safety recommendations

Although the UCC3915 is designed to provide system protection for all fault conditions, all integrated circuits

can ultimately fail short. For this reason, if the UCC3915 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 UCC3915 will prevent 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.
