What are the key features of UCC3957M-1?
- Selectable 3 or 4-cell Li-Ion battery protection with fixed overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds, eliminating external threshold-setting components
- Integrated overcurrent protection circuit detects short-circuit and overcurrent events, disconnecting the battery pack to prevent cell damage and fire hazards
- 4-channel cell monitoring in a compact 16-pin SSOP package, enabling multi-cell Li-Ion pack protection in space-constrained battery management designs
- Fixed threshold architecture (non-adjustable) ensures consistent protection levels across production units without calibration or external resistor networks
What is UCC3957M-1 used for?
The UCC3957M-1 is designed for protecting multi-cell lithium-ion battery packs used in laptops, power tools, medical devices, and industrial handheld equipment where 3 or 4 series-connected Li-Ion cells require overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent protection. It is also used in rechargeable battery pack designs for portable consumer electronics and electric vehicles requiring compact, cost-effective cell-level safety circuitry. The device integrates seamlessly with external FET switches to form a complete battery protection solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What protection functions does the UCC3957M-1 provide for Li-Ion battery packs?
The UCC3957M-1 provides overvoltage protection (prevents cell overcharge), undervoltage protection (prevents deep discharge), and overcurrent protection (disconnects the pack on short-circuit or excessive load current). These three functions together protect Li-Ion cells from the most common failure modes that can lead to degradation, thermal runaway, or fire.
Does the UCC3957M-1 support 3-cell or 4-cell battery configurations?
Yes, the UCC3957M-1 supports selectable 3-cell or 4-cell Li-Ion configurations. A configuration pin allows the designer to choose between the two options, making the device flexible for different battery pack designs without requiring separate ICs for 3S and 4S packs.
Are the protection thresholds in the UCC3957M-1 adjustable?
No, the UCC3957M-1 has fixed (non-adjustable) protection thresholds. While this means the designer cannot fine-tune the trip points, fixed thresholds ensure consistent protection across all units without the need for external calibration resistors or individual unit programming, simplifying manufacturing.
What package does the UCC3957M-1 use and what are its physical characteristics?
The UCC3957M-1 is housed in a 16-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with a plastic/epoxy body (JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G16). The SSOP package is smaller than standard SOIC, making it suitable for compact battery pack PCBs. Note: This device is not Pb-free (JESD-609 e4 indicates standard solder).
What are typical applications for the UCC3957M-1?
Typical applications include multi-cell Li-Ion battery protection in laptop battery packs, power tool batteries, medical portable devices, industrial handheld instruments, and any rechargeable battery pack design using 3 or 4 series-connected Li-Ion cells that requires integrated cell-level overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent safety protection.
