Description
The ST1843HR and ST1845HR ICs are rad-
tolerant current mode PWM controllers providing
an industry standard solution for the
implementation of provides the off-line or DC to
DC fixed frequency current mode control
schemes with a minimal external parts count.
Its radiation hardness and hermetic packaging
makes it an ideal choice for aerospace and other
harsh environments.

Pin functions
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 output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to 1A 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.
