UC2525BN Application Field and Working Principle

UC2525BN is a Voltage Regulator and a DC-DC switching controller among Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMIC). It integrates features such as short circuit protection and over-temperature protection. It can be used to provide a complete power supply system solution and can also adjust output voltage. In addition, it can use a single end secondary winding to provide primary side current and feedback secondary winding.

Application Field

UC2525BN can be used in a wide range of voltage regulating applications, including computer motherboards, notebook adapters, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) power supplies, telecommunications power supplies, and multi-functional home office products. It is typically used to control multiple output voltages within the range of 0.4V to 3.4V, depending on the type of application and the specific needs of the user.

Working Principle

UC2525BN uses a frequency modulation conversion principle to determine the output voltage of the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator has three external components - an inductor, a capacitor, and a resistor. The inductor collects energy from the primary winding and stores it until the output voltage reaches a certain level. The current in the inductor then transfers to the output, delivering power to the load while the capacitor helps to reduce ripple in the output voltage.

The voltage regulator also includes a built-in closed-loop feedback circuit, which monitors the output voltage of the regulator and adjusts it according to the voltage change. The control loop works by measuring the output voltage and comparing it to a reference voltage. If the difference exceeds a certain amount, the controller will adjust the duty cycle of the PWM pulses to correct the output voltage. The result of this process is a regulated output voltage.

Conclusion

UC2525BN is a voltage regulator and a DC-DC switching controller among PMICs. It integrates features such as short-circuit protection and over-temperature protection, allowing it to provide a complete power system solution. Due to its wide application and widespread use, UC2525BN is an important part of many applications, making it a much needed part of the power management market.
