UC3844D8TR

Texas Instruments · AC-DC Controllers And Regulators · SOIC-8

UC3844D8TR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-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 compensation pin. Connect external compensation elements to modify error amplifier output; internal current limiting allows forcing COMP to GROUND externally to control zero duty cycle.
2 VFB input Inverting input of internal error amplifier used to control power converter voltage feedback loop for stability.
3 ISENSE input Primary side current sensing pin connected to current sense resistor; PWM uses this signal to terminate OUTPUT switch conduction; voltage ramp can be applied for voltage mode control configuration.
4 RT/CT bidirectional Fixed frequency oscillator setting point; timing resistor RRT connects from this pin to VREF and timing capacitor CCT connects to GROUND to set switching frequency; keep timing capacitor leads as short as possible and directly connected to device GROUND.
5 GROUND power_in Analog ground. For device packages without PWRGND, GROUND serves as both power ground and analog ground.
6 OUTPUT output Gate driver for external MOSFET; on-chip driver output designed to directly drive MOSFET with peak current up to 1A sourced and sunk; actively held low when VCC is below turn-on threshold.
7 VCC power_in Analog controller bias input for powering the device; total VCC current equals static VCC current plus average OUTPUT current; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor directly connected to GROUND with minimal trace length.
8 VREF power_in 5V reference voltage providing charging current to oscillator timing capacitor through timing resistor; bypass to ground with ceramic capacitor placed close to pin connection; minimum 0.1µF ceramic capacitor required for reference stability.
