Working Principles

The UC3524ADWG4 is a PWM controller that regulates the output voltage of power supplies. It operates by comparing the feedback voltage from the power supply with a reference voltage. The error amplifier amplifies the difference between these voltages and provides an error signal. This signal is then used to control the duty cycle of the PWM output, which in turn adjusts the switching frequency of the power supply. By modulating the pulse width, the UC3524ADWG4 ensures stable and efficient power supply operation.
