The UCC3803PWTR from Texas Instruments is a highly efficient, low-power, BiCMOS current-mode pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller designed for a wide array of power supply applications. Incorporating an array of features to enhance system reliability and performance, this controller is optimized for off-line and DC-to-DC converter applications that require a minimal standby power consumption.
Key Features:
- Current-Mode Control: Provides improved transient response and simplifies loop compensation.
- Low Startup and Operating Current: The device starts up at below 0.5 mA and operates at a low current of 2.5 mA, making it ideal for power-efficient designs.
- Automatic Feed-Forward Compensation: Enhances performance over a wide input voltage range.
- Pulse-by-Pulse Current Limiting: Protects the controller in over-current conditions.
- Frequency Jittering: Reduces EMI emissions and helps in meeting regulatory standards.
- Trimmed Oscillator Discharge Current: Ensures precise duty cycle clamping.
- Error Amplifier: Features a 2 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 1 V/µs slew rate which provides tight regulation and fast response to load transients.
- Soft Start: Minimizes stress on the power supply during startup.
Applications:
- Off-line power supplies
- DC-to-DC converters
- Portable devices
- Green-mode power supplies
- Telecommunication equipment
