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.

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.

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

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.

current amplifier.

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.

Figure 4. Disabling the UCC3830-x.
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.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (cont.)
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.

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

voltages.
