UC3902N Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The UC3902N is an 8-pin load share controller manufactured by Texas Instruments. This device is designed to balance the current drawn from independent, paralleled power supplies, ensuring each supply supports its share of the load current.

 

The controller operates within a voltage range of 2.7V to 20V and consumes approximately 4mA of current. Key features include load sharing capabilities, programmable loop compensation, remote sense functionality, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection. The UC3902N is compatible with existing power supply designs and requires a minimum number of external components.

 

It is available in an 8-PDIP through-hole package. The device utilizes a differential share bus for communication and a precision current sense amplifier with a gain of 40. The master power supply, which regulates to the highest voltage, drives the share bus, and the UC3902N adjusts the output voltage of other supplies accordingly.

 

This load share controller is particularly useful in applications requiring paralleled power supplies, allowing for efficient current distribution and improved system reliability.
