UC3843AL-D08-T from UTC(Unisonic Tech), 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 output for loop compensation, which sinks 2 mA min and sources 0.5 mA min, and pulling it below two diode drops above ground shuts the output down. |
| 2 | VFB | input | Error amplifier inverting (voltage feedback) input regulated to 2.5 V typ (2.42-2.58 V), with analog input range -0.3 to +6.3 V. |
| 3 | Current Sense | input | Current sense comparator input where peak current is ISMAX = 1.0 V/Rs, with analog input range -0.3 to +6.3 V, and raising it above 1 V shuts down the output. |
| 4 | RT/CT | passive | Oscillator timing pin for the external RT and CT, giving 52 kHz typ (47-57 kHz) at RT=10 kΩ and CT=3.3 nF. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Ground, where timing and bypass capacitors should be connected close to this pin in a single-point ground. |
| 6 | Output | output | Totem-pole output driving a MOSFET gate with ±1 A peak current, high impedance during under-voltage lockout, so shunt it to GND with a bleeder resistor. |
| 7 | VCC | power_in | Supply input rated 30 V max from a low-impedance source, with 34 V typ zener clamp at 25 mA, UC3843A start threshold 8.4 V typ (7.8-9 V) and minimum operating voltage 7.6 V typ. |
| 8 | VREF | power_out | 5 V reference output (4.9-5.1 V at 1 mA, 25°C) with short-circuit current of -100 mA typ. |
