Application Notes
- DN-30 Programmable Electronic Circuit BreakerPDF, 164 Kb, File published: Sep 5, 1999
This design note describes a programmable electronic circuit breaker that uses the UC3843A control IC to facilitate a high-speed turnoff following an overcurrent condition. This low-cost industry-standard IC contains the required protection features and drive capability in a single 8-pin device. - DN-29 UC3842A Family - Frequency Foldback Technique Provides ProtectionPDF, 51 Kb, File published: Sep 5, 1999
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 - DN-26 UC3842A Low-Cost Start-up and Fault Protection CircuitPDF, 155 Kb, File published: Sep 5, 1999
The UC1842/3/4/5 family of control ICs can implement off-line or DC-to-DC fixed-frequency current-mode control schemes with a minimal external parts count. This design note describes a circuit with low startup current (less than 0.5mA) MOSFET-compatible undervoltage lockout thresholds programmable restart-delay HICCUP fault protection auxiliary 5V precision reference and overvoltage/overtemper - DN-27 UC1842/UC1842A Family - Summary of Functional DifferencesPDF, 21 Kb, File published: Sep 5, 1999
