DESCRIPTION
The UC1851 family of PWM controllers are optimized for off-
line primary side control. These devices include a high current
totem pole output stage and a toggle flip-flop for absolute 50%
duty cycle limiting. In all other respects this line of controllers is
pin for pin compatible with the UC1841 series. Inclusion of all
major housekeeping functions in these high performance con-
trollers makes them ideal for use in cost sensitive applications.
Important features of these controllers include low current
start-up, linear feed-forward for constant volt-second operation,
and compatibility with both voltage or current mode control. In
addition, these devices include a programmable start thresh-
old, as well as programmable over-voltage, under-voltage, and
over current fault thresholds. The fault latch on these devices
can be configured for automatic restart, or latched off response
to a fault.
These devices are packaged in 18-pin plastic or ceramic dual-
in-line packages, or for surface mount applications, a 20 Pin
PLCC. The UC1851 is characterized for -55°C to +125°C op-
eration while the UC2851 and UC3851 are designed for -40°C
to +85°C and 0°C to +70°C, respectively.

R
C
R
C
R
is normally selected
≤

T
and its value will have some effect upon valley duty cycle.
Limiting the minimum value for I
SENSE
into pin 11 will establish a maximum duty cycle clamp.
C
R
terminal can be used as an input port for current mode control.
Conventional operational amplifier for closed-loop gain and phase compensation.
Low output impedance; unity-gain stable.
The output is held low by the slow start voltage at turn on in order to minimize overshoot.
Precision 5.0V for internal and external usage to 50mA.
Tracking 3.0V reference for internal usage only with nominal accuracy of
±2%.
40V clamp zener for chip OV protection, 100mA maximum current.
Generates output pulse which starts at termination of clock pulse and ends when the ramp input
crosses the lowest of two positive inputs.
Terminates the PWM output pulse when set by inputs from either the PWM comparator, the
pulse-by-pulse comparator, or the error latch. Resets with each internal clock pulse.
Totem pole output stage capable of sourcing and sinking 1 amp peak current. The active "on" state
is high.

SEQUENCING FUNCTIONS
1. Start/UV Sense:
With an increasing voltage, this comparator generates a turn-on signal and releases the slow start
clamp at a start threshold.
With a decreasing voltage, it generates a turn-off command at a lower level separated by a 200µA
hysteresis current.
2. Drive Switch:
Disables most of the chip to hold internal current consumption low, and Driver Bias OFF, until input
voltage reaches start threshold.
3. Driver Bias:
Supplies drive to external circuitry upon start-up.
4. Slow Start:
Clamps low to hold PWM OFF. Upon release, rises with rate controlled by R
S
C
S
for slow increase of
output pulse width.
Can also be used as an alternate maximum duty cycle clamp with an external voltage divider.
PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
1. Error Latch:
When set by momentary input, this latch insures immediate PWM shutdown and hold off until reset.
Inputs to Error Latch are:
a. OV > 3.2V (Typically 3V)
b. Stop > 2.4V (Typically 1.6V)
c. Current Sense 400mV over threshold. (Typical).
Error Latch resets when slow start voltage falls to 0.4V if Reset Pin < 2.8V. With Pin 5 > 3.2V,
Error Latch will remain set.
2. Current Limiting:
Differential input comparator terminates individual output pulses each time sense voltage rises
above threshold.
When sense voltage rises to 400mV (typical) above threshold, a shutdown signal is sent to Error
Latch.
3. External Stop:
A voltage over 2.4 will set the Error Latch and hold the output off.
A voltage less than 0.8V will defeat the error latch and prevent shutdown.
A capacitor here will slow the action of the error latch for transient protection by providing a Typical
Delay of 13ms/µF.
