DESCRIPTION
The UC384xB family of control ICs provides the nec-
essary features to implement off-line or DC to DC
fixed frequency current mode control schemes with
a minimal external parts count. Internally imple-
mented circuits include a trimmed oscillator for pre-
cise DUTY CYCLE CONTROL under voltage lock-
out featuring start-up current less than 0.5mA, a pre-
cision reference trimmed for accuracy at the error
amp input, logic to insure latched operation, a PWM
comparator which also provides current limit control,
and a totem pole output stage designed to source
or sink high peak current. The output stage, suitable
for driving N-Channel MOSFETs, is low in the off-
state.
Differences between members of this family are the
under-voltage lockout thresholds and maximum duty
cycle ranges. The UC3842B and UC3844B have
UVLO thresholds of 16V (on) and 10V (off), ideally
suited off-line applications The corresponding thresh-
olds for the UC3843B and UC3845B are 8.5 V and 7.9
V. The UC3842B and UC3843B can operate to duty
cycles approaching 100%. A range of the zero to <
50 % is obtained by the UC3844B and UC3845B by
the addition of an internal toggle flip flop which blanks
the output off every other clock cycle.

PIN FUNCTIONS
No Function Description
1 COMP This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made available for loop compensation.
2V
FB
This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the switching
power supply output through a resistor divider.
3I
SENSE
A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input. The PWM uses this
information to terminate the output switch conduction.
4R
T
/C
T
The oscillator frequency and maximum Output duty cycle are programmed by connecting
resistor R
T
to Vref and cpacitor C
T
to ground. Operation to 500kHz is possible.
5 GROUND This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground.
6 OUTPUT This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to 1A are sourced
and sunk by this pin.
7V
CC
This pin is the positive supply of the control IC.
8V
ref
This is the reference output. It provides charging current for capacitor C
