UC3844AN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The maximum operating frequency of UC3844AN is 500 kHz. However, it's recommended to operate it at a frequency between 100 kHz to 400 kHz for optimal performance.

  • The minimum input voltage is typically 8.5V, and the maximum input voltage is 35V. However, it's recommended to operate it within 12V to 25V for optimal performance. You can use the formula: Vin(min) = 2.5V + (Vout / R1) * R2, where R1 and R2 are the feedback resistors.

  • The soft-start pin (SS) is used to slowly ramp up the output voltage during startup, reducing inrush current and preventing voltage overshoots. It's recommended to connect a capacitor (typically 10nF to 100nF) between the SS pin and ground to set the soft-start time.

  • The feedback resistors (R1 and R2) set the output voltage of the converter. A common ratio for R1 and R2 is 1:2 or 1:3. You can use the formula: R1 = R2 * (Vout - Vref) / Vref, where Vref is the internal reference voltage (typically 2.5V).

  • The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) is a protection feature that prevents the converter from operating below a certain input voltage threshold (typically 8.5V). This ensures that the converter operates within a safe input voltage range and prevents damage to the device.
