UVLO thresholds for the UC1861/62/65/66 are 16.5V (ON) and 10.5V (OFF), whereas the UC1863/64/67/68 thresholds are 8V (ON) and 7V (OFF). After VCC exceeds the UVLO threshold, a 5V generator is enabled which provides bias for the internal circuits and up to 10mA for external usage. A Fault comparator serves to detect fault conditions and set a latch while forcing the output drivers low. The SoftRef pin serves three functions: providing soft start, restart delay, and the internal system reference. Each device features dual 1 Amp peak totem pole output drivers for direct interface to power MOSFETS. The outputs are programmed to alternate in the UC1861/63/65/67 devices. The UC1862/64/66/68 outputs operate in unison alllowing a 2 Amp peak current.

When Vcc exceeds the upper UVLO threshold, the 5V generator turns on. Until the 5V pin exceeds 4.9V, the outputs will still remain low. The 5V pin should be bypassed to signal ground with a 0.1µF capacitor. The capacitor should have low equivalent series resistance and inductance. FAULT AND SOFT-REFERENCE (See Figure 1): The Soft-Ref pin serves three functions: system reference, restart delay, and soft-start. Designed to source or sink 200µA, this pin should be used as the input reference for the error amplifier circuit. This pin requires a bypass capacitor of at least 0.1µF. This yields a minimum soft-start time of 1ms. Under-Voltage Lockout sets both the fault and restart delay latches. This holds the outputs low and discharges the Soft-Ref pin. After UVLO, the fault latch is reset by the low voltage on the Soft-Ref pin. The reset fault latch resets the delay latch and Soft-Ref charges via the 0.5mA current source. The fault pin is input to a high speed comparator with a threshold of 3V. In the event of a detected fault, the fault latch is set and the outputs are driven low. If Soft-Ref is above 4V, the delay latch is set. Restart delay is timed as Soft-Ref is discharged by 20µA. When Soft-Ref is fully discharged, the fault latch is reset if the fault input signal is low. The Fault pin can be used as a system shutdown pin. If a fault is detected during soft-start, the fault latch is set and the outputs are driven low. The delay latch will remain reset until Soft-Ref charges to 4V. This sets the delay latch, and restart delay is timed. Note that restart delay for a single fault event is longer than for recurring faults since Soft-Ref must be discharged from 5V instead of 4V. The restart delay to soft-start time ratio is 24:1 for a fault occurring during normal operation and 19:1 for faults occurring during soft-start. Shorter ratios can be programmed down to a limit of approximately 3:1 by the addition of a 20kΩ or larger resistor from Soft-Ref to ground. A 100kΩ resistor from Soft-Ref to 5V will have the effect of permanent shut down after a fault since the internal 20µA current source can't pull Soft-Ref low. This feature can be used to require recycling Vcc after a fault. Care must be taken to insure Soft-Ref is indeed low at start up, or the fault latch will never be reset. 4 UC1861-1868 UC2861-2868 UC3861-3868 APPLICATION INFORMATION UDG-92020 UDG-92021-1 Figure 1.

The minimum frequency is approximately given by the equation: The Error Amplifier directly controls the oscillator frequency. E/A output low corresponds to minimum frequency and output high corresponds to maximum frequency. At the end of each oscillator cycle, the RC pin is discharged to one diode drop above ground. At the beginning of the oscillator cycle, V(RC) is less than Vth1 and so the output of the zero detect comparator is ignored. After V(RC) exceeds Vth1, the one shot pulse will be terminated as soon as the zero pin falls below 0.5V or V(RC) exceeds Vth2. The minimum one shot pulse width is approximately given by the equation: FMIN ≅ 43 . RMIN • CVCO Maximum oscillator frequency is set by Rmin, Range & Cvco. The maximum frequency is approximately given by the equation: FMAX ≅ (RMIN 3.3 / / Range ) • CVCO Tpw(min) 0.3 R C. The maximum pulse width is approximately given by: Tpw(max) 1.2 R C.
