ZHCSJK0A April 2019 – September 2019 UC1843B-SP
PRODUCTION DATA.
The UVLO circuit ensures that VCC is adequate to make the UC1843B-SP fully operational before enabling the output stage. Figure 5 shows that the UVLO turnon and turnoff thresholds are fixed internally at 8.4 V and 7.6 V, respectively. The 0.6-V hysteresis prevents VCC oscillations during power sequencing.
Figure 6 shows supply current requirements. Start-up current is < 1 mA for efficient bootstrapping from the rectified input of an off-line converter, as shown in Figure 7. During normal circuit operation, VCC is developed from auxiliary winding, WAux, with D1 and CIN. However, at start-up, CIN must be charged to 8.4 V through RIN. With a start-up current of 1 mA, RIN can be as large as 100 kΩ and still charge CIN when VAC = 90-V RMS (low line). Power dissipation in RIN would then be less than 350 mW even under high line (VAC = 130-V RMS) conditions.
During UVLO, the output driver is in a low state. While it does not exhibit the same saturation characteristics as normal operation, it can easily sink 1 mA, enough to ensure the MOSFET is held off. For efficient operations, an LDO can take the place of RIN and be disabled during the operation of the device.

NOTE:
During UVLO, the output driver is biased to sink minor amounts of current.
