Product Summary

The UC3845N is a high performance fixed frequency current mode controller. It is specifically designed for Off-Line and dc-to-dc converter applications offering the designer a cost effective solution with minimal external components. The UC3845N features 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%. The UC3845N is 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 UC3845N has UVLO thresholds of 16 V (on) and 10 V (off), ideally suited for off-line converters. It is tailored for lower voltage applications having UVLO thresholds of 8.5 V (on) and 7.6 V (off).
