DESCRIPTION
The UCC39002 is an advanced, high performance and
low cost loadshare controller that provides all
necessary functions to parallel multiple independent
power supplies or dc-to-dc modules. Targeted for high
reliability applications in server, workstation, telecom
and other distributed power systems, the controller is
suitable for N+1 redundant systems or high current
applications where off-the-shelf power supplies need to
be paralleled.
The BiCMOS UCC39002 is based on the automatic
master/slave architecture of the UC3902 and UC3907
load share controllers. It provides better than 1%
current share error between modules at full load by
using a very low offset post-package-trimmed
current-sense amplifier and a high-gain negative
feedback loop. And with the amplifier’s common mode
range of 0-V to the supply rail, the current sense
resistor, R
SHUNT
, can be placed in either the GND return
path or in the positive output rail of the power supply.
