UC2843N

Texas Instruments · AC-DC Controllers And Regulators · DIP-8

UC2843N from Texas Instruments, in a DIP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 COMP output Error amplifier compensation pin: external compensation network connects here to shape the open-collector error amplifier output, and forcing COMP to GROUND gives zero duty cycle.
2 VFB input Inverting input of the internal error amplifier used for the voltage feedback loop, with the non-inverting input trimmed to 2.5 V; keep the VFB trace as short as possible and stray capacitance as low as possible for stability.
3 ISENSE input Primary-side current-sense input to the PWM comparator that terminates OUTPUT conduction, with a typical 1 V maximum input signal (VISENSE 0.9 V to 1.1 V), and an RC filter may be needed to prevent false triggering from leading-edge noise.
4 RT/CT bidirectional Oscillator timing pin: a timing resistor RT from VREF and timing capacitor CT to GROUND set fOSC = 1.72/(RT×CT), where RT must never be less than 5 kΩ and the recommended CT range is 1 nF to 100 nF.
5 GROUND power_in Combined signal and power ground for this 8-pin package (no separate PWRGND); keep the timing capacitor and bypass returns short and direct to this pin and separate the signal return from the high-current gate-drive path.
6 OUTPUT output Totem-pole gate driver for an external MOSFET that sources and sinks peak current up to 1 A (absolute maximum output drive current ±1 A) and is actively held low while VCC is below the turn-on threshold.
7 VCC power_in Controller supply input with a recommended range of 12 V to 28 V and a 30 V absolute maximum from a low-impedance source (internal clamp typically 34 V); bypass directly to GROUND with a 0.1 µF capacitor placed close to the pin.
8 VREF power_in 5 V reference output (±2% tolerance) that powers the oscillator and internal logic; bypass with at least a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the pin, and recommended reference output current is -20 mA maximum.
