UC3843

Fixed Frequency Current Mode PWM Controller


DESCRIPTION

PIN CONFIGURATION

UC3843 is a fixed frequency current-mode PWM controller.


It is specially designed for Off Line and DC-to-DC converter
applications with minimal external component. This
integrated circuit features a trimmed oscillator for precise
duty cycle control, a temperature compensated reference, a
high gain error amplifier, a current sensing comparator, and
a high current totem pole output ideally suited for driving a
power MOSFET.

Name

Function Description

Compensation

This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made available for loop
compensation.

Voltage
Feedback

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


Current Sense The PWM uses this information to terminate the output switch
conduction.

RT/CT

The Oscillator frequency and maximum Output duty cycle are


programmed by connecting resistor RT to VREF and capacitor CT to
ground. Operation to 500kHz is possible.

GND

This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground.

Output

This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET.


Peakcurrents up to 1.0A are sourced and sunk by this pin.

VCC

This pin is the positive supply of the control IC.

VREF

This is the reference output. It provides charging current for capacitor


CT through resistor RT
