description
The UCC386/7/8 positive linear pass regulator series is tailored for low-dropout applications where extremely
low quiescent power is required. Fabricated with BiCMOS technology ideally suited for low input to output
differential applications, the UCC386/7/8 will pass 200 mA while requiring only 200 mV of input voltage
headroom. Quiescent current is typically less than 10 µA. To prevent reverse current conduction, on-chip
circuitry limits the minimum forward voltage to 50 mV typical. Once the forward voltage limit is reached, the
input-output differential voltage is maintained as the input voltage drops until undervoltage lockout disables the
regulator.

description (continued)
The UCC386 has an on-chip resistor network for preset to regulate at 3.3 V, while the UCC387 has a fixed 5-V
output. The UCC388 requires an external resistor network that can be programmed for output voltages down
to 1.25 V. The output voltage is regulated to 1.5% at room temperature and better than 2.5% over the entire
operating temperature range.
Short-circuit current is internally limited. The device responds to a sustained overcurrent condition by limiting
the duty cycle of the load to 12.5% typical. This drastically reduces the power dissipation during short circuit
such that heat sinking, if at all required, must only accommodate normal operation.
Internal power dissipation is further controlled with thermal overload protection circuitry. Thermal shutdown
occurs if the junction temperature exceeds 140°C. The chip remains in the off state until the temperature drops
to 115°C.
Pulling OFFB low commands a low-power shutdown mode, which requires less than 2-µA quiescent current.
These devices are available in the 8-pin TSSOP (PW) and 8-pin SOIC (DP) surface-mount power packages.
For other packaging options consult the factory.

pin descriptions
GND: Chip Ground. All voltages are measured with respect to this pin. This is the low-noise ground reference
for input regulation. The output decoupling capacitor should be tied between VOUT and GND.
OFFB: Shutdown, active low. This pin must be externally pulled to GND to turn off the IC. Pulling this pin high
turns on the IC. This pin is internally pulled to VIN by 100-nA current source.
VIN: Positive supply input for the regulator. Bypass this pin to GND with at least 0.1 µF of low ESR, ESL
capacitance if the source is located further than 1 inch from the device.
VOUT: Output of the regulator. The regulator does not require a minimum output capacitance for stability,
however a small capacitor is recommended to improve transient response. Choose the appropriate size
capacitor for the application with respect to the required transient loading. For example, if the load is very
dynamic, a large capacitor will smooth out the response to load steps.
VSENSE: Externally programmable voltage sense node. For the UCC388, connect resistor divider network
between VOUT, VSENSE and GND to provide custom regulation level. For the UCC386 and UCC387, connect
this pin to VOUT as close to the load as possible.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
load independent current consumption
This series of LDOs is based on CMOS circuitry and uses a high-side P-channel pass element. Consequently,
the current consumed by the LDO is extremely low at 10 µA under normal operating conditions and does not
vary with load. The shutdown mode (OFFB = GND) consumes only 2 µA, making this series an excellent choice
for battery applications.
reverse voltage standoff
These LDOs are designed to operate with the voltage at the output greater than the voltage at the input. This
can be an advantage where a circuit needs to be powered from two separate power sources that must be kept
isolated, such as selecting between one of two or more batteries.

SLUS377B - JULY 1999 - REVISED MAY 2000
APPLICATION INFORMATION
overcurrent protection
The UCC386/7/8 uses a fixed, absolute, current limit in conjunction with a timed overcurrent function that
significantly reduces power dissipation in the event of a shorted load (see Figure 1). In this diagram, a 100-mA
load is applied to the output of the LDO. At some point, a fault is applied. When the current level exceeds the
overcurrent threshold of about 300 mA, a timer is started. If the current does not fall below the overcurrent
threshold before the timer times out, about 5.6 ms, the LDO declares an overcurrent condition exists and turns
off its output for about 5.6 ms. Note that the output current is internally limited to 600 mA. After the output has
been off for 5.6 ms, it is turned on for about 800 µs and again limited to 600 mA. If the current does not fall below
the overcurrent threshold before the 800-µs timer expires, the output is again turned off for 5.6 ms. This process
repeats itself until the fault condition is removed from the output of the LDO. The average current supplied to
the faulted load by the LDO is approximately 112 mA. This is well below the maximum rated current of 200 mA
of the LDO. Therefore, for most applications that have adequate thermal dissipation for the LDO to operate at
full rated load, the thermal dissipation will also be adequate in a faulted condition.

thermal shutdown
The LDOs have a thermal shutdown circuit that will turn the LDO output off before the die temperature reaches
damaging levels. When the die cools, the LDO will again function. The thermal shutdown circuit has a turn-off
threshold of nominally 140°C, and a turn-on threshold of 115°C. These temperatures insure that the LDO will
not be damaged due to excessive power dissipation.
maximum load recovery
The LDO will start a load that has a large capacitance and a dc current component. One of the consequences
of the LDOs fault behavior is a maximum output capacitor value and load current that the LDO can restart after
an overcurrent condition has been declared. Figure 2 shows the maximum load that the LDO can re-start from
a faulted condition with a given output filter capacitor. Note that the LDO can start a much higher load than it
can restart after a fault. If the LDO is hiccuping into a load that it cannot re-start, either momentarily
disconnecting the load or a power cycle allows the LDO to start the load.

using OFFB
The OFFB pin is used to turn the output of the LDO on or off from some external source. There are two things
to note when using this pin. The first is that after taking OFFB high (on), the LDO will require up to about 2 ms
to start and stabilize. The second item is that OFFB is designed to be driven from an open-drain-type output.
Internally, this pin is pulled high by a weak 100-nA current source, and will normally be at the input supply
voltage, so the driving circuitry must be able to withstand the voltage applied to the input of the regulator. Also,
depending upon load, if the OFFB pin is driven (overriding the internal pull-up) high with a fast edge signal, there
may be a brief pulse on the output, followed by no output, with the regulator coming on and stabilizing about
2 ms after the OFFB pin was driven high. This output pulse is never more than the normal output voltage of the
regulator and is about 200 µs in length.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
output capacitance and transient response
The transient response of the regulator is heavily influenced by the capacitor on the output. In general, larger
capacitors produce less voltage variation during load changes, but take longer to stabilize (quit wiggling). Note
that no output capacitor is required for a stable output. However, if the load exhibits sharp changes in current
requirements, and temporary deviations from the nominal output voltage must be minimized, some output filter
capacitor will be needed.
