UC3844AD8 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The UC3844AD8 from Texas Instruments is a current mode Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller. It is optimized for off-line and DC-DC converter applications, offering features such as adjustable switching frequency up to 500kHz and a maximum duty cycle of 48%.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a wide operating voltage range of 10V to 30V and a standard operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device incorporates several control features like frequency control, pulse-by-pulse current limiting, and undervoltage lockout with hysteresis. It also provides a high-current totem pole output and an internally-trimmed bandgap reference.

 

This controller is available in an 8-SOIC package, suitable for surface mount applications. Its design facilitates step-up, step-down, and step-up/step-down topologies, making it versatile for various power supply designs. The UC3844AD8 is an improved version of the UCx84x family, featuring low start-up current and enhanced load response characteristics.
