UC3842 Philips Current-mode PWM controller Data Sheet

Description

This PDF datasheet is for the Philips UC3842 PWM controller.

Philips Semiconductors UC3842 Current-mode PWM controller

The UC3842 is available in an 8-Pin mini-DIP the necessary features to implement off-line, fixed-frequency current-mode control schemes with a minimal external parts count. This technique results in improved line regulation, enhanced load response characteristics, and a simpler, easier to design control loop. Topological advantages include inherent pulse-by-pulse current limiting.
Protection circuitry includes built-in undervoltage lock-out and current limiting. Other features include fully-latched operation, a 1% trimmed bandgap reference, and start-up current less than 1mA.
These devices feature a totem-pole output designed to source and sink high peak current from a capacitive load, such as the gate of a power MOSFET. Consistent with N-channel power devices, the output is low in the OFF-state.

FEATURES
– Low start-up current
– Automatic feed-forward compensation
– Pulse-by-pulse current limiting
– Enhanced load response characteristics
– Undervoltage lock-out with hysteresis
– Double pulse suppression
– High current totem-pole output
– Internally-trimmed bandgap reference
– 400kHz operation, guaranteed min
