DESCRIPTION
The UC37131, UC37132 and UC37133 are a family of smart power
switches which can drive resistive or inductive loads from the high side or
low side.
The UC37132 is available in 14 pin (DIP), 16 pin (SOIC), or 20 pin (CLCC)
packages and can accommodate both low side (load to VCC) or high side
(load to GND) configurations. The UC37131 and UC37133 are exclusively
for a low side or a high side configuration respectively and both are available in an 8 pin package.Both high side and low side configurations provide
high current switching with low saturation voltages which can drive resistive
or inductive loads.
The input to the switch is driven by a low voltage signal, typically 5V. Additionally, UC37132 features adjustable hysteresis. The output of the device
can switch a load between 8V and 65V.Output current capability is 300mA
continuous or 700mA peak.
The device also has inherent smart features that allow for programmable
turn-on delay in enabling the output following startup. The same capacitor
that specifies the turn-on delay is also used to program a VCC power interruption time. If VCC drops below a threshold for a time specified by this capacitor, the output is turned off and a new turn-on delay will be re-triggered.
Similarly, if high current persists longer than the response delay, the output
driver will operate in a very low duty cycle mode to protect the IC.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
R
= 0.5Ω (Note 1); IN=0V (for OFF condition) and IN=5V (for ON condition); TA=TJ.
CDEL: A capacitor connected to this pin is used to pro-
gram both VCC pulse interruption time and power
turn-on delay. The capacitor discharge time corresponds
to VCC interruption and the charge time to VCC turn-on
delay. The ratio between turn-on delay and turn-off delay
will be fixed based on internal charge and discharge currents and voltage thresholds.
The same fault circuitry and capacitor is used for short
circuit and overload protection. If an overcurrent or short
circuit is detected, the capacitor starts charging and
turns off the output if the condition persists at the end of
its charge time. The output will then operate in a low-duty
cycle mode to protect the IC. After short circuit recovery,
the output will be reactivated in order to check if the short
circuit was removed. If the overcurrent persists the chip
will continue in this pulsing mode.
CSH: (For UC37132 and UC37133) This high side current sense pin is used to program the current limit for
high side applications by connecting a resistor between
VCC and CSH. An over load current is detected when
the voltage drop between VCC and CSH exceeds
150mV. For the UC37132, in a high side application, the
CSH pin must be tied to the LS pin; in a low side application, the CSH pin must be tied to VCC
CSL: (For UC37131 and UC37132) This low side current sense pin is used to program the current limit for low
side applications by connecting a resistor between CSL
and GND.An over load current is detected when the voltage drop between CSL and GND exceeds 150mV. For
the UC37132, in a high side application, the CSL pin
must be tied to GND; in a low side application, the CSL
pin must be tied to the HS pin.
HS: (For UC37132 and UC37133) The output of the
switching transistor in the high side configuration. The
emitter of the output transistor is the HS pin which is connected to the load. For the UC37132, the HS pin must be
tied to the CSL pin in a low side application.
HYST: (For UC37132) The pin used to program the input comparator hysteresis by connecting a resistor to
ground. The hysteresis defaults to 30% with HYST
grounded (internally for UC37131 and UC37133).

