DESCRIPTION
The UC184xA family of control ICs provides externally programmable oscillator to set
all the necessary features to implement off-line frequency and maximum duty cycle. The
fixed-frequency, current-mode switching power undervoltage lock-out is designed to operate with
supplies with a minimum of external 250µA typ. start-up current, allowing an efficient

demonstrates improved load regulation, pulse- options for this family of products, such as start-
by-pulse current limiting and inherent protection up voltage hysteresis and duty cycle, are
of the power supply output switch. The IC summarized below in the Available Options
includes: A bandgap reference trimmed to ±1% section. The UC184xA family of control ICs is
