UC3842N Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The UC3842N from Texas Instruments is a single-ended, current mode PWM controller optimized for off-line and DC-to-DC converters. It features an operating voltage range of 12V to 28V and can operate at frequencies up to 500kHz, with a maximum duty cycle of 97%.

 

This controller supports multiple topologies including Boost, Buck, Buck-Boost, Flyback, and Forward configurations. It includes features such as frequency control, undervoltage lockout with hysteresis, and pulse-by-pulse current limiting. The device is housed in an 8-PDIP package and is designed for through-hole mounting.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a 12V to 28V input voltage range and a maximum duty cycle of 97%. The controller operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Its output type is a transistor driver, and it is not a synchronous rectifier.

 

The UC3842N is suitable for various power supply applications requiring efficient and stable voltage regulation. Its through-hole mounting makes it suitable for traditional PCB designs.
