7.5 Programmable Dead Time

UCC21542/A internally ties the deadtime circuit to VCCI, leaving pin 6 as not internally connected. This device always allows both outputs to overlap.

For UCC21540/A and UCC21541, tying DT to VCCI disables DT feature and allows the outputs to overlap. Placing a resistor (RDT) between DT and GND adjusts dead time according to the equation: DT (in ns) = 10 × RDT (in kΩ). TI recommends bypassing this pin with a ceramic capacitor, ≤1nF, close to DT pin to achieve better noise immunity. For more details on dead time, refer to Section 8.4.2.
