Working Principles

The UC3855ADWG4 is a high-performance PWM controller that regulates and controls power in various applications. It operates by comparing the feedback voltage (FB) with a reference voltage to generate a precise error signal. This error signal is then used to adjust the duty cycle of the output waveform, controlling the power delivered to the load.

The IC incorporates protection features such as overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature protection to safeguard the system from potential faults or failures. The soft-start and shutdown control gradually ramps up the output voltage during startup and ensures a controlled shutdown process.

Synchronization input allows multiple UC3855ADWG4 devices to operate in a synchronized manner, enabling multi-phase power delivery for higher power applications.
