6.1 Overview

The UCC27212A-Q1 device is designed to drive both the high-side and low-side of N-Channel MOSFETs in a half- and full-bridge or synchronous-buck configuration. The floating high-side driver can operate with supply voltages of up to 120V, which allows for N-Channel MOSFET control in half-bridge, full-bridge, push-pull, two-switch forward, and active clamp forward converters.

The UCC27212A-Q1 device feature 3.7A source and 4.5A sink capability, industry best-in-class switching characteristics and a host of other features listed in Table 6-1. These features combine to ensure efficient, robust and reliable operation in high-frequency switching power circuits.

Table 6-1 UCC27212A-Q1 Highlights
FEATUREBENEFIT
3.7A source and 4.5A sink current High peak current ideal for driving large power MOSFETs with minimal power loss (fast-drive capability at Miller plateau)
Input pins (HI and LI) can directly handle –10VDC up to 20VDCIncreased robustness and ability to handle undershoot and overshoot can interface directly to gate-drive transformers without having to use rectification diodes.
120V internal boot diodeProvides voltage margin to meet telecom 100V surge requirements
Switch node (HS pin) able to handle –(24 – VDD) V maximum for 100nsAllows the high-side channel to have extra protection from inherent negative voltages caused by parasitic inductance and stray capacitance
Robust ESD circuitry to handle voltage spikesExcellent immunity to large dV/dT conditions
20ns propagation delay with 7.2ns rise time and 5.5ns fall timeBest-in-class switching characteristics and extremely low-pulse transmission distortion
4ns (typical) delay matching between channelsAvoids transformer volt-second offset in bridge
Symmetrical UVLO circuitEnsures high-side and low-side shut down at the same time
TTL optimized thresholds with increased hysteresisComplementary to analog or digital PWM controllers; increased hysteresis offers added noise immunity

In the UCC27212A-Q1 device, the high side and low side each have independent inputs that allow maximum flexibility of input control signals in the application. The boot diode for the high-side driver bias supply is internal to the UCC27212A-Q1. The UCC27212A-Q1 is the TTL or logic compatible version. The high-side driver is referenced to the switch node (HS), which is typically the source pin of the high-side MOSFET and drain pin of the low-side MOSFET. The low-side driver is referenced to VSS, which is typically ground. The UCC27212A-Q1 functions are divided into the input stages, UVLO protection, level shift, boot diode, and output driver stages.
