The external gate-driver resistors, RG(ON) and RG(OFF) are used to:
The output stage has a pull-up structure consisting of a P-channel MOSFET and an N-channel MOSFET in parallel. The combined peak source current is 4.3 A for the UCC5320 family and 17 A for the UCC5390 family and 17 A for the UCC5390 family. Use Equation 1 to estimate the peak source current using the UCC5320S as an example.
where
In this example, the peak source current is approximately 1.8 A as calculated in Equation 2.
Similarly, use Equation 3 to calculate the peak sink current.
where
In this example, the peak sink current is the minimum value between Equation 4 and 4.4 A.
The estimated peak current is also influenced by PCB layout and load capacitance. Parasitic inductance in the gate-driver loop can slow down the peak gate-drive current and introduce overshoot and undershoot. Therefore, TI strongly recommends that the gate-driver loop should be minimized. Conversely, the peak source and sink current is dominated by loop parasitics when the load capacitance (CISS) of the power transistor is very small (typically less than 1 nF) because the rising and falling time is too small and close to the parasitic ringing period.
