SLUSD77C August 2020 – January 2024 UCC21732
PRODUCTION DATA
The isolated analog signal sensing feature provides a simple isolated channel for the isolated temperature detection, voltage sensing and etc. One typical application of this function is the temperature monitor of the power semiconductor. Thermal diodes or temperature sensing resistors are integrated in the SiC MOSFET or IGBT module close to the dies to monitor the junction temperature. UCC21732 has an internal 200-μA current source with 3% accuracy across temperature, which can forward bias the thermal diodes or create a voltage drop on the temperature sensing resistors. The sensed voltage from the AIN pin is passed through the isolation barrier to the input side and transformed to a PWM signal. The duty cycle of the PWM changes linearly from 10% to 88% when the AIN voltage changes from 4.5 V to 0.6 V and can be represented using Equation 13.
