PRODUCTION DATA
For half bridge or full-bridge converter, where more than one DPWM modules are used to drive multiple pairs of MOSFETs, synchronization between DPWM modules is required. The synchronization can be achieved by using Master-Slave mode. A slaved DPWM can be synchronized with other Master DPWM or Slave DPWM. Without synchronization, the DPWM could go out of synchronization at large currents which can cause catastrophic damage.
Please note: For UCD3138ARMH and UCD3138ARJA, if the system use case is below -30C, DPWM fixed edge alignment should be avoided and at least a 4ns gap should be configured.
