4 Description
The UCD3138 family is a digital power supply controller from Texas Instruments offering superior levels of
integration and performance in a single chip solution. The UCD3138x, in comparison to Texas Instruments
UCD3138x digital power controller offers 64 kB of program Flash memory in UCD3138A64 (128 KB in
UCD3138128) and additional options for communication such as SPI and a second I2C port. The availability of
program Flash memory in multiple 32 kB banks enables designers to implement dual images of firmware (e.g.
one main image + one back-up image) in the device and provides the option to execute from either of the banks
using appropriate algorithms. It also creates the unique opportunity for the processor to load a new program and
subsequently execute that program without interrupting power delivery. This feature allows the end user to add
new features to the power supply in the field while eliminating any down-time required to load the new program.
The flexible nature of the UCD3138 family makes it suitable for a wide variety of power conversion applications.
In addition, multiple peripherals inside the device have been specifically optimized to enhance the performance
of AC/DC and isolated DC/DC applications and reduce the solution component count in the IT and network
infrastructure space. The UCD3138 family is a fully programmable solution offering customers complete control
of their application, along with ample ability to differentiate their solution. At the same time, TI is committed to
simplifying our customer’s development effort through offering best in class development tools, including
application firmware, Code Composer StudioTM software development environment, and TI’s Fusion Power
Development GUI which enables customers to configure and monitor key system parameters.
At the core of the controller are the Digital Power Peripherals (DPP). Each DPP implements a high speed digital
control loop consisting of a dedicated Error Analog to Digital Converter (EADC), a PID based 2 pole - 2 zero
digital compensator and DPWM outputs with 250ps pulse width resolution. The device also contains a 12-bit, 267
ksps general purpose ADC with up to 15 channels, timers, interrupt control, PMBus, I2C, SPI and UART
communications ports. The device is based on a 32-bit ARM7TDMI-S RISC microcontroller that performs real-
time monitoring, configures peripherals and manages communications. The ARM microcontroller executes its
program out of programmable flash memory as well as on chip RAM and ROM.
In addition to the DPP, specific power management peripherals have been added to enable high efficiency
across the entire operating range, high integration for increased power density, reliability, and lowest overall
system cost and high flexibility with support for the widest number of control schemes and topologies. Such
peripherals include: light load burst mode, synchronous rectification, LLC and phase shifted full bridge mode
switching, input voltage feed forward, copper trace current sense, ideal diode emulation, constant current
constant power control, synchronous rectification soft on and off, peak current mode control, flux balancing,
secondary side input voltage sensing, high resolution current sharing, hardware configurable soft start with pre
bias, as well as several other features. Topology support has been optimized for voltage mode and peak current
mode controlled phase shifted full bridge, single and dual phase PFC, bridgeless PFC, hard switched full bridge
and half bridge, active clamp forward converter, two switch forward converter and LLC half bridge and full bridge.

8.10 Typical Clock Gating Power Savings
The CLKGATECTRL register provides control bits that can enable or disable the clock to several peripherals
such as, PCM, CPCC, digital filters, front ends, DPWMs, UARTs, ADC-12 and more.
By default, all these controls are enabled. If a specific peripheral is not used the clock gate can be disabled in
order to block the propagation of the clock signal to that peripheral and therefore reduce the overall current
consumption of the device. The power savings chart displays the power savings per module. For example there
are 4 DPWM modules, therefore, if all 4 are disabled a total of ~20 mA can be saved.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
9.1.1 ARM Processor
The ARM7TDMI-S processor is a synthesizable member of the ARM family of general purpose 32-bit
microprocessors. The ARM architecture is based on RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) principles where
two instruction sets are available. The 32-bit ARM instruction set and the 16-bit Thumb instruction set. The
Thumb instructions allow for higher code density equivalent to a 16-bit microprocessor, with the performance of
the 32-bit microprocessor.
The three-staged pipelined ARM processor has fetch, decode and execute stage architecture. Major blocks in
the ARM processor include a 32-bit ALU, 32 x 8 multiplier, and a barrel shifter.
9.1.2 Memory
The UCD3138x (ARM7TDMI-S) is a Von-Neumann architecture, where a single bus provides access to all of the
memory modules. All of the memory module addresses are sequentially aligned along the same address range.
This applies to program flash, data flash, ROM and all other peripherals.
Within the UCD3138 family architecture, there is a 1024x32-bit Boot ROM that contains the initial firmware
startup routines for PMBUS communication and non-volatile (FLASH) memory download. This boot ROM is
executed after power-up-reset checks if there is a valid FLASH program written. If a valid program is present, the
ROM code branches to the main FLASH-program execution. If there is no valid program, the device waits for a
program download through the PMBus.
The UCD3138 family also supports customization of the boot program by allowing an alternative boot routine to
be executed from program FLASH. This feature enables assignment of a unique address to each device;
therefore, enabling firmware reprogramming even when several devices are connected on the same
communication bus.
There are three separate flash memory areas present inside the device. There are 2-32 kB program flash blocks
and 1-2 kB data flash area. The 32 kB program areas are organized as 8 k x 32 bit memory blocks and are
intended to be for the firmware programs. The blocks are configured with page erase capability for erasing blocks
as small as 1 kB per page, or with a mass erase for erasing the entire 32 kB array. The flash endurance is
specified at 1000 erase/write cycles and the data retention is good for 100 years. The 2 kB data flash array is
organized as a 512 x 32 bit memory (32 byte page size). The data flash is intended for firmware data value
storage and data logging. Thus, the Data flash is specified as a high endurance memory of 20 k cycles with
embedded error correction code (ECC).
For run time data storage and scratchpad memory, a 8 kB RAM is available. The RAM is organized as a 2 k x 32
bit array.
The availability of 64 kB or 128 kB of program Flash memory in 2-32 kB or 4-32 kB banks, respectively enables
the designers to implement multiple images of firmware (e.g. one main image + one back-up image) in the device
and the flexibility to execute from either of the banks using appropriate algorithms. It also creates the unique
opportunity for the processor to load a new program and subsequently execute that program without interrupting
power delivery. This feature allows the end user to add new features to the power supply while eliminating any
down-time required to load the new program.
The UCD3138128 adds two additional 32 kB program flash blocks. On the UCD3138128, the boot ROM supports
a dual image configuration where each image contains 64 kB. If the first 64kB has an invalid program, the boot
ROM will check for a valid program in the second 64kB and jump there. The boot ROM also supports a
configuration with a single program occupying the entire 128 kB.
For the UCD3138128, on the fly updates are supported through boot ROM while UCD3138A64 on the fly
updates are supported through boot flash. Detailed procedures can be found in SLUUB54

