4 / 14 page 4 UCC1837 UCC2837 UCC3837 of the CAP voltage should the external load exceed the average current, which occurs during load and line tran- sient conditions. The value of CAP also determines the startup time of the linear regulator. The voltage at CAP charges up with a time constant determined by the charge pump output impedance (typically 80k Ω) and the value of the capacitor on CAP. An external voltage such as +12V may be tied to the CAP pin directly to insure a higher value of VOUT, which may be useful when a standard level MOSFET is used or when VDD is very low and the resulting VOUT voltage may need to be higher. With an external source applied to CAP, the maximum voltage at VOUT will be approxi- mately 1V below the external source.The external +12V source should be decoupled to GND using a minimum of a 0.01 µF capacitor. Choosing a Pass Element The UCC3837 is designed for use with an N-channel MOSFET pass element only. The designer may choose a logic level or standard gate level MOSFET depending on the input voltage, the required gate drive, and the available voltage at VOUT as discussed previously. MOSFET selection should be based on required dropout voltage and gate drive characteristics. A lower RDS(on) MOSFET is used when low dropout is required, but this type of MOSFET will have higher gate capacitance which may result in a slower transient response. A MOSFET used in linear regulation is typically operated at a gate voltage between the threshold voltage and the gate plateau voltage in order to maintain high gain. This mode of operation is linear, and therefore the channel re- sistance is higher than the manufacturer’s published RDS(on) value. The MOSFET should only be operated in the non-linear (switch) mode under transient conditions, when minimum dropout voltage is required. Disabling the UCC3837 Grounding the CAP pin will remove the drive voltage and effectively disable the output voltage. The device used to short the output of CAP should have a very low leakage current when in the OPEN state, since even a few microamps will lower the charge pump voltage. A second method of disabling the UCC3837 is to place a short circuit across CCOMP. This will have an advantage of a quicker restart time as the voltage at CAP will not be completely discharged. The charge pump will be loaded down by the typical 40 µA charging current of the error amplifier with this configuration, resulting in a lower volt- age at CAP. Compensating the Error Amplifier Using a MOSFET as an external pass element intro- duces a pole in the control loop that is a function of the UCC3837 output impedance, ROUT, typically 6.5kΩ, and the MOSFET input gate capacitance. Fig. 3 indicates that in the normal operation of a linear regulator using a MOSFET, the gate capacitance can be predicted directly from the MOSFET characteristic charge curve, using the relationship: C Qgth Vgth IN = ∆ ∆ This pole can be canceled by programming a zero fre- quency on the output of the UCC3837 error amplifier equal to the pole frequency.
