DESCRIPTION
The UCC27532 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 UCC27532
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.
The driver has rail-to-rail drive capability and
extremely small propagation delay typically 17 ns.
The UCC27532DBV has CMOS input threshold
centered 55% rise and 45% fall in regards of VDD at
VDD below or equal 18 V. When VDD is above 18 V,
the input threshold remains fixed at its maximum
level.
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.
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.
Internal circuitry on VDD pin provides an under
voltage lockout function that holds output low until
VDD supply voltage is within operating range.
The UCC27532 driver is offered in a 6-pin standard
SOT-23 (DBV) package. The device operates over
wide temperature range of -40°C to 140°C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
High-current gate driver devices are required in switching power applications for a variety of reasons. In order to
enable fast switching of power devices and reduce associated switching power losses, a powerful gate driver can
be employed between the PWM output of controllers or signal isolation devices and the gates of the power
semiconductor devices. Further, gate drivers are indispensable when sometimes it is just not feasible to have the
PWM controller directly drive the gates of the switching devices. The situation will be often encountered since the
PWM signal from a digital controller or signal isolation device is often a 3.3-V or 5-V logic signal which is not
capable of effectively turning on a power switch. A level shifting circuitry is needed to boost the logic-level signal
to the gate-drive voltage in order to fully turn on the power device and minimize conduction losses. Traditional
buffer drive circuits based on NPN/PNP bipolar, (or p- n-channel MOSFET), transistors in totem-pole
arrangement, being emitter follower configurations, prove inadequate for this since they lack level-shifting
capability and low-drive voltage protection. Gate drivers effectively combine both the level-shifting, buffer drive
and UVLO functions. Gate drivers also find other needs such as minimizing the effect of switching noise by
locating the high-current driver physically close to the power switch, driving gate-drive transformers and
controlling floating power device gates, reducing power dissipation and thermal stress in controllers by moving
gate charge power losses into itself.
The UCC27532 is very flexible in this role with a strong current drive capability and wide supply voltage range up
to 35 V. This allows the driver to be used in 12-V Si MOSFET applications, 20-V and -5-V (relative to Source)
SiC FET applications, 15-V and -15-V(relative to Emitter) IGBT applications and many others. As a singlechannel driver, the UCC27532 can be used as a low-side or high-side driver. To use as a low-side driver, the
switch ground is usually the system ground so it can be connected directly to the gate driver. To use as a highside driver with a floating return node however, signal isolation is needed from the controller as well as an
isolated bias to the UCC27532. Alternatively, in a high-side drive configuration the UCC27532 can be tied directly
to the controller signal and biased with a non-isolated supply. However, in this configuration the outputs of the
UCC27532 need to drive a pulse transformer which then drives the power-switch to work properly with the
floating source and emitter of the power switch. Further, having the ability to control turn-on and turn-off speeds
independently with both the OUTH and OUTL pins ensures optimum efficiency while maintaining system
reliability. These requirements coupled with the need for low propagation delays and availability in compact, lowinductance packages with good thermal capability makes gate driver devices such as the UCC27532 extremely
important components in switching power combining benefits of high-performance, low cost, component count
and board space reduction and simplified system design.

VDD Under Voltage Lockout
The UCC27532 device has internal under voltage lockout (UVLO) protection feature on the VDD pin supply
circuit blocks. To ensure acceptable power dissipation in the power switch, this UVLO prevents the operation of
the gate driver at low supply voltages. Whenever the driver is in UVLO condition (when VDD voltage less than
VON during power-up and when VDD voltage is less than VOFF during power down), this circuit holds all outputs
LOW, regardless of the status of the inputs. The UVLO is typically 8.9 V with 700-mV typical hysteresis. This
hysteresis helps prevent chatter when low VDD supply voltages have noise from the power supply and also
when there are droops in the VDD bias voltage when the system commences switching and there is a sudden
increase in IDD. The capability to operate at voltage levels such as 10 V to 32 V provides flexibility to drive Si
MOSFETs, IGBTs, and emerging SiC FETs.

