UC3844BD1

DC DC Switching Controllers

current-mode PWMSO-850% duty cycleUVLOMOSFET driver

UC3844BD1 is an 8-pin current-mode PWM controller for fixed-frequency switching supplies where a maximum 50% duty cycle is required.

Best for

  • Fixed-frequency current-mode power converters
  • Designs needing a maximum 50% duty cycle
  • N-channel MOSFET drive

Avoid if

  • The control supply cannot reach the UVLO start threshold
  • A duty cycle above 50% is required

Check before use

  • RT/CT oscillator setting
  • VCC start-up and auxiliary bias supply
  • Current-sense filtering and peak-current limit
  • Loop compensation
