7.1 Overview

The UCC27614 device is a single-channel, high-speed, gate drivers capable of effectively driving MOSFET, SiC MOSFET, and IGBT power switches with 10-A source and 10-A sink (symmetrical drive) peak current. A strong source and sink capability boost immunity against a parasitic Miller turnon effect. The UCC27614 device can be directly connected to the gate driver transformer or line driver transformer as the inputs of UCC27614 can handle –10V. 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 17.5 ns.

The input threshold of UCC27614 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 the same performance as the IN, IN+, and IN- pins.
