Product details
Overview
UCC3882DWTR-1 from Texas Instruments is a 28-pin SOIC wide-body average current mode synchronous buck controller with integrated 5-bit DAC, designed for high-end microprocessor VRM applications. It delivers 1.3 V–3.5 V output in 50/100 mV steps, supports 12 V input, features 1% DAC/reference accuracy, foldback current limiting, and programmable oscillator up to 700 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the UCC3882DWTR-1 datasheet, UCC3882DWTR-1 pinout, UCC3882DWTR-1 application, or UCC3882DWTR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VID-code compatibility with Intel Pentium® II VRM 8.1, synchronous gate drive timing control via RT/CT, dual overvoltage/undervoltage fault windows (±9% and +17.5%), and integrated current sense amplifier with 16× gain.
Technical Context
The UCC3882DWTR-1 implements average current mode control using a dedicated current amplifier (CAM/CAO) and voltage error amplifier (VFB/COMP), with the COMMAND pin serving as both DAC output and voltage reference for both loops. Its dual comparator architecture monitors VSNS against COMMAND with two independent thresholds: ±9% for PWRGD assertion and +17.5% for forced GATEHI shutdown/GATELO activation.
Oscillator frequency is set externally via RT and CT pins, enabling precise tuning from 100 kHz to 700 kHz; dead-time between GATEHI and GATELO is also RT-programmable to prevent cross-conduction. The -1 suffix denotes full DAC-code enablement - unlike the base UCC3882, all D0–D4 codes activate gate drives and regulate at the corresponding COMMAND voltage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the function of the RT and CT pins on the UCC3882DWTR-1?
The RT and CT pins program the internal oscillator frequency and synchronous gate driver dead time on the UCC3882DWTR-1. RT (resistor) and CT (capacitor) together set the switching frequency from 100 kHz to 700 kHz per TI's published curves; RT alone adjusts the delay between GATEHI turn-off and GATELO turn-on to prevent cross-conduction. For UCC3882DWTR-1, RT values between 10 kΩ and 15 kΩ are recommended for optimal efficiency.
How does the UCC3882DWTR-1 differ from the standard UCC3882DWTR?
The UCC3882DWTR-1 differs from UCC3882DWTR in its DAC-code enable behavior: the -1 variant enables GATEHI and GATELO for all 32 VID codes (1.3 V–3.5 V), whereas the base UCC3882DWTR disables outputs for codes 1.3 V–1.75 V and when all D0–D4 pins are high. This makes UCC3882DWTR-1 suitable for full-range programmability without unintended shutdowns.
What is the purpose of the foldback current limit in the UCC3882DWTR-1?
The foldback current limit in the UCC3882DWTR-1 reduces the short-circuit current limit to approximately 50% of its nominal value (e.g., 17 A → 8.5 A) when the output voltage falls below 50% of the COMMAND voltage. This protects external MOSFETs and capacitors from excessive stress and thermal damage during sustained output faults, improving system reliability without requiring external circuitry.
Can the UCC3882DWTR-1 operate from a 5 V input supply?
No - the UCC3882DWTR-1 requires a minimum VIN of 10.5 V to exit undervoltage lockout; its specified operating range is 10.8 V to 15 V. However, it can regulate a 5 V input down to 1.3 V–3.5 V output: VDRVHI should be supplied from 12 V (not VIN), and VDRVLO may be 5 V or 12 V depending on the synchronous MOSFET gate threshold. The IC itself must be powered from ≥10.8 V.
What is the role of the VSNS pin in the UCC3882DWTR-1?
The VSNS pin on the UCC3882DWTR-1 monitors the regulated output voltage through an RC filter and serves three critical functions: (1) triggers PWRGD assertion when deviation exceeds ±9% of COMMAND, (2) initiates hard shutdown (+17.5% trip) by disabling GATEHI and enabling GATELO, and (3) enables foldback current limiting when VOUT drops below 50% of COMMAND. Proper filtering and layout are essential to avoid noise-induced false trips.
