UC3842/UC3843/UC3844/UC3845
SMPS Controller
Features
• Low Start up Current
• Maximum Duty Clamp
• UVLO With Hysteresis
• Operating Fr equency up to 500KHz
Description
The UC3842/UC3843/UC3844/UC3845 are fixed
frequencycurrent-mode PWM controller. They are specially
designed for Off-Line and D C t o DC con ver t e r a pp l ic ati o ns
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 totemp ole ou t pu t for dr ivi n g a Po we r M OSF E T. The
UC3842 and UC3844 have UVLO threshold s 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 UC3844 and UC3845 can operate
with 50% duty cycle.

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.
