DESCRIPTION
The UC39431 is an adjustable shunt voltage regulator with 100mA sink capability. The architecture, comprised of an error amplifier and transconductance amplifier, gives the user separate control of the small signal error voltage frequency response along with a fixed linear transconductance. A minimum 3MHz gain bandwidth product for both the error and transconductance amplifiers assures fast response. In addition to external programming, the IC has three internal resistors that can be connected in six different configurations to provide regulated voltages of 2.82V, 3.12V, 5.1V, 7.8V, 10.42V, and 12.24V. A sister device (UC39432) provides access to the non-inverting error ampilifer input and reference, while eliminating the three internal resistors.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS (cont.)
COLL: The collector of the output transistor with a maximum voltage of 36V. This pin is the output of the transconductance amplifier. The overall open loop voltage gain of the transconductance amplifier is gm • RL, where gm is designed to be –140mS ±30mS and RL represents the output load.
COMP: The output of the error amplifier and the input to the transconductance amplifier. This pin is available to compensate the high frequency gain of the error amplifier. It is internally voltage limited to approximately 2.0V.
GND: The reference and power ground for the device. The power ground of the output transistor is isolated on the chip from the substrate ground used to bias the remainder of the device.
R1, R2, R3: Connection points to the three internal resistors.
SENSE: The inverting terminal of the error amplifier used as both the voltage sense input to the error amplifier and its other compensation point. The error amplifier uses the SENSE input to compare against the 1.3V on-chip reference.

The SENSE pin is also used as the undervoltage lockout (UVLO). It is intended to keep the chip from operating until the internal reference is properly biased. The threshold is approximately 1V. It is important that once the UVLO is released, the error amplifier can drive the transconductance amplifier to stabilize the loop. If a capacitor is connected between the SENSE and COMP pins to create a pole, it will limit the slew rate of the error amplifier. To increase the bandwidth and ensure startup at low load current, it is recommended to create a zero along with the pole as shown in the shunt regulator application. The error amplifier must slew 2.0V to drive the transconductance amplifier initially on.
VCC: The power connection for the device. The minimum to maximum operating voltage is 2.2V to 36.0V. The quiescent current is typically 0.50mA.
