LOW COST POWER-SAVING

MODE PWM CONTROLLER

FOR FLYBACK CONVERTERS



DESCRIPTION

The UC3837 is a high performance current mode PWM

current make the power reliable on startup design and a large

value resistor could be used in the startup circuit to minimize the

standby power. At no load condition, the IC operates in

power-saving mode for lower standby power, decreasing frequency

for Higher conversion efficiency at light load condition.

The internal slope compensation improves system stability at

high PWM duty cycle output. Leading-edge blanking on current

sense input removes the signal glitch, which offering minimal

external component count in the design. Excellent EMI

performance is achieved with UTC proprietary frequency hopping

technique (ZL201020615247.1) together with soft driver control.

Audio noise is eliminated due to switch frequency more than 20kHz

during operation.

The UC3837 has such applications as: battery charger, power

adaptor, set-top box power supplies, ink jet printers, open-frame

SMPS.
