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
LINEAR INTEGRATED 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 I
SENSE
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.
