UC3843BNG

onsemi · AC-DC Controllers and Regulators · PDIP-8

UC3843BNG from onsemi, in a PDIP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Compensation output Error amplifier output. Available for loop compensation; an external RC network from this pin to Voltage Feedback (pin 2) sets the closed-loop frequency response of the error amplifier.
2 Voltage Feedback input Inverting input of the error amplifier. Normally connected to the switching power supply output through a resistor divider; the amplifier's non-inverting input is internally biased to 2.5 V.
3 Current Sense input Non-inverting input of the current sense comparator. Monitors switch current via a ground-referenced sense resistor; the internal PWM latch resets when this input reaches ~1.0 V, providing cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator timing pin. A resistor from Vref to this pin (RT) and a capacitor from this pin to GND (CT) program the oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle. Guaranteed operation to 500 kHz.
5 GND power_in Signal and power ground return for the IC. In the PDIP-8 / SOIC-8 package, control and power ground share this single pin (the SOIC-14 splits these into separate GND and Power Ground pins).
6 Output output High-current totem-pole PWM output, directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Sources/sinks up to 1.0 A peak (200 mA typical); output is low when UVLO is active. Rise/fall times ~50 ns into 1.0 nF.
7 VCC power_in Positive supply for control logic and the totem-pole output stage. For the UC3843B, UVLO turn-on is 8.4 V typical and turn-off is 7.6 V typical; startup current is 0.3 mA typical, with an internal zener clamp at ~36 V.
8 Vref power_out Trimmed 5.0 V reference output (±1% for UC3843B; ±2% for UC2843B/NCV3843BV). Delivers up to 20 mA to external loads and is used to bias the RT/CT timing resistor. Short-circuit protected (~-85 mA typical).
