SLUS360C  – JULY  1995  – REVISED  AUGUST  2007
The  UC3849  family  of  average  current-mode 
controllers  accurately  accomplishes  secondary  side 
average  current  mode  control.  The  secondary-side 
output  voltage  is  regulated  by  sensing  the  output 
voltage  and  differentially  sensing  the  ac  switching 
current.  The  sensed  output  voltage  drives  a  voltage 
error  amplifier.  The  ac  switching  current,  monitored 
by  a  current  sense  resistor,  drives  a  high  bandwidth, 
low  offset  current  sense  amplifier.  The  outputs  of  the 
voltage  error  amplifier  and  current  sense  amplifier 
differentially  drive  a  high  bandwidth,  integrating 
current  error  amplifier.  The  sawtooth  waveform  at  the 
current  error  amplifier  output  is  the  amplified  and 
inverted  inductor  current  sensed  through  the  resistor. 
This  inductor  current  down-slope  compared  to  the 
PWM  ramp  achieves  slope  compensation,  which 
gives  an  accurate  and  inherent  fast  transient 
response  to  changes  in  load.

DESCRIPTION  (cont.) 
The  UC3849  features  load  share,  oscillator  synchronization,  undervoltage  lockout,  and  programmable  output 
control.  Multiple  chip  operation  can  be  achieved  by  connecting  up  to  ten  UC3849  chips  in  parallel.  The  SHARE 
bus  and  CLKSYN  bus  provide  load  sharing  and  synchronization  to  the  fastest  oscillator  respectively.  The 
UC3849  is  an  ideal  controller  to  achieve  high  power,  secondary  side  average  current  mode  control.

Pin  Descriptions 
ADJ:  The  output  of  the  transconductance  (gm  =  –1  ms)  amplifier  adjusts  the  control  voltage  to  maintain  equal 
current  sharing.  The  chip  sensing  the  highest  output  current  will  have  its  output  clamped  to  1  V.  A  resistor 
divider  between  VREF  and  ADJ  drives  the  control  voltage  (VA+)  for  the  voltage  amplifier.  Each  slave  unit's  ADJ 
voltage  increases  (to  a  maximum  of  6  V)  its  control  voltage  (VA+)  until  its  load  current  is  equal  to  the  master. 
The  60-mV  input  offset  on  the  gm  amplifier  specifies  that  the  unit  sensing  the  highest  load  current  is  chosen  as 
the  master.  The  60-mV  offset  ensures  by  design  to  be  greater  than  the  inherent  offset  of  the  gm  amplifier  and 
the  buffer  amplifier.  While  the  60-mV  offset  represents  an  error  in  current  sharing,  the  gain  of  the  current  and  2X 
amplifiers  reduces  it  to  only  30  mV.  This  pin  needs  a  1-  μ   F  capacitor  to  compensate  the  amplifier.to  the  master.
CA–:   The  inverting   input   to   the   current   error   amplifier.   This   amplifier   needs   a   capacitor   between   CA–   and   CAO  
to  set  its  dominant  pole.
CAO:   The  output   of   the   current   error   amplifier   which   is   internally   clamped   to   4   V.   It   is   internally   connected   to   the  
inverting  input  of  the  PWM  comparator.
CS–,   CS+:   The  inverting   and   non-inverting   inputs   to   the   current   sense   amplifier.   This   amplifier   is   not   internally  
compensated  so  the  user  must  compensate  externally  to  attain  the  highest  GBW  for  the  application.
CLKSYN:   The  clock   and   synchronization   pin   for   the   oscillator.   This   is   a   bidirectional   pin   that   can   be   used   to  
synchronize  several  chips  to  the  fastest  oscillator.  Its  input  synchronization  threshold  is  1.4  V.  The  CLKSYN 
voltage  is  3.6  V  when  the  oscillator  capacitor  (CT)  is  being  discharged,  otherwise  it  is  0  V.  If  the  recommended 
synchronization  circuit  is  not  used,  a  1  k Ω   or  lower  value  resistor  from  CLKSYN  to  GND  may  be  needed  to 
increase  fall  time  on  CLKSYN  pin.
CSO:  The  output  of  the  current  sense  amplifier  which  is  internally  clamped  to  4  V.  
ENBL:  The  active  low  input  with  a  2.5-V  threshold  enables  the  output  to  switch.  SEQ  and  RUN  are  driven  low 
when  ENBL  is  above  its  2.5-V  threshold. 
GND:   The  signal   ground   used   for   the   voltage   sense   amplifier,   current   sense   amplifier,   current   error   amplifier, 
voltage  reference,  2X  amplifier,  and  share  amplifier.  The  output  sink  transistor  is  wired  directly  to  this  pin. 
KILL:   The  active   low   input   with   a   3.0-V   threshold   stops   the   output   from   switching.   Once   this   function   is   activated 
RUN  must  be  cycled  low  by  driving  KILL  above  3.0  V  and  either  resetting  the  power  to  the  chip  (VCC)  or 
resetting  the  ENBL  signal.
ILIM:   A  voltage   on   this   pin   programs   the   voltage   error   amplifier’s   Voh   clamp.   The   voltage   error   amplifier   output  
represents  the  average  output  current.  The  Voh  clamp  consequently  limits  the  output  current.  If  ILIM  is  tied  to 
VREF,  it  defaults  to  3.0  V.  A  voltage  less  than  3.0  V  connected  to  ILIM  clamps  the  voltage  error  amplifier  at  this 
voltage  and  consequently  limits  the  maximum  output  current.
OSC:   The  oscillator   ramp   pin   which   has   a   capacitor   (CT)   to   ground   and   a   resistor   (RDEAD)   to   the   RDEAD   pin  
programs  its  maximum  duty  cycle  by  programming  a  minimum  dead  time.  The  ramp  oscillates  between  1.2  V  to
3.4  V  when  an  RDEAD  resistor  is  used.  The  maximum  duty  cycle  can  be  increased  by  connecting  RDEAD  to 
OSC  which  changes  the  oscillator  ramp  to  vary  between  0.2  V  and  3.5  V.  In  order  to  ensure  zero  duty  cycle  in 
this  configuration  VEE  should  not  be  connected  to  GND.
The  charge  time  is  approximately  T

