Note 6: Output frequency equals oscillator frequency for the UC1842A and UC1843A. Output frequency is one half oscillator frequency for the UC1844A and UC1845A. Note 7: "Temperature stability, sometimes referred to as average temperature coefficient, is described by the equation: VREF (max ) - VREF (min ) .VREF (max) and VREF (min) are the maximum & minimum reference voltTemp Stability = TJ (max ) - TJ (min ) age measured over the appropriate temperature range. Note that the extremes in voltage do not necessarily occur at the extremes in temperature." Note 8: This parameter is measured with RT = 10k to VREF.This contributes approximately 300 A of current to the measurement. The total current flowing into the RT/C pin will be approximately 300 A higher than the measured value. Error Amp Configuration Error Amp can Source and Sink up to 0.5mA, and Sink up to 2mA. 4 UC1842A/3A/4A/5A UC2842A/3A/4A/5A UC3842A/3A/4A/5A Under-Voltage Lockout During UVLO, the Output is low.

Oscillator Section Oscillator Frequency vs Timing Resistance Maximum Duty Cycle vs Timing Resistor Open-Loop Laboratory Test Fixture High peak currents associated with capacitive loads necessitate careful grounding techniques. Timing and bypass capacitors should be connected close to pin 5 in a single point ground. The transistor and 5k potentiometer are used to sample the oscillator waveform and apply an adjustable ramp to pin 3. Slope Compensation A fraction of the oscillator ramp can be resistively summed with the current sense signal to provide slope compensation for converters requiring duty cycles over 50%. Note that capacitor, C, forms a filter with R2 to suppress the leading edge switch spikes. 6 UC1842A/3A/4A/5A UC2842A/3A/4A/5A UC3842A/3A/4A/5A APPLICATIONS DATA (cont.) Off-line Flyback Regulator 5.
