UC1843A-EP: Datasheet curve showing Duty-Cycle vs RT value

Part Number: UC1843A-EP

Tool/software:

Would you please tell me how the curve for Max Duty-Cycle vs Timing Resistor was derived?

I looked in Unitrode App Note U-111 and couldn't find that information.

Regards,

  • Hi,

    Set up CT = 3.3nF, FB =0, ISESE=0, COMP = open, VREF with 0.1uF capacitor, VCC = 15V, measure CT saw tooth time between two peaks as T, and measure OUT = high time duration, tmax, then Dmax = tmax/T, along with RT change from 500-ohm to 100k-ohm.
