UC3842-TD is an 8-pin current-mode PWM controller intended for offline and DC-DC switching power supplies.

Best for

  • Offline switch-mode power supplies
  • DC-DC converters using an external MOSFET

Avoid if

  • A design requires documented compliance or lifecycle status not supplied by this datasheet
  • A controller with integrated power MOSFET is required

Check before use

  • Confirm DIP-8 versus SOP-8 ordering option
  • Design VCC startup and auxiliary bias around the UVLO thresholds
  • Keep the current-sense signal within the specified input limits
