Product details
Overview
UCC39002 from Texas Instruments is an advanced 8-pin BiCMOS load-share controller for paralleling DC-DC modules and power supplies in N+1 redundant systems. It delivers <1% current-share error at full load, supports high-side or low-side current sensing via ultra-low-offset amplifier (±100 µV), and complies with Intel® SSI load-share specification. Used in telecom and server power systems to balance output current across multiple supplies.
For engineers reviewing the UCC39002 datasheet, UCC39002 pinout, UCC39002 application, or UCC39002 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0–13.5 V VDD operating range, ±0.6 µA CS+ / CS− input bias current, LS bus protection against shorts to GND or supply rail, and start-up behavior where adjust current is forced to maximum until VCSO exceeds 80% of VLS.
Technical Context
The UCC39002 implements automatic leader/follower architecture using a transconductance error amplifier (gM = 14 mS) and a unity-gain load-share bus driver with ideal-diode behavior. Its differential current-sense amplifier has 75–90 dB gain and 75–90 dB CMRR, enabling precise shunt-based current monitoring across 0 V to VDD common-mode range.
It features dual protection mechanisms: LS bus fault detection via window comparator (triggers on VLS < 2/3×VCSO or VLS > VVDD − 0.7 V), and enable/disable control via CS+/CS− pins with −0.5 V internal offset. Start-up forces ADJ to sink max current until VCSO > 0.8 × VLS, ensuring rapid current engagement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Operating Range | 4.575 V to 13.5 V - defines minimum bias for reliable UVLO hysteresis and maximum rail before clamp activation |
| Current-Share Accuracy | <1% error at full load - enables tight current matching across ≥2 parallel modules without external calibration |
| CS Amplifier Offset | ±100 µV (25°C), ±10 µV/°C drift - allows use of sub-1 mΩ shunts while maintaining accuracy over temperature |
| LS Bus Output Drive | ±1.5 mA output current - limits max parallel module count to ~10 when VLS = 10 V and RIN = 100 kΩ |
| Error Amplifier gM | 14 mS - sets loop gain for stable compensation with single-pole RC network on EAO pin |
| ADJ Sink Current | 3.45–4.55 mA (−40°C to +105°C) - determines voltage adjustment resolution via RADJ/RSENSE ratio |
| UVLO Threshold | 4.175–4.575 V (rising), 3.625–4.025 V (falling) - ensures operation only within stable bias margin for accurate bus signaling |
Pinout & Package
UCC39002 is available in 8-pin VSSOP (3.00 mm × 4.90 mm) and SOIC (4.90 mm × 6.00 mm) packages. Pin functions are identical across packages per TI SLUS495J Rev. December 2023.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS− (1) | Inverting input of current-sense amplifier | Used with CS+ to measure shunt voltage; also part of ENABLE comparator with −0.5 V internal offset |
| CS+ (2) | Noninverting input of current-sense amplifier | Accepts 0 V to VDD common-mode signals; placement in GND or VOUT path enabled by rail-to-rail input range |
| VDD (3) | Power supply input | Biased at 4.575–13.5 V; requires 0.1–1 µF low-ESL capacitor near pin for clamp stability and noise immunity |
| GND (4) | Reference ground | Common return for all analog and power functions; must connect to S− sense path of controlled converter |
| ADJ (5) | Adjust amplifier output | Sinks current proportional to VEAO to raise module output voltage; clamped to ≥VEAO + 1 V |
| EAO (6) | Error amplifier output | Transconductance output (14 mS) driving external RC compensation; clamped to 3.5–3.8 V high-level |
| LS (7) | Load-share bus I/O | Drives or receives bus voltage; disconnects during fault/start-up; protected against shorts to GND or VDD |
| CSO (8) | Current-sense amplifier output | Amplified shunt signal (75–90 dB gain); drives LS bus and feeds error amplifier; 0–11.8 V output swing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-wire load-share bus | Reduces inter-module wiring to one trace; eliminates need for master clock or daisy-chained timing signals |
| Intel® SSI compliance | Ensures interoperability with OEM power supplies requiring standardized load-sharing interface and timing |
| Full-scale adjustability | Allows system-level tuning of current-share gain via external resistor on CSO, enabling optimization for shunt value and bus voltage |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for UCC39002?
The UCC39002 is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature. This range is narrower than the UCC29002 (−40°C to +105°C) and reflects its target use in commercial telecom and server applications where chassis airflow maintains moderate thermal conditions. Junction temperature must remain ≤150°C per absolute maximum ratings, and thermal design should account for RθJA = 168.0°C/W in VSSOP package.
How does UCC39002 handle load-share bus faults?
The UCC39002 continuously monitors the LS bus voltage using an internal window comparator. A fault is asserted if VLS < (2/3 × VCSO) or VLS > (VVDD − 0.7 V), indicating short to GND or supply rail. Upon fault detection, the UCC39002 disables the LS bus driver, forces ADJ sink current to zero, and isolates itself from the bus-preventing erroneous voltage adjustment in the controlled power supply.
Can UCC39002 be used with high-side current sensing?
Yes, UCC39002 supports high-side current sensing: its current-sense amplifier accepts common-mode inputs from 0 V to VDD, allowing the shunt resistor to be placed in the positive output rail. However, when disabling the device in high-side configuration, pull CS+ at least 0.5 V below CS− instead of forcing CS− > CS+ by 0.5 V, to avoid exceeding the CS− absolute maximum rating of VVDD + 0.3 V.
What is the purpose of the ADJ pin on UCC39002?
The ADJ pin on UCC39002 sinks a current (IADJ) proportional to the error voltage (VEAO) developed by the transconductance error amplifier. This current flows through the parallel combination of the power supply's remote-sense resistor and external adjust resistor (RADJ), effectively raising the module's output voltage to match the leader's current level. At startup, UCC39002 forces maximum IADJ to rapidly engage load sharing.
Is UCC39002 pin-compatible with UCC29002?
Yes, UCC39002 is fully pin-compatible and functionally identical to UCC29002 in all respects except operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C vs. −40°C to +105°C) and orderable part numbering. Both share identical pinout, electrical characteristics, functional block diagram, and application circuitry-enabling drop-in replacement where ambient temperature constraints permit.
