The UCCx8C5x family of devices are high-performance current-mode PWM controllers that can drive both Si and SiC MOSFETs in various applications. The UCCx8C5x family is a more efficient and robust version of the UCCx8C4x. The UCCx8C5x family has new UVLO thresholds that allow for reliable SiC MOSFET operation (UCC28C56-59), in addition to existing UVLO thresholds for continued Si MOSFET support (UCCx8C50-55). VDD absolute maximum voltage rating is extended from 20 V to 30 V for optimally driving the gate of 20-V gs, 18-V gs, or 15-V gs SiC MOSFETs, while also allowing for the exclusion of an external LDO. The UCCx8C5x family is offered in 8-pin VSSOP (DGK), and 8-pin SOIC (D) packages.

The UCC29002 device family comprises advanced, high-performance, low-cost load-share controllers that provide all necessary functions to parallel multiple independent power supplies or DC-to-DC modules. Targeted for high-reliability applications in server, workstation, telecom, and other distributed power systems, the controller is suitable for N+1 redundant systems or high-current applications where off-the-shelf power supplies must be paralleled. The BiCMOS UCC29002 is based on the automatic leader/follower architecture of predecessorUC3902andUC3907load-share controllers. The device is capable of better than 1% current-share error between modules at full load by using a very-low offset post-package-trimmed current-sense amplifier and a high-gain negative-feedback loop. With an amplifier common-mode range of 0V to the VDD supply rail, the current-sense resistor, RSHUNT, can be placed in either the GND return path or in the positive output rail of the power supply.

The UCC3912 family of hot swap power managers provides complete power management, hot swap capability, and circuit breaker functions. The only component required to operate the device, other than supply bypassing, is the fault timing capacitor, CT. All control and housekeeping functions are integrated, and externally programmable. These include the fault current level, maximum output-sourcing current, maximum fault time, and startup delay. In the event of a constant fault, the internal fixed 3% duty cycle ratio limits average output power. The internal 4-bit DAC allows programming of the fault level current from 0 A to 3 A with 0.25-A resolution. The IMAX control pin sets the maximum sourcing current to 1 A above the fault level when driven low, and to a full 4 A when driven high for applications which require fast output capacitor charging. When the output current is below the fault level, the output MOSFET is switched on with a nominal on resistance of 0.15. When the output current exceeds the fault level, but is less than the maximum sourcing level, the output remains switched on, but the fault timer starts charging CT. Once CTcharges to a preset threshold, the switch is turned off, and remains off for 30 times the programmed fault time. When the output current reaches the maximum sourcing level, the MOSFET transitions from a switch to a constant current source. The UCC3912 family is designed for unidirectional current flow, emulating an ideal diode in series with the power switch. This feature is particularly attractive in applications where many devices are powering a common bus, such as with SCSI Termpwr. The UCC3912 family can be put into sleep mode drawing only 1-µA of supply current. The SHTDWN\ pin has a preset threshold hysteresis which allows the user the ability to set a time delay upon startup to achieve sequencing of power. Other features include an open drain FAULT\ output indicator, thermal shutdown, under voltage lockout, and a low thermal resistance small outline package.

The UCCx913 family of negative voltage circuit breakers provides complete power management, hot-swap, and fault handling capability. The device is referenced to the negative input voltage and is driven through an external resistor connected to ground, which is essentially a current drive as opposed to the traditional voltage drive. The on-board 10-V shunt regulator protects the device from excess voltage and serves as a reference for programming the maximum allowable output sourcing current during a fault. In the event of a constant fault, the internal timer limits the on-time from less than 0.1% to a maximum of 3%. The duty cycle modulates depending on the current into the PL pin, which is a function of the voltage across the FET, and limits average power dissipation in the FET. The fault level is fixed at 50 mV across the current-sense resistor to minimize total dropout. The fault current level is set with an external current sense resistor. The maximum allowable sourcing current is programmed with a voltage divider from VDD to generate a fixed voltage on the IMAX pin. The current level, when the output appears as a current source, is equal to VIMAX/RSENSE. If desired, a controlled current startup can be programmed with a capacitor on the IMAX pin. When the output current is below the fault level, the output device is switched on. When the output current exceeds the fault level, but is less than the maximum sourcing level programmed by the IMAX pin, the output remains switched on, and the fault timer starts charging CT. Once CT charges to 2.5 V, the output device is turned off and performs a retry some time later. When the output current reaches the maximum sourcing current level, the output appears as a current source, limiting the output current to the set value defined by IMAX. Other features of the UCCx913 family include undervoltage lockout, and 8-pin small outline (SOIC) and dual-in-line (DIP) packages.

All control and housekeeping functions are integrated, and externally programmable. These include the fault current level, maximum output sourcing current, maximum fault time, and startup delay. In the event of a constant fault, the internal fixed 2% duty cycle ratio limits average output power. The internal 4-bit DAC allows programming of the fault-level current from 0 A to 3 A with 0.25-A resolution. The IMAX control pin sets the maximum-sourcing current to 1 A above the trip level or to a full 4 A of output current for fast output capacitor charging. When the output current is below the fault level, the output MOSFET is switched on with a nominal ON resistance of 0.15.

When the output current reaches the maximum sourcing level, the MOSFET transitions from a switch to a constant current source. The UCC3915 can be put into sleep mode, drawing only 100 uA of supply current. Other features include an open-drain fault-output indicator, thermal shutdown, undervoltage lockout, 7-V to 15-V operation, and low-thermal resistance SOIC and TSSOP power packages.
