DESCRIPTION
The UCC39002 is an advanced, high performance and
low cost loadshare controller that provides 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 need to
be paralleled.

The BiCMOS UCC39002 is based on the automatic
master/slave architecture of the UC3902 and UC3907
load share controllers. It provides 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. And with the amplifier’s common mode
range of 0-V to the 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.

DESCRIPTION (continued)
The functionality of the UCC29002/1 differs slightly compared to the UCC39002. The UCC39002 will force the
maximum adjustment range at start up to quickly engage load sharing; the UCC29002/1 ADJ amplifier will
operate in a linear mode during start up, resulting in a more gradual load sharing at turn on.
During transient conditions while adding or removing power supplies, the UCC39002 protects the system by
keeping the load share bus disconnected from the remaining supplies. By disabling the adjust function in case
a short of the load share bus occurs to either GND or the supply rail, it also provides protection for the system
against erroneous output voltage adjustment.
The UCC39002 also meets Intel’s SSI (Server System Infrastructure) loadshare specifications of a single-line
load share bus and scalable load share voltage for any level of output currents.
The UCC39002 family is offered in 8-pin MSOP (DGK), SOIC (D), and PDIP (P) packages.

SLUS495H − SEPTEMBER 2001 − REVISED AUGUST 2007
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
differential current sense amplifier (CS+, CS−, CSO)
The UCC39002 features a high-gain and high-precision amplifier to measure the voltage across a low-value
current sense resistor. Since the amplifier is fully uncommitted, the current sense gain is user programmable.
The extremely low input offset voltage of the UCC39002 current sense amplifier makes it suitable to measure
current information across a low value sense resistor. Furthermore, the input common mode range includes
ground and the positive supply rail of the UCC39002 (VDD). Accordingly, the current sense resistor can be
placed in the ground return path or in the positive output rail of the power supply VO as long as VO ≤ VDD. The
current sense amplifier is not unity gain stable and must have a minimum gain of three.
load share bus driver amplifier (CSO)
This is a unity-gain buffer amplifier to provide separation between the load share bus voltage and the output
of the current sense amplifier. The circuit implements an ideal diode with virtually 0 V forward voltage drop by
placing the diode inside the feedback loop of the amplifier. The diode function is used to automatically establish
the role of the master module in the system. The UCC39002 which is assigned to be the master uses the load
share bus driver amplifier to copy its output current information on to the load share bus.
All slave units, with lower output current levels by definition, have this “ideal diode” reversed biased
(VCSO < VLS). Consequently, the VCSO and VLS signals will be separated. That allows the error amplifier of the
UCC39002 to compare its respective module’s output current to the master module’s output current and make
the necessary corrections to achieve a balanced current distribution.
Since the bus is always driven by a single load share bus driver amplifier, the number of modules (n) are limited
by the output current capability of the amplifier according to:
n+
100 kW
I OUT,MIN
V LS,FULL_SCALE
(1)
where 100 kΩ is the input impedance of the LS pin as shown in the block diagram, IOUT,MIN is given in the data
sheet and VLS,FULL_SCALE is the maximum voltage on the load share bus at full load.
Note that the number of parallel units can be increased by reducing the full scale bus voltage, i.e. by reducing
the current sense gain.
load share bus receiver amplifier (LS)
The load share bus receiver amplifier is a unity gain buffer monitoring the load share bus voltage. Its primary
purpose is to ensure that the load share bus is not loaded by the internal impedances of the UCC39002. The
LS pin is already internally compensated and has an internal 15-kHz filter. Adding external capacitance,
including stray capacitance, should be avoided to maintain stability.

