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. 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. 6 www.ti.com SLUS495C − SEPTEMBER 2001 − REVISED JULY 2003 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 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. 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. www.ti.com 7 SLUS495C − SEPTEMBER 2001 − REVISED JULY 2003 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. CS+ 2 + ENABLE + 0.5 V CS− 1 UDG−02087 Figure 1. Enable Comparator fault protection 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 continuously monitored by a window comparator as shown in Figure 2. VDD − 0.7 V + LS 7 FAULT + R CSO 8 2R UDG−02088 Figure 2. Fault Protection Comparators The FAULT signal is handled by the start up and adjust logic which pulls the non-inverting input of the adjust amplifier low when the FAULT signal is asserted. 8 www.ti.com SLUS495C − SEPTEMBER 2001 − REVISED JULY 2003 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. 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 engage in sharing the load current since its output will be adjusted to a sufficiently high voltage. 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 bus voltage. 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. VBIAS (Internal Bias) VDD 3 14.2 V GND 4 4.375 V + Bias_OK UDG−02089 Figure 3. VDD Clamp and Bias Monitor 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. www.ti.com 9 SLUS495C − SEPTEMBER 2001 − REVISED JULY 2003 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 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.

Power Module Bode Plot 12 www.ti.com 1000 SLUS495C − SEPTEMBER 2001 − REVISED JULY 2003 DESIGN PROCEDURE the sense resistor Selection of the sense 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 SENSE 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 ǒRSENSE 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). 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 ƪDVADJ(max) * ǒIOUT(max) Ǔƫ R SENSE ƪVOUT * DVADJ(max) ) ǒIOUT(max) 500 W Ǔ ƫ R SENSE * 1 V www.ti.com (6) 13 SLUS495C − SEPTEMBER 2001 − REVISED JULY 2003 DESIGN PROCEDURE 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) * ǒIOUT(max) Ǔƫ R SENSE I ADJ(max) (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.
