SLUS230B – JUNE 1998 – REVISED JUNE 2007
The UC3879 controls a bridge power stage by phase
shifting the switching of one half-bridge with respect
to the other. This allows constant frequency pulse
width modulation in combination with resonant,
zero-voltage switching for high efficiency
performance. The UC3879 can be configured to
provide control in either voltage mode or current
mode operation, with overcurrent shutdown for fast
fault protection.
Independently programmable time delays provide
dead-time at the turn-on of each output stage,
allowing time for each resonant switching interval.

DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
With the oscillator capable of operating in excess of 600 kHz, overall output switching frequencies to 300 kHz
are practical. In addition to the standard free running mode, with the CLKSYNC pin, the user may configure the
UC3879 to accept an external clock synchronization signal. Alternatively, up to three units can be locked
together with the operational frequency determined by the fastest device.
Protective features include an undervoltage lockout and overcurrent protection. Additional features include a
10-MHz error amplifier, a 5-V precision reference, and soft start. The UC3879 is available in 20 pin N, J, DW,
and Q and 28 pin L packages.

(1) θJCdata values stated were derived from MIL-STD-1835B. MIL-STD-1835B states "The baseline values shown are worst case (mean
+2s) for a 60 x 60 mil microcircuit device silicon die and aplicable for devices with die sizes up to 14400 square mils. For devices die
sizes greater than 14400 square mils use the following values; dual-in-line, 11 ° C/W; flat pacl 10 ° C/W; pin grid array, 10 ° C/W".
(2) Specified θJA(junction-to-ambient) is for devices mounted to 5-in
