UC3843AP

UTC(Unisonic Tech) · DC-DC Controllers · DIP-8

UC3843AP 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 can source or sink up to 0.5mA, and pulling it below two diode drops above ground shuts down the output.
2 VFB input Error amplifier inverting input (feedback) regulated against the 2.5V internal reference, with analog input range -0.3 to +6.3V.
3 Current Sense input Current sense comparator input where peak current is ISMAX=1.0V/Rs, with analog input range -0.3 to +6.3V and raising it above 1V shuts down the output.
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator timing connection for the external RT and CT that set the frequency (52kHz typ. at RT=10kΩ, CT=3.3nF) with 1.7V peak-to-peak amplitude.
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 directly with ±1A peak current, high impedance during UVLO so it should be shunted to GND with a bleeder resistor.
7 VCC power_in Supply input with 30V absolute maximum from a low impedance source, UVLO start threshold 8.4V typ. and minimum operating voltage 7.6V typ. for the UC3843A.
8 VREF power_out Internal trimmed 5V reference output (4.9 to 5.1V at 1mA) with short-circuit current of -100mA typ.
