The recommended operating voltage range for the UC1707J is 10V to 40V, although it can operate up to 45V with reduced performance.
To ensure proper biasing, the UC1707J requires a minimum of 2.5V between the VCC and GND pins, and the voltage on the VREF pin should be at least 2.5V above the voltage on the GND pin.
The UC1707J can deliver up to 1.5A of output current, but this is dependent on the input voltage, output voltage, and thermal considerations.
The UC1707J has built-in overvoltage protection (OVP) and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) features. However, additional external protection circuits may be necessary depending on the specific application requirements.
The soft-start pin (SS) allows the user to control the output voltage rise time during startup, which can help reduce inrush currents and prevent voltage overshoots.
