PWM CONTROLLER CURRENT MODE BOOST/FLYBACK 8SOIC
STMicroelectronics

Bypass caps, pull-ups, strapping resistors, custom silkscreen & more
Design a Custom BoardCurrent-mode PWM controller IC for offline and DC-DC converter applications with fixed-frequency operation up to 500kHz. Features internal oscillator, precision reference, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and high-current totem-pole output suitable for driving N-channel MOSFETs. The UC3845B variant operates at 8.5V UVLO threshold with 0-50% duty cycle range, ideal for low-voltage boost and flyback topologies with minimal external component count.
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.
