description
The UCC3918 low on-resistance hot swap power manager provides complete power management, hot swap
capability, and circuit breaker functions. The only components needed to operate the device, other than supply
bypassing, are a timing capacitor, and two programming resistors. All control and housekeeping functions are
integrated, and externally programmable. These include the fault current level, maximum output sourcing
current, maximum fault time, and startup delay. In the event of a constant fault, the internal fixed 3% duty cycle
ratio limits the average output power. The IFAULT pin allows linear programming of the fault level current from
0 A to 4 A.
Fast overload protection is accomplished by an additional overload comparator. Its threshold is internally set
above the maximum sourcing current limit setting. In the event of a short circuit or extreme current condition,
this comparator is tripped, shutting down the output. This function is needed since the maximum sourcing
current limit loop has a finite bandwidth.
When the output current is below the fault level, the output MOSFET is switched on with a nominal resistance
of 0.075 Ω. When the output current exceeds the fault level or the maximum sourcing level, the output remains
on, but the fault timer starts charging a capacitor connected to the CT pin (CT). Once CT charges to a preset
threshold, the switch is turned off, and remains off for 30 times the programmed fault time. When the output
current reaches the maximum sourcing level, the MOSFET transitions from a switch to a constant current
source.
The UCC3918 is designed for unidirectional current flow, emulating an ideal diode in series with the power
switch. This feature is particularly attractive in applications where many devices are powering a common bus,
such as with SCSI termintation power (Termpwr). The UCC3918 can also be put into the sleep mode, drawing
only 1 µA of supply current.
Other features include an open-drain fault output indicator, thermal shutdown, undervoltage lockout, 3 V to 6 V
operation, and a low thermal resistance small-outline power package.

CT: A capacitor connected to this pin sets the maximum fault time. The maximum time must be greater than
the time to charge external load capacitance. The nominal fault time is defined as:

This equates to a 3% duty cycle. The recommended minimum value for the CT capacitor is 0.1 µF.
FAULT: Open-drain output, which pulls low on any condition that causes the output to open; Fault, Thermal
Shutdown, Shutdown, and maximum sourcing current greater than the fault time.
GND: This is the most negative voltage in the circuit. All 4 ground pins should be used, and properly heat sunk
on the PCB.
IFAULT: A resistor connected from this pin to ground sets the fault threshold. The resistor versus fault current
is set by the formula

SHTDWN: When this pin is brought low, the IC is put into sleep mode. The input threshold is hysteretic, allowing
the user to program a startup delay with an external RC circuit.
VIN: This is the input voltage to the UCC3918. The recommended operating voltage range is 3V to 6V. All VIN

Figure 1. Typical Application
protecting the UCC3918 from voltage transients
The parasitic inductance associated with the power distribution can cause a voltage spike at VIN if the load
current is suddenly interrupted by the UCC3918. It is important to limit the peak of this spike to less than 6 V
to prevent damage to the UCC3918. This voltage spike can be minimized by:
•
•
•
Reducing the power distribution inductance (e.g., twist the positive “+” and negative “–” leads of the
power supply feeding VIN, locate the power supply close to the UCC3918 or use a PCB ground plane).
Decoupling VIN with a capacitor, CIN (refer to Figure 1), located close to the VIN pin. This capacitor is
typically less than 1 µF to limit the inrush current.
Clamping the voltage at VIN below 6 V with a Zener diode, D1 (refer to Figure 1), located close to the VIN
pin.
estimating maximum load capacitance
For circuit breaker applications, the rate at which the total output capacitance can be charged depends on the
maximum output current available and the nature of the load. For a constant-current current-limited circuit
breaker, the output comes up if the load requires less than the maximum available short-circuit current.
To ensure recovery of a duty-cycle of the current-limited circuit breaker from a short-circuited load condition,
there is a maximum total output capacitance that can be charged for a given unit ON time (fault time). The design
value of ON or fault time can be adjusted by changing the timing capacitor CT.

safety considerations
Although the UCC3918 is designed to provide system protection for all fault conditions, all integrated circuits
can ultimately fail short. For this reason, if the UCC3918 is intended for use in safety critical applications where
UL or some other safety rating is required, a redundant safety device such as a fuse should be placed in series
with the power device. The UCC3918 prevents the fuse from blowing for virtually all fault conditions, increasing
system reliability and reducing maintenance cost, in addition to providing the hot swap benefits of the device.
