High Performance
Current Mode Controllers
The UC3842B, UC3843B series are high performance fixed
frequency current mode controllers. They are specifically designed for
Off−Line and dc−to−dc converter applications offering the designer a
cost−effective solution with minimal external components. These
integrated circuits feature a trimmed oscillator for precise duty cycle
control, 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, programmable output deadtime, and a latch for single
pulse metering.
These devices are available in an 8−pin dual−in−line and surface
mount (SOIC−8) plastic package as well as the 14−pin plastic surface
mount (SOIC−14). The SOIC−14 package has separate power and
ground pins for the totem pole output stage.
The UCX842B has UVLO thresholds of 16 V (on) and 10 V (off),
ideally suited for off−line converters. The UCX843B is tailored for
lower voltage applications having UVLO thresholds of 8.5 V (on) and
7.6 V (off).

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Pin
8−Pin 14−Pin Function Description
1 1 Compensation This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made available for loop compensation.
2 3 Voltage
Feedback This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the switching
power supply output through a resistor divider.
3 5 Current
Sense A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input. The PWM uses this
information to terminate the output switch conduction.
4 7 RT/CTThe Oscillator frequency and maximum Output duty cycle are programmed by
connecting resistor RT to Vref and capacitor CT to ground. Operation to 500 kHz
is possible.
5 GND This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground.
6 10 Output This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to 1.0 A are
sourced and sunk by this pin.
7 12 VCC This pin is the positive supply of the control IC.
8 14 Vref This is the reference output. It provides charging current for capacitor CT through resistor RT.
8 Power
Ground This pin is a separate power ground return that is connected back to the power source. It is
used to reduce the effects of switching transient noise on the control circuitry.
11 VCThe Output high state (VOH) is set by the voltage applied to this pin. With a separate
power source connection, it can reduce the effects of switching transient noise on the
control circuitry.
9 GND This pin is the control circuitry ground return and is connected back to the power
source ground.
2,4,6,13 NC No connection. These pins are not internally connected.

OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The UC3842B, UC3843B series are high performance,
fixed frequency, current mode controllers. They are
specifically designed for Off−Line and dc−to−dc converter
applications offering the designer a cost−effective solution
with minimal external components. A representative block
diagram is shown in Figure 18.
Oscillator
The oscillator frequency is programmed by the values
selected for the timing components RT and C T. Capacitor CT
is charged from the 5.0 V reference through resistor RT to
approximately 2.8 V and discharged to 1.2 V by an internal
current sink. During the discharge of CT, the oscillator
generates an internal blanking pulse that holds the center
input of the NOR gate high. This causes the Output to be in
a low state, thus producing a controlled amount of output
deadtime. Figure 2 shows RT versus Oscillator Frequency
and Figure 3, Output Deadtime versus Frequency, both for
given values of CT. Note that many values of R T and CT will
give the same oscillator frequency but only one combination
will yield a specific output deadtime at a given frequency.
The oscillator thresholds are temperature compensated to
within ±6% at 50 kHz. Also because of industry trends
moving the UC384X into higher and higher frequency
applications, the UC384XB is guaranteed to within ±10% at
250 kHz. These internal circuit refinements minimize
variations of oscillator frequency and maximum output duty
cycle. The results are shown in Figures 4 and 5.
In many noise−sensitive applications it may be desirable
to frequency−lock the converter to an external system clock.
This can be accomplished by applying a clock signal to the
circuit shown in Figure 21. For reliable locking, the
free−running oscillator frequency should be set about 10%
less than the clock frequency. A method for multi−unit
synchronization is shown in Figure 22. By tailoring the
clock waveform, accurate Output duty cycle clamping can
be achieved.
