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.

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.

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.

The timing capacitor (C
) is linearly charged with the charge current forcing the OSC pin to charge to a 3.4-V

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

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.

voltage trim. The zero crossing can also be approximately calculated with Equation 7 . The gain bandwidth of the
current loop is optimized by matching the inductor downslope (V
/L) to the oscillator ramp slope (V
O
Subharmonic oscillation problems are avoided by keeping the amplified inductor downslope less than the
oscillator ramp slope.
The following equation determines the current error amplifier gain (GCA):
where CS
and R
GAIN
are defined by Equation 9 and Equation 10 ,
S
Vs is the oscillator peak to peak voltage,
fs is the oscillator frequency,
V
is the output voltage,
O
and L is the inductance.
Additional Information about average current mode control can be found in Unitrode Application Note U-140.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check
http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements
for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered
at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and
package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS
compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame
retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material)
