Internally implemented circuits include a trimmed oscillator for precise DUTY CYCLE CONTROL under voltage lockoutfeaturingstart-up current less than0.5mA,a precision reference trimmed for accuracy at the error amp input, logicto insure latched operation,a PWM comparatorwhich alsoprovidescurrent limit control, and a totem pole output stage designed to source or sink high peakcurrent. The outputstage, suitable for driving N-Channel MOSFETs, is low in the offstate. Differences between members of this family are the under-voltagelockout thresholds and maximum duty cycle ranges. The UC3842A and UC3844A have UVLO thresholds of 16V (on) and 10V (off), ideally suitedoff-lineapplicationsThecorrespondingthresholds for the UC3843A and UC3845A are 8.5 V and 7.9V. The UC3842A and UC3843A can operate to dutycycles approaching100%.A range of the zeroto < 50 % is obtainedby theUC3844Aand UC3845Aby the addition of an internal toggle flip flopwhich blanks the output off every otherclock cycle.

This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the switching power supply output through a resistor divider. A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input. The PWM uses this information to terminate the output switch conduction. The oscillator frequency and maximum Output duty cycle are programmed by connecting resistor RT to Vref and cpacitor CT to ground. Operation to 500kHz is possible. This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground. This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to 1A are sourced and sunk by this pin. This pin is the positive supply of the control IC. This is the reference output. It provides charging current for capacitor CT through resistor RT.
