UC3844BD

lingxingic · AC-DC Controllers And Regulators · SOP-8

UC3844BD from lingxingic, in a SOP-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 This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made available for loop compensation; the datasheet gives an Error AMP output sink current maximum of 10 mA.
2 VFB input This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier, normally connected to the switching power supply output through a resistor divider; the input bias current is -0.1 uA typical and -2 uA maximum at VFB = 5 V.
3 ISENSE input A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input and the PWM uses it to terminate the output switch conduction; the maximum input signal is 0.9 to 1.1 V at VPIN1 = 5 V.
4 RT/CT passive The oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle are programmed by resistor RT connected to VREF and capacitor CT connected to ground, with operation to 500 kHz possible.
5 GROUND power_in This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground.
6 OUTPUT output This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET, sourcing and sinking peak currents up to 1 A (output current rating ±1 A).
7 Vi power_in This pin is the positive supply of the control IC; the absolute maximum supply voltage (low impedance source) is 30 V.
8 VREF power_out This is the reference output, providing charging current for capacitor CT through resistor RT; the reference output voltage is 4.90 to 5.10 V at Io = 1 mA.
