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 minimum external components. These
integrated circuits feature a trimmed oscillator for precise
duty cycle control, a temperature compensated reference,
high gain error amplifier. current sensing comparator, and a
high current totempole output Ideally suited for driving a
power MOSFET. Protection circuity Includes built in
under-voltage lockout and current limiting. TheUC3842 and
UC3844 have UVLO thresholds of 16V (on) and 10V (off)
The UC3843 and UC3845 are 8.5V (on) and 7.9V (off) The
UC3842 and UC3843 can operate within 100% duty cycle.
The UC3844and UC3845 can operate with 50% duty cycle.

Figure 1. Open Loop Test Circuit
High peak currents associated with capacitive loads necessitate careful grounding techniques Timing and bypass capacitors
should be connected close to pin 5 in a single point ground. The transistor and 5KΩ potentiometer are used to sample the
oscillator waveform and apply an adjustable ramp to pin 3.

Figure 2. Under Voltage Lockout
During Under-Voltage Lock-Out, the output driver is biased to a high impedance state. Pin 6 should be shunted to ground with
a bleeder resistor to prevent activating the power switch with output leakage current.
