8.4 Device Functional Modes

The UC1843A-SP uses fixed frequency, peak current mode control. An internal oscillator initiates the turn on of the driver to high-side power switch. The external power switch current is sensed through an external resistor and is compared via internal comparator. The voltage generated at the COMP pin is stepped down via internal resistors (as shown in the functional block diagram). When the sensed current reaches the stepped down COMP voltage, the high-side power switch is turned off.
