FEATURES
The LND3842B/43B/44B/45B and LND3842A
/43A/44A/45A are fixed frequency current mode
PWM controllers. They are specially designed for
OFF-line and DC to DC converter applications with
a minimal of external components. Internally
implemented circuits include a trimmed oscillator for
precise duty cycle control, a temperature
compensated reference, high gain error amplifier,
current sensing comparator. Protection circuitry
includes undervoltage lockout and current limiting.
The LND3843B, A and LND3844B, A have UVLO
thresholds of 16V(on) and 10 V (off). The
corresponding thresholds for the LND3843B, A/
45B,A are 8.4 V (on) and 7.6(off). The LND3842B,
A and LND3843B, A can operate within 100% duty
cycle. The LND3844B, A and LND3845B, A can
operate within 50% duty cycle.
The LND384XB has Start-Up current of .45mA(typ).
The LND384XA has Start-Up current of .17mA(typ).

No FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
1 COMP This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made for loop compensation
2V
FB
This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to
the switching power supply output through a resistor divider.
3I
SENSE
A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input. The
PWM uses this information to terminate the output switch conduction.
4R
T/CT
The oscillator frequency and maximum Output duty cycle are programmed
by connecting resistor RT to Vref and capacitor CT to ground.
5 GROUND This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground
6OUTPUT This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to
1A are sourced and sinked by this pin.
7V
CC This pin is the positive supply of the integrated circuit.
8V
REF
This is the reference output. It provides charging current for capacitor CT
through resistor RT.
