UC2842ADWTRG4 Application Field and Working Principle

The UC2842ADWTRG4 is a DC-DC switching controller integrated circuit that is used in a variety of different applications. By controlling the turn-on, turn-off and switching frequency of an external MOSFET, this chip enables designers to quickly and easily create symmetrical, or asymmetrical, low power, switch-mode power supplies. The UC2842ADWTRG4 is part of a larger family of controllers, which have been designed to provide a complete solution for all power management needs. This family includes linear, switch-mode and brushless DC motor controlling solutions.

This chip enables designers to develop power supplies with adjustable output voltage, current, and other features. Its operating frequency can range from 100 kHz to 500 kHz, and its output current level is adjustable up to 500 mA. Additionally, this chip allows flexibility in the implementation of a variety of protection and safety features, including over current protection, over voltage protection, and thermal shutdown. Furthermore, this controller has low start-up and quiescent currents, and provides a low power standby mode to reduce power consumption.

The UC2842ADWTRG4 is used for a wide range of applications, such as lighting, consumer, industrial, and communication. It is well-suited for use in signal or power amplifier systems, where regulated power must be provided at both the input and output stages. Additionally, this chip can be used to construct power supplies for computer peripherals, and various other consumer electronic products.

The UC2842ADWTRG4 belongs to the PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) family, and is more specifically, a voltage regulator and DC-DC switching controller. This device contains a number of built-in features, such as a high-voltage startup circuit, an adjustable VCC comparator and an active gate driving circuit to enable simple and efficient gate driving. Furthermore, the UC2842ADWTRG4 integrates a reference voltage source, a fixed-frequency oscillator, and an adjustable voltage threshold detector.

The working principle of the UC2842ADWTRG4 is based on pulse width modulation (PWM). When the input voltage applied to the chip is higher than the voltage reference set in the reference voltage source, the threshold detector turns on and the PWM block generates a pulse having a fixed duty cycle and a fixed frequency. The duty cycle indicates the maximum on-time for the MOSFET, which is determined by the TSR pin of the chip.

The output voltage of the power supply is monitored through the voltage comparator. When a voltage difference is detected by the comparator, the PWM block starts to change the duty cycle of the pulses, and thus, the output voltage. The process of changing the duty cycle continues until the output voltage reaches the desired level. When a load is connected to the power supply, the voltage comparator senses any changes in the output voltage and adjusts the duty cycle accordingly to compensate for it.

To conclude, the UC2842ADWTRG4 is a versatile DC-DC switching controller which enables the development of regulated power supplies for a range of applications. This chip is a member of the PMIC family and is used for voltage regulation and DC-DC switching. The chip employs a convenient PWM algorithm to control the switching of the external MOSFET and to monitor the output voltage. This chip is capable of regulating the output voltage of power supplies with adjustable voltage, current, and other features, and can be used in a variety of different applications.
