Working Principles

The SG3843DM is a voltage mode PWM controller that regulates the output voltage of power supplies. It operates by comparing the feedback voltage with a reference voltage and adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal accordingly. The error amplifier amplifies the difference between the feedback voltage and the reference voltage, providing precise control over the output voltage. The oscillator generates a sawtooth waveform used for timing the PWM signal. By adjusting the timing resistor and capacitor, the frequency and duty cycle of the PWM signal can be set.