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 System Module
The System Module contains the interface logic and configuration registers to control and configure all the
memory, peripherals and interrupt mechanisms. The blocks inside the system module are the address decoder,
memory management controller, system management unit, central interrupt unit, and clock control unit.
9.3.1.1 Address Decoder (DEC)
The Address Decoder generates the memory selects for the FLASH, ROM and RAM arrays. The memory map
addresses are selectable through configurable register settings. These memory selects can be configured from 1
kB to 16 MB. Power on reset uses the default addresses in the memory map for ROM execution, which is then
configured by the ROM code to the application setup. During access to the DEC registers, a wait state is
asserted to the CPU. DEC registers are only writable in the ARM privilege mode for user mode protection.
9.3.1.2 Memory Management Controller (MMC)
The MMC manages the interface to the peripherals by controlling the interface bus for extending the read and
write accesses to each peripheral. The unit generates eight peripheral select lines with 1 kB of address space
decoding.
9.3.1.3 System Management (SYS)
The SYS unit contains the software access protection by configuring user privilege levels to memory or
peripherals modules. It contains the ability to generate fault or reset conditions on decoding of illegal address or
access conditions. A clock control setup for the processor clock (MCLK) speed, is also available.
9.3.1.4 Central Interrupt Module (CIM)
The CIM accepts 32 interrupt requests for meeting firmware timing requirements. The ARM processor supports
two interrupt levels: FIQ and IRQ. FIQ is the highest priority interrupt. The CIM provides hardware expansion of
interrupts by use of FIQ/IRQ vector registers for providing the offset index in a vector table. This numerical index
value indicates the highest precedence channel with a pending interrupt and is used to locate the interrupt vector
address from the interrupt vector table. Interrupt channel 0 has the lowest precedence and interrupt channel 31
has the highest precedence. To remove the interrupt request, the firmware should clear the request as the first
action in the interrupt service routine. The request channels are maskable, allowing individual channels to be
selectively disabled or enabled.

9.3.2.1.1 Front End
Figure 9 shows the block diagram of the front end module. It consists of a differential amplifier, an adjustable
gain error amplifier, a high speed flash analog to digital converter (EADC), digital averaging filters and a precision
high resolution set point DAC reference. The programmable gain amplifier in concert with the EADC and the
adjustable digital gain on the EADC output work together to provide 9 bits of range with 6 bits of resolution on the
EADC output. The output of the Front End module is a 9 bit sign extended result with a gain of 1 LSB / mV.
Depending on the value of AFE selected, the resolution of this output could be either 1, 2, 4 or 8 LSBs. In
addition Front End 0 has the ability to automatically select the AFE value such that the minimum resolution is
maintained that still allows the voltage to fit within the range of the measurement. The EADC control logic
receives the sample request from the DPWM module for initiating an EADC conversion. EADC control circuitry
captures the EADC-9-bit-code and strobes the filter for processing of the representative error. The set point DAC
has 10 bits with an additional 4 bits of dithering resulting in an effective resolution of 14 bits. This DAC can be
driven from a variety of sources to facilitate things like soft start, nested loops, etc. Some additional features
include the ability to change the polarity of the error measurement and an absolute value mode which
automatically adds the DAC value to the error.
It is possible to operate the controller in a peak current mode control configuration. In this mode topologies like
the phase shifted full bridge converter can be controlled to maintain transformer flux balance. The internal DAC
can be ramped at a synchronously controlled slew rate to achieve a programmable slope compensation. This
eliminates the sub-harmonic oscillation as well as improves input voltage feed-forward performance. A0 is a unity
gain buffer used to isolate the peak current mode comparator. The offset of this buffer is specified in the
Electrical Characteristics table.

9.3.2.1.2 DPWM Module
The DPWM module represents one complete DPWM channel with 2 independent outputs, A and B. Multiple
DPWM modules within the UCD3138x system can be configured to support all key power topologies. DPWM
modules can be used as independent DPWM outputs, each controlling one power supply output voltage rail. It
can also be used as a synchronized DPWM—with user selectable phase shift between the DPWM channels to
control power supply outputs with multiphase or interleaved DPWM configurations.
The output of the filter feeds the high resolution DPWM module. The DPWM module produces the pulse width
modulated outputs for the power stage switches. The filter calculates the necessary duty ratio as a 24-bit number
in Q23 fixed point format (23 bit integer with 1 sign bit). This represents a value within the range 0.0 to 1.0. This
duty ratio value is used to generate the corresponding DPWM output ON time. The resolution of the DPWM ON
time is 250 psec.
Each DPWM module can be synchronized to another module or to an external synchronization signal. An input
SYNC signal causes a DPWM ramp timer to reset. The SYNC signal outputs—from each of the four DPWM
modules—occur when the ramp timer crosses a programmed threshold. This allows the phase of the DPWM
outputs for multiple power stages to be tightly controlled.
The DPWM logic takes the output of the filter and converts it into the correct DPWM output for several power
supply topologies. It provides for programmable dead times and cycle adjustments for current balancing between
phases. It controls the triggering of the EADC. It can synchronize to other DPWMs or to external sources. It can
provide synchronization information to other DPWMs or to external recipients. In addition, it interfaces to several
fault handling circuits. Some of the control for these fault handling circuits is in the DPWM registers. Fault
handling is covered in the Fault Mux section.
Each DPWM module supports the following features:
Dedicated 14 bit time-base with period and frequency control
Shadow period register for end of period updates.
Quad-event control registers (A and B, rising and falling) (Events 1-4)
Used for on/off DPWM duty ratio updates.
Phase control relative to other DPWM modules
Sample trigger placement for output voltage sensing at any point during the DPWM cycle.
Support for 2 independent edge placement DPWM outputs (same frequency or period setting)

