Working Principles

The UC3855ADWTRG4 is a PWM controller designed for switching power supplies. It operates by modulating the width of the output pulses based on the feedback voltage and current sense input. This allows for precise control of the output voltage and current.

The device uses an internal oscillator to generate a sawtooth waveform, which is compared with the feedback voltage to determine the duty cycle of the output pulses. The duty cycle controls the amount of time the power switch is on, regulating the output voltage.

The UC3855ADWTRG4 also features overcurrent protection, which shuts down the power switch if the current exceeds a certain threshold. Additionally, it includes a soft-start function to gradually ramp up the output voltage during startup, reducing stress on the components.
