The UCC21710-Q1 is a galvanic isolated single channel gate driver designed for up to 1700-V SiC MOSFETs and IGBTs with advanced protection features, best-in-class dynamic performance and robustness. UCC21710-Q1 has up to ±10A peak source and sink current.
The input side is isolated from the output side with SiO2 capacitive isolation technology, supporting up to 1.5kVRMS working voltage, 12.8kVPK surge immunity with longer than 40 years Isolation barrier life, as well as providing low part-to-part skew , and >150V/ns common mode noise immunity (CMTI).
The UCC21710-Q1 includes the state-of-the-art protection features, such as fast overcurrent and short circuit detection, shunt current sensing support, fault reporting, active Miller clamp, and input and output side power supply UVLO to optimize SiC and IGBT switching behavior and robustness. The isolated analog to PWM sensor can be used for easier temperature or voltage sensing, further increasing the drivers' versatility and simplifying the system design effort, size and cost.

---|---|---|---|
NAME | NO. | ||
AIN | 1 | I | Isolated analog sensing input, parallel a small capacitor to COM for better noise immunity. Tie to COM if unused. |
OC | 2 | I | Over current detection pin, support lower threshold for SenseFET, DESAT, and shunt resistor sensing. Tie to COM if unused. |
COM | 3 | P | Common ground reference, connecting to emitter pin for IGBT and source pin for SiC-MOSFET |
OUTH | 4 | O | Gate driver output pull up |
VDD | 5 | P | Positive supply rail for gate drive voltage. Bypass with a >10-μF capacitor to COM to support specified gate driver source peak current capability. Place decoupling capacitor close to the pin. |
OUTL | 6 | O | Gate driver output pull down |
CLMPI | 7 | I | Internal Active miller clamp, connecting this pin directly to the gate of the power transistor. Leave floating or tie to VEE if unused. |
VEE | 8 | P | Negative supply rail for gate drive voltage. Bypass with a >10-μF capacitor to COM to support specified gate driver sink peak current capability. Place decoupling capacitor close to the pin. |
GND | 9 | P | Input power supply and logic ground reference |
IN+ | 10 | I | Non-inverting gate driver control input. Tie to VCC if unused. |
IN– | 11 | I | Inverting gate driver control input. Tie to GND if unused. |
RDY | 12 | O | Power good for VCC-GND and VDD-COM. RDY is open drain configuration and can be paralleled with other RDY signals |
FLT | 13 | O | Active low fault alarm output upon over current or short circuit. FLT is in open drain configuration and can be paralleled with other faults |
RST/EN | 14 | I | The RST/EN serves two purposes: 1) Enable / shutdown of the output side. The FET is turned off by a regular turn-off, if terminal EN is set to low; 2) Resets the DESAT condition signaled on FLT pin. if terminal RST/EN is set to low for more than 1000ns. A reset of signal FLT is asserted at the rising edge of terminal RST/EN. For automatic RESET function, this pin only serves as an EN pin. Enable / shutdown of the output side. The FET is turned off by a general turn-off, if terminal EN is set to low. |
VCC | 15 | P | Input power supply from 3V to 5.5V. Bypass with a >1-μF capacitor to GND. Place decoupling capacitor close to the pin. |
APWM | 16 | O | Isolated Analog Sensing PWM output. Leave floating if unused. |
