The UCC28510 series of combination PFC/PWM controllers provide complete control functionality for any off-line power system requiring compliance with the IEC1000–3–2 harmonic reduction requirements. By combining the control and drive signals for the PFC and the PWM stages into a single device, significant performance and cost benefits are gained. By managing the modulation mechanisms of the two stages (leading-edge modulation for PFC and trailing-edge modulation for PWM), the ripple current in the boost capacitor is minimized.

Based on the average current mode control architecture with input voltage feedforward of prior PFC/PWM combination controllers, these devices offer performance advantages. Two new key PWM features are programmable maximum duty cycle and the 2x PWM frequency options to the base PFC frequency.