Error Amplifier
A fully compensated Error Amplifier with access to the
inverting input and output is provided. It features a typical
dc voltage gain of 90 dB, and a unity gain bandwidth of
1.0 MHz with 57 degrees of phase margin (Figure 8). The
non−inverting input is internally biased at 2.5 V and is not
pinned out. The converter output voltage is typically divided
down and monitored by the inverting input. The maximum
input bias current is −2.0 A which can cause an output
voltage error that is equal to the product of the input bias
current and the equivalent input divider source resistance.
The Error Amp Output (Pin 1) is provided for external
loop compensation (Figure 32). The output voltage is offset
by two diode drops (1.4 V) and divided by three before it
connects to the non−inverting input of the Current Sense
Comparator. This guarantees that no drive pulses appear at
the Output (Pin 6) when pin 1 is at its lowest state (VOL).
This occurs when the power supply is operating and the load
is removed, or at the beginning of a soft−start interval
(Figures 24, 25). The Error Amp minimum feedback
resistance is limited by the amplifiers source current
(0.5 mA) and the required output voltage (VOH) to reach the
comparators 1.0 V clamp level:
Rf(min) 3.0 (1.0 V) + 1.4 V
0.5 mA = 8800
Current Sense Comparator and PWM Latch
The UC3842B, UC3843B operate as a current mode
controller, whereby output switch conduction is initiated by
the oscillator and terminated when the peak inductor current
reaches the threshold level established by the Error
Amplifier Output/Compensation (Pin 1). Thus the error
signal controls the peak inductor current on a
cycle−by−cycle basis. The Current Sense Comparator PWM
Latch configuration used ensures that only a single pulse
appears at the Output during any given oscillator cycle. The
inductor current is converted to a voltage by inserting the
ground−referenced sense resistor RS in series with the
source of output switch Q1. This voltage is monitored by the
Current Sense Input (Pin 3) and compared to a level derived
from the Error Amp Output. The peak inductor current under
normal operating conditions is controlled by the voltage at
pin 1 where:
Ipk = V(Pin 1) − 1.4 V
3 RS
Abnormal operating conditions occur when the power
supply output is overloaded or if output voltage sensing is
lost. Under these conditions, the Current Sense Comparator
threshold will be internally clamped to 1.0 V. Therefore the
maximum peak switch current is:
Ipk(max) = 1.0 V
RS
When designing a high power switching regulator it
becomes desirable to reduce the internal clamp voltage in
order to keep the power dissipation of RS to a reasonable
level. A simple method to adjust this voltage is shown in
Figure 23. The two external diodes are used to compensate
the internal diodes, yielding a constant clamp voltage over
temperature. Erratic operation due to noise pickup can result
if there is an excessive reduction of the Ipk(max) clamp
voltage.
A narrow spike on the leading edge of the current
waveform can usually be observed and may cause the power
supply to exhibit an instability when the output is lightly
loaded. This spike is due to the power transformer
interwinding capacitance and output rectifier recovery time.
The addition of an RC filter on the Current Sense Input with
a time constant that approximates the spike duration will
usually eliminate the instability (refer to Figure 27).

Undervoltage Lockout
Two undervoltage lockout comparators have been
incorporated to guarantee that the IC is fully functional
before the output stage is enabled. The positive power
supply terminal (VCC) and the reference output (Vref) are
each monitored by separate comparators. Each has built−in
hysteresis to prevent erratic output behavior as their
respective thresholds are crossed. The VCC comparator
upper and lower thresholds are 16 V/10 V for the UCX842B,
and 8.4 V/7.6 V for the UCX843B. The Vref comparator
upper and lower thresholds are 3.6 V/3.4 V. The large
hysteresis and low startup current of the UCX842B makes
it ideally suited in off−line converter applications where
efficient bootstrap startup techniques are required
(Figure 34). The UCX843B is intended for lower voltage
dc−to−dc converter applications. A 36 V Zener is connected
as a shunt regulator from VCC to ground. Its purpose is to
protect the IC from excessive voltage that can occur during
system startup. The minimum operating voltage (VCC) for
the UCX842B is 11 V and 8.2 V for the UCX843B.
