UC3843BVD1R2G

onsemi · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-8

UC3843BVD1R2G from onsemi, 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 Compensation output Error Amplifier output, made available for external loop compensation. Voltage on this pin sets the peak inductor current (Ipk = (V_pin1 − 1.4 V) / (3·Rs)); internally clamped to ~1.0 V during overload.
2 Voltage Feedback input Inverting input of the Error Amplifier. Normally connected to the switching supply output through a resistor divider; the non-inverting input is internally biased to 2.5 V. Input bias current is typically −0.1 µA (max −2.0 µA).
3 Current Sense input Current-sense input; a voltage proportional to inductor current is applied here. The PWM uses this information to terminate output switch conduction on a cycle-by-cycle basis. Maximum input threshold typically 1.0 V; current sense gain Av ≈ 3.0 V/V.
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator timing pin. The oscillator frequency and maximum duty cycle are programmed by connecting timing resistor RT from Vref to this pin and capacitor CT from this pin to ground. Operation to 500 kHz is possible; sawtooth swings between ~1.2 V (valley) and ~2.8 V (peak).
5 GND power_in Combined control-circuitry and power ground return for the 8-pin package. All internal grounds and the output stage return through this pin.
6 Output output High-current totem-pole gate-drive output for driving a power MOSFET. Peak source/sink currents up to 1.0 A; rise/fall times ~50 ns typical into 1 nF. Output is held low when UVLO is active.
7 VCC power_in Positive supply of the control IC. UC3843B startup threshold 8.4 V typ (7.8-9.0 V), min operating voltage after turn-on 7.6 V typ. Absolute maximum 30 V; internal zener clamps at 36 V typ.
8 Vref power_out 5.0 V trimmed reference output (typ 5.0 V, ±1% at TJ = 25°C, IO = 1 mA). Provides charging current for CT through RT and can source up to ~50 mA to external loads; short-circuit current limited to ~85 mA.
