AS2842/3/4/5
Features
Description
The AS2842 family of control ICs provide pin-for-pin replace-
ment of the industry standard UC3842 series of devices. The
devices are redesigned to provide significantly improved
tolerances in power supply manufacturing. The 2.5 V refer-
ence has been trimmed to 1.0% tolerance. The oscillator
discharge current is trimmed to provide guaranteed duty
cycle clamping rather than specified discharge current. The
circuit is more completely specified to guarantee all param-
eters impacting power supply manufacturing tolerances.
In addition, the oscillator and flip-flop sections have been
enhanced to provide additional performance. The R
T
/C
T
pin
now doubles as a synchronization input that can be easily
driven from open collector/open drain logic outputs. This
sync input is a high impedance input and can easily be used
for externally clocked systems. The new flip-flop topology
allows the duty cycle on the AS2844/5 to be guaranteed
between 49 and 50%. The AS2843/5 requires less than
0.5 mA of start-up current over the full temperature range.

This pin is the error amplifier output. Typically used to provide loop compensation to
maintain V
FB
at 2.5 V.
Inverting input of the error amplifier. The non-inverting input is a trimmed 2.5 V
bandgap reference.
A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to the input. The PWM uses
this information to terminate the gate drive of the output.
Oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle are set by connecting a resistor
(R
T
) to V
REG
and a capacitor (C
T
) to ground. Pulling this pin to ground or to V
REG
will
accomplish a synchronization function.
Circuit common ground, power ground, and IC substrate.
This output is designed to directly drive a power MOSFET switch. This output can sink
or source peak currents up to 1A. The output for the AS2844/5 switches at one-half the
oscillator frequency.
Positive supply voltage for the IC.
This 5 V regulated output provides charging current for the capacitor C
T
through the
resistor R
