Product details
Overview
UCC3911DPTR-3 from Texas Instruments is a two-cell lithium-ion/lithium-polymer battery pack protector IC with integrated series FET switch, 4.25–4.35 V overvoltage threshold, 2.42–2.58 V undervoltage threshold, 3-A continuous current capacity, and 20 µA quiescent current - used in portable electronics to prevent cell damage during charge/discharge cycles.
For engineers reviewing the UCC3911DPTR-3 datasheet, UCC3911DPTR-3 pinout, UCC3911DPTR-3 application, or UCC3911DPTR-3 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional role, terminal-level design meaning, real-world protection timing behavior, and validated alternative options for battery management system design.
Technical Context
The UCC3911DPTR-3 implements dual-threshold voltage monitoring (OV/UV) with hysteresis-based state machine control of an internal power FET, enabling bidirectional current flow in normal operation but enforcing unidirectional conduction during overvoltage (discharge-only) or undervoltage (charge-only) states. Its feedback loop powers down the op-amp outside protection states to minimize battery drain.
Short-circuit protection uses a user-configurable delay via CDLY pin capacitor (nominal 100 µs, extendable), while thermal shutdown activates at 165°C. The CE pin enables assembly-mode disable with 4 µA sleep current, and LPWARN provides early low-power warning at 3.0 V per cell.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage Threshold | 4.25–4.35 V per cell - sets trip point for halting charge when either cell exceeds safe voltage limit |
| Undervoltage Threshold | 2.42–2.58 V per cell - triggers discharge cutoff to prevent deep discharge damage |
| Continuous Current Rating | 3 A - supports typical PDA/camcorder load profiles without external FETs |
| Quiescent Current | 20 µA - enables multi-year shelf life in battery packs before first use |
| Short-Circuit Delay | 100 µs nominal - allows brief inrush currents while blocking sustained faults |
| Operating Temperature | –20°C to 70°C - matches standard Li-ion battery environmental envelope |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C - protects device and cells under sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
UCC3911DPTR-3 is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (D) package with exposed substrate pads (SUBS pins 4, 5, 12, 13) for thermal management. The package supports surface-mount assembly and requires electrically isolated heatsinking on SUBS pins for high-current operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| B0 (10,11) | Negative terminal reference | Connects to bottom cell's negative electrode; serves as common reference for all voltage sensing and FET source |
| B1 (14) | Middle node sense | Monitors junction between two series cells to detect individual cell overvoltage/undervoltage |
| B2 (16) | Positive terminal reference | Connects to top cell's positive electrode and user-facing pack output (+) |
| GND (6,7) | User output terminal | Provides second user-facing pack terminal (–); FET connects GND to B0 to enable/disconnect load/charger |
| CDLY (15) | SCP timing control | Accepts external capacitor to extend short-circuit trip delay beyond 100 µs for capacitive load compatibility |
| CE (9) | Assembly enable/disable | Pulling low disables FET and reduces supply current to ~4 µA for safe battery pack manufacturing |
| LPWARN (8) | Low-power alert | Active-high signal asserted when any cell drops below 3.0 V - enables host-system battery status indication |
| OV (2) | Overvoltage status | Active-low flag indicating one or both cells exceed VOV - inhibits further charging |
| UV (3) | Undervoltage status | Active-low flag indicating one or both cells fall below VUV - inhibits further discharging |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated series FET switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFETs and associated gate drive circuitry, reducing BOM count and PCB area |
| Hysteresis-based OV/UV recovery | Prevents oscillation during marginal cell voltage conditions by requiring decay to VOVR (3.70–3.90 V) before resuming normal operation |
| Bi-directional current control logic | Enables full conduction in normal mode, then enforces charge-only or discharge-only paths during protection events |
| Sleep mode activation | Reduces current to ~3 µA when UV is asserted, minimizing self-discharge during long-term storage |
| Electrically isolated substrate pads | Four SUBS pins allow thermal coupling to heatsink without electrical connection to ground or other signals |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ29700DRVR | Single-cell focus; lower OV threshold (4.25 V typ); no CDLY programmability; 1.5 µA IQ | Not suitable for two-cell stacks; lacks middle-node (B1) sensing required for per-cell monitoring | Select only for single-cell Li-ion designs where UCC3911DPTR-3's dual-cell architecture is unnecessary |
| MP2617GJ-Z | Integrated charger + protector; 4.35 V OV; supports 2-cell but requires external FETs; 30 µA IQ | Combines charging and protection functions - increases complexity if only protection is needed | Choose when system-level integration of charge control and protection justifies added cost and layout overhead |
Compared with BQ29700DRVR and MP2617GJ-Z, the UCC3911DPTR-3 uniquely delivers true two-cell per-cell voltage monitoring with integrated FET, zero external power components, and configurable short-circuit response - making it optimal for compact, cost-sensitive dual-cell battery packs where standalone protection is required.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage threshold range for UCC3911DPTR-3?
The UCC3911DPTR-3 has a guaranteed overvoltage threshold range of 4.25 V (min) to 4.35 V (max) per cell at 25°C, with typical value 4.30 V. This range is factory-trimmed and specified in the SLUS429B datasheet Table 1 under "UCC3911DP–3" row. It ensures safe charging termination before lithium-plating occurs on anode surfaces.
Does UCC3911DPTR-3 require external FETs for operation?
No, UCC3911DPTR-3 integrates a series power FET switch on-die, eliminating the need for external MOSFETs, gate drivers, or current-sense resistors. This integration reduces bill-of-materials cost and PCB footprint while improving reliability - confirmed in the device description and "No External FETs Required" feature bullet of the SLUS429B datasheet.
How does the CE pin function in UCC3911DPTR-3 during battery pack assembly?
The CE pin on UCC3911DPTR-3 disables the internal FET when held low (connected to B0), reducing supply current to ~4 µA. This allows safe electrical assembly of the battery pack; the final step is cutting the CE-to-B0 trace to activate the device. This behavior is documented in the "CE" terminal description and Application Information section of SLUS429B.
What is the purpose of the CDLY pin on UCC3911DPTR-3?
The CDLY pin on UCC3911DPTR-3 sets the delay time for short-circuit protection activation. With no capacitor, delay is 100 µs; adding capacitance between CDLY and B0 extends delay to accommodate high-peak loads like camera flash. The delay equation tDLY = 25 × (25 + CDLY[pF]) × 0.4 × VB2 is provided in SLUS429B Section 5.
Can UCC3911DPTR-3 monitor individual cell voltages in a two-cell stack?
Yes, UCC3911DPTR-3 monitors individual cell voltages using three dedicated sense inputs: B0 (bottom cell negative), B1 (midpoint between cells), and B2 (top cell positive). This enables independent overvoltage and undervoltage detection per cell - a core capability described in the Functional Block Diagram and Terminal Functions table of SLUS429B.
