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 deadtimes 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 (SO–14). The SO–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).
