TI recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and placing the IC close to the input capacitors and output inductors. Additionally, keep the high-current paths short and use a common ground point for the input and output returns.
Ensure that the compensation components (R1, R2, C1, and C2) are correctly selected and placed close to the IC. Also, verify that the output voltage is within the recommended range and the input voltage is above the minimum specified value.
The maximum allowable voltage drop across the sense resistor (Rs) is 100 mV. Exceeding this value may cause inaccurate current sensing and affect the overall performance of the converter.
Yes, the UC3854ADW can be used in a synchronous rectification configuration. However, it requires additional external components and careful design consideration to ensure proper operation and minimize losses.
Use an oscilloscope to monitor the input and output voltages, currents, and the IC's internal signals (e.g., VFB, ISENSE). Also, verify the PCB layout, component values, and soldering quality to identify potential issues.
