tem pole output stage designed to source or sink
high peak current. The output stage, suitable for
driving N-Channel MOSFETs, is low in theoff-state.
Differences between members of this family are the
under-voltage lockout thresholds and maximum
DESCRIPTION duty cycle ranges. The UC3842 and UC3844 have
UVLO thresholds of 16V (on) and 10V (off), ideally
TheUC3842/3/4/5family of controlICs provides the suited off-line applications The corresponding
necessary features to implement off-line or DC to thresholds for the UC3843 and UC3845 are 8.5 V
DC fixed frequency current mode control schemes and 7.9 V. The UC3842 and UC3843 can operate
with a minimal externalparts count.Internallyimple- to duty cycles approaching 100%. A range of the
