UC3844 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The UC3844 is a versatile current-mode Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller designed by STMicroelectronics for efficient operation in offline and DC-to-DC converter applications. It requires minimal external components for implementation.

 

Key electrical specifications include an operating voltage range of 12V to 28V and a maximum switching frequency of 500 kHz. The controller supports a maximum duty cycle of 100% and features a high-current totem-pole output capable of driving a Power MOSFET. It also includes under-voltage lockout (UVLO) thresholds at 16V (on) and 10V (off) with hysteresis.

 

This PWM controller is optimized for various power supply designs, offering features such as automatic feed-forward compensation, pulse-by-pulse current limiting, and enhanced load response characteristics. The UC3844 is housed in a 14-SOIC surface-mount package and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

 

Its design incorporates an internally trimmed bandgap reference and a low-offset error amplifier, contributing to precise control and stable operation. The device is suitable for applications requiring efficient power conversion and robust performance.
