to Mult Out. As t he m ul ti plier out -
put is a cu rrent , this is a high imp edance input similar to
ISENSE, so the current amplifier can be configured as a
differential amplifier to reject Gnd noise. Figure 1 shows
an exam ple of using the current amplifier dif fer entially .
IAC (Pin 6) (input AC current): This input to the analog
multiplier is a current. The multiplier is tailored for very
low distortion from this current input (IAC) to Mult Out, so
this is the only multiplier input that should be used for
sensing instantaneous line voltage. The nominal voltage
on IAC is 6V, so in addition to a resistor from IAC to recti -
f ied 60Hz , connect a resist or fr om I AC to REF. If the resis-
tor to REF is one fourth o f th e val ue of the resistor to the
rectifier, then the 6V offset will be cancel led, and the line
curr ent will have minimal cross-over distortion.
VA Ou t ( Pi n 7) ( voltage am pli fi er out put): This i s the out -
put of the op amp t hat regulates outpu t voltage. Like the
current amplifier, the voltage amplifier will stay active
even if the IC is disabled with either ENA or VCC. This
means that large feedback capacitor s across the amplifier
will stay ch ar ged thro ugh moment ary disable cycles. Volt -
age a mplifier output levels bel ow 1V will inhibit multiplier
out put . The volt age am plif ier output is i nternall y limi ted to
approximately 5.8V to prevent overshoot. The voltage
ampl ifier ou tpu t stage is an NPN emitt er follower p ull-up
and an 8k re sistor to ground.
VRMS (Pin 8) (RMS line voltage): The output of a boost
PWM is propor tional to the input voltage, so when the line
voltage into a low-bandwidth boost PWM voltage regula-
tor changes, the output will change immediately and
slowly recove r to the regula ted le vel. Fo r these devices,
t he VRMS input com pensat es for li ne volt age changes if it
is connected to a voltage proportional to the RMS input
line voltage. For best control, the VRMS voltage should
stay between 1.5V and 3.5V.
REF (Pin 9) (vol tag e reference output): R EF is the output
of an accurate 7.5V voltage reference. This output is ca-
pab le of delive ring 10mA to peripheral circuitry a nd is in-
ternally short circuit current limited. REF is disabled and
will remain at 0V when VCC is low or when ENA is low.
Byp ass REF to Gnd with an 0.1µF or l arger ceramic ca-
pacitor f or best st ability.
ENA (Pin 10) (enable): ENA is a logic input that will en-
able the PWM output, voltage reference, and oscillator.
ENA also wi ll r eleas e t he soft star t c lamp, all owin g SS to
rise. When unused, connect ENA to a +5V supply or pull
ENA high w it h a 22k r esist or. The ENA pin is not int ended
t o be used as a high speed shu tdow n to t he PWM output.
VSENSE (Pin 11) ( voltage ampl ifier inver ti ng input) : Thi s is
normally connected to a feedback network and to the
boost conver t er output through a divider network .
RSET (Pin 12) (oscillator charging current and multiplier
limit set): A resistor from RSET to gr ound w ill pro gram os-
cillator charging current and maximum multiplier output.
Multiplier output current will not exceed 3.75 V divided by
the resistor from RSET to ground.
SS ( Pi n 13) (soft start ): SS will r emain at Gnd as long as
the IC is disabled or VCC is too low. SS will pull up to over
8V by an internal 14µA current source when both VCC be-
com es vali d and t he I C is enabl ed. SS w il l act as t he r ef-
erence input to the vol tage amplifier if SS is below REF.
With a large capacitor from SS to Gnd, the reference to
the voltage regulating amplifier will rise slowly, and in-
crease the PWM duty cycle slowly. In the event of a dis-
able command or a supply dropout, SS will quickly
discharge to ground and disable the PWM.
CT (Pin 14) (osci llator timing capacitor): A capacitor from
CT to Gnd will set the P WM osci llator frequency accord-
ing to this relatio nship:
F
= 1.25
R
SET
×
C
T
VCC (Pin 15) (positive supply voltage) : Connect VCC to a
st abl e s our ce of at least 20m A above 17V for norm al op-
eration. Also bypass VCC directly to Gnd to absorb supply
cur r ent spikes re quired to charge ex te rnal M OSF ET gate
capacitances. To prevent inadequate GT Drv signals,
these devices will be inhibited unless VCC exceeds the
upper under-voltage lockout threshold and remains
above the low er threshol d.

GT Drv (Pin 16) ( gate d rive): The output of the PWM is a
t otem pole MO SFET gate driv er on GT Drv. This outp ut is
internally clamped to 15V so th at the IC ca n be operated
wi th VCC as hig h as 35V. Us e a ser i es gate r es is tor of at
least 5 ohms to preve nt interac tion between the gate im-
pedance and the GT Drv output driver that might cause
the GT Drv output to overshoot excessively. Some over-
shoot of the GT Drv output is always e xpected when dr iv-
ing a capacitive load.

