Product details
Overview
UCC39412PWTR from Texas Instruments is a low-power synchronous boost converter IC optimized for single/dual alkaline battery operation, delivering 3.3 V at up to 200 mW output power with 1 V minimum start-up voltage, 0.5 Ω charge switch RDS(on), and integrated adaptive current mode control. It serves as the primary power management IC in ultra-low-voltage portable systems such as pagers and handheld medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the UCC39412PWTR datasheet, UCC39412PWTR pinout, UCC39412PWTR application, or UCC39412PWTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 1 V start-up under full load, programmable reset timing via CT pin, dual-output capability (3.3 V main + 7 V gate-drive), and TSSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The UCC39412PWTR implements a multiplexed, priority-based dual-output architecture where the 3.3 V main output takes precedence over the 7 V VGD supply unless VGD falls below 6.3 V. Its bang-bang control transitions between discontinuous and continuous conduction modes based on load demand, enabling high efficiency across 0.5–60 mA output current range.
It integrates synchronous rectification with 1.2 Ω RDS(on) rectifier, anti-cross-conduction logic, and adaptive current limit (385–715 mA peak) tied to inductor value (22 µH typical). The SD/FB pin functions solely as shutdown input - not feedback - simplifying interface with CMOS/TTL logic.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC29412PWTR | Same functionality but rated for –40°C to 85°C operating range vs. UCC39412PWTR's 0°C to 70°C | Required for extended-temperature industrial or automotive cabin applications | Select UCC29412PWTR if ambient temperature exceeds 70°C or requires industrial-grade qualification |
| TPS61200DRVR | Higher 3.3 V output current (up to 150 mA vs. 60 mA), lower 0.35 V start-up, but no auxiliary VGD output | Preferred for higher-current 3.3 V-only systems without gate-drive needs | Choose TPS61200DRVR when main output load exceeds 60 mA and auxiliary 7 V supply is unnecessary |
Compared with UCC29412PWTR and TPS61200DRVR, the UCC39412PWTR uniquely balances ultra-low-voltage start-up, integrated dual-output capability, and minimal quiescent current - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, single-cell alkaline applications where both 3.3 V logic and 7 V analog bias are required.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum input voltage for UCC39412PWTR startup under full load?
The UCC39412PWTR guarantees startup at ≤1 V input voltage under full 60 mA load. Once operational, it continues functioning down to 0.5 V input. This ensures reliable power-up from deeply discharged alkaline cells, critical for long-life battery applications like pagers and remote sensors. The UCC39412PWTR achieves this via optimized low-voltage bias circuitry and adaptive current control.
Does UCC39412PWTR support adjustable output voltage via feedback resistors?
No, the UCC39412PWTR provides a fixed 3.3 V output and does not support external feedback adjustment. Its SD/FB pin serves only as an active-low shutdown input - unlike the UCC39411 variant, which uses SD/FB for voltage setting. For adjustable output, select UCC39411PWTR instead. The UCC39412PWTR's fixed regulation simplifies design and improves stability in dedicated 3.3 V applications.
How is the reset timeout period programmed on UCC39412PWTR?
The reset timeout period on UCC39412PWTR is set by an external capacitor connected from the CT pin to ground, using the formula tRP = C × 1.25 seconds (C in µF). For example, a 0.15 µF capacitor yields a nominal 188 ms reset hold-off. This allows precise alignment with microcontroller clock stabilization requirements. The UCC39412PWTR's RESB pin asserts low until this period expires after VOUT rises above 2.97 V.
What is the purpose of the VGD pin on UCC39412PWTR, and what load can it support?
The VGD pin on UCC39412PWTR provides a coarsely regulated ~7 V supply primarily for internal gate drive, but it can also power external circuitry up to 10 mA - provided the load does not draw below 2 V during startup. Its regulation range is 6.3–7.7 V. The UCC39412PWTR prioritizes VOUT over VGD unless VGD falls below 6.3 V, ensuring system logic remains powered first.
Can UCC39412PWTR operate with input voltages below 1 V after initial startup?
Yes, the UCC39412PWTR maintains operation down to 0.5 V input voltage once started - though startup itself requires ≤1 V under full load. This extended operating range maximizes usable battery capacity from alkaline cells, especially under light-load conditions where quiescent current (15–28 µA) dominates. The UCC39412PWTR's adaptive current control and low-RDS(on) switches enable stable regulation even near end-of-life battery voltage.
