High Performance
Current Mode Controllers
The UC3842A, UC3843A series of high performance fixed
frequency current mode controllers are specifically designed for
off−line and DC−to−DC converter applications offering the designer a
cost effective solution with minimal external components. These
integrated circuits feature a trimmed oscillator for precise duty cycle
control, a temperature compensated reference, high gain error
amplifier, current sensing comparator, and a high current totem pole
output ideally suited for driving a power MOSFET.
Also included are protective features consisting of input and
reference undervoltage lockouts each with hysteresis, cycle−by−cycle
current limiting, programmable output deadtime, and a latch for single
pulse metering.
These devices are available in an 8−pin dual−in−line plastic package
as well as the 14−pin plastic surface mount (SOIC−14). The SOIC−14
package has separate power and ground pins for the totem pole output
stage.
The UCX842A has UYLO thresholds of 16 V (on) and 10 V (off),
ideally suited for off−line converters. The UCX843A is tailored for
lower voltage applications having UVLO thresholds of 8.5 V (on) and
7.6 V (off).

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit
values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied,
damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
1. Maximum Package power dissipation limits must be observed.
