DESCRIPTION
The UCC384 family of negative linear series pass regula
tors is tailored for low drop out applications where low
quiescent power is important. Fabricated with a
BCDMOS technology ideally suited for low input to out
put differential applications, the UCC384 will pass 0.5A
while requiring only 0.2V of input voltage headroom.
Drop out voltage decreases linearly with output current,
so that drop out at 50mA is less than 20mV.
Quiescent current consumption for the device under nor
mal (non-drop out) conditions is typically 200µA. An inte
grated charge pump is internally enabled only when the
device is operating near drop out with low VIN. This
guarantees that the device will meet the drop out specifi
cations even for maximum load current and a VIN of
–3.2V with only a modest increase in quiescent current.
Quiescent current is always less than 350µA, with the
charge pump enabled. Quiescent current of the UCC384
does not increase with load current.

during short circuit such that heat sinking, if at all re
quired, must only accommodate normal operation. An
external capacitor sets the on time. The off time is al

The UCC384 can be shutdown to 45µA (maximum) by
pulling the SD/CT pin more positive than –0.6V. To allow
-
for simpler interfacing, the SD/CT pin may be pulled up
to +6V above the ground pin without turning on clamping
diodes.
Internal power dissipation is further controlled with ther
mal overload protection circuitry. Thermal shutdown oc
curs if the junction temperature exceeds 140°C. The chip
will remain off until the temperature has dropped 20°C.
