Working Principles

The UC3844ADTRG4 is a voltage mode PWM controller that regulates the output voltage of power supplies. It operates by comparing the feedback voltage (FB) with a reference voltage (VREF) and adjusting the duty cycle of the output signal accordingly. The error amplifier (COMP) amplifies the difference between FB and VREF, providing precise regulation.

The internal oscillator generates a sawtooth waveform, which is compared with the amplified error signal to generate the PWM output. By adjusting the timing components (RT/CT), the frequency and duty cycle of the PWM signal can be customized.

During startup, the soft-start function gradually increases the duty cycle to prevent excessive inrush current. The UC3844ADTRG4 also incorporates overcurrent protection and under-voltage lockout features to safeguard the power supply and connected devices.
