 TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT

Open Loop Test Circuit

All of the parameters are not all tested in production, although been guaranteed. The timing and bypass capacitors

must be connected to pin 5 in a single point ground very closely. To sample the oscillator waveform, the transistor

and 5kΩ potentiometer are used, and also can apply an adjustable ramp to ISENSE pin.

Under Voltage Lockout

Under-Voltage Lock-Out: the output driver is biased to a high impedance state. To prevent activating the power

switch with output leakage current, pin 6 should be shunted to ground with a bleeder resistor.

CT (Oscillator timing capacitor) can be charged by VREF through RT and discharged by an internal current source. At

discharge time, the internal clock signal blanks the output to the low. Both oscillator frequency and maximum duty

cycle can be determined by Selection of RT and CT. All charge and discharge times can be calculated by the next

Shutdown Techniques

The UTC UC3842B’s shutdown can be accomplished by two ways: raise pin 3 above 1V; or pull pin 1 below a

voltage two diode drops above ground. Either method can cause the PWM comparator’s output to be high. Because

the PWM latch is reset dominant, the output will remain low until the next clock cycle after the shutdown condition at

pins 1 and/or 3 is removed.
