  • Page 3 Using the UCD3138PSFBEVM-027 Introduction This evaluation model (EVM), the UCD3138PSFBEVM-027, is used to evaluate the UCD3138 64-pin digital control IC in an off-line power-converter application and then to aid in its design. The EVM is a standalone phase-shifted full-bridge DC-DC power converter. The EVM is used together with a control card, the UCD3138CC64EVM-030, which is an EVM placed on the UCD3138RGC.
