ucc38c42 or uc3842

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCC38C42, UC3842, UC2842

Hi All,

Can I change the UCC38C42 (original from Fuji FA13842) to UC3842?

Please answer me a.s.a.p!

Thx. Imre

  • Imre,

    The two parts perform the same function however they are not pin for pin compatible. For instance the startup current for the UC3842 can be up to 1 ma while the UCC38c42 is a high of 0.1ma. So a circuit that is designed to start with a 0.1ma current will not necessarily start a UC2842.

    You will have to go through each line in each spec and see the differences.
