UC3842AN Pinout Equivalent

uc3842an pinout

1：Overview of the UC3842AN：

UC3842AN is a high-performance fixed-frequency current mode controller chip with a low pin count and simple external components, enabling precise duty cycle control. It operates over a wide voltage range and is commonly used in switch-mode power supplies to provide stable drive signals and protection features such as overcurrent and undervoltage protection, ensuring reliable system operation.

2：UC3842AN Important pin function definition:

No.	Name	Symbol	Description
1	Compensation	COMP	Error amplifier compensation pin. Connect external compensation components to this pin to modify the error amplifier output.
2	Voltage Feedback	V_FB	Inverting input to the internal error amplifier. VFB is used to control the power converter voltage-feedback loop for stability.
3	Current Sense	I_SENSE	Primary-side current sense pin. Connect to current sensing resistor. The PWM uses this signal to terminate the OUTPUT switch conduction.
4	Oscillator	R_T / C_T	Connect timing resistor, RRT, to VREF and timing capacitor, CCT, to GROUND from this pin to set the switching frequency and maximum output ratio. Maximum frequency can up to 500kHz.
5	Ground	GND	Ground
6	Output	OUTPUT	OUTPUT is the gate drive for the external MOSFET. Peak currents of up to 1 A are sourced and sunk by this pin.
7	Power Supply	V_CC	Provides power to the device.
8	Reference Voltage	V_REF	VREF is used to provide charging current to the oscillator timing capacitor through the timing resistor.
