Checking for live stock

The UC3842AD8 PWM current-mode controller, supplied in a compact 8-pin SOIC package, is engineered to enhance the efficiency and reliability of your power supply and DC–DC converter systems. With a maximum switching frequency (500 kHz), 1 A output drive, and support for versatile topologies such as boost, buck, flyback, and forward converters, it delivers high-speed control and responsive performance. RoHS-compliant and designed to operate within a standard temperature range, it strikes a balance between ruggedness and precision. Its low-current operation, precise timing, and compact form factor make it an excellent choice for developers targeting cost-effective and high-performance power solutions.

What Benefits Do You Get?

By choosing the UC3842AD8, you benefit from:

  • High-speed switching performance – A switching frequency of up to 500 kHz enables the use of smaller passive components and more compact designs.
  • Robust current-mode control – Ensures tight regulation and protects against overloads (pulse‑by‑pulse current limiting, UVLO).
  • Low-power operation – Minimal start-up and operating current saves energy and improves system efficiency.
  • Adaptive compensation built in – Features like automatic feed‑forward and slope compensation simplify design and improve stability.
  • Flexible application compatibility – Suits a wide array of converters (boost, buck, flyback, forward) across industrial and consumer electronics.
  • Manufacturing and supply chain reliability – RoHS‑compliant and packaged in tube format with MSL‑1 classification (unlimited shelf life), ideal for mass‑production readiness.

Product Functional Highlights:

  • 1 A totem‑pole output drive
  • Rise and fall times of 50 ns
  • Max switching frequency: 500 kHz
  • 100% maximum duty cycle
  • Supports boost, buck, flyback, and forward converter topologies
  • Surface‑mount SOIC‑8 package (dimensions: 4.9 × 3.91 × 1.58 mm).
