FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
Low Cost Gate Driver (offering optimal
solution for driving FET and IGBTs)
The UCC27531 is a single-channel, high-speed, gate
driver capable of effectively driving MOSFET and
IGBT power switches by up to 2.5-A source and 5-A
sink (asymmetrical drive) peak current. Strong sink
capability in asymmetrical drive boosts immunity
against parasitic Miller turn-on effect. The UCC27531
•
Superior Replacement to Discrete Transistor
Pair Drive (providing easy interface with
controller)
•
•
TTL and CMOS Compatible Input Logic
Threshold, (independent of supply voltage)
device also features
a split-output configuration
where the gate-drive current is sourced through
OUTH pin and sunk through OUTL pin. This pin
arrangement allows the user to apply independent
turn-on and turn-off resistors to the OUTH and OUTL
pins respectively and easily control the switching slew
rates.
Split Outputs Allow Separate Turn-On and
Turn-Off Tuning
•
•
Enable with Fixed TTL Compatible Threshold
High 2.5-A Source and 5-A Sink Peak Drive
Currents at 18-V VDD
The driver has rail-to-rail drive capability and
extremely small propagation delay typically 17 ns.
•
•
Wide VDD Range From 10 V up to 35 V
Input Pins Capable of Withstanding up to -5-V
DC Below Ground
The input threshold of UCC27531DBV is based on
TTL and CMOS compatible low-voltage logic, which
is fixed and independent of VDD supply voltage. The
1-V typical hysteresis offers excellent noise immunity.
•
Output Held Low When Inputs are Floating or
During VDD UVLO
•
•
Fast Propagation Delays (17-ns typical)
The driver has EN pin with fixed TTL compatible
threshold. EN is internally pulled up; pulling EN low
disables driver, while leaving it open provides normal
operation. The EN pin can be used as an additional
input with the same performance as the IN pin.
Fast Rise and Fall Times
(15-ns and 7-ns typical with 1800-pF Load)
•
•
Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Used as a High-Side or Low-Side Driver (if
designed with proper bias and signal isolation)
Leaving the input pin of driver open holds the output
low. The logic behavior of the driver is shown in the
application diagram, timing diagram and input and
output logic truth table.
•
•
Low Cost, Space Saving 6-Pin DBV (SOT-23)
Package
Operating Temperature Range of -40°C to
140°C
Internal circuitry on VDD pin provides an under
voltage lockout function that holds output low until
VDD supply voltage is within operating range.
