FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
UCC3831
PRELIMINARY
UDG-97101
The UCC3831 Power Controller is designed to provide a self powered
USB hub with a local 3.3V regulated voltage and four 5V regulated volt-
ages for USB ports. Each of the 5V output ports is individually enabled
for optimal port control. Each port also provides an overcurrent fault sig-
nal indicating that the port has exceeded a 500mA current limit. The
3.3V linear regulator is used to power the local USB microcontroller.
This regulator is protected with a 100mA current limit and has a logic
level enable input.
The UCC3831 can be configured to provide USB port power from a
loosely regulated voltage such as a Filament voltage internal to a moni-
tor. Pre-regulation is provided by an internal linear regulator controller
and one external logic level N-channel MOSFET. The UCC3831 can
also be configured without using the pre-regulator stage by connecting
the VREG pins to a regulated 5.5V 2A source.
The UCC3831 comes in a 28-pin wide SOIC power package optimized
for power dissipation, and is protected by internal over-temperature
shutdown mechanism, which disables the outputs should the internal
junction temperature exceed 150C.

UCC3831
ENA-D: Separate enables pins for each of the four 5V
supplies.
ENHUB: Enables the 3.3V output V33. Pulling this pin
low disables V33.
GATE: Gate drive for an external NMOS used to regu-
late the 5.5V VREG supply. Minimum available drive is
11V.
GND: All 6 GND pins must be tied to the system
ground. In addition to serving as electrical conductors,
these 6 pins are heat sinks. Refer to the Packaging De-
vice Temperature Management guide in the Packaging
section of the Unitrode Databook.
OCA-D: Open drain overcurrent indicator. OCA-D can
be wire OR'ed by the user to create a single overcurrent
indicator.
V5A-D: 5V regulated output with enable, 500mA (mini-
mum) current limit, and overcurrent indicator.
V33: 3.3V regulator output. Enable when ENHUB is
high. Current limit is 100mA minimum.
VDRIVE: Internal charge pump voltage is brought out
for external decoupling. Nominal voltage is between 11V
and 13V. No external loading permitting. Decouple with
at least 0.001
F capacitor.
VFIL: Bias supply for all four of the 5V regulators. VFIL
voltage must be between 6V and 9V.
VHUB: Supply for the 3.3V USB controller power supply
and bandgap reference.
VREF: Internal 2.5V reference is brought out for exter-
nal decoupling only. Decouple with 0.01
F capacitor.
VREG: Regulated to 5.5V by means of an external
NMOS. 2 pins supply up to a total of 2.5A to the four 5V
bus voltages (V5A, V5B, V5C, V5D).
