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. |