Pulse cycle adjustment of up to ±8.192 µs ( 32768 × 250 ps)
Active high/ active low output polarity selection
Provides events to trigger both CPU interrupts and start of ADC12 conversions.
9.3.2.1.3 DPWM Events
Each DPWM can control the following timing events:
1. Sample Trigger Count–This register defines where the error voltage is sampled by the EADC in relationship
to the DPWM period. The programmed value set in the register should be one fourth of the value calculated
based on the DPWM clock. As the DCLK (DCLK = 62.5 MHz max) controlling the circuitry runs at one fourth
of the DPWM clock (PCLK = 250MHz max). When this sample trigger count is equal to the DPWM Counter,
it initiates a front end calculation by triggering the EADC, resulting in a CLA calculation, and a DPWM
update. Over-sampling can be set for 2, 4 or 8 times the sampling rate.
2. Phase Trigger Count–count offset for slaving another DPWM (Multi-Phase/Interleaved operation).
3. Period–low resolution switching period count. (count of PCLK cycles)
4. Event 1–count offset for rising DPWM A event. (PCLK cycles)
5. Event 2–DPWM count for falling DPWM A event that sets the duty ratio. Last 4 bits of the register are for
high resolution control. Upper 14 bits are the number of PCLK cycle counts.
6. Event 3–DPWM count for rising DPWM B event. Last 4 bits of the register are for high resolution control.
Upper 14 bits are the number of PCLK cycle counts.
7. Event 4–DPWM count for falling DPWM B event. Last 4 bits of the register are for high resolution control.
Upper 14 bits are the number of PCLK cycle counts.
8. Cycle Adjust–Constant offset for Event 2 and Event 4 adjustments.
Basic comparisons between the programmed registers and the DPWM counter can create the desired edge
placements in the DPWM. High resolution edge capability is available on Events 2, 3 and 4.

The drawing above is for multi-mode, open loop. Open loop means that the DPWM is controlled entirely by its
own registers, not by the filter output. In other words, the power supply control loop is not closed.
The Sample Trigger signals are used to trigger the Front End to sample input signals. The Blanking signals are
used to blank fault measurements during noisy events, such as FET turn on and turn off. Additional DPWM

9.3.2.1.4 High Resolution DPWM
Unlike conventional PWM controllers where the frequency of the clock dictates the maximum resolution of PWM
edges, the UCD3138x DPWM can generate waveforms with resolutions as small as 250 ps. This is 16 times the
resolution of the clock driving the DPWM module.
This is achieved by providing the DPWM mechanism with 16 phase shifted clock signals of 250 MHz each.
9.3.2.1.5 Over Sampling
The DPWM module has the capability to trigger an over sampling event by initiating the EADC to sample the
error voltage. The default “00” configuration has the DPWM trigger the EADC once based on the sample trigger
register value. The over sampling register has the ability to trigger the sampling 2, 4 or 8 times per PWM period.
Thus the time the over sample happens is at the divide by 2, 4, or 8 time set in the sampling register. The “01”
setting triggers 2X over sampling, the “10” setting triggers 4X over sampling, and the “11” triggers over sampling
at 8X.
9.3.2.1.6 DPWM Interrupt Generation
The DPWM has the capability to generate a CPU interrupt based on the PWM frequency programmed in the
period register. The interrupt can be scaled by a divider ratio of up to 255 for developing a slower interrupt
service execution loop. This interrupt can be fed to the ADC circuitry for providing an ADC12 trigger for sequence
synchronization. Table 2 outlines the divide ratios that can be programmed.

9.3.3 Automatic Mode Switching
Automatic Mode switching enables the DPWM module to switch between modes automatically, with no firmware
intervention. This is useful to increase efficiency and power range. The following paragraphs describe phase-
shifted full bridge and LLC examples.
9.3.3.1 Phase Shifted Full Bridge Example
In phase shifted full bridge topologies, efficiency can be increased by using pulse width modulation, rather than
phase shift, at light load. This is shown below:

9.3.3.2 LLC Example
In LLC, three modes are used. At the highest frequency, a pulse width modulated mode (Multi Mode) is used. As
the frequency decreases, resonant mode is used. As the frequency gets still lower, the synchronous MOSFET
drive changes so that the on-time is fixed and does not increase. In addition, the LLC control supports cycle-by-
cycle current limiting. This protection function operates by a comparator monitoring the maximum current during
the DPWMA conduction time. Any time this current exceeds the programmable comparator reference the pulse is
immediately terminated. Due to classic instability issues associated with half-bridge topologies it is also possible
to force DPWMB to match the truncated pulse width of DPWMA. Here are the waveforms for the LLC:

9.3.3.3 Mechanism For Automatic Mode Switching
The UCD3138x allows the customer to enable up to two distinct levels of automatic mode switching. These
different modes are used to enhance light load operation, short circuit operation and soft start. Many of the
configuration parameters for the DPWM are in DPWM Control Register 1. For automatic mode switching, some
of these parameters are duplicated in the Auto Config Mid and Auto Config High registers.
If automatic mode switching is enabled, the filter duty signal is used to select which of these three registers is
used. There are 4 registers which are used to select the points at which the mode switching takes place. They
are used as shown below.
Figure 15. Automatic Mode Switching
As shown, the registers are used in pairs for hysteresis. The transition from Control Register 1 to Auto Config
Mid only takes place when the Filter Duty goes above the Low Upper threshold. It does not go back to Auto
Config Mid until the Low Lower Threshold is passed. This prevents oscillation between modes if the filter duty is
close to a mode switching point.
9.3.4 DPWMC, Edge Generation, Intramux
The UCD3138x has hardware for generating complex waveforms beyond the simple DPWMA and DPWMB
waveforms already discussed DPWMC, the Edge Generation Module, and the IntraMux.
DPWMC is a signal inside the DPWM logic. It goes high at the Blanking A begin time, and low at the Blanking A
end time.
The Edge Gen module takes DPWMA and DPWMB from its own DPWM module, and the next one, and uses
them to generate edges for two outputs. For DPWM3, the DPWM0 is considered to be the next DPWM. Each
edge (rising and falling for DPWMA and DPWMB) has 8 options which can cause it.
The options are:
0 = DPWM(n) A Rising edge

A OFF SELECT
B ON SELECT

4 = DPWM(n+1) A Rising edge
5 = DPWM(n+1) A Falling edge
6 = DPWM(n+1) B Rising edge
7 = DPWM(n+1) B Falling edge
Where “n" is the numerical index of the DPWM module of interest. For example n=1 refers to DPWM1.
The Edge Gen is controlled by the DPWMEDGEGEN register. It also has an enable/disable bit.
The IntraMux is controlled by the Auto Config registers. Intra Mux is short for intra multiplexer. The IntraMux
takes signals from multiple DPWMs and from the Edge Gen and combines them logically to generate DPWMA
and DPWMB signals This is useful for topologies like phase-shifted full bridge, especially when they are
controlled with automatic mode switching. Of course, it can all be disabled, and DPWMA and DPWMB will be
driven as described in the sections above. If the Intra Mux is enabled, high resolution must be disabled, and
DPWM edge resolution goes down to 4 ns.
Here is a drawing of the Edge Gen/Intra Mux:

