Overview

The UC2843ADTR is a high-performance current-mode PWM controller designed for off-line and DC-DC converter applications. It features a high-speed oscillator capable of 500kHz operation, a high-current totem pole output for driving external MOSFETs, and comprehensive protection features like pulse-by-pulse current limiting.

Why Choose This Part

This controller offers optimized feedforward compensation and enhanced load response characteristics for stable power delivery. Its low 300uA standby current and undervoltage lockout with hysteresis ensure efficient and reliable operation across varying input conditions.

Applications

Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
Utilized in high-efficiency AC-DC converters where current-mode control provides superior line and load regulation.
DC-DC Converters
Ideal for boost, buck, flyback, and forward converter topologies in industrial power systems.
Industrial Power Supply Units
Used in rugged environments requiring a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius.
Battery Operated PSU
The low start-up current of less than 0.5mA makes it suitable for power-sensitive battery applications.
