UC3845BD1R2G

onsemi · AC-DC Controllers and Regulators · SOIC-8

UC3845BD1R2G 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 / compensation node. External RC network to Voltage Feedback (pin 2) sets the closed-loop gain and frequency response of the error amplifier used for output regulation.
2 Voltage Feedback input Inverting input of the on-chip error amplifier. Normally connected to the switching power supply output through a resistor divider; the non-inverting input is internally tied to the 2.5 V reference (VFB regulation set point ~2.5 V).
3 Current Sense input Non-inverting input of the current-sense comparator. Monitors the MOSFET source current across a sense resistor; the internal PWM latch is reset (output terminates) when this pin reaches the threshold set by the error amp output (nominal max threshold 1.0 V).
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator timing pin. External resistor RT to Vref and timing capacitor CT to GND set the oscillator frequency (fOSC ≈ 1.72 / (RT·CT) for RT > 5 kΩ). Output switching frequency equals oscillator frequency.
5 GND power_in Device ground and current return for control circuitry and totem-pole output stage. In the SOIC-8/PDIP-8 package the signal and power grounds share this pin (the SOIC-14 D-suffix splits them).
6 Output output High-current totem-pole gate-drive output for the external power MOSFET. Capable of ±1 A peak source/sink; typical VOH ≈ 13.5 V and VOL ≈ 0.1 V at 20 mA. Rise/fall times ~50 ns into 1 nF.
7 VCC power_in Positive supply for the control IC and output driver. UVLO thresholds for the UC3845B are 8.5 V (on) / 7.6 V (off). Absolute max 36 V (internally zener-clamped); typical startup current 0.3 mA, operating current ~12 mA.
8 Vref power_out Buffered 5.0 V ±1% precision reference output (4.95-5.05 V at 25 °C, 1 mA). Sources up to ~50 mA to bias external circuitry and to feed the oscillator timing resistor RT. Short-circuit protected (~85 mA typ).

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
uc3845bd1r2g.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
uc3845bd1r2g-etched.step 2.8 MB You want the part with UC3845BD1R2G already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 680 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:
