What are the key features of UC3879N?
- Phase-shift resonant PWM control with both current-mode and voltage-mode support
- Wide input voltage range of 11V to 20V (nominal 12V) for flexible power supply designs
- Dual control technique: pulse width modulation combined with resonant control for high efficiency
- 20-pin DIP package (R-PDIP-T20) for easy through-hole PCB integration
- Peak current (IPK) control mode enables precise cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting
What is UC3879N used for?
The UC3879N is designed for high-efficiency resonant power conversion systems such as LLC and phase-shift full-bridge DC-DC converters. It is widely used in telecom power supplies, industrial SMPS, and server power systems where soft-switching techniques are required to minimize switching losses. Its combined PWM and resonant control capability also makes it suitable for UPS systems and high-density power modules.
