UC3844AN Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The UC3844AN from Unitrode is a high-performance current mode PWM controller optimized for off-line and DC-DC converter applications. This device features a maximum switching frequency of 500kHz and a maximum duty cycle of 50%, making it suitable for efficient power supply designs.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a low start-up current of less than 0.5mA and a trimmed oscillator discharge current of 8.3mA. It also incorporates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis, typically set at 16V/10V, ensuring reliable operation under varying input conditions. The controller supports multiple topologies including Boost, Buck, Buck-Boost, Flyback, and Forward configurations.

 

Available in SOIC and PDIP packages, the UC3844AN offers features such as adjustable switching frequency, current limiting, dead time control, and an error amplifier. Its high-current totem pole output and internally trimmed bandgap reference contribute to its robust performance in demanding applications. The device is designed for operation within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
