UC3843AN

XBLW · AC-DC Controllers and Regulators · DIP-8

UC3843AN from XBLW, in a DIP-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 compensation pin. Connect external compensation components to this pin to modify the error amplifier output.
2 VFB input Voltage feedback pin. Inverting input to the internal error amplifier. VFB is used to control the power converter voltage-feedback loop for stability.
3 ISENSE input Primary-side current sense pin. Connect to current sensing resistor. The PWM uses this signal to terminate the OUTPUT switch conduction.
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator timing pin. Connect timing resistor RRT to VREF and timing capacitor CCT to GROUND from this pin to set the switching frequency and maximum output ratio. Max frequency up to 500 kHz.
5 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
6 OUTPUT output Gate drive output for the external MOSFET. Peak currents of up to 1 A are sourced and sunk by this pin.
7 VCC power_in Positive power supply input to the device. Absolute maximum 30 V; typical operating around 12-25 V. UVLO startup threshold ~8.4 V.
8 VREF power_out 5 V reference voltage output. Used to provide charging current to the oscillator timing capacitor through the timing resistor.
