7.1 Overview

The UCx84xA family of fixed-frequency pulse-width-modulator (PWM) controllers are designed to operate at switching frequencies of 500 kHz. These controllers are designed for peak current mode (PCM) and can be used in isolated and non-isolated power supply designs. These controllers can drive FETs directly from the output, which is capable of sourcing and sinking up to 1 A of gate driver current. These devices also have a built-in low-impedance amplifier that can be used in non-isolated designs to control the power supply output voltage and feedback loop.
