DESCRIPTION
The UTC UC2843B provides off-line or DC-DC
fixed-frequency current-mode control design with minimum
external components. Internally-implemented circuits include an
under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and a precision reference with
accuracy at the error amplifier input. The UTC UC2843B also
contain internal circuits which include a pulse width modulation
(PWM) comparator providing current-limit control, logic ensuring
latched operation, and a totem-pole output stage designed to
source or sink high-peak current. The output stage is low when it
is in off-state condition and suitable for N-channel MOSFETs
driving.
The UTC UC2843B also has following advantages: the
start-up current lower than 0.5mA while the oscillator discharge
current is specified to 8.3mA (Typ.). In UVLO conditions, the
output has a maximum saturation voltage of 1.2V when sinking
10mA@VCC = 5V.
The typical UVLO threshold of the UTC UC2843B is 8.4V
(on) and 7.6V (off) and can operate to duty cycles approximately
100%.


DESCRIPTION
This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made available for loop compensation.
This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the
switching power supply output through a resistor divider.
A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input. The PWM uses
this information to terminate the output switch conduction.
The Oscillator frequency and maximum Output duty cycle are programmed by
connecting resistor RT to VREF and capacitor CT to ground. Operation to 500 kHz is
possible.
This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground.
This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to 1.0A are
sourced and sunk by this pin.
This pin is the positive supply of the control IC.
This is the reference output. It provides charging current for capacitor CT through
resistor RT.

Current-sense circuit:
Notes: 1. Peak current (IS) is determined by the formula: IS(max) = 1V/RS
2. A small RC filter formed by resistor RF and capacitor CF may be required to suppress switch transients.

LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
APPLICATION INFORMATION(Cont.)
Open-Loop Laboratory Test Fixture
In the open-loop laboratory test fixture, high peak currents and loads need grounding techniques. The transistor
and 5-kΩ potentiometer sample the oscillator waveform, applying an adjustable ramp to the ISENSE terminal. Timing
and bypass capacitors should be connected closely to the GND terminal in a single-point ground.
Shutdown Technique
The PWM controller can be shut down through two methods: the one is raising voltage (above 1 V) at ISENSE, the
other is pulling the COMP terminal below a voltage two diode drops above ground. Either method can leave the
output of the PWM comparator high (refer to block diagram). To reset the PWM latch is dominant so the output can
stay low in the case of the next clock cycle is coming and the COMP or ISENSE terminal is removed beyond this
shutdown condition. For example, an externally-latched shutdown can be accomplished by adding an SCR reset by
cycling VCC below the lower UVLO threshold. So the reference turns off then allows the SCR to reset at this
condition.
