The UC3843ANG4 is a high-performance current mode PWM controller manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is designed for off-line and DC-to-DC converter applications offering the designer a cost-effective solution with minimal external components. This integrated circuit provides all the necessary features to implement fixed-frequency, current-mode control schemes with a minimal external parts count.

Key Features

• Trimmed Oscillator for Precise Frequency Control: The oscillator frequency is precisely trimmed to ensure accurate and consistent operation of the PWM controller across various conditions.
• Oscillator Frequency Guaranteed at 250kHz: The UC3843ANG4 guarantees an oscillator frequency of 250kHz, which is optimal for a wide range of power supply applications.
• Current Mode Operation to 500kHz: The controller can operate at frequencies up to 500kHz, allowing for the design of compact and efficient power supplies.
• Automatic Feed Forward Compensation: This feature enhances the performance by compensating for varying input voltages without the need for additional circuitry.
• Pulse-by-Pulse Current Limiting: The UC3843ANG4 is equipped with an integrated current limit feature to protect the power supply components from overcurrent conditions.
• Enhanced Load Response Characteristics: The device offers improved load response characteristics, which is critical for maintaining output voltage stability under dynamic load conditions.
• Under-Voltage Lockout with Hysteresis: A built-in under-voltage lockout with hysteresis ensures that the device operates only when the supply voltage is within an acceptable range.
• Double Pulse Suppression: This feature prevents erroneous operation and enhances system reliability by suppressing double pulses.
