TL2843BD-8

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

TL2843BD-8 from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 COMP output Error amplifier output / compensation node. Used to close the voltage feedback loop by connecting a compensation network (typically an RC network) between this pin and VFB. Internally clamped to set the peak current-sense threshold.
2 VFB input Inverting input of the internal error amplifier. Feedback voltage from the converter output is divided down and applied here; the amplifier compares it against the internal 2.5 V reference to regulate the output.
3 ISENSE input Current-sense input. A voltage proportional to the primary switch current (developed across a sense resistor) is applied here. The internal PWM comparator terminates the output pulse when this pin reaches ~1 V, providing cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator timing pin. An external resistor to VREF and capacitor to GND set the oscillator frequency (fOSC ≈ 1.72 / (RT·CT)). Also sets the maximum duty cycle via the discharge current.
5 GND power_in Signal and power ground return. All internal circuitry is referenced to this pin; connect to system ground with a low-inductance path.
6 OUT output High-current totem-pole gate-drive output. Directly drives the gate of an external power MOSFET; typical peak source/sink current of ±1 A. Output swings from GND to VCC.
7 VCC power_in Positive supply input for the controller and output stage. UVLO thresholds are 16 V (turn-on) / 10 V (turn-off) for the '-8' variant. Absolute maximum 30 V; bypass with a low-ESR capacitor close to the pin.
8 VREF power_out Buffered 5 V ±2% reference output. Capable of sourcing up to ~50 mA for external circuitry and for programming the oscillator via RT. Requires a bypass capacitor (typ. 0.1 µF) to GND for stability.
