Despite the fact that the UC3842 and the UCC3802 PWM Controllers are pin-for-pin compatible, they are not drop-in replacements for each other. Designed as the next generation '42, the UCC3809 also has differences that prevent a simple drop-in substitute. This design note will help the user change from either the UC3842 or the UCC3802 to the UCC3809 in an existing design. A table identifies the mos

The fundamental challenge of power supply design is to realize simultaneously two conflicting objectives: good electrical performance and low cost. The UC3842/3/4/5 control ICs are integrated pulse-width modulators (PWMs). These inexpensive IC controllers provide all the performance advantages of current-mode operation. In addition the UC3842 series is optimized for efficient power-sequencing of

Excessive power dissipation can occur in switch-mode power supplies during startup and overload conditions. Many sophisticated PWM controllers provide the means for protection against these problems; however simple low-cost controllers require additional circuitry. This design note describes a circuit that uses only one additional resistor and transistor to enhance the performance of the UC3842A

Bipolar linear integrated circuits have been with us for years in the form of PWM and PFC controllers supervisory circuits and other circuits. Since these devices have traditionally used relatively high-voltage (35V) bipolar processes powering was not a concern. In addition many of these ICs contained high-current protection zeners to keep higher voltages from damaging the devices. With a numb
