DESCRIPTION
The UCC3916 SCSI termpower manager provides complete power man-
agement, hot swap capability, and circuit breaker functions with minimal ex-
ternal components. For most applications, the only external component
required to operate the device, other than supply bypassing, is a timing ca-
pacitor which sets the fault time.
The current trip level is internally set at 1.65A, and the maximum current
level is also internally programmed for 2A. While the output current is below
the trip level of 1.65A, the internal power MOSFET is switched on at a nom-
inal 220m
. When the output current exceeds the trip level but remains
less than the maximum current level, the MOSFET remains switched on,
but the fault timer starts charging CT. Once the fault time is reached, the cir-
cuit will shut off for a time which equates to a 3% duty cycle. Finally, when
the output current reaches the maximum current level, the MOSFET transi-
tions from a switch to a constant current source.
The UCC3916 is designed for uni-directional current flow, emulating a diode
in series with the power MOSFET.
The UCC3916 can be put in a sleep mode, drawing only 1
A of supply cur-
rent.
Other features include thermal shutdown and low thermal resistance Small

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
CT: A capacitor is applied between this pin and ground to
set the maximum fault time. The maximum fault time
must be more than the time to charge external capaci-
tance. The maximum fault time is defined as:
T
FAULT
= 28 10

CT.
Once the fault time is reached the output will shutdown
for a time given by:
T
SD
= 1 10

CT
this results in a 3% duty cycle. 0.1
F is recommended
for SCSI applications to achieve the normal maximum
capacitance on the Termpwr line.
SHTDWN: The IC enters a low-power sleep mode when
this pin is low and exits the sleep mode when this pin is
high.
VIN: Input voltage to the circuit breaker, ranging from 4V
to 6V.
VOUT: Output voltage of the circuit breaker. When
switched, the output voltage is approximately:
V

= VIN (220m
) I

TYPICAL APPLICATION
UDG-99169
Protecting The UCC3916 From Voltage Transients
The parasitic inductance associated with the power dis-
tribution can cause a voltage spike at V
IN
if the load cur-
rent is suddenly interrupted by the UCC3916.
It is
important to limit the peak of this spike to less than 6V to
prevent damage to the UCC3916
. This voltage spike can
be minimized by:
Reducing the power distribution inductance (e.g., twist
the positive (+) and negative () leads of the power
supply feeding V
IN
pin, locate the power supply close
to the UCC3916 or use a PCB ground plane).
Decoupling V
IN
with a capacitor, C
IN
, located close to
the V
IN
. This capacitor is typically less than 1
F to limit
the inrush current.
Clamping the voltage at V
IN
below 6V with a Zener
diode, D1, located close to the V
IN
pin.
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Although the UCC3916 is designed to provide system
protection for all fault conditions, all integrated circuits
can ultimately fail short. For this reason, if the UCC3916
is intended for use in safety critical applications where
UL
or some other safety rating is required, a redundant
safety device such as a fuse should be placed in series
with the device. The UCC3916 will prevent the fuse from
blowing virtually all fault conditions, increasing system
reliability and reducing maintainence cost, in addition to
providing the hot swap benefits of the device.
