UC3843BD1

STMicroelectronics · AC-DC Controllers And Regulators · SO-8

UC3843BD1 from STMicroelectronics, in a SO-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 made available for loop compensation.
2 VFB input Inverting input of the Error Amplifier; normally connected to switching power supply output through a resistor divider.
3 ISENSE input Voltage proportional to inductor current input; PWM uses this information to terminate output switch conduction.
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle are programmed by connecting resistor RT to Vref and capacitor CT to ground; operation to 500kHz is possible.
5 GROUND power_in Combined control circuitry and power ground.
6 OUTPUT output Directly drives gate of power MOSFET; peak currents up to 1A are sourced and sunk by this pin.
7 VCC power_in Positive supply of the control IC.
8 Vref power_in Reference output providing charging current for capacitor CT through resistor RT.