Figure 17. First Section of the Filter
The filter input, Xn, generally comes from a front end. Then there are three branches, P, I. and D. Note that the D
branch also has a pole, Kd Alpha. Clamps are provided both on the I branch and on the D alpha pole.
The filter also supports a nonlinear mode, where up to 7 different sets of coefficients can be selected depending
on the magnitude of the error input Xn. This can be used to increase the filter gain for higher errors to improve
transient response.
Here is the output section of the filter (S0.23 means that there is 1 sign bit, 0 integer bits and 23 fractional bits).:
Figure 18. Output Section of the Filter
This section combines the P, I, and D sections, and provides for saturation, scaling, and clamping.
There is a final section for the filter, which permits its output to be matched to the DPWM:

Figure 19. Final Section for the Filter
This permits the filter output to be multiplied by a variety of correction factors to match the DPWM Period, to
provide for Voltage Feed Forward, or for other purposes. After this, there is another clamp. For resonant mode,
the filter can be used to generate both period and duty cycle.
9.3.5.1 Loop Multiplexer
The Loop Mux controls interconnections between the filters, front ends, and DPWMs. Any filter, front end, and
DPWM can be combined in a variety of configurations.
It also controls the following connections:
DPWM to Front End
Front End DAC control from Filters or Constant Current/Constant Power Module
Filter Special Coefficients and Feed Forward
DPWM synchronization
Filter to DPWM
The following control modules are configured in the Loop Mux:
Constant Power/Constant Current
Cycle Adjustment (Current and flux balancing)
Global Period
Light Load (Burst Mode)
Analog Peak Current Mode
9.3.5.2 Fault Multiplexer
In order to allow a flexible way of mapping several fault triggering sources to all the DPWMs channels, the
UCD3138x provides an extensive array of multiplexers that are united under the name Fault Mux module.
The Fault Mux Module supports the following types of mapping between all the sources of fault and all the
different fault response mechanisms inside each DPWM module.
Many fault sources may be mapped to a single fault response mechanism. For instance an analog
comparator in charge of over voltage protection, a digital comparator in charge of over current protection and
an external digital fault pin can be all mapped to a Fault-A signal connected to a single FAULT MODULE and
shut down DPWM1-A.
A single fault source can be mapped to many fault response mechanisms inside many DPWM modules. For
instance an analog comparator in charge of over current protection can be mapped to DPWM-0 through
DPWM-3 by way of several fault modules.
Many fault sources can be mapped to many fault modules inside many DPWM modules.

Figure 20. Fault Mux Module
The Fault Mux Module provides a multitude of fault protection functions within the UCD3138x high-speed loop
(Front End Control, Filter, DPWM and Loop Mux modules). The Fault Mux Module allows highly configurable
fault generation based on digital comparators, high-speed analog comparators and external fault pins. Each of
the fault inputs to the DPWM modules can be configured to one or any combination of the fault events provided
in the Fault Mux Module.
Each one of the DPWM engines has four fault modules. The modules are called CBC fault module, AB fault
module, A fault module and B fault module.
The internal circuitry in all the four fault modules is identical, and the difference between the modules is limited to
the way the modules are attached to the DPWMs.

Figure 21. Fault Module
All fault modules provide immediate fault detection but only once per DPWM switching cycle. Each one of the
fault modules own a separate max_count and the fault flag will be set only if sequential cycle-by-cycle fault count
exceeds max_count.
Once the fault flag is set, DPWMs need to be disabled by DPWM_EN going low in order to clear the fault flags.
Please note, all four Fault Modules share the same DPWM_EN control, all fault flags (output of Fault Modules)
will be cleared simultaneously.
All four Fault Modules share the same global FAULT_EN as well. Therefore a specific Fault Module cannot be
enabled/ disabled separately.
Figure 22. Cycle-By-Cycle Block
Unlike Fault Modules, only one Cycle by Cycle block is available in each DPWM module.
The Cycle by Cycle block works in conjunction with CBC Fault Module and enables DPWM reaction to signals
arriving from the Analog Peak current mode (PCM) module.
The Fault Mux Module supports the following basic functions:
4 digital comparators with programmable thresholds and fault generation
Configuration for 7 high speed analog comparators with programmable thresholds and fault generation
External GPIO detection control with programmable fault generation
Configurable DPWM fault generation for DPWM Current Limit Fault, DPWM Over-Voltage Detection Fault,

9.3.6 Communication Ports
9.3.6.1 SCI (UART) Serial Communication Interface
A maximum of two independent Serial Communication Interface (SCI) or Universal Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter (UART) interfaces are included within the device for asynchronous start-stop serial data
communication (see the pin out sections for details). Each interface has a 24 bit pre-scaler for supporting
programmable baud rates, a programmable data word and stop bit options. Half or full duplex operation is
configurable through register bits. A loop back feature can also be setup for firmware verification. Both SCI-TX
and SCI-RX pin sets can be used as GPIO pins when the peripheral is not being used.
9.3.6.2 PMBUS/I2C
The UCD3138x has two independent interfaces which both support PMBus and I2C in master and slave modes.
Only one of the interfaces has control of the address pin current sources as well as support for the optional
Control and Alert lines described in the PMBus specification. Other than these differences, the interfaces are
identical.
The PMBus/I2C interface is designed to minimize the processor overhead required for interface. It can
automatically detect and acknowledge addresses. It handles start and stop conditions automatically, and can
clock stretch until the processor has time to poll the PMBus status. It will automatically receive and send up to 4
bytes at a time. It can automatically verify and generate a PEC. This means that a write byte command can be
received by the processor with only one function call. There is no need for any interrupts at all with this
PMBus/I2C interface. If it is polled every few milliseconds, it will work perfectly.
The interface also supports automatic ACK of two independent addresses. If both PMBus/I2C interfaces are used
at the same time a total of 4 independent addresses can be automatically detected.
Example: PMBus Address Decode via ADC12 Reading
The user can allocate 2 pins of the 12-bit ADC input channels, AD_00 and AD_01, for PMBus address decoding.
At power-up the device applies IBIAS to each address detect pin and the voltage on that pin is captured by the
internal 12-bit ADC.