SLUS495H − SEPTEMBER 2001 − REVISED AUGUST 2007
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
error amplifier (EAO)
As pictured in the block diagram, the UCC39002 employs a transconductance also called gM type error
amplifier. The gM amplifier was chosen because it requires only one pin, the output to be accessible for
compensation.
The purpose of the error amplifier is to compare the average, per module current level to the output current of
the respective module controlled by the UCC39002. It is accommodated by connecting the buffered VLS voltage
to its non−inverting input and the VCSO signal to its inverting input. If the average per module current,
represented by the load share bus is higher than the module’s own output current, an error signal will be
developed across the compensation components connected between the EAO pin and ground. The error signal
is than used by the adjust amplifier to make the necessary output voltage adjustments to ensure equal output
currents among the parallel operated power supplies.
In case the UCC39002 assumes the role of the master load share controller in the system or it is used in
conjunction with a stand alone power module, the measured current signal on VCSO is approximately equal to
the VLS voltage. To avoid erroneous output voltage adjustment, the input of the error amplifier incorporates a
typically 25 mV offset to ensure that the inverting input of the error amplifier is biased higher than the
non−inverting input. Consequently, when the two signals are equal, there will be no adjustment made and the
initial output voltage set point is maintained.
adjust amplifier output (ADJ)
A current proportional to the error voltage VEAO on pin 6 is sunk by the ADJ pin. This current flows through the
adjust resistor RADJ and changes the output voltage of the module controlled by the UCC39002. The amplitude
of the current is set by the 500-Ω internal resistor between ground and the emitter of the amplifier’s open
collector output transistor according to Figure 1. The adjust current value is given as:
I ADJ +
V EAO
500 W
(2)
At the master module VEAO is 0 V, thus the adjust current must be zero as well. This ensures that the output
voltage of the master module remains at its initial output voltage set point at all times.
Furthermore, at insufficient bias level, during a fault or when the UCC39002 is disabled, the non-inverting input
of the adjust amplifier is pulled to ground to prevent erroneous adjustment of the module’s output voltage by
the load share controller.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
enable function (CS+, CS−)
The two inputs of the current sense amplifier are also used for implementing an ENABLE function. During
normal operation CS− = CS+ and the internal offset added between the CS− voltage and the inverting input of
the enable comparator ensures that the UCC39002 is always enabled. By forcing the CS− pin approximately
0.5-V above the CS+ pin, the UCC39002 can be forced into a disable mode. While disabled, the UCC39002
disconnects itself from the load share bus and its adjust current is zero.

Accidentally, the load share bus might be shorted to ground or to the positive bias voltage of the UCC39002.
These events might result in erroneous output voltage adjustment. For that reason, the load share bus is

SLUS495H − SEPTEMBER 2001 − REVISED AUGUST 2007
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
start up and adjust logic
The start up and adjust logic responds to unusual operating conditions during start up, fault and disable. Under
these circumstances the information obtainable by the error amplifier of the UCC39002 is not sufficient to make
the right output voltage adjustment, therefore the adjust amplifier is forced to certain known states. Similarly,
the driver amplifier of UCC39002 is disabled during these conditions.
In the UCC39002/UCC29002, during start up, the load share driver amplifier is disabled by the disconnect
switch and the adjust amplifier is forced to sink the maximum current through the adjust resistor. This operating
mode ensures that the module controlled by the UCC39002 will be able to quickly engage in sharing the load
current since its output will be adjusted to a sufficiently high voltage immediately at turn on. Both the load share
driver and the adjust amplifiers revert to normal operation as soon as the measured current exceeds 80% of
the average per module current level represented by the LS bus voltage. The UCC29002/1 does not have this
logic at start up. In this way, the UCC29002/1 will not adjust the output of the module to its maximum adjustment
range at turn on and engages load sharing at more moderate rate.
In case of a fault shorting the load share bus to ground or to the bias of the UCC39002 the load share bus driver
and the adjust amplifiers are disabled. The same action takes place when the UCC39002 is disabled using the
CS+ and CS− pins or when the bias voltage is below the minimum operating voltage.
bias and bias OK circuit (VDD)
The UCC39002 is built on a 15-V, high performance BiCMOS process. Accordingly the maximum voltage across
the VDD and GND pins (pin 3 and 4 respectively) is limited to 15 V. The recommended maximum operating
voltage is 13.5 V which corresponds to the tolerance of the on-board 14.2-V Zener clamp circuit. In case the
bias voltage could exceed the 13.5-V limit, the UCC39002 should be powered through a current limiting resistor.
The current into the VDD pin must be limited to 10 mA as listed in the absolute maximum ratings table.
The bypass capacitor for VDD is also the compensation for the input active clamp of the device and, as such,
must be placed as close to the device pins (VDD and GND) as possible, using a good quality low ESL capacitor,
including trace length. The device is optimized for a capacitor value of 0.1 µF to 1 µF.

