DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
The UC3827 can be set up in traditional voltage mode control using input voltage feedforward technique or in
current mode control. Using current mode control prevents potential core saturation of the push-pull transformer
due to mismatches in timing and in component tolerances. With average current mode control, precise control of
the inductor current feeding the push-pull stage is possible without the noise sensitivity associated with peak
current mode control. The UC3827 average current mode loop can also be connected in parallel with the voltage
regulation loop to assist only in fault conditions.
Other valuable features of the UC3827 include bidirectional synchronization capability, user programmable
overlap time (UC3827-1), user programmable gap time (UC3827-2), a high bandwidth differential current sense
amplifier, and soft start circuitry.

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.

The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific
JEDEC-standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
