Section 2.3.5.1 and Section 2.3.5.2 show that the gate drivers rely on isolated bias voltages to drive the gates across the high-voltage barrier. In this architecture, there are four drivers per phase, but only three isolated domains are needed as described in Section 2.3.1.1. These domains are:
The same architecture used in Section 2.3.4.2 can generate the domains individually. However, to increase the power density of the design, the UCC1424 with integrated power supply was used. By using the following IC, this architecture decreases system complexity, cost, and size.
