Differences:
•PWM Modulation
–UC3854 Uses Traditional Trailing Edge PWM Modulation
–UCC3817 Uses Leading Edge Modulation
•Current Amplifier
–UC3854 Is Set up in a Non Inverting Configuration
–UCC3817 Is Set up in an Inverting Configuration
•Voltage Feed Forward(VFF)
–UC3854 Generates VFF From the Input and Requires a Two Pole Filter
–UCC3817 Generates VFF Internally From the Iac Current and Only
Requires a Single Pole Filter
•Multiplier
–The Older UC3854 Required a Bias Resistor From the Internal Reference
to the Iac Pin for Proper Operation
–The UCC3817 Multiplier Has Better Overall Parametric Performance

Recap Reasons For Transitioning From The UC3854 to The UCC3817
•The UCC3817 Has Better Noise Immunity Because of the Current Amplifier
Configuration
•It Takes Fewer Components to Use the UCC3817 in the Application
•Leading Edge Modulation When Synchronized Correctly Will Reduce the RMS
Current in the Boost Capacitor
•Improved Multiplier Performance Allows the System to Operate With a Wider Load Range
