Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Current-mode PWM controller IC for offline and DC-DC switching power supplies with fixed-frequency operation up to 500kHz. Features include internally trimmed oscillator, precision voltage reference, latching PWM with cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and high-current totem pole output for driving N-channel MOSFETs. The UC3844B variant includes a toggle flip-flop limiting duty cycle to less than 50%, making it ideal for flyback and boost converter topologies requiring lower maximum duty cycles.
Package: SOIC-8 (3.9×4.9mm) · 8 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
An 8-pin SOIC with 1.27mm pitch is too fine for breadboards and hand-soldering without a microscope. A breakout board routes these pins to standard 0.1" headers, enabling rapid prototyping and reliable connections for op-amps, transceivers, and small power MOSFETs without requiring reflow equipment.