RUN:   This  is   an   open   collector   logic   output   that   signifies   when   the   chip   is   operational.   RUN   is   pulled   high   to  
VREF  through  an  external  resistor  when  VCC  is  greater  than  8.4  V,  VREF  is  greater  than  4.65  V,  SEQ  is  greater 
than  2.5  V,  and  KILL  lower  than  3.0  V.  RUN  connected  to  the  VA+  pin  and  to  a  capacitor  to  ground  adds  an  RC 
rise  time  on  the  VA+  pin  initiating  a  soft  start.
SEQ:   The  sequence   pin   allows   the   sequencing   of   startup   for   multiple   units.   A   resistor   between   VREF   and   SEQ  
and  a  capacitor  between  SEQ  and  GND  creates  a  unique  RC  rise  time  for  each  unit  which  sequences  the  output 
startup.
SHARE:  The  nearly  dc  voltage  representing  the  average  output  current.  This  pin  is  wired  directly  to  all  SHARE 
pins  and  is  the  load  share  bus.
VA+,  VA–:  The  inverting  and  non-inverting  inputs  to  the  voltage  error  amplifier.  
VAO:  The  output  of  the  voltage  error  amplifier.  Its  Voh  is  clamped  with  the  ILIM  pin.  
VCC:  The  input  voltage  of  the  chip.  The  chip  is  operational  between  8.4  V  and  20  V.  
VEE:  The  negative  supply  to  the  chip  which  powers  the  lower  voltage  rail  for  all  amplifiers.  The  chip  is 
operational  if  VEE  is  connected  to  GND  or  if  GND  is  floating.  When  voltage  is  applied  externally  to  VEE,  GND 
becomes  a  virtual  ground  because  of  an  internal  diode  between  VEE  and  GND.  The  GND  current  flows  through 
the  forward  biased  diode  and  out  VEE.  GND  is  always  the  signal  ground  from  which  the  voltage  reference  and 
all  amplifier  inputs  are  referenced.
VREF:   The  reference   voltage   equal   to   5.0   V.

discharges  CT. This  discharge  time  with  the  RC  time  delay  of  2  •   C
•   RDEAD  is   the   minimum   output   low   time.

