Shutdown of the UC3842 can be accomplished by two methods; either raise pin 3 above 1V or pull pin 1 below a voltage two
diode drops above ground. Either method causes the output of the PWM comparator to be high (refer to block diagram). The
PWM latch is reset dominant so that the output will remain low until the next clock cycle after the shutdown condition at pins
1 and/or 3 is removed. In one example, an externally latched shutdown may be accomplished by adding an SCR which will be
reset by cycling V
CC
below the lower UVLO threshold. At this point the reference turns off, allowing the SCR to reset.
Figure 9. Slope Compensation
A fraction of the oscillator ramp can be resistively summed with the current sense signal to provide slope compensation for
converters requiring duty cycles over 50%. Note that capacitor, C
T
, forms a filter with R2 to suppress the leading edge switch
spikes.
