DESCRIPTION
The UC1823 family of PWM control ICs is optimized for high fre
quency switched mode power supply applications. Particular care
was given to minimizing propagation delays through the compara
tors and logic circuitry while maximizing bandwidth and slew rate
of the error amplifier. This controller is designed for use in either
current-mode or voltage-mode systems with the capability for in
put voltage feed-forward.
Protection circuitry includes a current limit comparator, a TTL
compatible shutdown port, and a soft start pin which will double as
a maximum duty cycle clamp. The logic is fully latched to provide
jitter free operation and prohibit multiple pulses at the output. An
under-voltage lockout section with 800mV of hysteresis assures
low start up current. During under-voltage lockout, the output is high
impedance. The current limit reference (pin 11) is a DC input voltage
to the current limit comparator. Consult specifications for det ails.
These devices feature a totem pole output designed to source
• Low Start Up Current (1.1mA)
• Trimmed Bandgap Reference (5.1V±1%)
and sink high peak currents from capacitive loads, such as the
gate of a power MOSFET. The on state is defined as a high level.

Note 1. Specified qJA(junction to ambient) is for devices mounted to 5-in-2 FR4 PC board with one ounce copper where noted.
When resistance range is given, lower values are for 5-in-2 aluminum PC board. Test PWB was 0.062 in thick and typically used
0.635 mm trace widths for power pkgs and 1.3 mm trace widths for non-power pkgs with a 100 x 100 mil probe land area at the
end of each trace.
Note 2. q
data values stated were derived from MIL-STD-1835B. MIL-STD-1835B states that “The baseline values shown are

worst case (mean + 2s) for a 60 x 60 mil microcircuit device silicon die and applicable for devices with die sizes up to 14400 square
mils. For device die sizes greater than14400 square mils use the following values; dual-in-line, 11°C/W; flat pack, 10°C/W; pin grid