OSC  continues  to  discharge  until  it  reaches  a  1.2  -V  threshold  and  resets  the  RS  flip-flop  which  repeats  the 
charging  sequence  as  shown  in  Figure  2   . Equations  to  approximate  frequency  and  maximum  duty  cycle  are 
listed  under  the  OSC  pin  description.  Figure  3   and  Figure  4   graphs  show  measured  variation  of  frequency  and 
maximum  duty  cycle  with  varying  RT,  CT,  and  RDEAD  component  values.
As  shown  in  Figure  5   , several  oscillators  are  synchronized  to  the  highest  free  running  frequency  by  connecting 
100-pF  capacitors  in  series  with  each  CLKSYN  pin  and  connecting  the  other  side  of  the  capacitors  together 
forming  the  CLKSYN  bus.  The  CLKSYN  bus  is  then  pulled  down  to  ground  with  a  resistance  of  approximately  10 
k Ω   . Referring  to  Figure  1   , the  synchronization  threshold  is  1.4  V.  The  oscillator  blanks  any  synchronization  pulse 
that  occurs  when  OSC  is  below  2.5  V.  This  allows  units,  once  they  discharge  below  2.5  V,  to  continue  through 
the  current  discharge  and  subsequent  charge  cycles  whether  or  not  other  units  on  the  CLKSYN  bus  are  still 
synchronizing.  This  requires  the  frequency  of  all  free  running  oscillators  to  be  within  40%  of  each  other  to  assure 
synchronization.

Grounds,  Voltage  Sensing  and  Current  Sensing 
The  voltage  is  sensed  directly  at  the  load.  Proper  load  sharing  requires  the  same  sensed  voltage  for  each  power 
supply  connected  in  parallel.  Referring  to  Figure  6   , the  positive  sense  voltage  (VSP)  connects  to  the  voltage 
error  amplifier  inverting  terminal  (VA–),  the  return  lead  for  the  on-chip  reference  is  used  as  the  negative  sense 
(VSM).  The  current  is  sensed  across  the  shunt  resistor,  RS.
Figure  6  shows  one  recommended  voltage  and  current  sensing  scheme  when  VEE  is  connected  to  GND.  The 
signal  ground  is  the  negative  sense  point  for  the  output  voltage  and  the  positive  sense  point  for  the  output 
current.  The  voltage  offset  on  the  current  sense  amplifier  is  not  needed  if  VEE  is  separated  from  GND.  VEE  is 
the  negative  supply  for  the  current  sense  amplifier.  When  it  is  separated  from  GND,  it  extends  the  current  sense 
amplifier's  common  mode  input  voltage  range  to  include  VEE  which  is  approximately  –0.7  V  below  ground.  The 
resistor  R 
regulated  voltage  being  sensed  is  actually:

The  ADJ  pin  voltage  on  the  slave  chips  will  increase  forcing  their  load  currents  to  increase  to  match  the  master. 
The  ac  frequency  response  of  the  voltage  error  amplifier  is  shown  in  Figure  7   .

Startup  and  Shutdown 
Isolated  power  up  can  be  accomplished  using  the  UCC1889.  Application  Note  U-149  is  available  for  additional 
information.
The  UC3849  offers  several  features  that  enhance  startup  and  shutdown.  Soft  start  is  accomplished  by 
connecting  RUN  to  VA+  and  a  capacitor  to  ground.  The  resulting  RC  rise  time  on  the  VA+  pin  initiates  a  soft 
start.  It  can  also  be  accomplished  by  connecting  RUN  to  ILIM.  When  RUN  is  low  it  commands  zero  load  current, 
assuring  a  soft  start.  The  undervoltage  lockout  (UVLO)  is  a  logical  AND  of  ENBL  <  2.5  V,  SEQ  >  2.5  V,  VCC  >
8.4  V  and  VREF  >  4.65  V.  The  block  diagram  shows  that  the  thresholds  are  set  by  comparators.  By  placing  an 
RC  divider  on  the  SEQ  pin,  the  enabling  of  multiple  chips  can  be  sequenced  with  different  RC  time  constants. 
Similarly,  different  RC  time  constants  on  the  ENBL  pins  can  sequence  shutdown.  The  UVLO  keeps  the  output 
from  switching;  however  the  internal  reference  starts  up  with  VCC  less  than  8.4  V.  The  KILL  input  shuts  down 
the  switching  of  the  chip.  This  can  be  used  in  conjunction  with  an  overvoltage  comparator  for  overvoltage 
protection.  In  order  to  restart  the  chip  after  KILL  has  been  initiated,  the  chip  must  be  powered  down  and  then 
back  up.  A  pulse  on  the  ENBL  pin  also  accomplishes  this  without  actually  removing  voltage  to  the  VCC  pin.

