PIN CONNECTION

The KA3842A KA3842AM

are fixe frequency current-mode
PWM controller. They are specially designed for OFFLine and DCtoDC converter
applications 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 totempole
output ideally suited for driving a power MOSFET.
Protection circuity includes built undervoltage lockout and current limiting.
The KA3842A,KA3842AM
have UVLO thresholds of 16 V(on) and 10 V (off).
The KA3842A ,KA384AM
can
operate
within 100% duty cycle The KA3842A has been proven
in applications using the same external components as Motorola's parts,among others .The KA3842AM
has been optimized for compatibility with Samsung's parts Many applications can use either
The KA3842A KA3842AM have Start-Up Current 0,45 mA
KA3842A or KA3842AM
