Description for the UC3842A
The UCx84xA family of control devices is a pin-for-pin compatible improved version of the UCx84x family. Providing the necessary features to control current-mode or switched-mode power supplies, this family of devices has many improved features: startup current is less than 0.5mA, oscillator discharge is trimmed to 8.3mA, and during UVLO, the output stage can sink at least 10mA at less than 1.2V for VCC over 5V.
