UC3844BNG

onsemi · AC-DC Controllers & Regulators · DIP-8

UC3844BNG from onsemi, 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 Compensation output Error Amplifier output made available for loop compensation; sink current max 10 mA.
2 Voltage Feedback input Inverting input of the Error Amplifier, normally connected to the supply output through a resistor divider; input range -0.3 to +5.5 V.
3 Current Sense input Receives a voltage proportional to inductor current, used by the PWM to terminate output switch conduction; input range -0.3 to +5.5 V.
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle are set by resistor RT to Vref and capacitor CT to ground; operation down to 1.0 kHz is possible.
5 GND power_in Combined control circuitry and power ground.
6 Output output Directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET, sourcing and sinking peak currents up to 1.0 A, switching at one-half the oscillator frequency.
7 VCC power_in Positive supply of the control IC; rated 36 V maximum (zener clamped), total supply plus zener current 30 mA.
8 Vref power_out 5.0 V reference output that provides charging current for capacitor CT through resistor RT.
