UCC3830-4/-5/-6 5-Bit Microprocessor Power Supply Controller FEATURES DESCRIPTION • 5-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) The UCC3830-4/-5/-6 is a fully integrated single chip solution ideal for powering high performance microprocessors. The chip includes an average current mode PWM controller, has a fully integrated 5-Bit DAC, and includes an on-board precision reference and voltage monitor circuitry. The UCC3830-x converts 5VDC to an adjustable output, ranging from 3.5VDC down to 1.8VDC with 1% DC system accuracy (see Table 1). The UCC3830-x fully supports Intel’s 4-bit Pentium® Pro and 5-bit Pentium® II VID codes. • Supports 4-Bit and 5-Bit Microprocessor VID Codes • Combined DAC/Voltage Monitor and PWM Functions • 1% DAC/Reference • Current Sharing • 100kHz, 200kHz, 400kHz Oscillator Frequency Options • Foldback Current Limiting • Overvoltage and Undervoltage Fault Windows The accuracy of the DAC/reference combination is 1%. The overvoltage and undervoltage comparators monitor the system output voltage and indicate when it rises above or falls below its programmed value by more than 8.5%. A second overvoltage protection comparator pulls the current amplifier output voltage low to force zero duty cycle when the system output voltage exceeds its designed value by more than 17.5%. This comparator also terminates the cycle. Undervoltage lockout circuitry assures the correct logic states at the outputs during powerup and powerdown. The gate output can be disabled by bringing the CAO/ENBL pin to below 0.8V. • Undervoltage Lockout (continued) • 4Ω Totem Pole Output • Chip Disable Function BLOCK DIAGRAM UDG-96188-2 02/99 Powered by ICminer.com Electronic-Library Service CopyRight 2003 UCC3830-4/-5/-6 DESCRIPTION (cont.) CONNECTION DIAGRAM The voltage and current amplifiers have a 3MHz gain bandwidth product to satisfy high performance system requirements. The internal current sense amplifier permits the use of a low value current sense resistor, minimizing power loss. The oscillator frequency is fixed internally at 100kHz, 200kHz, or 400kHz, depending upon the option selected. The foldback circuit reduces the converter short circuit current limit to 50% of its nominal value when the converter is short circuited. The gate driver is a 4Ω totem pole output stage capable of driving an external MOSFET. SOIC-20 (Top View) DW Package This device is available in 20-pin dual in-line and surface mount packages.

