Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum switching frequency of the UC2843N?
The UC2843N supports switching frequencies up to 500 kHz. This high frequency capability allows designers to use smaller transformers and inductors, reducing the overall size and cost of the power supply. The oscillator frequency is set by an external resistor and capacitor connected to the RT/CT pins.
What input voltage range does the UC2843N support?
The UC2843N operates with an input voltage range of 8.2 V to 28 V, with a nominal operating voltage of 15 V. It features an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) that keeps the device off until the supply reaches the startup threshold, protecting the power supply during low-voltage conditions.
What are typical applications for the UC2843N?
The UC2843N is commonly used in offline switch-mode power supplies, DC-DC converters (flyback, forward, boost topologies), battery chargers, and industrial power supplies. Its current-mode control technique is especially suitable for applications requiring fast transient response and inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
Is the UC2843N RoHS compliant and what package does it come in?
Yes, the UC2843N is Pb-free (RoHS compliant, JESD-609 code e4). It is housed in an 8-Pin PDIP (Dual In-Line Package) package, which is ideal for through-hole PCB assembly. The PDIP package provides easy hand-soldering and is widely supported by standard IC sockets.
