PRODUCTION DATA
REF is the voltage reference for the error amplifier and also for many other functions on the IC. REF is also used as the logic power supply for high-speed switching logic on the IC. When VCC is greater than 1 V and less than the UVLO threshold, REF is pulled to ground through a 5-kΩ resistor. This means that REF can be used as a logic output indicating power system status. It is important for reference stability that REF is bypassed to GND with a ceramic capacitor as close to the pin as possible. An electrolytic capacitor may also be used in addition to the ceramic capacitor. A minimum of 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor is required. Additional REF bypassing is required for external loads greater than 2.5 mA on the reference. To prevent noise problems with high-speed switching transients, bypass REF to ground with a ceramic capacitor close to the IC package.
The UCC2802 and UCC2804 have a 5-V reference. The UCC2803 and UCC2805 have a 4-V reference; both ±1.5% versus ±2% on the UC3842 family. The output short-circuit current is lower 5 mA versus 30 mA. REF must be bypassed to ground with a ceramic capacitor to prevent oscillation and noise problems. REF can be used as a logic output; as when VCC is lower than the UVLO threshold, REF is held low.
