HLF UC2842 – Current-Mode PWM Controller (DIP8) Input Voltage: 16V – 30V | Operating Temperature: 0°C to +70°C (UC3842), –40°C to +85°C (UC2842) | Through-Hole Package

HLF

The HLF UC2842 (DIP8) is a high-performance current-mode PWM controller designed for use in off-line and DC-DC converter applications. It combines a precision 5V reference, high-gain error amplifier, oscillator, and high-current output stage to drive power MOSFETs or BJTs directly. The UC2842 provides excellent dynamic performance and protection features in a compact through-hole package.
