UC3842 Current Mode PWM Controller
The UC3842 is the high performance fixed frequency current mode controller.
The integrated circuits of UC3842 are trimmed oscillator, high gain error
amplifier, current sensing comparator and high current totem pole output.
These devices are available in an 8 pin PDIP packages and 14 pin SOIC
packages.
The UC3842 has under-voltage lockout (UVLO) threshold of 16V (on) and 10V
(off). In other words, to power on the UC3842, we need to gradually increase
until 16V and then reduce to the normal operating voltage. Reduce the supply
voltage below 10V will power off the UC3842.

Loop Compensator Network

The pin 1 and pin 2 will provide the connection to the loop
compensator.
The value of the components shown in
Figure can be calculated by using the follow
equations.

Oscillator configuration

The oscillator configuration is used to set the switching frequency, fsw for
UC3842. We can program the switching frequency through the pin 4 (RT /
CT pin) by using a capacitor CT and a resistor RT.
For RT > 5k, the switching frequency is equal to:

 Slope Compensation
In UC3842, the slope compensation
can be done by injecting a portion of
oscillator ramp waveform to the
actual primary current sense signal.
A fraction of the oscillator ramp can
be resistively semmed with the
current sense signal.
This method can provides a slope
compensation for converter
requiring duty cycles over 50%.
Figure shows the implementation of
slope compensation in UC3842.

The Rf is set 1k and Rslope is 1.87k. Electronic System Design 9

 CURRENT SENSING AND LIMITING
The UC3842 current sense input is configured as shown in Figure
Current-to-voltage conversion is done externally with ground-referenced resistor Rs.
Under normal operation the peak voltage across Rs is controlled by the E/A according to
the following relation: where VC = control voltage = E/A output voltage.
The control to sensed current gain
The inverting input to the UC3842 current-sense comparator is internally clamped to 1V.
Current limiting occurs if the voltage at pin 3 reaches this threshold value, i.e., the current
limit is defined by:

 Error Amplifier
The error amplifier (E/A)
configuration is shown in Figure
The non-inverting input is not
brought out to a pin, but is
internally biased to 2.5V 2%.
The E/A output is available at pin
1 for external compensation,
allowing the user to control the
converters closed-loop frequency
response.
