Working Principles

The UC2855BN is a voltage mode PWM controller that regulates the output voltage of a power supply. It operates by comparing the feedback voltage (FB) with a reference voltage (VREF) and adjusts the duty cycle of the output waveform accordingly. This control mechanism ensures a stable and accurate output voltage.

The error amplifier amplifies the difference between the feedback voltage and the reference voltage, generating an error signal. This signal is then compared with a sawtooth waveform generated by the oscillator. The resulting PWM signal controls the switching of the power MOSFETs, which in turn regulate the output voltage.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The UC2855BN is widely used in various power supply applications, including:

1. Switching Power Supplies: Provides efficient voltage regulation in AC-DC and DC-DC converters.
