Component qualification in accordance with JEDEC and
industry standards to ensure reliable operation over an
extended temperature range. This includes, but is not limited
to, Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) or biased 85/85,
temperature cycle, autoclave or unbiased HAST,
electromigration, bond intermetallic life, and mold compound
life. Such qualification testing should not be viewed as
justifying use of this component beyond specified
performance and environmental limits.
DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The UC1846-EP control IC provides all of the necessary features to implement fixed-frequency, current-mode
control schemes, while maintaining a minimum external parts count. The superior performance of this technique
can be measured 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 capability,
automatic symmetry correction for push-pull converters, and the ability to parallel power modules, while
maintaining equal current sharing.
Protection circuitry includes built-in undervoltage lockout and programmable current limit, in addition to soft-start
capability. A shutdown function is also available, which can initiate either a complete shutdown with automatic
restart or latch the supply off.
Other features include fully latched operation, double pulse suppression, deadline adjust capability, and a ±1%
trimmed bandgap reference.
The UC1846-EP features low outputs in the OFF state.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas
Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.
PRODUCTION DATA information is current as of publication date.
Products conform to specifications per the terms of the Texas
Instruments standard warranty. Production processing does not
necessarily include testing of all parameters.

Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating
conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltages are with respect to ground, pin 13. Currents are positive into, negative out of the specified terminal.

Output deadtime is determined by the external capacitor, CT, according to the formula:
ID
ID * R 3.6
(kW)
T
τd (µs) = 145CT (µf)
ID = Oscillator discharge current at 25°C is typically 7.5 mA.
For large values of RT: τd (µs) ≈ 145CT (µf)