APPLICAT IONS INFORMATI ON
A 250W PREREG ULATO R
The circu it of Figure 1 shows a typical ap plication of the
UC3854 as a preregulator with high power factor and effi-
ciency. The assembly consists of two distinct parts, the
control circuit centering on the UC3854 and the power
section.
The p ower section is a "boo st" co nverte r, with the ind uc-
tor operating in the continuous mode. In this mode, the
duty cycle is dependent on the ratio between input and
output voltage s; also, the input current has low sw itching
frequency ripple, which means that the line noise is low.
Furt hermore, the o utput voltage must be higher than the
peak valu e of the h ighe st e xpected A C line voltage, and
all components must be rated accor dingly .
In the control section, the UC3854 provides PWM pulses
(GT Drv, Pin 16) to the power MOSFET gate. The duty
cycle of this output is simultaneously controlled by four
separ ate inputs to the chip:

Additional controls of an auxiliary nature are provided.

PROTECTION INPUTS
ENA (Enable): The ENA input must reach 2.5 volts be-
fore the REF and GT Drv ou tputs are enabled. Thi s pro-
vides a means to shut down the gate in case of trouble, or
to add a time delay at power up. A hysteresis gap of
200mV is provided at this terminal to prevent erratic op-
eration. Undervoltage protection is provided directly at pin
15, where the on/off thresholds are 16V and 10V. If the
ENA input is unused, it should be pulled up to VCC
through a cu rrent limitin g resist or of 100k.
SS (Soft start): The voltage at pin 13 (SS) can reduce
the refe rence vol tage used by the error amplifier to regu-
late the output DC voltage. With pin 13 open, the refer-
ence vol tage is ty pically 7. 5V. An i nt er nal cur r ent sourc e
del iver s appr oxim ately -14µA f r om pin 13. Thus a capaci-
tor connected between that pin and ground will charge
linearly from zero to 7.5V in 0.54C seconds, with C ex-
pressed in microfarads.
PKLIM (Peak current limit): Use pin 2 to establish the
highest value of current to be controlled by the power
MOS FET. With th e r esi s t or di vider val ues sh own in Figure
1, the 0. 0V th res hold at pin 2 is rea ched wh en t he volt age
drop across the 0.25 ohm current sense resistor is
7. 5V*2k/ 10k=1.5V, cor respond ing to 6A. A bypass capaci-
t or from pi n 2 t o gr ound is r ecom m ended to fil ter out v er y
high frequency noise.
CONTROL INPUTS
VSENSE (O utput D C voltage sense): The thresh old voltage
for the VSENSE input is 7.5V and the input bias current is
typically 50nA. The values shown in Figure 1 are for an
out put voltage of 400V DC. I n t his circuit, the voltage am-
plifier operates with a constant low frequency gain for
mini m um output excursions . The 47nF fe edbac k capacitor
places a 15Hz pole in the voltage loop that prevents
120H z ripple from propagating to the i nput curr ent .
IAC (Line waveform): In order to force the line current
waveshape to follow the line voltage, a sample of the
power line voltage in waveform is introduced at pin 6. This
signal is multiplied by the output of the voltage amplifier in
the internal multiplier to generate a reference signal for
the current contr ol loop.
This input is not a voltage, but a current (hence IAC). It is
set up by the 220k a nd 910k resistive divider (see Figure
1). The voltage at pin 6 is internally held at 6V, and the
two resistors are chosen so that the current flowing into
pin 6 varies from zero (at each zero crossing) to about
400µA at the peak of the waveshape. The following for-
mulas were used to calculate these resistors:

(where Vpk is the peak line voltage)
ISENSE/Mult Out (L ine current): The v oltage dr op acr os s
the 0.25 ohm current-sense resistor is applied to pins 4
and 5 as shown. The current-sense amplifier also oper-
ates with high low-frequency gain, but unlike the voltage
ampli fi er, it is set up to give the cur rent-contr ol loop a very
wide bandwidth. This enables the line current to foll ow the
line v oltage as close ly a s poss ible. In the present exam-
ple, this a mplifier has a zero at about 500Hz, a nd a gain
of about 18dB thereafter.
VRMS (RMS line voltage): An important feature of the
UC3854 pr er egulat or is t hat i t can operate with a three- to-
one range of i nput li ne voltag es, cover ing every t hing from
low line in the US (85VAC) to high line in Europe
(255VAC). This is done using line feedforward, which
keeps the input power constant with varying input voltage
(assum ing c onsta nt load power ) . To do this, t he mul tiplier
divides t he li ne current by the squar e of the RM S value of
th e line v ol tage. The v oltage applied to pin 8, pr opor tiona l
to the average of the rectified line voltage (and propor-
tional to the RMS value), is squared in the UC3854, and
then used as a divisor by the multiplier block. The multi-
plier ou tpu t, at p in 5, is a current that increases with the
curre nt at pin 6 and the voltage at pins 7, and decreases
wi th the square of the voltage at pin 8.
PWM FREQUENCY: The PWM oscillator frequency in

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
