UCC28C42DR Übersicht

The Texas Instruments UCC28C42DR is a high-performance, low-power current-mode PWM controller designed for DC-DC switching power supply applications. It belongs to the UCCx8C4x BiCMOS family, which offers pin-for-pin compatibility with the industry-standard UCx84xA and UCx84x PWM controller families, allowing direct upgrades in existing designs. The device is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package for industrial temperature ranges.

A current-mode PWM controller is an integrated circuit that regulates switching power supply output voltage by controlling the duty cycle of a power switch based on both the voltage error signal and the inductor current. Compared with voltage-mode controllers, the dual-loop current-mode architecture provides better line and load regulation, inherent cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, and simpler loop compensation. Current-mode controllers are the standard choice in AC-DC adapters, flyback converters, and isolated power supplies.

Key features include a 20V supply voltage rating, 1A peak gate-drive output current, and a maximum switching frequency of 1000 kHz. The UCC28C42 version provides a 14.5V startup (on) and 9V minimum operating (off) UVLO threshold with 100% duty cycle capability. BiCMOS technology reduces startup and operating current, improving efficiency over bipolar predecessors while supporting faster current-sense and oscillator operation.

Internally, the device integrates a precision oscillator (programmable via RT/CT components), an error amplifier, a current-sense comparator, a 5V reference (2% accuracy), and a totem-pole output driver. Cycle-by-cycle current limiting protects the external MOSFET during faults.

Typical applications include flyback converters, boost converters, and forward converters in industrial power supplies, telecom auxiliary rails, and AC-DC adapters. Its low quiescent current suits off-line auxiliary supplies where standby efficiency matters.

Design tip: keep current-sense and gate-drive traces short to minimize parasitic inductance, place RT/CT timing components close to pin 4, and add at least 0.1uF of bypass capacitance at VCC. Pricing as of 2026-08-29.

⚡

Off-line Flyback AC-DC Adapter

The UCC28C42DR is a standard choice for off-line flyback adapters because its 14.5V/9V UVLO works with a bootstrap startup resistor and transformer aux winding: VCC charges through the resistor until 14.5V triggers startup, and the aux winding sustains operation above 9V. The 1000 kHz capability allows compact transformer designs, while cycle-by-cycle current limiting through the CS pin protects the primary MOSFET during overload or short circuit. BiCMOS low startup current reduces no-load losses, helping adapters meet standby power targets without extra circuitry.

🏭

Industrial Power Supplies

In industrial switch-mode supplies, the UCC28C42DR's -40C to +85C industrial temperature range and 20V maximum supply rating suit harsh environments. It is used in boost and forward converter rails feeding PLCs, motor drives, and instrumentation. The 5V reference with 2% accuracy provides a stable error-amp reference for tight output regulation, while the current-mode architecture gives good line rejection against noisy industrial buses. Its pin compatibility with UC384x legacy parts makes it a low-risk efficiency upgrade for existing industrial boards without PCB changes.

🌐

Telecom Auxiliary Rails

Telecom systems use the UCC28C42DR to generate auxiliary 12V or 5V rails from higher buses via flyback or boost stages. The 14.5V/9V UVLO ensures the controller does not start until the bus is valid, and the 100% duty-cycle capability supports boost topologies operating at high step-up ratios. Low operating current keeps auxiliary supply efficiency high, which matters when the aux rail runs continuously even when the main output is disabled. The 8-SOIC package fits density-constrained line cards and small base-station power modules.

💡

Boost Converters

With 100% maximum duty cycle and 1000 kHz operation, the UCC28C42DR fits boost converters raising low input voltages such as 12V industrial rails to higher outputs. Current-mode control simplifies compensation to a single dominant pole and provides inherent cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection that limits inductor current during startup inrush. The 1A peak totem-pole output drives N-channel MOSFET gates directly, and the 2%-accurate 5V reference supports tight output voltage accuracy across load and temperature in battery-charging and LED driver front ends.

🔧

Standby and Auxiliary Supplies

The UCC28C42DR's BiCMOS process delivers low startup and quiescent current, making it suitable for standby power stages that must meet energy-efficiency requirements. In these designs, the controller starts from a high-value bootstrap resistor, then the aux winding supplies the IC, so minimizing startup current directly reduces standby power draw. Designers typically set frequency via RT/CT at moderate levels (65-130 kHz) to trade switching losses against transformer size. Cycle-by-cycle current sense keeps fault current bounded during brownout events and output short conditions.

