DESCRIPTION
The UCC3920 Low RDSon Hot Swap Power Manager provides complete power management, hot swap capability, and circuit breaker functions. The only component
needed 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 start up delay. In the event of a constant fault, the internal fixed
2% duty cycle ratio limits the average output power.
The internal 3 bit DAC allows programming of the fault level current from 0mA to
500mA with 250mA resolution, and from 500mA to 3A with 500mA resolution. The
IMAX control pin sets the maximum sourcing current to 1A above the fault level when
driven low, and to a full 4A when driven high for applications which require fast output
charging.
When the output current is below the fault level, the output MOSFET is switched on
with a nominal resistance of 0.1Ω. When the output current exceeds the fault level or
the maximum sourcing level, the output remains on, but the fault timer starts charging
CT. Once CT charges to a preset threshold, the switch is turned off, and remains off
for 50 times the programmed fault time. When the output current reaches the maximum sourcing level, the MOSFET transitions form a switch to a constant current
source, regulating the output current at a constant level.
Other features include an Open Drain Fault Output Indicator, Thermal Shutdown, Undervoltage Lockout, –3V to –15V operation, and a low thermal resistance Small Outline Power Package. All level shifting is done internally, which means that the DAC,
IMAX and Shutdown Inputs can be driven form the logic supply. The fault output is
also referenced to the logic GND, so this can easily interface back to the logic supply.

Note 1: Guaranteed by design. Not 100% tested in production.
Note 2: Voltages measured with respect to VSS.
Note 3: An external resistor in series with VDD could be used to limit the current to 10mA if an input voltage higher than 15V is desired.
PIN DESCRIPTIONS
BO - B2: These pins provide a digital input to the DAC.
They can be used to provide a digital soft start, adaptive
current limiting, or be strapped for static applications.
current will always be 1A above the programmed trip
level, and with a logic high the linear current will always
be a constant 4A for applications which require fast
charging of load capacitance.
CT: A capacitor connected to CT sets the maximum fault
time. The maximum must be more than the time to charge
external load capacitance. The maximum fault time is
defined as TFAULT = 28 • 103 • CT. Once the fault time is
reached the output will shutdown for a time given by: TSD
= 1.67 • 106 • CT, this equates to a 2% duty cycle.
SHTDWN: When this pin is brought down low the IC is
put into a sleep mode.
VDD: Positive input voltage to the circuit breaker. The
input voltage range is 3V to 5.5V. If the total voltage
excursion, VDD - VSS could be 15V or greater, VDD
should have an external limiting resistor in series with it.
FAULT: Open drain output which, pulls low, from VDD to
GND, upon any condition which causes the output to
open: Fault, Thermal Shutdown, or Shutdown.
VSS: The input voltage to the circuit breaker. The
recommended voltage range is –3.3V to –15V.
GND: Reference return for VDD and VSS (VIN). This
serves as the reference point for digital signals.
VOUT: Output voltage for the circuit breaker. When
switched the output voltage will be approximately VIN +
0.1Ω • IOUT.
IMAX: When this pin is at a logic low the linear output

Note 1: Most applications will require a capacitor mounted between VOUT and GND at the IC pins to cancel out stray inductance.

Estimating Maximum Load Capacitance
For a worst-case constant-current load of value just
less than the trip limit; COUT(max) can be estimated
from:
For power management applications, the rate at which
the total output capacitance can be charged depends
on the maximum output current available and the nature of the load. For a constant-current current-limited
circuit, the output will rise if the load asks for less than
the maximum available short-circuit current.

Where VOUT is the output voltage.
For a resistive load of value RI, the value of COUT(max)
can be estimated from:
To guarantee duty-cycle recovery of the current-limited
power manager from a short-circuited load condition,
there is a maximum total output capacitance which can
be charged for a given unit ON time (Fault time). The
design value of ON or Fault time can be adjusted by
changing the timing capacitor CT.

UCC3920 ON TIME CONTROL CIRCUITRY
UDG-96238-1
The overcurrent comparator senses both the DAC output and a representation of the output current. When
the output current exceeds the programmed level the
timing capacitor CT charges with 36µA of current. If
the fault occurs for the time it takes for CT to charge
up to 1.5V, the fault latch is set and the output switch
is opened. The output remains opened until CT dis-
charges to 0.5V with a 0.6µA current source. Once the
0.5V is reached the output is enabled and will either
appear as a switch, if the fault is removed, or a current
source if the fault remains. If the over current condition
is still present then CT will begin charging, starting the
cycle over, resulting in approximately a 2% duty cycle.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATION
Hot Swap of VSS (Input)
Although the UCC3920 is designed to provide system
protection for all fault conditions, all integrated circuits
can ultimately fail short. For this reason, if the
UCC3920 is intended for use in safety critical applications where UL or some other safety rating is required,
a redundant safety device such as a fuse should be
placed in series with the device. The UCC3920 will prevent the fuse from blowing for virtually all fault conditions, increasing system reliability and reducing maintenance cost, in addition to providing the hot swap
benefits of the device.
