FAQ about UC3842AN

Is the uc3842 IC a current mode controller?

Note: Complete Technical Details can be found at the UC3842 datasheet given at the end of this page. The UC3842 IC is a current Mode PWM Controller, meaning it can be used to provide a constant current by varying the output voltage to the load.

 

Is the uc3842 output driver biased to a high impedance?

During UVLO, the UC3842 output driver is biased to a high impedance state. However, leakage currents (up to 10 µA), if not shunted to ground, could pull high the gate of a POWERMOS. A 100 k Ω shunt, as showing in figure 6, will hold the gate voltage below 1V. APPLICATION NOTE 3/16

 

What is the under voltage lockout on uc3842?

UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO) This circuit insures that VCCis adequate to make the UC3842 fully operational before enabling the output stage. Figure 5a shows that the UVLO turn-on and turn-off thresholds are fixed internally at 16 V and 10 V respectively. The 6 V hysteresis prevents VCC oscillations during power sequencing.

 

How is the peak current determined in uc3842?

UC3842 Block Diagram. Current limiting is simplified with current-mode con- trol. Pulse-by-pulse limiting is, of course, inherent in the control scheme. Furthermore, an upper limit on the peak current can be established by simply clam- ping the error voltage.

 

What is the use of PWM in SMPS?

PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) power supplies are a type of switching power supply. Pulse Width Modulation is generally used to help regulate the voltage in a switching power supply. This is necessary when the current demand on the power supply or the charging system's supply voltage is not constant.

 

How is power control done using PWM?

Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is a commonly used technique for controlling power made practical by modern electronic power switches. The average value of voltage (and current) fed to the load is controlled by turning the (transistor) switch between supply and load on and off at a fast pace.

 

What is the advantage of using SMPS?

The device is used in SMPS is compact and very small in sizeThe manufacturing cost is reducedProvide isolation between multiple outputLow power wastage.

 

How does SMPS power supply works?

SMPS works by turning the main power on and off at a high speed to reduce the voltage. In such a case the reduction in voltage depends on the ratio of time and off time. Switching happens very quickly, 10,000 times or faster per second.

 

Why are PWM controllers preferred?

Pulse width modulation is a great method of controlling the amount of power delivered to a load without dissipating any wasted power. The above circuit can also be used to control the speed of a fan or to dim the brightness of DC lamps or LED's.

 

What is PWM in power supply?

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), also known as pulse-duration modulation (PDM), is a technique for reducing the average power in an Alternating Current (AC) signal. Effectively chopping off parts of the waveform reduces the average voltage without affecting the base frequency of the signal.
