Product Overview
The UC3825DWTR from Texas Instruments is a high-speed pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller optimized for push-pull, half-bridge, and full-bridge DC-DC converter topologies in a 16-pin SOIC package. With 50ns output rise/fall time, 1MHz switching capability, and current-mode control, it targets high-power high-efficiency power conversion.
