DESCRIPTION
The UC3578 is a PWM controller with an integrated high side floating gate driver. It is used in buck step down converters and regulates a positive output voltage. Intended to be used in a distributed power system, the IC allows operation from 14V to 72V input voltage which range includes the prevalent telecomm bus voltages. The output duty cycle of the UC3578 can vary between 0% and 90% for operation over the wide input voltage and load conditions. The UC3578 simplifies the design of the single switch PWM buck converter by incorporating a floating high side driver for an external N-channel MOSFET switch. It also features a 100kHz fixed frequency oscillator, an internal 2V precision reference, an error amplifier configured for voltage mode operation, and a PWM comparator with latching logic.
