Product details
Overview
E-UC2844BD1013TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-performance current-mode PWM controller IC designed for fixed-frequency off-line and DC-DC power supplies. It features a trimmed oscillator (250 kHz guaranteed), 0–50% maximum duty cycle due to internal toggle flip-flop, under-voltage lockout (16 V on / 10 V off), and a totem-pole output capable of ±1 A peak drive - used to control N-channel MOSFETs in flyback or forward converters.
For engineers reviewing the E-UC2844BD1013TR datasheet, E-UC2844BD1013TR pinout, E-UC2844BD1013TR application, or E-UC2844BD1013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include UVLO threshold compatibility, <50% duty-cycle constraint, current-sense gain (3.0 V/V), 5.0 V reference accuracy (±50 mV), and SO8 thermal performance (Rth j-amb = 150 °C/W).
Technical Context
The E-UC2844BD1013TR implements current-mode control with automatic feed-forward compensation and latching PWM for cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Its error amplifier provides 90 dB open-loop gain and 1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, enabling stable loop compensation in isolated topologies.
Oscillator frequency is set via external RT/CT network (e.g., RT = 6.2 kΩ, CT = 1 nF yields 250 kHz), with discharge current tightly trimmed (7.5–8.8 mA) and temperature-stable frequency variation (<±1%). The internal toggle flip-flop enforces ≤50% duty cycle by blanking every other clock cycle - distinguishing it from UC2842B/3B variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Oscillator Frequency | Guaranteed 250 kHz at 25°C; supports up to 500 kHz with external component tuning. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 47–50% - enforced by internal toggle flip-flop; prevents transformer saturation in forward/flyback designs. |
| UVLO Threshold | 16 V turn-on / 10 V turn-off - optimized for universal AC input offline adapters with bulk capacitor startup. |
| Current Sense Gain | 3.0 V/V (±5%) - converts sense resistor voltage to precise 1 V trip point for accurate peak-current limiting. |
| Reference Voltage | 5.00 V ±50 mV (0–70°C); supplies 1 mA typical charging current for CT via RT - enables stable oscillator timing. |
| Output Drive | ±1 A peak sink/source - directly drives gate capacitance of medium-power N-MOSFETs without buffer stage. |
| Start-up Current | <0.5 mA at 6.5 V - minimizes auxiliary winding losses during initial power-up in flyback converters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO8 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit, 150 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance). Pin numbering follows standard SO8 top-view layout with 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COMP | Error amplifier output | Provides access to EA output for Type II/III compensation networks; high-impedance node requiring low-leakage capacitor. |
| 2 - VFB | Inverting input of error amplifier | Connected to feedback divider from output; sets regulation point via 2.5 V internal reference comparator. |
| 3 - ISENSE | Current sense input | Accepts voltage from primary-side sense resistor; triggers PWM latch at 1 V threshold (gain × sensed voltage). |
| 4 - RT/CT | Oscillator timing interface | RT connects to VREF (pin 8) and CT to GND (pin 5); sets fOSC and max duty cycle via RC time constant. |
| 5 - GROUND | Signal and power return | Single-point ground for control circuitry and power stage; critical for noise immunity in current-mode operation. |
| 6 - OUTPUT | Gate driver output | Totem-pole stage sinks or sources up to 1 A; low-state voltage ≤0.4 V at 20 mA ensures MOSFET turn-off robustness. |
| 7 - VCC | Supply input | Operates from 10–30 V; internal zener clamp at 36 V protects against transient overvoltage on startup winding. |
| 8 - VREF | 5 V reference output | Stable 5.0 V source with ±50 mV tolerance; supplies bias for RT and supports external circuitry with ≤20 mA load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latched PWM with cycle-by-cycle current limit | Prevents secondary failure during overload or short-circuit by disabling output until next clock cycle reset. |
| Internally trimmed 5 V reference | ±50 mV accuracy over temperature eliminates need for external trimming in cost-sensitive SMPS designs. |
| Automatic feed-forward compensation | Compensates for line-voltage variations in real time without additional sensing circuitry or op-amps. |
| Low start-up current (<0.5 mA) | Reduces dissipation in high-impedance startup resistors, enabling smaller, cooler auxiliary supply networks. |
| High-current totem-pole output | Drives 1 nF gate capacitance with <150 ns rise/fall times - sufficient for MOSFETs up to ~200 W output. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-mode PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UC3844BD1 | Same pinout and electrical specs; rated for 0–70°C ambient (vs. –40 to 105°C for UC2844B) | Not qualified for extended temperature industrial or automotive environments | Select when operating ambient stays below 70°C and cost is prioritized over extended temp rating |
| NCP1200DR2G | Fixed 65 kHz frequency; no adjustable RT/CT; integrated soft-start; lower start-up current (100 µA) | Lacks programmable frequency and duty cycle; suited for low-cost, low-power adapters only | Choose for <15 W applications where simplicity and ultra-low standby power outweigh flexibility |
Compared with UC3844BD1, E-UC2844BD1013TR offers wider temperature qualification and identical SO8 footprint; versus NCP1200DR2G, it delivers full programmability and higher output drive but requires more external components and lacks integrated soft-start.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended oscillator frequency for E-UC2844BD1013TR?
The device supports oscillator frequencies up to 500 kHz per datasheet specifications, achieved using small CT values (e.g., 100 pF) and low RT (e.g., 10 kΩ). At 500 kHz, propagation delays and gate drive capability remain within specification, but PCB layout must minimize parasitic inductance on RT/CT and GND paths to maintain stability.
Does E-UC2844BD1013TR require external slope compensation in continuous conduction mode (CCM)?
Yes - slope compensation is required for stable CCM operation in boost, flyback, or forward converters. The internal current-sense comparator lacks built-in ramp injection; designers must add a sawtooth voltage (typically derived from RT/CT node) summed into the ISENSE pin via a resistor network to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle.
Can E-UC2844BD1013TR drive a P-channel MOSFET directly?
No - the OUTPUT pin is a totem-pole stage referenced to GND (pin 5), sinking current when low and sourcing when high. It cannot directly drive a high-side P-MOSFET gate, which requires a negative gate-source voltage relative to source. An external level-shifting circuit or dedicated high-side driver is required for P-MOSFET use.
How does the UVLO hysteresis affect system reliability in offline applications?
The 6 V hysteresis (16 V on / 10 V off) prevents chattering during brown-out conditions near the turn-off threshold. In offline flyback designs, this ensures clean restart after AC dropout and avoids repeated stress on the MOSFET and transformer caused by unstable cycling near the minimum bulk capacitor voltage.
