DESCRIPTION
The UC1846 control devices provide all of the necessary features to implement fixed frequency, current mode
control schemes while maintaining a minimum external parts count. The superior performance of this technique
can be measured in improved line regulation, enhanced load response characteristics, and a simpler,
easier-to-design control loop. Topological advantages include inherent pulse-by-pulse current limiting capability,
automatic symmetry correction for push-pull converters, and the ability to parallel “power modules" while
maintaining equal current sharing.
Protection circuitry includes built-in under-voltage lockout and programmable current limit in addition to soft start
capability. A shutdown function is also available which can initiate either a complete shutdown with automatic
restart or latch the supply off.
Other features include fully latched operation, double-pulse suppression, deadline adjust capability, a ±1%
trimmed bandgap reference, and low outputs in the OFF state.
