PWM
CONTROLLER
DESCRIPTION
The UC3842/UC3843/UC3844/UC3845 are fixed frequency current mode PWM controller.
They are specially designed for OFF−Line and DC to DC converter applications with
a minimal external components. Internally implemented circuits include a trimmed
oscillator for precise duty cycle control, a temperature compensated reference, high
gain error amplifier, current sensing comparator, and a high current totem pole output
ideally suited for driving a power MOSFET. Protection circuitry includes built under
voltage lockout and current limiting.
The UC3842, UC3844 have UVLO thresholds of 16 V (on) and 10 V (off).
The corresponding thresholds for the UC3843, UC3845 are 8.4V (on) and 7.6V (off).
The UC3842, UC3843 can operate within 100% duty cycle.
The UC3844, UC3845 can operate within 50% duty cycle.

DESCRIPTION
This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made for loop compensation.
This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the switching power supply
output through a resistor divider.
A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input. The PWM uses this information to
terminate the output switch conduction.
The oscillator frequency and maximum Output duty cycle are programmed by connecting resistor R
T
to V
ref
and capacitor C
T
to ground.
This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground.
This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to 1A are sourced and sink
by this pin.
This pin is the positive supply of the integrated circuit.
This is the reference output. It provides charging current for capacitor C
T
through resistor R
T
.
