This pin is used to stabilize the control loop with an external capacitor or resistor network. 5 GND Ground. Connect this pin to the system ground to complete the circuit. 6 OUT PWM output pin. Drives the external transistor (typically an N-channel MOSFET or bipolar junction transistor) in switching applications. 7 REXT External resistor connection for timing and frequency setting. Used to set the oscillator frequency of the controller. 8 CT Capacitor input for the internal timing circuit. A capacitor connected here sets the oscillation frequency with the resistor connected at pin 7.Circuit Principle Instructions
The UC2843BD1R2G operates by generating a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal, which is then used to drive a power transistor or MOSFET. The core of the functionality includes the error amplifier, oscillator, and PWM logic, which are typically used in DC-DC converter topologies like flyback, buck, or boost converters.
Error Amplifier (pins 2 and 3): This section compares the input voltage from the feedback network (IN+) with a reference voltage at IN- and adjusts the output based on the difference (error signal). Oscillator Circuit (pins 7 and 8): The timing capacitor (CT) and resistor (REXT) set the switching frequency for the PWM controller. PWM Generation (pin 6): The output at pin 6 is a duty cycle modulated pulse that drives the external switching transistor. The duty cycle varies depending on the feedback from the output voltage.Pin Function FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
