DESCRIPTION
The UCC27611 is a single-channel, high-speed, gate
driver optimized for 5-V drive, specifically addressing
enhancement mode GaN FETs. The drive voltage
VREF is precisely controlled by internal linear
regulator to 5 V. The UCC27611 offers asymmetrical
rail-to-rail peak current drive capability with 4-A
source and 6-A sink. Split output configuration allows
individual turn-on and off time optimization depending
on FET. Package and pinout with minimum parasitic
inductances reduce the rise and fall time and limit the
ringing. Additionally, the short propagation delay with
minimized tolerances and variations allows efficient
operation at high frequencies. The 2-Ω and 0.3-Ω
pull-up and pull-down resistance boosts immunity to
hard switching with high slew rate dV and dt.
Split Output Configuration (allows turn-on and
off optimization for individual FETs)
•
•
Fast Propagation Delays (14-ns typical)
Fast Rise and Fall Times (9-ns and 4-ns
typical)
•
•
TTL and CMOS Compatible Inputs
(independent of supply voltage allow easy
interface to digital and analog controllers)
Dual Input Design offering Drive Flexibility
(both inverting and non-inverting
configurations)
•

•
Output Held Low when Inputs are Floating
VDD Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The independence from VDD input signal thresholds
ensure TTL and CMOS low-voltage logic
compatibility. For safety reason when the input pins
are in a floating condition, the internal input pull-up
and down resistors hold the output LOW. Internal
circuitry on VREF pin provides an under voltage
lockout function that holds output LOW until VREF
supply voltage is within operating range. UCC27611
is offered in a small 2 mm x 2 mm WSON-6 package
(DRV) with exposed thermal and ground pad which
improves the package power handling capability. The
UCC27611 operates over wide temperature range
from -40°C to 140°C.
