Working Principles

The UC3854N is a high-performance PWM controller that regulates and controls the power supply in various applications. It operates by comparing the feedback voltage (VFB) with a reference voltage (VREF) to generate an error signal. This error signal is then amplified and used to control the duty cycle of the PWM output.

By adjusting the timing components (RT/CT), the switching frequency of the PWM can be set according to the application requirements. The soft-start and tracking control feature ensures a gradual and controlled power-up sequence, preventing excessive current surges.

The UC3854N also incorporates protection features such as overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and thermal shutdown. These safeguards help protect the power supply and connected devices from potential damage.