These devices contain a single totem pole output stage that
was specifically designed for direct drive of power
MOSFETs. It is capable of up to ±1.0 A peak drive current
and has a typical rise and fall time of 50 ns with a 1.0 nF load.
Additional internal circuitry has been added to keep the
Output in a sinking mode whenever an undervoltage lockout
is active. This characteristic eliminates the need for an
external pull−down resistor.
The SOIC−14 surface mount package provides separate
pins for VC (output supply) and Power Ground. Proper
implementation will significantly reduce the level of
switching transient noise imposed on the control circuitry.
This becomes particularly useful when reducing the Ipk(max)
clamp level. The separate VC supply input allows the
designer added flexibility in tailoring the drive voltage
independent of VCC. A Zener clamp is typically connected
to this input when driving power MOSFETs in systems
where VCC is greater than 20 V. Figure 26 shows proper
power and control ground connections in a current−sensing
power MOSFET application.
Reference
The 5.0 V bandgap reference is trimmed to ±1.0%
tolerance at T J = 25°C on the UC284XB, and ±2.0% on the
UC384XB. Its primary purpose is to supply charging current
to the oscillator timing capacitor. The reference has short−
circuit protection and is capable of providing in excess of
20 mA for powering additional control system circuitry.
Design Considerations
Do not attempt to construct the converter on
wire−wrap or plug−in prototype boards. High frequency
circuit layout techniques are imperative to prevent
pulse−width jitter. This is usually caused by excessive noise
pick−up imposed on the Current Sense or Voltage Feedback
inputs. Noise immunity can be improved by lowering circuit
impedances a t these points. The printed circuit layout should
contain a ground plane with low−current signal and
high−current switch and output grounds returning on
separate paths back to the input filter capacitor. Ceramic
bypass capacitors (0.1 F) connected directly to VCC, VC,
and Vref may be required depending upon circuit layout.
This provides a low impedance path for filtering the high
frequency noise. All high current loops should be kept as
short as possible using heavy copper runs to minimize
radiated EMI. The Error Amp compensation circuitry and
the converter output voltage divider should be located close
to the IC and as far as possible from the power switch and
other noise−generating components.
Current mode converters can exhibit subharmonic
oscillations when operating at a duty cycle greater than 50%
with continuous inductor current. This instability is
independent of the regulators closed loop characteristics
and is caused by the simultaneous operating conditions of
fixed frequency and peak current detecting. Figure 20A
shows the phenomenon graphically. At t0, switch
conduction begins, causing the inductor current to rise at a
slope of m1. This slope is a function of the input voltage
divided by the inductance. At t1, the Current Sense Input
reaches the threshold established by the control voltage.
This causes the switch to turn off and the current to decay at
a slope of m2, until the next oscillator cycle. The unstable
condition can be shown if a perturbation is added to the
control voltage, resulting in a small I (dashed line). With
a fixed oscillator period, the current decay time is reduced,
and the minimum current at switch turn−on (t2) is increased
by I + I m2/m1. The minimum current at the next cycle
(t3) decreases to (I + I m2/m1) (m 2/m1). This perturbation
is multiplied by m2/m1 on each succeeding cycle, alternately
increasing and decreasing the inductor current at switch
turn−on. Several oscillator cycles may be required before
the inductor current reaches zero causing the process to
commence again. If m2/m1 is greater than 1, the converter
will be unstable. Figure 20B shows that by adding an
artificial ramp that is synchronized with the PWM clock to
the control voltage, the I perturbation will decrease to zero
on succeeding cycles. This compensating ramp (m3) must
have a slope equal to or slightly greater than m2/2 for
stability. With m2/2 slope compensation, the average
inductor current follows the control voltage, yielding true
current mode operation. The compensating ramp can be
derived from the oscillator and added to either the Voltage
Feedback or Current Sense inputs (Figure 33).
