Working Principles

The UC2903Q is a power supply controller that regulates and controls the power supply in various applications. It utilizes an error amplifier, voltage reference, and feedback mechanism to maintain a stable output voltage. The IC compares the feedback voltage with the reference voltage and adjusts the duty cycle of the internal PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controller accordingly. This control mechanism ensures that the output voltage remains within the desired range, even under varying load conditions.
