lockouts each with hysteresis, cycle-by-cycle
current limiting, programmable output dead time,
and a latch for single pulse metering.
These devices are available in 8-pin
dual-in-line ceramic and plastic packages as well
as the 8-pin plastic surface mount (SO-8). And

14-pin plastic surface mount (SO-14). SO-14

package Figure Teng column output stage has a
separate power and ground pins.
H

Difference between members of this series is

the under-voltage lockout thresholds. The
UC3842B has UVLO thresholds of 16 V (on) and
10 V (off), ideally suited for off-line converters.
The corresponding thresholds for the UC3843B
are 8.5 V and 7.9 V.