PMBus/I2C address 0x7E is a reserved address and should not be used in a system using the UCD3138x. This
address is used for manufacturing test.
9.3.6.3 SPI
The SPI is a high-speed synchronous serial input/output port that allows a serial bit stream of programmed length
(1 to 16 bits) to be shifted into and out of the device at a programmed bit-transfer rate. The SPI is normally used
for communication between the UCD3138x and external peripherals. Typical applications include an interface to
external I/O or peripheral expansion via devices such as shift registers, display drivers, SPI EPROMs and
analog-to-digital converters. The SPI allows serial communication with other SPI devices through a 3-pin or 4-pin
mode interface. The SPI typically is configured as a master for communicating to external EEPROM.

Figure 25. SPI Timing Diagram
9.3.7 Real Time Clock
The UCD3138x has an internal real time clock (RTC) function that can track time in seconds, minutes, hours and
days. This function requires an external precision 10 MHz clock.
Firmware writable time/day register which tracks the total number of days.
The day counter will be able to count 4 years worth of days.
Years and months and leap year calculation must be calculated in firmware.
Firmware programmable frequency correction of ±200 ppm in 0.8 ppm steps
The RTC function can provide interrupts to the IRQ or FIQ at 1, 10, 30, and 60 second intervals.
The clock from the RTC driver can be driven to an external pin through an internal multiplexor
The clock for the RTC function can come from an external clock through a dedicated GPIO pin.
9.3.8 Timers
External to the Digital Power Peripherals there are 3 different types of timers in UCD3138x. They are the 24-bit
timer, 16-bit timer and the watchdog timer
9.3.8.1 24-Bit Timer
There is one 24 bit timer which runs off the Interface Clock. It can be used to measure the time between two
events, and to generate interrupts after a specific interval. Its clock can be divided down by an 8-bit pre-scalar to
provide longer intervals. The timer has two compare registers (Data Registers). Both can be used to generate an
interrupt after a time interval. . Additionally, the timer has a shadow register (Data Buffer register) which can be
used to store CPU updates of the compare events while still using the timer. The selected shadow register
update mode happens after the compare event matches.

The two capture pins TCAP0 and TCAP1 are inputs for recording a capture event. A capture event can be set
either to rising, falling, or both edges of the capture pin signal. Upon this event, the counter value is stored in the
corresponding capture data register. Five Interrupts from the 24 bit timer can be set, which are the counter
rollover event (overflow), capture events 0 and 1, and the two comparison match events. Each interrupt can be
disabled or enabled.
9.3.8.2 16-Bit PWM Timers
There are four 16 bit counter PWM timers which run off the Interface Clock and can further be divided down by a
8-bit pre-scaler to generate slower PWM time periods. Each timer has two compare registers (Data Registers) for
generating the PWM set/unset events. Additionally, each timer has a shadow register (Data Buffer register)
which can be used to store CPU updates of compare events while still using the timer. The selected shadow
register update mode happens after the compare event matches.
The counter reset can be configured to happen on a counter roll over, a compare equal event, or by a software
controlled register. Interrupts from the PWM timer can be set due to the counter rollover event (overflow) or by
the two comparison match events. Each comparison match and the overflow interrupts can be disabled or
enabled.
Upon an event comparison, the PWM pin can be configured to set, clear, toggle or have no action at the output.
The value of PWM pin output can be read for status or simply configured as General Purpose I/O for reading the
value of the input at the pin.
9.3.8.3 Watchdog Timer
A watchdog timer is provided on the device for ensuring proper firmware loop execution. The timer is clocked off
of a separate low speed oscillator source. If the timer is allowed to expire, a reset condition is issued to the ARM
processor. The watchdog is reset by a simple CPU write bit to the watchdog key register by the firmware routine.
On device power-up the watchdog is disabled. Yet after it is enabled, the watchdog cannot be disabled by
firmware. Only a device reset can put this bit back to the default disabled state. A half timer flag is also provided
for status monitoring of the watchdog.
9.3.9 General Purpose ADC12
The ADC12 is a 12 bit, high speed analog to digital converter, equipped with the following options:
Typical conversion speed of 267 ksps
Conversions can consist from 1 to 16 ADC channel conversions in any desired sequence
Post conversion averaging capability, ranging from 4X, 8X, 16X or 32X samples
Configurable triggering for ADC conversions from the following sources: firmware, DPWM rising edge,
ADC_EXT_TRIG pin or Analog Comparator results
Interrupt capability to embedded processor at completion of ADC conversion
Six digital comparators on the first 6 channels of the conversion sequence using either raw ADC data or
averaged ADC data
Two 10 µA current sources for excitation of PMBus addressing resistors
Dual sample and hold for accurate power measurement
Internal temperature sensor for temperature protection and monitoring
The control module (ADC12 Contol Block Diagram) contains the control and conversion logic for auto-
sequencing a series of conversions. The sequencing is fully configurable for any combination of 16 possible ADC
channels through an analog multiplexer embedded in the ADC12 block. Once converted, the selected channel
value is stored in the result register associated with the sequence number. Input channels can be sampled in any
desired order or programmed to repeat conversions on the same channel multiple times during a conversion
sequence. Selected channel conversions are also stored in the result registers in order of conversion, where the
result 0 register is the first conversion of a 16-channel sequence and result 15 register is the last conversion of a
16-channel sequence. The number of channels converted in a sequence can vary from 1 to 16.
Unlike EADC0 through EADC2, which are primarily designed for closing high speed compensation loops, the
ADC12 is not usually used for loop compensation purposes. The EADC converters have a substantially faster
conversion rate, thus making them more attractive for closed loop control. The ADC12 features make it best
suited for monitoring and detection of currents, voltages, temperatures and faults. Please see the Typical
Characteristics plots for the temperature variation associated with this function.

Figure 26. ADC12 Control Block Diagram
9.3.10 Miscellaneous Analog
The Miscellaneous Analog Control (MAC) Registers are a catch-all of registers that control and monitor a wide
variety of functions. These functions include device supervisory features such as Brown-Out and power saving
configuration, general purpose input/output configuration and interfacing, internal temperature sensor control and
current sharing control.
The MAC module also provides trim signals to the oscillator and AFE blocks. These controls are usually used at
the time of trimming at manufacturing; therefore this document will not cover these trim controls.
9.3.11 Brownout
Brownout function is used to determine if the device supply voltage is lower than a threshold voltage, a condition
that may be considered unsafe for proper operation of the device.
The brownout threshold is higher than the reset threshold voltage; therefore, when the supply voltage is lower
than brownout threshold, it still does not necessarily trigger a device reset.
The brownout interrupt flag can be polled or alternatively can trigger an interrupt to service such case by an
interrupt service routine. Please see the Power On Reset (POR) / Brown Out Reset (BOR) section.
9.3.12 Global I/O
Up to 32 pins in UCD3138x can be configured in the Global I/O register to serve as a general purpose input or
output pins (GPIO). This includes all digital input or output pins except for the RESET pin.
The pins that cannot be configured as GPIO pins are the supply pins, ground pins, ADC-12 analog input pins,
EADC analog input pins and the RESET pin. Additional digital pins not listed in this register can be configured
through their local configuration registers.
There are two ways to configure and use the digital pins as GPIO pins:
1. Through the centralized Global I/O control registers.
2. Through the distributed control registers in the specific peripheral that shares it pins with the standard GPIO
functionality.

