UC3842: Noise on RtCt pin

Atul Bhakay1
Prodigy 160 points
Part Number: UC3842

Hi 

I have built a power supply circuit using UC3842 . Input of power supply is 20VDC to 70VDC and

Output : a) 5V/0.3A (GND 1)

b) 24V / 0.2A and 5V / 0.2A  (GND 2)

c) 24V / 0.2A and 5V / 0.2A  (GND 3)

The power supply s functioning satisfactorily on full load throughout the input voltage range

Kindly go thro the RtC pin waveform and advise how to get rid of the noise

    Hello Atul,

    If you capture the RT/CT pin voltage and Main FET Vds in the same waveform, you may find that the noise you mentioned happens at Main FET turn on or turn off point. that is a switching noise and no influence for the controller operation, why you need to get rid of it ?

    Thanks.

    Hi Jaden Ning,

    Yes, you were 100% correct. The noise is at the point the MOSFET turn on or off.

    Also, as you mentioned, it has no influence on the controller operation. 

    So actually I do not need to get rid of it.

    Thanks once again

    This resolved my issue.
