SLUSEW3 October 2023 UCC27332-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The UCC27332-Q1 deviceis a single-channel, high-speed, gate drivers capable of effectively driving MOSFET, and GaN power switches with 9-A source and 9-A sink (symmetrical drive) peak current. A strong source and sink capability boost immunity against a parasitic Miller turnon effect. The UCC27332-Q1 device can be directly connected to the gate driver transformer or line driver transformer as the inputs of UCC27332-Q1 can handle –5V. The driver has a good transient handling capability on its output due to reverse currents, as well as rail-to-rail drive capability and small propagation delay, typically 23 ns.
The input threshold of UCC27332-Q1 is compatible to TTL low-voltage logic, which is fixed and independent of VDD supply voltage. The driver can also work with CMOS based controllers as long as the threshold requirement is met. The 1-V typical hysteresis offers excellent noise immunity.
The driver has an EN pin with fixed TTL compatible threshold. EN is internally pulled up; pulling EN low disables the driver, while leaving EN open provides normal operation. The EN pin can be used as an additional input with similar performance as the IN pin.
FEATURE | BENEFIT |
---|---|
–5 V IN and EN capability | Enhanced signal reliability and device robustness in noisy environments that experience ground bounce on the gate driver. |
High source and sink current capability 9 A | High current capability helps drive large gate charge loads to minimize switching losses. |