The Global I/O registers offer full control of:
1. Configuring each pin as a GPIO.
2. Setting each pin as input or output.
3. Reading the pins logic state, if it is configured as an input pin.
4. Setting the logic state of the pin, if it is configured as an output pin.
5. Connecting pin/pins to high rail through internal push/pull drivers or external pull up resistors.
The Global I/O registers include Global I/O EN register, Global I/O OE Register, Global I/O Open Drain Control

9.3.13 Temperature Sensor Control
Temperature sensor control register provides internal temperature sensor enabling and trimming capabilities. The
internal temperature sensor is disabled by default.
Figure 27. Internal Temp Sensor
Temperature sensor is calibrated at room temperature (25 °C) via a calibration register value.
The temperature sensor is measured using ADC12 (via Ch15). The temperature is then calculated using a
mathematical formula involving the calibration register (this effectively adds a delta to the ADC measurement).
The temperature sensor can be enabled or disabled.
9.3.14 I/O Mux Control
I/O Mux Control register may be used in order to choose a single specific functionality that is desired to be
assigned to a physical device pin for your application. See the UCD3138x programmer's manual for details on
the available configurations.
9.3.15 Current Sharing Control
UCD3138x provides three separate modes of current sharing operation.
Analog bus current sharing
PWM bus current sharing
Master/Slave current sharing
AD02 has a special ESD protection mechanism that prevents the pin from pulling down the current-share bus
if power is missing from the UCD3138x
The simplified current sharing circuitry is shown in the drawing below. The digital pulse connected to SW3
transforms SW3 into a pulse-width-modulated current source. Details on the frequency and resolution of this
feature are in the digital power fusion peripherals manual.

9.3.16 Temperature Reference
The temperature reference register (TEMPREF) provides the ADC12 count when ADC12 measures the internal
temperature sensor (channel 15) during the factory trim and calibration.
This information can be used by different periodic temperature compensation routines implemented in the
firmware. But it should not be overwritten by firmware, otherwise this factory written value will be lost until the
device is reset.

9.4 Device Functional Modes
9.4.1 DPWM Modes Of Operation
The DPWM is a complex logic system which is highly configurable to support several different power supply
topologies. The discussion below will focus primarily on waveforms, timing and register settings, rather than on
logic design.
The DPWM is centered on a period counter, which counts up from 0 to PRD, and then is reset and starts over
again.
The DPWM logic causes transitions in many digital signals when the period counter hits the target value for that
signal.
9.4.1.1 Normal Mode
In Normal mode, the Filter output determines the pulse width on DPWM A. DPWM B fits into the rest of the
switching period, with a dead time separating it from the DPWM A on-time. It is useful for buck topologies,
among others. Here is a drawing of the Normal Mode waveforms:

Cycle adjust A can be used to adjust pulse widths on individual phases of a multi-phase system. This can be
used for functions like current balancing. The Adaptive Sample Triggers can be used to sample in the middle of
the on-time (for an average output), or at the end of the on-time (to minimize phase delay) The Adaptive Sample
Register provides an offset from the center of the on-time. This can compensate for external delays, such as
MOSFET and gate driver turn on times.
Blanking A-Begin and Blanking A-End can be used to blank out noise from the MOSFET turn on at the beginning
of the period (DPWMA rising edge). Blanking B could be used at the turn off time of DPWMB. The other edges
are dynamic, so blanking is more difficult.

Cycle Adjust B has no effect in Normal Mode.
9.4.1.2 Phase Shifting
In most modes, it is possible to synchronize multiple DPWM modules using the phase shift signal. The phase
shift signal has two possible sources. It can come from the Phase Trigger Register. This provides a fixed value,
which is useful for an application like interleaved PFC.
The phase shift value can also come from the filter output. In this case, the changes in the filter output causes
changes in the phase relationship of two DPWM modules. This is useful for phase shifted full bridge topologies.
The following figure shows the mechanism of phase shift:

9.4.1.3 DPWM Multiple Output Mode
Multi mode is used for systems where each phase has only one driver signal. It enables each DPWM peripheral
to drive two phases with the same pulse width, but with a time offset between the phases, and with different
cycle adjusts for each phase.
The Multi-Mode diagram is shown in Figure 31.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
Event 2 and Event 4 are not relevant in Multi mode.
DPWMB can cross over the period boundary safely, and still have the proper pulse width, so full 100% pulse
width operation is possible. DPWMA cannot cross over the period boundary.
Since the rising edge on DPWM B is also fixed, Blanking B-Begin and Blanking B-End can be used for blanking
this rising edge.
And, of course, Cycle Adjust B is usable on DPWM B.
9.4.1.4 DPWM Resonant Mode
This mode provides a symmetrical waveform where DPWMA and DPWMB have the same pulse width. As the
switching frequency changes, the dead times between the pulses remain the same.
The equations for this mode are designed for a smooth transition from PWM mode to resonant mode, as
described in the LLC Example section. Here is a diagram of this mode:

Device Functional Modes (continued)
The Filter has two outputs, Filter Duty and Filter Period. In this case, the Filter is configured so that the Filter
Period is twice the Filter Duty. So if there were no dead times, each DPWM pin would be on for half of the
period. For dead time handling, the average of the two dead times is subtracted from the Filter Duty for both
DPWM pins. Therefore, both pins will have the same on-time, and the dead times will be fixed regardless of the
period. The only edge which is fixed relative to the start of the period is the rising edge of DPWM A. This is the
only edge for which the blanking signals can be used easily.
9.4.2 Triangular Mode
Triangular mode provides a stable phase shift in interleaved PFC and similar topologies. In this case, the PWM
pulse is centered in the middle of the period, rather than starting at one end or the other. In Triangular Mode,
only DPWM-B is available. Here is a diagram for Triangular Mode:

