Working Principles

The UC3848DWG4 is a pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller that regulates the power delivery in various applications. It operates by comparing the feedback voltage with a reference voltage and adjusting the duty cycle of the output waveform accordingly. By controlling the duty cycle, the IC regulates the average output voltage or current.

The IC utilizes a voltage mode control scheme, where the error amplifier compares the feedback voltage with the reference voltage. The resulting error signal is then processed by the PWM comparator, which generates the necessary control signals to drive the power switches. This control mechanism ensures accurate regulation of the output voltage or current.
