UC3842 power management chip

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.   Features • Trimmed Oscillator Discharge Current for Precise Duty Cycle Control • Current Mode Operation to 500 kHz • Automatic Feed Forward Compensation • Latching PWM for Cycle−By−Cycle Current Limiting • Internally Trimmed Reference with Undervoltage Lockout • High Current Totem Pole Output • Undervoltage Lockout with Hysteresis • Low Startup and Operating Current • Direct Interface with ON Semiconductor SENSEFETâ„¢ Products • Pb−Free Packages are Available