Device Functional Modes (continued)
All edges are dynamic in triangular mode, so fixed blanking is not that useful. The adaptive sample trigger is not
needed. It is very easy to put a fixed sample trigger exactly in the center of the FET on-time, because the center
of the on-time does not move in this mode.
9.4.3 Leading Edge Mode
Leading edge mode is similar to Normal mode, reversed in time. The DPWM A falling edge is fixed, and the
rising edge moves to the left, or backwards in time, as the filter output increases. The DPWM B falling edge
stays ahead of the DPWMA rising edge by a fixed dead time. Here is a diagram of the Leading Edge Mode:

The device incorporates a 8 kB boot ROM. This boot ROM includes support for:

Device initialization
Examining and modifying registers and memory
Verifying and executing program flash automatically
Jumping to a customer defined boot program
Checksum evaluation to support using the program flash as a single 64 kB block or as 2-32 kB blocks.
The Boot ROM is entered automatically on device reset. It initializes the device and then performs checksums on
the program flash. If the first 2 kB of program FLASH 0 has a valid checksum, the program branches to location
0 in Program FLASH 0. This permits the use of a custom boot program. If the first checksum fails, it performs
some additional checksum calculations to determine where the valid program is located. This permits full
automated program memory checking, when there is no need for a custom boot program. The complete decision
tree is located in Figure 35. Additionally, the part can support two separate programs in block 0 and block 1
through a custom boot-flash routine.

If none of the checksums are valid, the Boot ROM stays in control, and accepts commands via the PMBus
interface. These functions can be used to read and write to all memory locations in the device. Typically they are
at address 11 and are used to download a program to Program Flash, and to command its execution.
9.5.3 Customer Boot Program
As described above, it is possible to generate a user boot program using 2 kB or more of the Program Flash.
This can support things which the Boot ROM does not support, including:
Program download via UART useful especially for applications where the UCD3138A64 or UCD3138128 is
isolated from the host (e.g., PFC)
Encrypted download useful for code security in field updates.
PMBus download at different addresses
Different command formats
9.5.4 Flash Management
The device offers a variety of features providing for easy prototyping and easy flash programming. At the same
time, high levels of security are possible for production code, even with field updates. Standard firmware will be
provided for storing multiple copies of system parameters in data flash. This minimizes the risk of losing
information if data-flash programming is interrupted.

9.6 Synchronous Rectifier MOSFET Ramp And IDE Calculation
The device has built in logic for optimizing the performance of the synchronous rectifier MOSFETs. This comes in
two forms:
Synchronous Rectifier MOSFET ramp for softly turning on and off the MOSFETs
Ideal Diode Emulation (IDE) calculation
When starting up a power supply, It is not uncommon for there to already be a voltage present on the output
this is called pre-bias. It can be very difficult to calculate the ideal synchronous rectifier MOSFET on-time for this
case. If it is not calculated correctly, it may pull down the pre-bias voltage, causing the power supply to sink
current. To avoid this, the synchronous rectifier MOSFETs are not turned on until after the power supply has
ramped up to the nominal output voltage. The synchronous rectifier MOSFETs are then turned on slowly in order
to avoid an output voltage glitch. The synchronous rectifier MOSFET ramp logic can be used to turn them on at a
rate well below the bandwidth of the filter.
In discontinuous mode, the ideal on-time for the synchronous rectifier MOSFETs is a function of Vin, Vout, and the
primary side duty cycle (D). The IDE logic in the UCD3138x takes Vin and Vout data from the firmware and
combines it with D data from the filter hardware. It uses this information to calculate the ideal on-time for the
synchronous rectifier MOSFETs.

Since these signals are really being used as events in the timer, the #defines are called EV5 and EV6. Here are
the statements which initialize them:
// Setup waveform for DPWM-C (re-using blanking B regs)
Dpwm2Regs.DPWMBLKBBEG.all = PWM2_EV5 + (4 *16);
Dpwm2Regs.DPWMBLKBEND.all = PWM2_EV6;
Figure 41. Blank B Timing Information
The statements for DPWM1 are the same. Remember that DPWMC reuses the Blank B registers for timing
information.
10.2.2.5 Dynamic Signals to Bridge
DPWM0 and 1 are set at normal mode. PCMC triggering signal (fault) chops DPWM0A and 1A cycle by cycle.
The corresponding DPWM0B and 1B are used for synchronous rectifier MOSFET control. The same PCMC
triggering signal is applied to DPWM2 and DPWM3. Both of these are set to normal mode as well. DPWM2 and
3 are chopped and their edges are used to generate the next two dynamic signals to the bridge. They are
generated using the Edge Generator Module in DPWM2. The Edge Generator sources are DPWM2 and
DPWM3. The edges used are:
DPWM2A turned on by a rising edge on DPWM2BF
DPWM2A turned off by a falling edge on DPWM3AF
DPWM2B turned on by a rising edge on DPWM3BF
DPWM2B turned off by a falling edge on DPWM2AF

Figure 43. Final 6 Gate Signals
Note how the falling edge of DPWM2AF aligns with the X1 edge, and how the rising edge of DPWM2BF aligns
with the X3 edge. The falling edges on DPWM2AF and DPWM3AF are caused by the peak detection logic. This
is fed through the Cycle By Cycle logic. The Cycle By Cycle logic also has a special feature to control the rising
edges of DPWM2BF (X1 and X3) and DPWM3BF (Y1 and Y3). It uses the value of Event3 Event2 to control
the time between the edges. The same feature is used with DPWM0 and DPWM1 to control the X2 and Y2
signals. Using the other 2 DPWMs permits these signals to have a different dead time.
The same setup can be used for voltage mode control. In this case, the Filter output sets the timing of the falling
edge on DPWMxAF.
All DPWMs are configured in Normal mode, with CBC enabled. If external slope compensation is used,
DPWM1A and DPWM1B are used to reset the external compensator at the beginning of each half cycle. If no
PCMC event occurs, the values of Events 2 and 3 determine the locations of the edges, just as in open loop
mode.
10.2.3 System Initialization for PCM
PCM (Peak Current Mode) is a specialized configuration for the UCD3138x which involves several peripherals.
This section describes how it works across the peripherals.
10.2.3.1 Use of Front Ends and Filters in PSFB
All three front ends are used in PSFB. The same signals are used in the same places for both PCMC and
voltage mode. The same hardware can be used for both control modes, with the mode determined by which
firmware is loaded into the device. FE0 and FE1 are used with their associated filters, but Filter 2 is not used at
all. FE0 Vout voltage loop
FE1 Iout current loop
FE2 Ipri PCM
In PCMC mode, FE2 is used for PCMC, and the voltage loop is normally used to provide the start point for the
compensation ramp. If the CPCC firmware detects a need for constant current mode, it switches to the current
loop for the start point.

