UC3844G-SO8-R

UTC Unisonic Tech · AC-DC Controllers And Regulators · SOP-8

UC3844G-SO8-R from UTC Unisonic Tech, in a SOP-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.
2 VFB input Inverting input of the error amplifier, normally connected to the switching power supply output through a resistor divider; the current sense and voltage feedback inputs are rated -0.3 V to +5.5 V.
3 ISENSE input Input proportional to inductor current that the PWM uses to terminate output switch conduction, with a maximum current sense input threshold of 0.9 V to 1.1 V (1.0 V typical).
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator timing pin: resistor RT connects to Vref and capacitor CT to ground to program the oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle, and operation to 1 MHz is possible.
5 GND power_in Power ground.
6 Output output Directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET, sourcing and sinking peak currents up to 1 A, and switches at one-half the oscillator frequency.
7 VCC power_in Positive supply; the total power supply and zener current (ICC+IZ) is rated at 30 mA maximum.
8 VREF power_out Reference output that provides charging current for capacitor CT through resistor RT, with a reference output voltage of 4.9 V to 5.1 V at IOUT = 1.0 mA and TJ = 25°C.
