UC3856DWTR

Texas Instruments · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-16-300mil

UC3856DWTR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16-300mil. 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 CL SS input Current limit adjust / soft start pin; current into it above 3mA (min latching) latches the circuit into shutdown, below 0.8mA max does not latch.
2 VREF power_out 5.1V reference regulator output (5.00 to 5.20V on UC3856 at 1mA), short circuit current -25 to -65mA.
3 CS- input Current sense amplifier inverting input; absolute maximum -0.3V to +3V, common mode range 0 to 3V.
4 CS+ input Current sense amplifier non-inverting input; absolute maximum -0.3V to +3V, common mode range 0 to 3V.
5 EA+ input Error amplifier non-inverting input; range -0.3V to VIN, common mode 0 to VIN-2V.
6 EA- input Error amplifier inverting input; range -0.3V to VIN, common mode 0 to VIN-2V.
7 COMP output Error amplifier output; can source up to 0.5mA (absolute maximum -5mA).
8 CT passive Oscillator timing capacitor connection; CT sets output deadtime (Td = 250CT for large RT) and frequency fT = 2/(RT·CT).
9 RT passive Oscillator timing resistor connection; with CT sets oscillator frequency fT = 2/(RT·CT).
10 SYNC bidirectional Oscillator sync, low impedance TTL compatible output that is tri-state when used as a sync input; output current ±10mA max.
11 AOUT output Totem pole output A, 1.5A peak, 0.5A DC and 2.0A pulse (0.5µs) absolute maximum source or sink.
12 GND power_in Ground; all voltages are measured with respect to this pin.
13 VC power_in Collector supply for the output totem poles; absolute maximum +40V.
14 BOUT output Totem pole output B, 1.5A peak, 0.5A DC and 2.0A pulse (0.5µs) absolute maximum source or sink.
15 VIN power_in Supply voltage input; absolute maximum +40V, UVLO startup threshold 8.0V max with 0.7V hysteresis.
16 SHUTDOWN input Shutdown input with 1V threshold (0.95 to 1.05V); input range 0 to 5V, absolute maximum -0.3V to +10V.
