
LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
OPEN-LOOP LABORATORY TEST FIXTURE
High peak current associated with capacity loads necessitate careful grounding techniques. Timing and bypass
capacitors should be connected close to Pin 5 in single point GND. The transistor and 5kΩ potentio-meter are used
to sample the oscillator waveform and apply an adjustable Ramp to Pin 3.

UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
During Under-Voltage Lockout, the output driver is biased to a high impedance state. Pin 6 should be shunt to
GND with a bleeder resistor to prevent activating the power switch with output leakage currents.

SLOPE COMPENSATION


A fraction of the oscillator ramp can be resistively summed with the current sense signal to provide slope
compensation for converts requiring duty cycles over 50%.Note that capacitor C, forms a filter with R2 to suppress
the leading edge switch spikes.

Sense resistor
Shutdown UTC UC3842A can be accomplished by two methods; either raise Pin 3 above 1V or pull Pin 1 below a
voltage two diode drops above ground. Either method caused the output of PWM comparator to be high(refer to
block diagram). The PWM latch is reset dominant so that the output will remain low until the next clock cycle after the
shutdown condition at Pins 1 and/or 3 is removed. In one example, an externally latched shut-down may be
accomplished by adding an SCR which be reset by cycling VCC below the lower UVLO threshold. At this point the
reference turns off allowing the SCR to reset.