IN: The input to the comparator that detects when the
output transistor should be turned on. The input threshold is 3.0V (1/2 VREF) and the input voltage range is 0V
to VREF.
LED: Open collector output intended to drive an LED.
This pin is driven low whenever the output is turned off
and is externally pulled high when the output is turned on
(see Fig. 3b and 3c).
LS: (For UC37131 and UC37132) The output of the
switching transistor in the low side configuration. The collector of the output transistor is the LS pin which is connected to the load. For the UC37132, the LS pin must be
tied to the CSH pin in a high side application.
VREF: The 6V regulated reference capable of supplying
up to 8mA. The recommended decoupling capacitor is
1nF.
VCC: The supply voltage for the chip. Decouple this pin
with a good quality ceramic capacitor to ground.
GND: The reference point for the internal reference, all
thresholds, and the return for the remainder of the device.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Reference
The UC37131/2/3 family of devices features a 6V
bandgap reference that is used to bias on-chip logic. Although the 6V reference is not trimmed, this bandgap reference provides less than 200ppm/°C. It is also used to
generate the on-chip 3V input comparator threshold and
is needed for the programmable hysteresis. The on-chip
reference has 8mA maximum current sourcing capacity
that is designed to power up external circuitry.
Input Comparator
The input comparator is a high gain comparator with hysteresis that fully switches with either a small signal
(30mV, minimum for 1% hysteresis) or a logic signal (0 to
6V max). Only a 5mV overdrive of the 3V threshold is
needed to switch the driver.
The hysteresis is set to 30% on the UC37131 and
UC37133. (This is 30% of 3V equating to 0.9V of hysteresis.) On the UC37132 it is programmable from 1% to
30%.
Fault Logic
The output of the comparator is logic ANDed with the
output of the fault logic. If a fault, either a power interrupt
or an overcurrent condition, persists longer than it takes
for the CDEL to discharge from its V
5.8V to its V
FAULT_L
of 1.3V, the fault protection block will
CDEL_MAX
output a logic 0 to the NAND gate and turn off the output
driver. If the fault goes away prior to CDEL being discharged to 1.3V, the chip will resume normal operation
without going through a turn-on delay.
The power interrupt normal operation consists of the chip
turning the driver immediately back on if the interrupt
goes away prior to CDEL reaching its lower threshold as
described above. The CDEL capacitor is chosen based
upon the maximum power interrupt time (t
without the output experiencing a turn-on delay. This interrupt time must be less than t

current of approximately 4µA. If the power stays off longer than this time, then a power up delay will be initialized once power is resumed. This delay is the time it
takes for CDEL to charge from 0V to V
The overcurrent fault normal operation consists of the
chip staying off until CDEL fully recharges to V
4.9V. This is t
. Once CDEL reaches 4.9V, the driver
R(OFF)
will turn back on. If the overcurrent fault is still present,
the chip will operate in a very low duty cycle (approximately 0.7%) based on the discharge (driver on) and
charge time (driver off) of the CDEL capacitor. This
overcurrent timing makes the chip act "smart" by allowing
very high currents needed to drive large capacitive loads
without setting off an overcurrent fault.
The overcurrent and current limit thresholds are programmed with the resistor R

Output Driver
Once the turn-on signal is gated through from the input
comparator, the output transistor is turned on. The output
drive transistor is a composite PNP, NPN structure. This
is a specially designed structure that keeps all the drive
current needed for the load to be sourced through the LS
pin. This keeps the overall power dissipation to less than
4mA independent of the load.
The output driver also has a 72V zener diode wired between its base and collector. This allows the output to
swing and clamp to 72V above ground when discharging
an inductive load in a low side application. The inductive
zener clamp can discharge the 250mA to 400mA full
is
load current. This consequently allows the LS pin to
safely swing above VCC. Similarly, the 72V zener diode
will allow the HS pin to safely swing and clamp 72V below LS/VCC when discharging an inductive load in a high
side application. This 72V zener diode simplifies the user
application by eliminating the need for external clamp diodes.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Choosing The CDEL Capacitor
The maximum amount of time that VCC power can be interrupted and not require the outputs to go through a
turn-on delay cycle is user programmable by the CDEL
capacitor value. While VCC is interrupted, the outputs
will be in an indeterminate state and they may turn off
during this interval, t
grammed interruption time is not exceeded, the outputs
will immediately turn back on with the return of VCC.
For example:
ts
≈ 500µ
INT
CDEL is selected such that the time it takes for this capacitor to discharge from V
(1.3V) with a discharge current of 94µA is just greater
than this t

The outputs would be off for this amount of time after
VCC power is restored. The total amount of time the outputs could be disabled is equal to the t
