UC3842ADTR

Texas Instruments · AC-DC Controllers And Regulators · SOIC-14

UC3842ADTR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-14. 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 Low-impedance 1MHz error amplifier output and peak current limit/PWM comparator input with 80dB open-loop gain; maximum sink current 6mA.
2 NC unconnected No connection.
3 FB input Error amplifier input for power converter voltage feedback loop stability control.
4 NC unconnected No connection.
5 ISENSE input Peak current limit/PWM comparator input; peak current sense signal clamped to 1V; controls cycle-by-cycle peak current limit with external current sense resistor.
6 NC unconnected No connection.
7 RT/CT input Internal oscillator input; programmed with external resistor RT (5kΩ-100kΩ) and capacitor CT (470pF-4.7nF).
8 PGND power_in Power ground and gate driver return path; enables star grounding technique to reduce gate driver-induced PWM instability.
9 GND power_in Controller signal ground.
10 OUTPUT output 1A totem-pole gate driver output; sink/source capability up to 1A; external gate resistor required to limit gate drive current.
11 VC power_in Gate driver bias voltage input; requires bypass capacitor at least 10 times gate capacitance of main switch FET.
12 VCC power_in Gate driver power supply input; requires bypass capacitor with capacitance at least 10 times larger than main switch FET gate capacitance.
13 NC unconnected No connection.
14 VREF power_in 5V reference voltage output; maximum output current 10mA; short-circuit protected at ~100mA; requires 1µF high-frequency bypass capacitor.