Powered by ICminer.com Electronic-Library Service CopyRight 2003 3 UCC3830-4/-5/-6 PIN DESCRIPTIONS CAM (Current Amplifier Inverting Input): The average load current feedback from ISOUT is applied through a resistor to this pin. The current loop compensation network is also connected to this pin (see CAO/ENBL below). respect to GND. Bypass capacitors on the VCC and VREF pins should be connected directly to the ground plane near the GND pin. IS– (Current Sense Amplifier Inverting Input): This pin is the inverting input to the current sense amplifier and is connected to the low side of the average current sense resistor. CAO/ENBL (Current Amplifier Output/Chip Enable): The current loop compensation network is connected between this pin and CAM. The voltage on this pin is the input to the PWM comparator and regulates the output voltage of the system. The GATE output is disabled (held low) unless the voltage on this pin exceeds 1V, allowing the PWM to force zero duty cycle when necessary. The PWM forces maximum duty cycle when the voltage on CAO/ENBL exceeds the oscillator peak voltage (3V). A 3.2V clamp circuit prevents the CAO/ENBL voltage from rising excessively past the oscillator peak voltage for excellent transient response. The user can force this pin below 0.8V externally with an open collector, disabling the GATE drive. IS+ (Current Sense Amplifier Noninverting Input): This pin is the noninverting input to the current sense amplifier and is connected to the high side of the average current sense resistor. ISOUT (Current Sense Amplifier Output): This pin is the output of the current sense amplifier. The voltage on this pin is (COMMAND + GCSA • I • RSENSE), where COMMAND is the voltage on the COMMAND pin, GCSA is the fixed gain of the current sense amplifier, equal to 15, I is the current through the sense resistor, and RSENSE is the value of the average current sensing resistor. COMMAND (Digital-to-Analog Converter Output Voltage): This pin is the output of the 5-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and the noninverting input of the voltage amplifier. The voltage on this pin sets the switching regulator output voltage. This voltage ranges from 1.8V to 3.5V as programmed by the 5-bit DAC according to Table 1. The GATE output is disabled when all 1s or illegal codes are presented at the 5 Bit DAC. The COMMAND source impedance is typically 1.2kΩ and must therefore drive only high impedance inputs if accuracy is to be maintained. Bypass COMMAND with a 0.01µF, low ESR, low ESL capacitor for best circuit noise immunity. PGND (Power Ground): This pin provides a dedicated ground for the output gate driver. The GND and PGND pins should be connected externally using a short printed circuit board trace close to the IC. Decouple VIN to PGND with a low ESR capacitor 0.10µF. PWRGOOD (Undervoltage/Lower Overvoltage Output): This pin is an open drain output which is driven low to reset the microprocessor when VSENSE rises above or falls below its nominal value by 8.5%. The on resistance of the open drain switch will be no higher than 470Ω. The OV and UV comparators’ hysteresis is fixed at 20mV independent of the COMMAND voltage. COMP (Voltage Amplifier Output): The system voltage compensation network is applied between COMP and VFB. VIN (Positive Supply Voltage): This pin supplies power to the chip. Connect VIN to a stable voltage source of at least 10.8V. The GATE and PWRGOOD outputs will be held low until VCC exceeds the upper undervoltage lockout threshold. This pin should be bypassed directly to the GND pin. D0 - D4 (DAC Digital Input Control Codes): These are the DAC digital input control codes, with D0 representing the least significant bit (LSB) and D4, the most significant bit (MSB) as shown in Table 1. A bit is set low by being connected to GND. A bit is set high by floating it, or connecting it to a 5V source. Each control pin is pulled up to approximately 5V by an internal 70µA current source. VFB (Voltage Amplifier Inverting Input): This input is connected to COMP through a feedback network and to the power supply output through a resistor or a divider network. VREF (Voltage Reference Output): This pin provides an accurate 5V reference and is internally short circuit current limited. VREF powers the D/A converter and also provides a threshold voltage for the UVLO comparator. For best reference stability, bypass VREF directly to GND with a low ESR, low ESL capacitor of at least 0.01µF. GATE (PWM Output, MOSFET Driver): This output provides a 4Ω totem pole driver. Use a series resistor between this pin and the gate of the external MOSFET to prevent excessive overshoot. GND (Signal Ground): All voltages are measured with Powered by ICminer.com Electronic-Library Service CopyRight 2003 4 UCC3830-4/-5/-6 PIN DESCRIPTIONS (cont.) VSENSE (Output Voltage Sensing Input): This pin is connected to the system output voltage through a low pass filter. When the voltage on VSENSE rises above or falls below the COMMAND voltage by 8.5%, the PWRGOOD output is driven low to reset the microprocessor. When the voltage on VSENSE rises above the COMMAND voltage by 17.5%, the OVP comparator pulls the current amplifier output voltage below the oscillator valley voltage to force zero duty cycle at the GATE output. This pin is also used by the foldback current limiting circuitry. TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CURVES The curves shown in Figures 1 and 2 depict the typical high gain-bandwidth products for the UCC3830-x Voltage Amplifier, Current Amplifier and Current Sense Ampli- fiers. These high gain-bandwidth devices help achieve an excellent transient response to load and line changes. Figure 1. Open loop gain for UCC3830 voltage and current amplifier. Figure 2. Current sense amplifier gain vs frequency. APPLICATION INFORMATION Short Circuit Current Limit The short circuit current limit, ISC, is set according to: ISC = 1.28V RSENSE • GCSA where RSENSE is the average current sense resistor and GCSA is the current sense amplifier gain. GCSA equals 15. Example: Choose RSENSE to set the short circuit limit at 17A using the UCC3830-5 RSENSE = 1.28V = 0.005Ω. 17A • 15 A lower resistance value may be needed if the AC ripple current in the inductor is more than 20% of the load current.

The UCC3830-x incorporates short circuit current foldback, as shown in Figure 3. When the output of the power supply is short circuited, the output voltage falls. When the output voltage reaches 1/2 of its nominal voltage (COMMAND/2) then the output current is reduced. This feature reduces the amount of current in the MOSFET, diode and capacitors, and insures high reliability. Figure 5. Input capacitors current waveform. Setting the Output Voltage Using the DAC The 5-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is programmed according to Table 1. The COMMAND voltage is always active as long as the UCC3830 VIN pin is above the undervoltage lockout voltage. The output gate drive, GATE, is disabled at certain DAC codes, as shown in Table 1. Disabling the gate drive disables the power supply. Enabling/Disabling the UCC3830-x Gate Drive The CAO/ENBL pin can be used to disable the UCC3830 gate drive by forcing this pin below 0.8V, as shown in Figure 4. Bringing the voltage below the valley of the PWM oscillator ramp will insure a 0% duty cycle, effectively disabling the gate drive. A low noise open collector signal should be used as an Enable/Disable command.

Choosing the Input Capacitor Figure 6 show the RMS current handled by the total input capacitance in typical VRM circuits delivering 1.8V to 2.8V and powered from 5V. The input capacitors are chosen primarily based on their switching frequency RMS current handling capability and their voltage rating. The input capacitors must handle virtually all of the RMS current at the switching frequency, even if the circuit does not have an input inductor. The switching current in the input capacitors appears as shown in Figure 5. Related Publications U-156 and U-157 are Unitrode Application Notes describing the operation of the UC3886 and the UC3886/ UC3910 together in a Pentium® Pro application. Typical Application The amount of RMS current in an Aluminum Electrolytic capacitor has a strong impact on the reliability and lifetime of the capacitor. Other factors which affect the life of an input capacitor are internal heat rise, external airflow, the amount of time that the circuit operates at maximum current and the operating voltage. The curves in The UCC3830-x is ideal for converting the 5.0V system bus into the required Pentium® Pro bus voltage. The 3.3V system bus can also be converted using the UCC3830-x when the Pentium® Pro requires lower bus voltages. Table I. Parts list.