SLUS495H − SEPTEMBER 2001 − REVISED AUGUST 2007
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The UCC39002 does not have an undervoltage lockout circuit. The bias OK comparator works as an enable
function with a 4.375-V threshold. While VDD < 4.375 V the load share control functions are disabled. While this
might be inconvenient for some low voltage applications it is necessary to ensure high accuracy. The load share
accuracy is dependent on working with relatively large signal amplitudes on the load share bus. If the internal
offsets, current sense error and ground potential difference between the UCC39002 controllers are comparable
in amplitude to the load share bus voltage, they can cause significant current distribution error in the system.
The maximum voltage on the load share bus is limited approximately 1.7-V below the bias voltage level (VDD)
which would result in an unacceptably low load share bus amplitude therefore poor accuracy at low VDD levels.
To circumvent this potential design problem, the UCC39002 won’t operate below the above mentioned 4.375-V
bias voltage threshold. If the system does not have a suitable bias voltage available to power the UCC39002,
it is recommended to use an inexpensive charge pump which can generate the bias voltage for all the
UCC39002s in the load share system.
The maximum VDD of the UCC39002 is 15 V. For higher-voltage applications, use the application solution as
recommended in Figure 4. A Zener clamp on the VDD pin is provided internally so the device can be powered
from higher voltage rails using a minimum number of external components.
The CSA inputs must be adjusted so as to not exceed their absolute maximum voltage ratings.

Figure 5. Typical High-Side Application for Single Power Module
In Figure 5, P1 represents the output voltage terminals of the module, S1 represents the remote sense terminals
of the module, and a signal on the SB2 terminal will enable the disconnect feature of the device. The load share
bus is the common bus between all of the paralleled load share controllers. VDD must be decoupled with a good
quality ceramic capacitor returned directly to GND.

DESIGN PROCEDURE
the shunt resistor
Selection of the shunt resistor is limited by its voltage drop at maximum module output current. This voltage drop
should be much less than the voltage adjustment range of the module:
I OUT(max)
R SHUNT tt D V ADJ(max)
(3)
Other limitations for the sense resistor are the desired minimum power dissipation and available component
ratings.
the CSA gain
The gain of the current sense amplifier is configured by the compensation components between Pin 1, CS−,
and Pin 8, CSO, of the load share device. The voltage at the CSO pin is limited by the saturation voltage of the
internal current sense amplifier and must be at least two volts less than VDD:
V CSO(max) t VDD * 2 V
(4)
The maximum current sense amplifier gain is equal to:
A CSA +
V CSO
ǒRSHUNT
Ǔ
I OUT(max)
(5)
Referring to Figure 5, the gain is equal to R16/R15 and a high-frequency pole, configured with C13, is used for
noise filtering. This impedance is mirrored at the CS+ pin of the differential amplifier as shown.
The current sense amplifier output voltage, VCSO, serves as the input to the unity gain LS bus driver. The module
with the highest output voltage forward biases the internal diode at the output of the LS bus driver and determine
the voltage on the load share bus, VLS. The other modules act as slaves and represent a load on the IVDD of
the module due to the internal 100-kΩ resistor at the LS pin. This increase in supply current for the master
module is equal to N(VLS/100 kΩ).

DESIGN PROCEDURE
determining RADJUST
The Sense+ terminal of the module is connected to the ADJ pin of the load-share controller. By placing a resistor
between this ADJ pin and the load, an artificial Sense+ voltage is created from the voltage drop across RADJUST
due to the current sunk by the internal NPN transistor. The voltage at the ADJ pin must be maintained at
approximately 1 V above the voltage at the EAO pin. This is necessary in order to keep the transistor at the
output of the internal adjust amplifier from saturating. To fulfill this requirement, RADJUST is first calculated using
the following equation:
R ADJUST w
ƪ
ǒDVADJ(max) * IOUT(max)
V OUT * DV ADJ(max) * 1 V *
Ǔ
R SHUNT
ǒ
DV ADJ(max)
R SENSE
500 W
Ǔƫ
500 W
(6)
Where RSHUNT is the current sense resistor, and RSENSE is the internal resistance between VOUT+ and SENSE+
within the module.
Also needed for consideration is the actual adjust pin current. The maximum sink current for the ADJ pin,
IADJmax, is 6 mA as determined by the internal 500-Ω emitter resistor and 3-V clamp. The value of adjust resistor,
RADJUST, is based upon the maximum adjustment range of the module, ∆VADJmax. This adjust resistor is
determined using the following formula:
R ADJUST w
ƪDVADJ(max) * IOUT(max)
I ADJ(max) *
ƫ
R SHUNT
DV ADJ(max)
R SENSE
(7)
By selecting a resistor that meets both of these minimum requirements, the ADJ pin will be at least 1 V greater
than the EAO voltage and the adjust pin sink current will not exceed its 6 mA maximum.

error amplifier compensation
The total load-share loop unity-gain crossover frequency, fCO, should be set at least one decade below the
measured crossover frequency of the paralleled modules previously measured, fCO(module). (See Figure 7)
Compensation of the transconductance error amplifier is accomplished by placing the compensation resistor,
REAO, and capacitor, CEAO, between EAO and GND. The values of these components is determined using
equations (8) and (13).
