UCC3813PW-4G4

 Introduction of UCC3813PW-4G4

The UCC3813PW-4G4 is a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) control IC that belongs to the UCC3813 series, which offers high efficiency, low power consumption, and flexible programmability for a wide range of applications. It is manufactured by TI and operates directly from the rectified universal mains. It supports valley or zero voltage switching for minimum switching losses, efficient quasi-resonant operation at high power levels, frequency reduction at low power standby, and cycle skipping mode at very low loads. It also provides various protection features, such as safe restart mode, continuous mode protection, overvoltage protection, short winding protection, undervoltage protection, overtemperature protection, and overcurrent protection. It has a high level of integration, giving a very low external component count.

 Frequently Asked Questions of UCC3813PW-4G4

•  Q: What is the difference between UCC3813PW-4G4 and UCC3813D?

•  A: The UCC3813PW-4G4 and the UCC3813D have the same specifications and features, except for the overvoltage protection mode. The UCC3813PW-4G4 has a safe restart mode, which means that the device will try to restart automatically after an overvoltage fault, without cycling the mains supply. The UCC3813D has a latched mode, which means that the device will shut down permanently after an overvoltage fault, and needs to be restarted by cycling the mains supply.

•  Q: How can I get started with the UCC3813PW-4G4 development?

•  A: You can use the UCC3813 SMPS control IC development kit, which includes the UCC3813PW-4G4 device, a development board, a power supply, cables, and software tools. You can also refer to the UCC3813 SMPS control IC documentation for more information and guidance.
