KA3842B/KA3843B/KA3844B/KA3845B
SMPS Controller
Features
• Low Start Up Current
• Maximum Duty Clamp
• UVLO With Hysteresis
• Operating Frequency Up To 500KHz
Description
The KA3842B/KA3843B/KA3844B/KA3845B 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 lock out a nd cur re nt l imit ing. The KA3842B
and KA3844B have UVLO thresholds of 16V (on) and
10V (off) The KA3843B and KA3845B are 8.5V (on) and
7.9V (off) T he K A3842B and KA3843B c an operate within
100% duty cycle. The KA3844B and KA3845B 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 c onnected 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.