Load  Sharing 
Load  sharing  is  accomplished  similar  to  the  UC1907.  The  sensed  current  for  the  UC3849  has  an  ac  component 
that  is  amplified  and  then  averaged.  The  voltage  error  amplifier  output  is  the  current  command  signal 
representing  the  average  output  load  current.  The  ILIM  pin  programs  the  upper  clamp  voltage  of  this  amplifier 
and  consequently  the  maximum  load  current.  A  gain  of  2  amplifier  connected  between  the  voltage  error  amplifier 
output  and  the  share  amplifier  input  increases  the  current  share  resolution  and  noise  margin.  The  average 
current  is  used  as  an  input  to  a  source  only  load  share  buffer  amplifier.  The  output  of  this  amplifier  is  the  current 
share  bus.  The  device  with  the  highest  sensed  current  will  have  the  highest  voltage  on  the  current  share  bus 
and  consequently  act  as  the  master.  The  60-mV  input  offset  ensures  that  the  unit  sensing  the  highest  load 
current  is  chosen  as  the  master.
The  adjust  amplifier  is  used  by  the  remaining  (slave)  devices  to  adjust  their  respective  references  high  in  order 
to  balance  each  device's  load  current.  The  master's  ADJ  pin  will  be  at  its  1.0-V  clamp  and  connected  back  to  the 
non-inverting  voltage  error  amplifier  input  through  a  high  value  resistor.  This  requires  the  user  to  initially 
calculate  the  control  voltage  with  the  ADJ  pin  at  1.0  V.
VREF  can  be  adjusted  150  mV  to  300  mV  which  compensates  for  5%  unit  to  unit  reference  mismatch  and 
external  resistor  mismatch.  R 
variation  of  the  ADJ  clamp  of  1  V  ±   100  mV  by  a  factor  of  10  to  30,  contributing  only  a  3  mV  to  10  mV  additional 
delta  to  VREF.  Refer  to  the  UC3907  Application  Note  U-130  for  further  information  on  parallel  power  supply  load 
sharing.
Current  Control  Loop 
The  current  sense  amplifier  (CSA)  is  designed  specifically  for  the  task  of  sensing  and  amplifying  the  inductor 
ripple  current  at  frequencies  up  to  1  MHz.  The  CSA's  input  offset  voltage  (VIO)  is  trimmed  to  less  than  1  mV  to 
minimize  error  of  the  average  current  signal.  This  amplifier  is  not  internally  compensated  allowing  the  user  to 
optimally  choose  the  zero  crossing  bandwidth.on  on  parallel  power  supply  load  sharing.

INV

COMP
Although  it  is  only  unity  gain  stable  for  a  GBW  of  7  MHz,  the  amplifier  is  typically  configured  with  a  differential 
gain  of  at  least  10,  allowing  the  amplifier  to  operate  at  70  MHz  with  sufficient  phase  margin.  A  closed  loop  gain 
of  10  attenuates  the  output  by  20.8  dB  to  the  inverting  terminal  assuring  stability.  The  amplifier’s  gain  fed  back 
into  the  inverting  terminal  is  less  than  unity  at  7  MHz,  where  the  phase  margin  begins  to  roll  off.  See  Figure  8   for 
typical  Bode  plot.

