PRODUCTION DATA.
The UC1825A-SP is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 12 V and 20 V. This input supply should be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than few inches from the UC1825-SP converter, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. A tantalum capacitor with a value of 47 uf is a typical choice; however, this may vary depending upon the output power being delivered.
The UC1825A-SP controller can be used to convert power efficiently using any of several standard topologies such as push-pull, forward, half-bridge, or full bridge. Design tradeoffs of cost, size, and performance narrow the field to the one that is most appropriate. For a typical application, such as in Figure 16, push-pull converter topology is highlighted.
