Details

The UC3842P is a fixed frequency current mode PWM controller designed to operate at a switching frequency of 40 kHz. It is commonly used in offline and DC-to-DC converter applications to regulate the output voltage. This IC offers a variety of protection features such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, and undervoltage lockout. The UC3842P integrates the functions of a pulse width modulator, error amplifier, voltage reference, and a high-current output driver into a single chip. It features an operating voltage range of 7V to 35V and can drive power MOSFETs or bipolar transistors. The output stage is capable of delivering up to 1A of peak current.The internal oscillator of the UC3842P can be programmed by an external resistor and capacitor to set the switching frequency. The error amplifier compares a voltage feedback signal with a reference voltage to regulate the duty cycle of the PWM signal and maintain the desired output voltage.

FAQs

What is UC3842P?

The UC3842P is a fixed frequency current-mode PWM controller designed by Texas Instruments. It is used in power supply and power management applications such as offline and isolated DC-DC converters, LED drivers, and battery chargers.

How Does UC3842P Work?

The UC3842P operates by regulating the output voltage and current of a power supply through its pulse-width modulation (PWM) control. It uses a current-mode control scheme to provide stability and accurate regulation of power converters. The controller features a configurable oscillator and error amplifier for precise control of the power supply output.

How Many Pins does UC3842P have and What are the Functions of the Pinout Configuration?

The UC3842P is housed in an 8-pin DIP (Dual Inline Package) or SOIC package. The pinout configuration includes:

  • VCC: Power supply pin.
  • CS: Current sense input pin.
  • RT/CT: Oscillator timing components pin.
  • VC: Voltage control input pin.
  • OUT: Output pin.
  • GND: Ground pin.

What are the Pros and Cons of UC3842P?

Pros:

  • Efficient Power Regulation: Provides efficient power control for various types of power supplies.
  • Flexible Configuration: Offers flexibility in oscillator frequency and voltage feedback for tailored power supply designs.
  • Current-Mode Control: Provides natural pulse-by-pulse current limiting and adjustable response to line and load transients.
  • Overvoltage Protection: Includes features for overvoltage protection and under-voltage lockout.
  • Cost-Effective: Offers cost-effective power supply solutions for a wide range of applications.

Cons:

  • External Components: May require external components for specific power supply designs and additional features.
  • Complexity: Requires careful consideration of feedback loop stability and parameter selection for optimal performance.

Are There Any Equivalents/Alternatives to UC3842P for Recommendation?

  • The UC3843P is a similar PWM controller with enhanced features such as under-voltage lockout and a totem pole output stage.
  • Alternatives to the UC3842P include the SG3524 from STMicroelectronics and the TL494 from Texas Instruments.