IMPORTANT  NOTICE
Texas  Instruments  Incorporated  and  its  subsidiaries  (TI)  reserve  the  right  to  make  corrections,  modifications,  enhancements,  improvements, 
and  other  changes  to  its  products  and  services  at  any  time  and  to  discontinue  any  product  or  service  without  notice.  Customers  should 
obtain  the  latest  relevant  information  before  placing  orders  and  should  verify  that  such  information  is  current  and  complete.  All  products  are 
sold  subject  to  TI’s  terms  and  conditions  of  sale  supplied  at  the  time  of  order  acknowledgment.
TI  warrants  performance  of  its  hardware  products  to  the  specifications  applicable  at  the  time  of  sale  in  accordance  with  TI’s  standard 
warranty.  Testing  and  other  quality  control  techniques  are  used  to  the  extent  TI  deems  necessary  to  support  this  warranty.  Except  where 
mandated  by  government  requirements,  testing  of  all  parameters  of  each  product  is  not  necessarily  performed.
TI  assumes  no  liability  for  applications  assistance  or  customer  product  design.  Customers  are  responsible  for  their  products  and 
applications  using  TI  components.  To  minimize  the  risks  associated  with  customer  products  and  applications,  customers  should  provide 
adequate  design  and  operating  safeguards.
TI  does  not  warrant  or  represent  that  any  license,  either  express  or  implied,  is  granted  under  any  TI  patent  right,  copyright,  mask  work  right, 
or  other  TI  intellectual  property  right  relating  to  any  combination,  machine,  or  process  in  which  TI  products  or  services  are  used.  Information 
published  by  TI  regarding  third-party  products  or  services  does  not  constitute  a  license  from  TI  to  use  such  products  or  services  or  a 
warranty  or  endorsement  thereof.  Use  of  such  information  may  require  a  license  from  a  third  party  under  the  patents  or  other  intellectual 
property  of  the  third  party,  or  a  license  from  TI  under  the  patents  or  other  intellectual  property  of  TI.
Reproduction  of  TI  information  in  TI  data  books  or  data  sheets  is  permissible  only  if reproduction  is  without  alteration  and  is  accompanied 
by  all  associated  warranties,  conditions,  limitations,  and  notices.  Reproduction  of  this  information  with  alteration  is  an  unfair  and  deceptive 
business  practice.  TI  is  not  responsible  or  liable  for  such  altered  documentation.  Information  of  third  parties  may  be  subject  to  additional 
restrictions.
Resale  of  TI  products  or  services  with  statements  different  from  or  beyond  the  parameters  stated  by  TI  for  that  product  or  service  voids  all 
express  and  any  implied  warranties  for  the  associated  TI  product  or  service  and  is  an  unfair  and  deceptive  business  practice.  TI  is  not 
responsible  or  liable  for  any  such  statements.
TI  products  are  not  authorized  for  use  in  safety-critical  applications  (such  as  life  support)  where  a  failure  of  the  TI  product  would  reasonably 
be  expected  to  cause  severe  personal  injury  or  death,  unless  officers  of  the  parties  have  executed  an  agreement  specifically  governing 
such  use.  Buyers  represent  that  they  have  all  necessary  expertise  in  the  safety  and  regulatory  ramifications  of  their  applications,  and 
acknowledge  and  agree  that  they  are  solely  responsible  for  all  legal,  regulatory  and  safety-related  requirements  concerning  their  products 
and  any  use  of  TI  products  in  such  safety-critical  applications,  notwithstanding  any  applications-related  information  or  support  that  may  be 
provided  by  TI.  Further,  Buyers  must  fully  indemnify  TI  and  its  representatives  against  any  damages  arising  out  of  the  use  of  TI  products  in 
such  safety-critical  applications.
TI  products  are  neither  designed  nor  intended  for  use  in  military/aerospace  applications  or  environments  unless  the  TI  products  are 
specifically  designated  by  TI  as  military-grade  or  "enhanced  plastic."  Only  products  designated  by  TI  as  military-grade  meet  military 
specifications.  Buyers  acknowledge  and  agree  that  any  such  use  of  TI  products  which  TI  has  not  designated  as  military-grade  is  solely  at 
the  Buyer's  risk,  and  that  they  are  solely  responsible  for  compliance  with  all  legal  and  regulatory  requirements  in  connection  with  such  use.
TI  products  are  neither  designed  nor  intended  for  use  in  automotive  applications  or  environments  unless  the  specific  TI  products  are 
designated  by  TI  as  compliant  with  ISO/TS  16949  requirements.  Buyers  acknowledge  and  agree  that,  if they  use  any  non-designated 
products  in  automotive  applications,  TI  will  not  be  responsible  for  any  failure  to  meet  such  requirements.
