DESCRIPTION
The UTC UC3842B/3843B are specifically designed for
off-line and dc-to-dc converter applications offering the designer
a cost-effective solution with minimal external components.
The UC3842B has UVLO thresholds 16V (on) and 10V(off),
ideally suited for off-line converters. The UC3843B is tailored for
lower voltage applications having UVLO thresholds of 8.4V(on)
and 7.6V(off).


TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT
Open Loop Test Circuit
All of the parameters are not all tested in production, although been guaranteed. The timing and bypass capacitors
must be connected to Pin 5 in a single point ground very closely. To sample the oscillator waveform, the transistor
and 5kΩ potentiometer are used, and also can apply an adjustable ramp to ISENSE Pin.

Under Voltage Lockout
Under-Voltage Lock-Out: the output driver is biased to a high impedance state. To prevent activating the power
switch with output leakage current, Pin 6 should be shunted to ground with a bleeder resistor.

CT (Oscillator timing capacitor) can be charged by VREF through RT and discharged by an internal current source.
At discharge time, the internal clock signal blanks the output to the low. Both oscillator frequency and maximum duty
cycle can be determined by Selection of RT and CT. All charge and discharge times can be calculated by the next
formulas:

TO CURRENT
SENSE-RESISTOR
The UTC UC3842B’s shutdown can be accomplished by two ways: raise Pin 3 above 1V; or pull Pin 1 below a
voltage two diode drops above ground. Either method can cause the PWM comparator’s output to be high. Because
the PWM latch is reset dominant, the output will remain low until the next clock cycle after the shutdown condition at
Pins 1 and/or 3 is removed.
