DESCRIPTION
The AIC3843 control IC provides the features
that are necessary to implement off-line or
DC/DC Converter fixed-frequency current-mode
schemes with a minimum number of external
components. This integrated circuits features
an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with approxi-
mately 300µA start-up current, a precision
reference trimmed for accuracy at the error
amplifier input, high gain error amplifier, current
sensing comparator, logic to insure latched
operation, and a totem-pole output stage
designed to source or sink high peak current.
The output stage, suitable for driving the N-
channel MOSFETs, is low in the off state.

During under-voltage lockout, the output driver is biased to sink minor amounts of
current. Pin 6 should be shunted to ground with a bleeder resistor to prevent
activating the power switch with extraneous leakage currents.
