It drives two transistor outputs with a 50% maximum duty cycle, switching up to 500 kHz. The controller includes synchronous rectification drive, clock sync, and control features like current limit, enable, frequency control, and soft start. Supply range is 6.95 V to 40 V, and it operates over -40°C to 85°C ambient. The 16-SOIC package suits surface-mount assembly for industrial power supplies, telecom DC-DC converters, and battery-powered step-up stages. ## 500 kHz switching and 50% duty — what they mean for the magnetics Switching frequency is 500 kHz. Maximum duty cycle is 50%. ## Synchronous rectification and supply range Synchronous rectifier output drives external MOSFETs. Supply range is 6.95 V to 40 V. ## Active lifecycle — no redesign pressure The UC2846DW carries an Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. This part is a current-production choice for new designs and ongoing production; no forced redesign horizon from the manufacturer.","metaTitle":"UC2846DW PWM Controller, 500kHz, 16-SOIC","metaDescription":"UC2846DW current-mode PWM controller, 500kHz switching, 50% max duty cycle, synchronous rectification, -40 to 85°C, 16-SOIC.
