Update: 29 September, 2023
The AS2842 family of control ICs provide pin-for-pin replacement of the industry standard UC3842 series of devices. The devices are redesigned to provide significantly improved tolerances in power supply manufacturing. The 2.5 V reference has been trimmed to 1.0% tolerance. The oscillator discharge current is trimmed to provide guaranteed duty cycle clamping rather than specified discharge current. The circuit is more completely specified to guarantee all parameters impacting power supply manufacturing tolerances. In addition, the oscillator and flip-flop sections have been enhanced to provide additional performance. The RT/CT pin now doubles as a synchronization input that can be easily driven from open collector/open drain logic outputs. This sync input is a high impedance input and can easily be used for externally clocked systems. The new flip-flop topology allows the duty cycle on the AS2844/5 to be guaranteed between 49 and 50%. The AS2843/5 requires less than 0.5 mA of start-up current over the full temperature range.