🖥️

Forward Converters

For medium-power forward converters in industrial and server aux supplies, the UCC28C42DR provides the peak current-mode control needed for tight transformer flux balance. Where 50% duty-cycle clamping is required to guarantee core reset, the pin-compatible UCC28C43DR or UCC28C44DR can be used on the same footprint. The 1A output stage rapidly discharges the MOSFET gate to minimize switching loss, and the 1000 kHz oscillator supports high-frequency designs that shrink magnetics. Standard 8-SOIC layout practices with short CS traces preserve current-sense accuracy.

What is the maximum switching frequency of UCC28C42DR?
The UCC28C42DR supports a maximum switching frequency of 1000 kHz. According to TI datasheet for the UCCx8C4x family, the BiCMOS oscillator enables faster frequency operation than the bipolar UC384x predecessors, allowing smaller magnetics and capacitors in flyback and boost designs while reducing startup current.
What are the key specifications of UCC28C42DR?
The UCC28C42DR is a 20V, 1A, BiCMOS low-power current-mode PWM controller in 8-pin SOIC. Key specs: 14.5V/9V UVLO thresholds, 100% duty cycle capability, 1000 kHz max frequency, 5V reference with 2% accuracy, pin-for-pin compatible with UCx84xA/UCx84x families. Source: TI datasheet and TI.com product page.
What is the difference between UCC28C42 and UCC28C43?
The difference is the UVLO thresholds and duty cycle. The UCC28C42 uses 14.5V/9V UVLO with 100% duty cycle, while the UCC28C43 uses 8.4V/7.6V UVLO with 50% maximum duty cycle. Both share the same 8-SOIC package and pinout, so the choice depends on whether your circuit needs higher startup threshold or duty-cycle clamping.
What is the price of UCC28C42DR?
As of 2026-08-29, UCC28C42DR pricing starts around $0.29 at 1000 units (LCSC lists from $0.2910) and approximately $0.62 at single-unit quantity. Mouser and DigiKey also stock the part. Volume pricing typically steps down at 10, 100, 500, and 1000 piece breaks.

The UC3842 can replace it on the same footprint, but the BiCMOS part offers lower startup current, lower power consumption, and faster current-sense/oscillator operation, so verify UVLO threshold differences first.
What is the best drop-in replacement for UCC28C42DR?
The best drop-in replacements are family members UCC28C43DR, UCC28C44DR, and UCC28C45DR, which share the same 8-SOIC package and pinout with different UVLO/duty-cycle configurations. For identical UVLO behavior, the UCC38C42DR (commercial temperature grade) or the AEC-Q100 qualified UCC28C42QDRQ1 are drop-in matches on the same footprint.
Is UCC28C42DR the same as UC3842ADR?
They are functionally very similar but not identical. Both are 8-pin SOIC current-mode PWM controllers with the same pinout, but UCC28C42DR uses BiCMOS technology with lower startup/operating current and faster oscillator capability, while UC3842ADR is the older bipolar process.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale

  • 100% duty cycle capability (vs. UCC28C43DR)
  • BiCMOS low power consumption (vs. UC3842ADR)
  • Industrial temperature range standard (vs. UCC38C42DR)

Designhinweise

Keep the current-sense (CS) trace short and route it away from the gate-drive (OUT) trace to avoid false triggering from gate current transients. Use a small RC filter (e.g., 100 ohm / 100 pF) on CS if leading-edge spikes cause premature termination. Place RT/CT timing components close to pin 4, and ground them to a quiet analog ground point near pin 5.

Add at least 0.1uF ceramic bypass capacitance directly at VCC (pin 7) to GND, plus 10uF bulk if the aux winding is far away. Startup via bootstrap resistor: the resistor value must supply less than the startup current at minimum line voltage while allowing VCC to reach 14.5V. Verify the aux winding keeps VCC above 9V UVLO-off at all loads including light-load skip conditions.

Do not confuse family UVLO variants: the UCC28C42 (14.5V/9V) will not start from low-voltage aux rails designed for UCC28C43 (8.4V/7.6V). Also, VREF (pin 8) is a 5V output, not a supply input - connecting it to a source will damage the part. Maximum VCC is 20V; clamp transients on poorly regulated aux windings with a zener.
