Working Principles

The UC3843ADTRG4 operates on the principle of current mode control. It compares the sensed current with a reference voltage and adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM signal accordingly. This regulates the output voltage by controlling the power delivered to the load.

During operation, the error amplifier compares the feedback voltage (FB) with the reference voltage (VREF). Any difference between these voltages is amplified and used to adjust the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The current sense input (CS) monitors the current flowing through the power supply, providing feedback for stable regulation.
