FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• Controls Zero Current Switched (ZCS) The UC1861-1868 family of ICs is optimized for the control of Zero Cur-
or Zero Voltage Switched (ZVS)
Quasi-Resonant Converters
rent Switched and Zero Voltage Switched quasi-resonant converters. Dif-
ferences between members of this device family result from the various
combinations of UVLO thresholds and output options. Additionally, the
one-shot pulse steering logic is configured to program either on-time for
ZCS systems (UC1865-1868), or off-time for ZVS applications (UC1861-
1864).
• Zero-Crossing Terminated One-Shot

• Precision 1%, Soft-Started 5V
Reference
The primary control blocks implemented include an error amplifier to com-
pensate the overall system loop and to drive a voltage controlled oscillator
(VCO), featuring programmable minimum and maximum frequencies. Trig-
gered by the VCO, the one-shot generates pulses of a programmed maxi-
mum width, which can be modulated by the Zero Detection comparator.
This circuit facilitates “true” zero current or voltage switching over various
line, load, and temperature changes, and is also able to accommodate the
resonant components' initial tolerances.

Under-Voltage Lockout is incorporated to facilitate safe starts upon
power-up. The supply current during the under-voltage lockout period is
typically less than 150µA, and the outputs are actively forced to the low