10.2.3.2 Peak Current Detection
Peak current detection involves all the major modules of the DPPs, the Front End, Filter, Loop Mux, Fault Mux
and the DPWMs. A drawing of the major elements is shown in Figure 44.
Figure 44. Peak Current Detection Function
All signals without arrows flow from left to right. The voltage loop is used to select a peak current level. This level
is fed to the Ramp module to generate a compensation ramp. The compensation ramp is compared to the
primary current by the PCMC comparator in the Front End. When the ramp value is greater than the primary
current, the APCMC signal is sent to the DPWM, causing the events described in the previous sections.
The DPWM frame start and output pin signals can be used to trigger the Ramp Module. In this case, unlike in the
case of other ramp module functions, each DPWM frame triggers the start of the ramp. The ramp steps every 32
ns.
The Filter is configured normally, there is no real difference for PCMC. The PCM_FILTER_SEL bits in the
LoopMux.PCMCTRL register are used to select which filter is connected to the ramp module:
LoopMuxRegs.PCMCTRL.bit.PCM_FILTER_SEL =0; //select filter0
With Firmware Constant Power/Constant current, Filter 1 and Front End 1 are used as a current control loop,
with the EADCDAC set to high current. If the voltage loop value becomes higher than the current loop value,
then Filter 1 is used to control the PCM ramp start value:
LoopMuxRegs.PCMCTRL.bit.PCM_FILTER_SEL =1;
SPACE//select filter1 for slope compensation source
In the ramp module, there are 2 bitfields in the RAMPCTRL register which must be configured. The
PCM_START_SEL must be set to a 1 to enable the Filter to be used as a ramp start source. The RAMP_EN bit
must be set, of course.
The DAC_STEP register sets the slope of the compensation ramp. The DAC value is in volts, of course, so it is
necessary to calculate the slope after the current to voltage conversion. Here is the formula for converting from
millivolts per microsecond to DACSTEP.
m = compensation slope in millivolts per microsecond
ACSTEP = 335.5 × M
In C, this can be written:
#define COMPENSATION_SLOPE 150 //compensation slope in millivolts per microsecond
#define DACSTEP_COMP_VALUE ((int) (COMPENSATION_SLOPE*335.5) )
SPACE//value in DACSTEP for desired compensation slope
SPACEFeCtrl0Regs.DACSTEP.all = DACSTEP_COMP_VALUE;
It may also be necessary to set a ramp ending value in the RAMPDACEND register.

In addition, it is necessary to set the D2S_COMP_EN bit in the EADCCTRL register. This is for enabling the
differential to single ended comparator function. The front end diagram leaves it out for simplicity, but the
connection between the DAC and the EADC amplifier is actually differential. The PCMC comparator, however, is
single ended. So a conversion is necessary as shown in Figure 45.
Figure 45. Differential to Single-Ended Comparator Function
The EADC_MODE bit in EADCCTRL should be set to a 5 for peak current mode.
The peak current detection signal next goes to the Loop Mux. The Fault Mux has only 1 APCM input, but there
are 3 front ends. So the PCM_FE_SEL bits in APCMCTRL must be used to select which front end is used:
LoopMuxRegs.APCMCTRL.bit.PCM_FE_SEL = 2; // use FE2 for PCM */
The PCM_EN bit must also be set.
LoopMuxRegs.APCMCTRL.bit.PCM_EN = 1; // Enable PCM
Next the Fault Mux is used to enable the APCM bit to the CLIM/CBC signal to the DPWM. There are 4
DPWMxCLIM registers, one for each DPWM. The ANALOG_PCM_EN bit must be set in each one to connect the
PCM detection signal to the CLIM/CBC signal on each DPWM. For the latest configuration information on all of
these bits, consult the appropriate EVM firmware. To avoid errors, it is best to configure your hardware design
using the same DPWMs, filters, and front ends for the same functions as the EVM.
DPWM timing is used to trigger the start of the ramp. This is selected by the FECTRLxMUX registers in the Loop
Mux. DPWMx_FRAME_SYNC_EN bits, when set, cause the ramp to be triggered at the start of the DPWM
period.
10.2.3.3 Peak Current Mode (PCM)
There is one peak current mode control module in the device however any front end can be configured to use
this module.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
Both 3.3 VD and 3.3 VA should have a local 4.7 µF capacitor placed as close as possible to the device pins
BP18 should have a 1 µF capacitor.
12 Layout
12.1 Device Grounding and Layout Guidelines
Single ground is recommended: SGND. A multilayer such as 4 layers board is recommended so that one
solid SGND is dedicated for return current path, referred to the layout example.
Apply multiple different capacitors for different frequency range on decoupling circuits. Each capacitor has
different ESL, Capacitance and ESR, and they have different frequency response.
Avoid long traces close to radiation components, and place them into an internal layer, and it is preferred to
have grounding shield.
Analog circuits and digital circuits should have separate return to ground; although with a single plane, still try
to avoid mixing analog current and digital current.
Do not use a ferrite bead or larger than 3-Ωresistor to connect between V33A and V33D.
Both 3.3VD and 3.3VA should have local decoupling capacitors close to the device power pins, add vias to
connect decoupling caps directly to SGND.
Avoid negative current/negative voltage on all pins, so Schottky clamping diodes may be needed to limit the
voltage; avoid more than 3.8 V or less than –0.3 V voltage spikes on all pins; add Schottky diodes on the pins
which could have voltage spikes during surge test; be aware that a Schottky has relatively higher leakage
current, which can affect the voltage sensing at high temperature.
If V33 slew rate is less than 2.5 V/ms the RESET pin should have a 2.21-kresistor between the reset pin
and V33D and a 2.2-µF capacitor from RESET to ground. For more details please refer to the UCD3138
Family - Practical Design Guideline. This capacitor must be located close to the device RESET pin.
RSVD (Pin 61) should be connected to BP18 through 1-kΩresistor.
Configure unused GPIO pins to be inputs or connect them to the ground (DGND or SGND); when an external
pull-up resistor is used for GPIO, the pull-up resistor needs to be 1 kΩor higher.
For more details please refer to the UCD3138 Family - Practical Design Guideline.

(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.

accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
