PRODUCTION DATA
A feedback-loop adjustment current IADJ, proportional to the error voltage VEAO on pin 6, is sunk by the ADJ pin. This current flows through the parallel combination of the module's remote-sense resistor RSENSE and the adjust resistor, RADJ. The effect of IADJ is to increase the output voltage of the module influenced by the UCC29002 device. The amplitude of IADJ is set by the 500Ω internal resistor between the emitter of the amplifier's open-collector output transistor and ground shown in the Functional Block Diagram. Use Equation 2 to calculate the magnitude of IADJ. Maximum IADJ occurs at maximum VEAO.
At the leader module, VEAO is 0V and consequently the adjust current must be zero as well. Therefore, the output voltage of the leader module remains at its initial output voltage set point at all times.
During the start-up mode of the UCC29002, the noninverting input of the Adjust amplifier is switched to 3V to increase the module's output voltage significantly and quickly match the starting module's output current to the other modules' currents.
In cases of insufficient VDD bias level, LS bus fault, or disabled UCC29002 (by CS+, CS- inputs), the noninverting input of the Adjust amplifier is switched to ground to prevent erroneous adjustment of the module's output voltage by the load-share controller.
