μ
High peak current associated with capacity loads necessitate careful grounding techniques. Timing and bypass
capacitors should be connected close to pin5 in single point GND.
UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
During Under-Voltage Lockout, the output driver is biased to a high impedance state. Pin6 should be shunt to GND with a bleeder resistor to prevent activing the power switch with output leakage currents.
ERROR AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION
Error amplifier can source or sink up to 0.5mA
CURRENT SENSE CIRCUIT
Peak current (I S ) determined by the formula: I SMAX =1V/Rs. A small RC filter be required to suppress switch
transients
OSCILLATOR AND STANDBY MODE
We can judge the state of output load through the voltage of PIN1. In order to reduce the standby power, it will reduce the OSC frequency at right load. When V COMP ≤2.2V, the OSC frequency begins to reduce. The normal frequency is 52KHz, the minimum frequency is 14KHz.

SHUTDOWN TECHNIQUE
Shutdown UTC UC3842G can be accomplished by two methods; either raise pin 3 above 1V or pull Pin 1 below a voltage two diode drops above ground.
