Description
The UC3842A/UC 38 43A ar e fixe d P WM co ntrol ler for O f fLine and DC to DC converter applications. The internal circuits include UVLO, low start up current circuit, temperature compensated reference, high gain error amplifier,
current sensing comp a ra to r, and high current totem-pole output for driving a POWER MOSFET. Also UC3842A/
UC3843A provide low start up current below 0.3mA and
short shutdown delay time typ. 100ns. The UC3842A has
UVLO thresho ld o f 16V (on ) an d 10V (of f ). Th e U C3843 A i s
8.4V(on) and 7.6V(off). The UC3842A and UC3843A c an
operate within 100% duty cycle.
