UCC38C44DR

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

UCC38C44DR 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 output for compensation, internally current limited so zero duty cycle can be commanded by externally forcing COMP to GND.
2 FB input Inverting input to the error amplifier, whose noninverting input is internally trimmed to 2.5V ± 1%.
3 CS input Primary-side current sense input to the PWM comparator that terminates OUT switch conduction, connected to the MOSFET source current sense resistor.
4 RT/CT bidirectional Fixed frequency oscillator set point, with timing resistor RRT connected to VREF and timing capacitor CCT connected to GND to set the switching frequency.
5 GND power_in Ground return pin for the output driver stage and the logic level controller section.
6 OUT output Output of the on-chip drive stage intended to directly drive a MOSFET, with peak currents of up to 1A sourced and sunk by this pin.
7 VDD power_in Analog controller bias input that provides power to the device, where total VDD current is the quiescent VDD current plus the average OUT current, and a bypass capacitor typically 0.1µF to GND is required.
8 VREF power_in 5V reference voltage used to provide charging current to the oscillator timing capacitor, requiring a minimum 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND placed as close to the pin as possible.
