DESCRIPTION
The UCC39151 programmable hot swap power
manager provides complete power management,
hot swap capability, and circuit breaker functions.
The only external component required to operate
the device, other than power supply bypassing, is
the fault timing capacitor, CT. All control and
housekeeping functions are integrated, and
externally programmable. These include the fault
current level, maximum output sourcing current,
maximum fault time, and start-up delay. In the
event o f a constant fault, the internal fixed 2% duty
cycle ratio limits average output power.
The internal 4-bit DAC allows programming of the
fault level current from 0 A to 3 A with 0.25 A
resolution. The IMAX control pin sets the
maximum sourcing current to 1 A above the trip
level or t o a full 4 A of output current for fast output
capacitor charging.

description (continued)
When the output current is below the fault level, the output MOSFET is switched on with a nominal on-resistance
of 0.15 . When the output current exceeds the fault level, but is less than the maximum sourcing level, the
output remains switched on but the fault timer starts, charging CT. Once CT charges to a preset threshold, the
switch is turned off, and remains o ff for 50 times the programmed fault time. When the output current reaches
the maximum sourcing level, the MOSFET transitions from a switch to a constant current source.

detailed pin descriptions
CT: A capacitor connected to ground sets the maximum fault time. The maximum fault time must be more than
the time required to charge the external capacitance in one cycle. The maximum fault time is defined as:
tFAULT +16.1 103 CT
Once the fault time is reached the output shuts down for a time given by:
tSD +833 103 CT
This equates to a 1.9% duty cycle.
VOUT: Output voltage from the UCC39151. Both VOUT pins should be connected together and connected to
the load. When switched:
VOUT ^VIN *ǒ0.15 W IOUTǓ
VOUT must not exceed VIN by more than 0.3V.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
protecting the UCC39151 from voltage transients
The parasitic inductance associated with the power distribution can cause a voltage spike at VIN if the load
current is suddenly interrupted by the UCC39151. It is important to limit the peak of this spike to less than 15 V
to prevent damage to the UCC39151. 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 VIN, locate the power supply close to the UCC39151 or use PCB power and
ground planes).
Decoupling VIN with a capacitor, CIN (refer to Typical Application diagram), located close to the VIN
pins. This capacitor is typically 1 µF or less to limit the inrush current.
Clamping the voltage at VIN below 15 V with a Zener diode, D1 (refer to Typical Application diagram),
located close to the VIN pins.
estimating maximum load capacitance
For hot swap applications, the rate at which the total output capacitance can be charged depends on the
maximum output current available and the nature of the load. For a constant-current, current-limited application,
the output comes up if the load asks for less than the maximum available short-circuit current.
To guarantee recovery of a duty-cycle from a short-circuited load condition, there is a maximum total output
capacitance which can be charged for a given unit on-time (fault-time). The design value of on-time or fault-time
can be adjusted by changing the timing capacitor CT.

Long CT times must consider the maximum temperature. Thermal shutdown protection may be the limiting

safety recommendations
Although the UCC39151 is designed to provide system protection for all fault conditions, all integrated circuits
can ultimately fail short. For this reason, if the UCC39151 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 UCC39151 prevents the fuse from blowing for virtually all fault conditions, increasing
system reliability and reducing maintenance cost, in addition to providing the hot swap benefits of the device.
