Expanding its portfolio of high-voltage power solutions for offline AC/DC designs, Texas Instruments today introduced a 700 V switcher with the industry's lowest quiescent current of less than 100 µA – half the power consumption of existing solutions. The UCC28880 controller integrates a 700 V power MOSFET and high-voltage current source, increasing overall energy efficiency of "always-on" non-isolated power systems with output currents up to 100 mA, such as smart meters, home automation equipment and white goods.
The UCC28880 high-voltage switcher reduces system cost and minimizes the overall size of the power supply, while maintaining high efficiency and system performance. Designers can use the switcher to build different converter topologies, such as buck, buck-boost and flyback, without adding extra semiconductor components.

Key features and benefits of the UCC28880
- Industry's lowest power consumption:
As the load is reduced, the quiescent current is reduced to below 100 µA;
- Reduces application size and overall system cost:
The circuit integrates a 700 V MOSFET, start-up current source and internal current sensing in a tiny 7-pin SO package size of 29.4 mm2. Additionally, no external compensation is needed which further reduces component count and board space;
- Excellent system performance under excessive currents:
Along with current limit function, the controller's inductor current runaway protection helps protect against under load short-circuit conditions to ensure design reliability;
- Thermal protection:
The device provides over-temperature protection with hysteretic re-start for safe operation;
- Increased creepage and clearance:
High-voltage pins are segregated to one side of the package, which maximizes separation between low and high voltage pins.
An offline, AC/DC reference design based on the UCC28880 (PMP8550) enables designers to quickly design a low-cost, low-power non-isolated high-side buck converter with a total solution size of 38 mm by 32 mm by 22 mm that supports 13 V, while generating up to 100 mA of output current. The reference design features a buck converter with integrated switch and can be used in numerous industrial applications. The design's schematic, CAD files and test results are available for download.
