UC3842BL-S08-R

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

UC3842BL-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 that provides loop compensation to maintain VFB at 2.5V.
2 VFB input Error amplifier inverting input; the non-inverting input is the internal 2.5V bandgap reference.
3 CS input Current sense input to the PWM control gate drive of the output; raising it above 1V shuts down the output, and the Current Sense and Voltage Feedback inputs are rated -0.3 V to +5.5 V.
4 RTCT input Sets the oscillator frequency and the maximum output duty cycle through the RT and CT timing components.
5 GND power_in Power ground; the timing and bypass capacitors must be connected to this pin at a single close point.
6 OUTPUT output Drives the power MOSFET directly; the datasheet recommends a bleeder resistor from this pin to ground to prevent false turn-on from leakage during undervoltage lockout.
7 VCC power_in Power supply input; the UC3842B UVLO thresholds are 16V (on) and 10V (off), and the UC3843B thresholds are 8.4V (on) and 7.6V (off).
8 VREF power_out Regulated 5V output (4.9 V to 5.1 V at IO = 1.0 mA, TJ = 25°C) that supplies the charging current for CT through RT.
