DESCRIPTION
The UC1842A/3A/4A/5A family of control ICs is a pin for pin compatible improved version of the UC3842/3/4/5 family. Providing the necessary features to control current mode switched mode power supplies, this family has the following improved features. Start up current is guaranteed to be less than 0.5mA. Oscillator discharge is trimmed to 8.3mA. During under voltage lockout, the output stage can sink at least 10mA at less than 1.2V for VCC over 5V.
The difference between members of this family are shown in the table below.

Note 2: These parameters, although guaranteed, are not 100% tested in production.
Note 3: Parameter measured at trip point of latch with VPIN2 = 0.
Note 4: Gain defined as: A = |

; 0 ≤ VPIN 3 ≤ 0.8V. |

Note 5: Adjust VCC above the start threshold before setting at 15V.
Note 6: Output frequency equals oscillator frequency for the UC1842A and UC1843A. Output frequency is one half oscillator frequency for the UC1844A and UC1845A.
Note 7: "Temperature stability, sometimes referred to as average temperature coefficient, is described by the equation:
Temp Stability = VREF (max) − VREF (min). TJ (max) − TJ (min)
VREF (max) and VREF (min) are the maximum & minimum reference voltage measured over the appropriate temperature range. Note that the extremes in voltage do not necessarily occur at the extremes in temperature."
Note 8: This parameter is measured with RT = 10kΩ to VREF. This contributes approximately 300μA of current to the measurement. The total current flowing into the RT/CT pin will be approximately 300μA higher than the measured value.
