Introduction to UC3843
Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. I am going to give you the detailed discussion about
Introduction to UC3843 today. UC 843 is basically a current mode Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller having fixed frequency. It is basically designed for DC to DC converter purposes as well as off line applications and it requires minimum external components. UC-3843 has three different packages which will be explained later.
UC-3843 has several different features which make it ideal and useful for a lot of real life applications. These features may include trimmed oscillator for the control of accurate duty cycle, high gain amplifier and to control power MOSFET, there is a high current totem-pole output. Moreover, some other features include temperature compensated reference and current sensing. UC 3843 can be used at several different places e.g.in switching regulators having any of the polarities as well as in transformer coupled DC to DC converters. The further detail about UC-3843 will be given later in this tutorial.
Introduction to UC3843
UC3843 is basically a current mode Pulse Width Modulation controller. It is specially designed for DC to DC converters and off line application purposes. This device performs its tasks with minimal requirement of external components to avoid complexity. It is most common due to its unique features including current sensing, high gain amplifiers, high current totem-pole out for the control of MOSFET. UC-3843 can be used in transformer coupled DC to DC converters etc. UC-3843 is shown in the figure given below.
