The UC1841 family of PWM controllers has been designed to increase
the level of versatility while retaining all of the performance features of
the earlier UC1840 devices. While still optimized for highly-efficient bootstrapped primary-side operation in forward or flyback power converters,
the UC1841 is equally adept in implementing both low and high voltage
input DC to DC converters. Important performance features include a
low-current starting circuit, linear feed-forward for constant volt-second
operation, and compatibility with either voltage or current mode topologies.

In addition to start-up and normal regulating PWM functions, these devices include built in protection from over-voltage, under-voltage, and
over-current fault conditions with the option for either latch-off or automatic restart.
While pin compatible with the UC1840 in all respects except that the polarity of the External Stop has been reversed, the UC1841 offers the following improvements:

CR is normally selected ≤ CT and its value will have some effect upon valley voltage.
Limiting the minimum value for ISENSE will establish a maximum duty cycle clamp.
CR terminal can be used as an input port for current mode control.
Conventional operational amplifier for closed-loop gain and phase compensation.
Low output impedance; unity-gain stable.
The output is held low by the slow start voltage at turn on in order to minimize overshoot.
Precision 5.0V for internal and external usage to 50mA.
Tracking 3.0V reference for internal usage only with nominal accuracy of ± 2%.
40V clamp zener for chip OV protection, 100mA maximum current.
Generates output pulse which starts at termination of clock pulse and ends when the ramp
input crosses the lowest of two positive inputs.
Terminates the PWM output pulse when set by inputs from either the PWM comparator, the
pulse-by-pulse current limit comparator, or the error latch. Resets with each internal clock
pulse.
Transistor capable of sinking current to ground which is off during the PWM on-time and turns
on to terminate the power pulse. Current capacity is 400mA saturated with peak
capacitance discharge in excess of one amp.
With an increasing voltage, it generates a turn-on signal and releases the slow-start clamp at
a start threshold.
With a decreasing voltage, it generates a turn-off command at a lower level separated by a
200µA hysteresis current.
Disables most of the chip to hold internal current consumption low, and Driver Bias OFF, until
input voltage reaches start threshold.
Supplies drive current to external power switch to provide turn-on bias.
Clamps low to hold PWM OFF. Upon release, rises with rate controlled by RSCS for slow
increase of output pulse width.
Can also be used as an alternate maximum duty cycle clamp with an external voltage divider.
When set by momentary input, this latch insures immediate PWM shutdown and hold off until
reset. Inputs to Error Latch are:
a. OV > 3.2V (typically 3V)
b. Stop > 2.4V (typically 1.6V)
c. Current Sense 400mV over threshold (typical).
Error Latch resets when slow start voltage falls to 0.4V if Reset Pin 5 < 2.8V. With Pin 5 >
3.2V, Error Latch will remain set.
Differential input comparator terminates individual output pulses each time sense voltage
rises above threshold.
When sense voltage rises to 400mV (typical) above threshold, a shutdown signal is sent to
Error Latch.
A voltage over 1.2V will set the Error Latch and hold the output off.
A voltage less than 0.8V will defeat the error latch and prevent shutdown.
A capacitor here will slow the action of the error latch for transient protection by providing a
typical delay of 13ms/µF.

Not shown, are protective snubbers or additional interface
circuitry which may be required by the choice of the highvoltage switch, Qs, or the application; however, one example of power transistor interfacing is provided on the
following page.
In this application (see Figure A, next page), complete
control is maintained on the primary side. Control power
is provided by RIN and CIN during start-up, and by a primary-referenced low voltage winding, N2, for efficient operation after start. The error amplifier loop is closed to
regulate the DC voltage from N2 with other outputs following through their magnetic coupling − a task made
even easier with the UC1841’s feed−forward line regulation.
REGULATOR APPLICATION (B)
With the addition of a level shifting transistor, Q1, the
UC1841 is an ideal control circuit for DC to DC converters
such as the buck regulator shown in Figure B opposite. In
addition to providing constant current drive pulses to the
PIC661 power switch, this circuit has full fault protection
and high speed dynamic line regulation due to its feedforward capability. An additional feature is the ability to
An extension to this application for more precise regulation would be the use of the UC1901 Isolated Feedback
Generator for direct closed-loop control to an output.

PROGRAMMABLE SOFT START AND
RESTART DELAY CIRCUIT
ERROR LATCH INTERNAL CIRCUITRY
The Error Latch consists of Q5 and Q6 which, when both on,
turns off the PWM Output and pulls the Slow-Start pin low. This
latch is set by either the Over-Voltage or Current Shutdown
comparators, or by a high signal on Pin 4. Reset is accomplished by either the Reset comparator or a low signal on Pin
4. An activation time delay can be provided with an external
capacitor on Pin 4 in conjunction with the ≈ 100µA collector
current from Q4.
CURRENT MODE CONTROL
VOLTAGE FEED-FORWARD COMBINED WITH
MAXIMUM DUTY-CYCLE CLAMP
In this circuit, R1 is used in conjunction with CR (not shown) to
establish a minimum ramp charging current such that the ramp
voltage reaches 4.2V at the required maximum output pulse
width.
The purpose of Q1 is to provide an increasing ramp current
above a threshold established by R2 and R3 such that the duty
cycle is further reduced with increasing VIN.
Since Pin 10 is a direct input to the PWM comparator, this
point can also serve as a current sense port for current mode
control. In this application, current sensing is ground referenced through RCS. Resistor R1 sets a 400mV offset across
R2 (assuming R2 > RCS) so that both the Error Amplifier and
Fault Shutdown can force the current completely to zero. R2 is
also used along with CF as a small filter to attenuate leadingedge spikes on the load current waveform. In this mode,
current limiting can be accomplished by divider R3/R4 which
forms a clamp overriding the output of the Error Amplifier.
The minimum ramp current is:

TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
