Current-mode PWM controller
UC3842
DESCRIPTION
PIN CONFIGURATIONS
The UC3842 is available in an 8-Pin mini-DIP the necessary
features to implement off-line, fixed-frequency current-mode control
schemes with a minimal external parts count. This technique results
in improved line regulation, enhanced load response characteristics,
and a simpler, easier to design control loop. Topological advantages
include inherent pulse-by-pulse current limiting.

Protection circuitry includes built-in undervoltage lock-out and
current limiting. Other features include fully-latched operation, a 1%
trimmed bandgap reference, and start-up current less than 1mA.

TOP VIEW
These devices feature a totem-pole output designed to source and
sink high peak current from a capacitive load, such as the gate of a
power MOSFET. Consistent with N-channel power devices, the
output is low in the OFF-state.
