UC3842AD Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Texas Instruments UC3842AD is a versatile current mode PWM controller suitable for various off-line and DC-DC converter applications. It offers a wide operating voltage range of 10V to 30V and supports a maximum duty cycle of 96% with switching frequencies up to 500kHz.

 

Key electrical features include frequency control, and it supports multiple topologies such as Boost, Buck, Flyback, and Forward. The device is designed for efficient power management, with a low start-up current of less than 0.5mA and a trimmed oscillator discharge current of 8.3mA.

 

Packaged in a 14-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface mount configuration, the UC3842AD operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Its output configuration is positive and isolation capable, functioning as a transistor driver for single output phases.

 

This controller is optimized for applications requiring precise current limiting and enhanced load response characteristics. It also includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis and double pulse suppression for robust operation.
