Product details
Overview
UCC383TDKTTT-5 from Texas Instruments is a fixed 5-V, 3-A positive linear series pass LDO regulator in TO-263-3 (DDPAK) package, featuring 0.45 V typical dropout at 3 A, <650 µA quiescent current irrespective of load, and integrated thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection with 3% duty-cycle pulsed fault limiting. It serves as a primary voltage rail regulator in industrial power supplies requiring stable low-noise 5-V output under high-current transient loads.
For engineers reviewing the UCC383TDKTTT-5 datasheet, UCC383TDKTTT-5 pinout, UCC383TDKTTT-5 application, or UCC383TDKTTT-5 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 3 A, thermal behavior over 0°C to 70°C, reverse leakage (<75 µA), UVLO threshold (2.5–3 V), and compatibility with standard TO-263-3 PCB footprints and thermal pads.
Technical Context
The UCC383TDKTTT-5 implements a BiCMOS N-channel MOSFET series pass element driven by an internal charge pump (VPUMP) to achieve low RDS(on), enabling 0.45 V dropout at 3 A. Its error amplifier references a 1.25-V internal bandgap and regulates output without requiring minimum output capacitance due to internal compensation.
Short-circuit protection operates via fixed 750 µs tON followed by tOFF = 32 × tON, enforcing 3% average duty cycle during sustained overload; thermal shutdown activates at 165°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis. The device is specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation and supports logic-level shutdown only in adjustable variants-not applicable to this fixed 5-V version.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1.5% at room temperature; ensures stable logic supply for microcontrollers and FPGAs without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.45 V typical at 3 A load; enables operation from 5.45 V input, minimizing wasted headroom in battery- or DC-DC-derived rails. |
| Quiescent Current | <650 µA across full load range; maintains efficiency in always-on subsystems without compromising regulation. |
| Short-Circuit Duty Cycle | 3% fixed average; limits average power dissipation during fault to ~1/33 of peak, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C ambient; suitable for commercial/industrial equipment enclosures without forced cooling. |
| Reverse Leakage | <75 µA when VIN < VOUT; prevents backfeed in multi-rail systems during power sequencing or standby. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.5–3.0 V; blocks regulation until input stabilizes above valid operating range, avoiding brownout instability. |
Pinout & Package
UCC383TDKTTT-5 uses the TO-263-3 (DDPAK) thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed metal pad for PCB heat sinking. Pin 1 = VOUT, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = VIN. The package complies with JEDEC MO-178, Level-2-260°C-1-year moisture sensitivity rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers fixed 5-V output; connects directly to load and local bypass capacitor; electrically tied to exposed thermal pad. |
| GND | Reference ground node | Common return for internal bias, error amplifier, and protection circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| VIN | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 5.45–9 V input; requires ≥1 µF low-ESL/ESR ceramic capacitor to GND close to pin for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-dropout architecture | 0.45 V dropout at full 3-A load enables use with minimal input headroom, reducing upstream converter overhead. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 165°C trip / 145°C recovery prevents latch-up during intermittent overloads and allows safe auto-recovery. |
| Fixed-frequency short-circuit pulsing | 750 µs on-time + 24 ms off-time yields consistent 3% duty cycle, enabling predictable fault-power budgeting. |
| No minimum output capacitance | Internally compensated design eliminates need for ≥10 µF output cap, simplifying layout and supporting ceramic-only solutions. |
| Reverse voltage sensing | Blocks conduction when VIN < VOUT, preventing backfeed in hot-swap or redundant supply configurations. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module Power | Embedded Controller Core Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A4700RGWR | Ultra-low-noise (4.7 µVRMS) 1-A LDO with 20-µA IQ; not rated for 3-A load or 0.45-V dropout at high current. | Suitable for noise-sensitive analog rails but cannot replace UCC383TDKTTT-5 in high-current digital power roles. | Select only if load ≤1 A and PSRR/noise dominate over current capacity and dropout. |
| MCP1703T-5002E/MB | 500-mA, 5-V fixed LDO in SOT-223; 600-mV dropout at 250 mA; no thermal or short-circuit pulsing protection. | Targeted at low-power MCU peripherals; lacks fault robustness and current capability for industrial 3-A loads. | Use only in space-constrained, low-current designs where cost and footprint outweigh fault tolerance needs. |
Compared with TPS7A4700RGWR and MCP1703T-5002E/MB, UCC383TDKTTT-5 uniquely delivers 3-A current, sub-0.5-V dropout, and active pulsed short-circuit protection in a thermally optimized TO-263 package-making it irreplaceable for high-reliability, high-current industrial LDO applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for UCC383TDKTTT-5?
UCC383TDKTTT-5 is rated for continuous 3-A output current under specified thermal conditions. Peak current limit is 4–10 A depending on test conditions, but sustained operation beyond 3 A triggers short-circuit pulsing. Derating is required above 70°C ambient or with inadequate PCB copper area for heatsinking.
Does UCC383TDKTTT-5 support logic-level shutdown functionality?
No, UCC383TDKTTT-5 does not support shutdown. Shutdown capability is exclusive to the 5-pin adjustable variants (e.g., UCC383TD-ADJ) via the CT pin. The UCC383TDKTTT-5 is a 3-pin fixed-output device with no dedicated enable or shutdown terminal.
What is the recommended input voltage range for UCC383TDKTTT-5?
UCC383TDKTTT-5 operates with input voltages from (VOUT + VDROPOUT) up to 9 V. For reliable 3-A operation, minimum input is 5.45 V (5 V + 0.45 V dropout); absolute maximum is 9 V. Exceeding 9 V risks permanent damage per absolute maximum ratings.
Can UCC383TDKTTT-5 be used with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, UCC383TDKTTT-5 is internally compensated and requires no minimum output capacitance. Ceramic capacitors (e.g., 10–47 µF, X7R, low-ESR) are fully compatible and recommended for optimal transient response and board space savings.
What thermal considerations apply to UCC383TDKTTT-5 in TO-263-3 package?
UCC383TDKTTT-5 has θJC = 3°C/W. To maintain TJ ≤ 150°C at 3 A with 0.45 V dropout (1.35 W dissipation), θCA must be ≤ 71°C/W. A 5-in² 1-oz copper pad achieves ~60°C/W; larger copper or external heatsink is needed for higher ambient or derated operation.
