Working Principles

The UCC3818NG4 is a voltage mode PWM controller that regulates the output voltage of power supply systems. It operates by comparing the feedback voltage (FB) with a reference voltage (VREF) to generate an error signal. This error signal is then amplified and compensated by the internal error amplifier, which adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM signal.

By controlling the duty cycle, the UCC3818NG4 adjusts the average output voltage. The timing resistor (RT) and capacitor (CT) connected to the RT/CT pin determine the frequency of the PWM signal. The soft-start feature gradually increases the duty cycle during startup to prevent excessive inrush current.
