High Performance
Current Mode Controllers
The UC3844, UC3845 series are high performance fixed frequency
current mode controllers. They are specifically designed for Off−Line
and DC−to−DC converter applications offering the designer a cost
effective solution with minimal external components. These integrated
circuits feature an oscillator, a temperature compensated reference, high
gain error amplifier, current sensing comparator, and a high current
totem pole output ideally suited for driving a power MOSFET.
Also included are protective features consisting of input and
reference undervoltage lockouts each with hysteresis, cycle−by−cycle
current limiting, a latch for single pulse metering, and a flip−flop which
blanks the output off every other oscillator cycle, allowing output dead
times to be programmed for 50% to 70%.
These devices are available in an 8−pin dual−in−line plastic package
as well as the 14−pin plastic surface mount (SOIC−14). The SOIC−14
package has separate power and ground pins for the totem pole output
stage.
The UCX844 has UVLO thresholds of 16 V (on) and 10 V (off),
ideally suited for off−line converters. The UCX845 is tailored for
lower voltage applications having UVLO thresholds of 8.5 V (on) and
7.6 V (off).
