UC2842AD8 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The UC2842AD8 from Unitrode is a fixed-frequency, current-mode Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller. This IC is engineered for efficiency in off-line and DC-to-DC converter applications, requiring minimal external components for operation.

 

Key electrical specifications include an operating voltage range of 12V to 28V, a maximum output pin current of 200 mA, and a switching frequency of up to 500 kHz. It supports a maximum duty cycle of 100% and has an operating supply current of 25 mA. The device features a high-current totem-pole output.

 

Designed with flexibility in mind, the UC2842AD8 offers various package options and temperature ranges. Its internal oscillator can be set using external resistor and capacitor components connected to the RT/CT pin. The COMP pin serves as an output for a low-impedance signal based on voltage feedback, while the V FB pin is an input to the internal error amplifier. A current sense pin allows for monitoring circuit current via a shunt resistor.

 

This controller is suitable for applications demanding precise power management and regulation. Its robust design and feature set make it a reliable choice for power supply designs.
