UCC3975PWG4

Introduction

UCC3975PWG4 is an integrated Power Management IC (PMIC). It is designed to provide a reliable, low noise and high efficiency power supply for a variety of applications. The device integrates power, control, and monitoring functions into a single package. It features a wide variety of features and is specifically designed to handle a broad range of power supply requirements including AC/DC and DC/DC conversion, current limiting, and over-voltage protection.

Application Field

The UCC3975PWG4 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including those involving complex control loops such as those found in lighting, industrial, and medical applications. It is particularly well-suited for use in automotive and aerospace applications. It is also ideal for small applications such as remote control, alkaline batteries, and printer power supplies. Other applications include high efficiency DC/DC converters, fanless power supplies, and microcontroller power supplies.

Design Considerations

In designing a system based on the UCC3975PWG4, the designer must consider the power requirements of the system, the control signals required, and the desired system efficiency. The device must be designed to prevent overcurrent, overvoltage, and thermal overload situations. Care must also be taken to ensure that the device is stable over a broad range of temperatures.

Power Supply Stages

UCC3975PWG4 consists of three distinct stages. The power supply stage is the first stage and handles the AC/DC or DC/DC conversion. The control and monitoring stage is the second stage and handles the current limiting and overvoltage protection functions. The power conversion stage is the third stage and consists of a MOSFET bridge rectifier and a resonant inductor. This stage is responsible for delivering the desired power output.

Operating Voltage Range

The operating voltage range for UCC3975PWG4 is between 2.5V and 5.5V. The output voltage can be adjusted by changing the reference voltage. The output voltage is monitored by a voltage comparator to ensure that it remains within the acceptable operating range.

Output Current Limiting

Current limiting is an important part of the UCC3975PWG4 design. The current limit is determined by the output voltage, the input voltage, the sense resistor and the voltage comparator. When the output current exceeds the current limit, the voltage comparator will shut down the power output, preventing any overcurrent or short circuit.

Thermal Protection

The UCC3975PWG4 includes thermal overload protection. The device monitors the temperature of the IC and, if it exceeds a predetermined limit, will shut down the power output. This prevents any burnout of the IC due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

Conclusion

UCC3975PWG4 is an ideal choice for a wide range of power supply applications, including lighting, industrial, and medical applications. It integrates power, control, and monitoring into a single package, allowing for an efficient and reliable system design. It features a wide operating voltage range, current limiting, and thermal protection. With its low noise and high efficiency, the UCC3975PWG4 is an excellent choice for a variety of power supply needs.
