DESCRIPTION
• Programmable Transconductance for
Optimum Current Drive
The UC39432 is an adjustable precision analog controller with 100mA sink
capability if the ISET pin is grounded. A resistor between ISET and ground
will modify the transconductance while decreasing the maximum current
sink. This will add further control in the optocoupler configuration. The
trimmed precision reference along with the non-inverting error amplifier inputs are accessible for custom configuration. A sister device, the UC39431
adjustable shunt regulator, has an on-board resistor network providing six
preprogrammed voltage levels, as well as external programming capability.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
COLL: The collector of the output transistor with a maximum voltage of 36V. This pin is the output of the
transconductance amplifier. The overall open loop voltage gain of the transconductance amplifier is gm • RL,
where gm is designed to be –140mS ±30mS and RL represents the output load.
REF: The output of the trimmed precision reference. It
can source or sink 10 A and still maintain the 1% temperature specification.
SENSE: The inverting terminal of the error amplifier used
as both the voltage sense input to the error amplifier and
its other compensation point. The error amplifier uses the
SENSE input to compare against the 1.3V on-chip reference.
COMP: The output of the error amplifier and the input to
the transconductance amplifier. This pin is available to
compensate the high frequency gain of the error amplifier. It is internally voltage limited to approximately 2.0V.
The SENSE pin is also used as the undervoltage lockout
(UVLO). It is intended to keep the chip from operating until the internal reference is properly biased. The threshold
is approximately 1V. It is important that once the UVLO is
released, the error amplifier can drive the
transconductance amplifier to stabilize the loop. If a capacitor is connected between the SENSE and COMP
pins to create a pole, it will limit the slew rate of the error
amplifier. To increase the bandwidth and ensure startup
at low load current, it is recommended to create a zero
along with the pole as shown in the UC39431 shunt regulator application. The error amplifier must slew 2.0V to
drive the transconductance amplifier initially on.
EA+: The non-inverting input to the error amplifier.
GND: The reference and power ground for the device.
The power ground of the output transistor is isolated on
the chip from the substrate ground used to bias the remainder of the device.
ISET: The current set pin for the transconductance amplifier. The transconductance will be –140mS as specified
in the electrical table if this pin is grounded. If a resistance RL is added to the ISET pin, the resulting new
transconductance is calculated using the following equation: gm = –0.714V • (5.1 + RL). The maximum current
will be approximately
I MAX =
VCC: The power connection for the device. The minimum
to maximum operating voltage is 2.2V to 36.0V. The quiescent current is typically 0.50mA.

OVERVOLTAGE COMPARATOR APPLICATION
OPTOCOUPLER APPLICATION
The signal VIN senses the input voltage. As long as the
input voltage is less than 5.5V, the output is equal to the
voltage on VIN. During this region of operation, the diode
is reversed biased which keeps the EA+ pin at 1.3V.
When VIN exceeds the over voltage threshold of 5.5V, the
output is driven low. This forward biases the diode and
creates hysteresis by changing the threshold to 4.5V.
The optocoupler application shown takes advantage of
the accessible pins REF and ISET. The ISET pin has a
33 ohm resistor to ground that protects the opto-coupler
by limiting the current to about 16mA. This also lowers
the transconductance to approximately 19mS. The ability
to adjust the transconductance gives the designer further
control of the loop gain. The REF pin is available to satisfy any high precision voltage requirements.
