UC3842AP-S08-R

UTC Unisonic Tech · AC-DC Controllers And Regulators · SOIC-8

UC3842AP-S08-R from UTC Unisonic Tech, in a SOIC-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 output for loop compensation (sink current max 10 mA, source about 0.5 mA); pulling it below two diode drops above ground shuts down the output.
2 VFB input Error amplifier inverting input (feedback voltage, 2.5 V nominal) with an analog input range of -0.3 to +6.3 V.
3 Current Sense input Current sense comparator input with 1 V maximum trip level (peak current = 1.0 V/Rs) and an analog input range of -0.3 to +6.3 V; raising it above 1 V shuts down the output.
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator timing pin where the external RT to VREF and CT to ground set the fixed frequency (500 kHz operation max, 52 kHz typical at 10 kΩ/3.3 nF).
5 GND power_in Ground; timing and bypass capacitors should be connected close to this pin in a single-point ground.
6 Output output High-current totem-pole output driving a MOSFET gate directly, with ±1 A peak output current, and high impedance during under-voltage lockout (shunt to GND with a bleeder resistor).
7 VCC power_in Positive supply with 30 V maximum from a low impedance source (self-limiting for ICC<30 mA), with UVLO start threshold 16 V typ and 10 V typ minimum operating for UC3842A.
8 VREF power_out Internally trimmed 5 V reference output (4.9 to 5.1 V at 1 mA) with 100 mA typical short-circuit current.
