Therefore, a high-quality power supply system plays a crucial role in the overall motor vehicle system. The control module of the direct-flow brushless electric machine is a numerically controlled electronic system utilizing a microcontroller. A switching power supply, managed by the UC3842 high-performance electric current mode PWM generator, is well-suited for this system. The design achieves complete isolation of input and output through a small-scale high-frequency voltage transformer, enhancing power efficiency, simplifying peripheral circuits, and reducing costs and size. The power supply features voltage stabilization with minimal ripple and reliable performance. The single-end anti-exciting type structure operates by utilizing the magnetic core of the voltage transformer solely on the collinear side of magnetic hysteresis. When the gas switching tube is activated, the energy stored in the primary coil is obstructed in the secondary winding. Conversely, when the gas switching tube is deactivated, the energy from the primary coil is released through the secondary winding. This design is a cost-effective solution that provides partial input/output isolation and improved voltage percentage modulation. The UC3842 chip, produced by Unitrode Company, is a high-performance, single-ended output electric current-controlled pulse width modulator. Its functional block diagram illustrates various components, including a 5V reference, duty ratio control, a comparator, a PWM latch, a high-gain error amplifier, and a high-current push-pull output circuit for driving power MOSFETs. The UC3842 chip achieves excellent electrical performance at a lower cost, making it widely used in low-powered switching power supplies ranging from 20 to 50 W. Key pin configurations include pin 8 for internal reference voltage (5V), pin 7 for power supply (operational voltage range 10-16V), pin 4 for the resonator, and pins 1 and 2 for compensating the opposite phase input of the internal voltage comparator. The chip generates a PWM signal at pin 6 to control the power device's switching. The current sensing mechanism at pin 3 measures input current, with a voltage exceeding 1V triggering the PWM pulse shutdown for current limiting protection.