Input Stage
The input pin of UCC27532 device is based on a standard CMOS compatible input threshold logic that is
dependent on the VDD supply voltage. The input threshold is approximately 55% of VDD for rise and 45% of
VDD for fall. With 18-V VDD, typical high threshold = 9.4 V and typical low threshold = 7.3 V. The 2.1-V
hysteresis offers excellent noise immunity compared to traditional TTL logic implementations, where the
hysteresis is typically less than 0.5 V. For proper operation using CMOS input, the input signal level should be at
a voltage equal to VDD. Using an input signal slightly larger than the threshold but less than VDD for CMOS
input can result in slower propagation delay from input to output for example. This device also features tight
control of the input pin threshold voltage levels which eases system design considerations and guarantees stable
operation across temperature. The very low input capacitance , typically 20 pF, on these pins reduces loading
and increases switching speed.
The device features an important safety function wherein, whenever the input pin is in a floating condition, the
output is held in the low state. This is achieved using GND pull-down resistors on the non-inverting input pin (IN
pin), as shown in the device block diagram.
The input stage of the driver should preferably be driven by a signal with a short rise or fall time. Caution must be
exercised whenever the driver is used with slowly varying input signals, especially in situations where the device
is located in a separate daughter board or PCB layout has long input connection traces:
• High dI/dt current from the driver output coupled with board layout parasitics can cause ground bounce. Since
the device features just one GND pin which may be referenced to the power ground, this may interfere with
the differential voltage between Input pins and GND and trigger an unintended change of output state.
Because of fast 17 ns propagation delay, this can ultimately result in high-frequency oscillations, which
increases power dissipation and poses risk of damage
• 2.1-V input threshold hysteresis boosts noise immunity compared to most other industry standard drivers.
If limiting the rise or fall times to the power device to reduce EMI is necessary, then an external resistance is
highly recommended between the output of the driver and the power device instead of adding delays on the input
signal. This external resistor has the additional benefit of reducing part of the gate charge related power
dissipation in the gate driver device package and transferring it into the external resistor itself.
Enable Function
The Enable (EN) pin of the UCC27532 has an internal pull-up resistor to an internal reference voltage so leaving
Enable floating turns on the driver and allows it to send output signals properly. If desired, the Enable can also
be driven by low-voltage logic to enable and disable the driver.

Output Stage
The output stage of the UCC27532 device is illustrated in Figure 24. The UCC27532 device features a unique
architecture on the output stage which delivers the highest peak source current when it is most needed during
the Miller plateau region of the power switch turn-on transition (when the power switch drain/collector voltage
experiences dV/dt). The device output stage features a hybrid pull-up structure using a parallel arrangement of
N-Channel and P-Channel MOSFET devices. By turning on the N-Channel MOSFET during a narrow instant
when the output changes state from low to high, the gate driver device is able to deliver a brief boost in the peak
sourcing current enabling fast turn on.

The ROH parameter (see Electrical Table) is a DC measurement and it is representative of the on-resistance of
the P-Channel device only, since the N-Channel device is turned-on only during output change of state from low
to high. Thus the effective resistance of the hybrid pull-up stage is much lower than what is represented by ROH
parameter. The pull-down structure is composed of a N-Channel MOSFET only. The ROL parameter (see
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS), which is also a DC measurement, is representative of true impedance of
the pull-down stage in the device. In UCC27532, the effective resistance of the hybrid pull-up structure is
approximately 3 x ROL.

The UCC27532 is capable of delivering 2.5-A source, 5-A Sink (asymmetrical drive) at VDD = 18 V. Strong sink
capability in asymmetrical drive results in a very low pull-down impedance in the driver output stage which boosts
immunity against the parasitic Miller turn-on (high slew rate dV/dt turn on) effect that is seen in both IGBT and
FET power switches .
An example of a situation where Miller turn on is a concern is synchronous rectification (SR). In SR application,
the dV/dt occurs on MOSFET drain when the MOSFET is already held in Off state by the gate driver. The current
charging the CGD Miller capacitance during this high dV/dt is shunted by the pull-down stage of the driver. If the
pull-down impedance is not low enough then a voltage spike can result in the VGS of the MOSFET, which can
result in spurious turn on. This phenomenon is illustrated in Figure 25.

(output stage mitigates Miller turn-on effect)
The driver output voltage swings between VDD and GND providing rail-to-rail operation, thanks to the MOS
output stage which delivers very low dropout. The presence of the MOSFET body diodes also offers low
impedance to switching overshoots and undershoots. This means that in many cases, external Schottky diode
clamps may be eliminated.

Power Dissipation
Power dissipation of the gate driver has two portions as shown in equation below:
PDISS = PDC + PSW
(1)
The DC portion of the power dissipation is PDC = IQ x VDD where IQ is the quiescent current for the driver. The
quiescent current is the current consumed by the device to bias all internal circuits such as input stage, reference
voltage, logic circuits, protections etc and also any current associated with switching of internal devices when the
driver output changes state (such as charging and discharging of parasitic capacitances, parasitic shootthrough). The UCC27532 features very low quiescent currents (less than 1 mA) and contains internal logic to
eliminate any shoot-through in the output driver stage. Thus the effect of the PDC on the total power dissipation
within the gate driver can be safely assumed to be negligible. In practice this is the power consumed by driver
when its output is disconnected from the gate of power switch.
The power dissipated in the gate driver package during switching (PSW) depends on the following factors:
• Gate charge required of the power device (usually a function of the drive voltage VG, which is very close to
input bias supply voltage VDD due to low VOH drop-out)
• Switching frequency
• Use of external gate resistors
When a driver device is tested with a discrete, capacitive load it is a fairly simple matter to calculate the power
that is required from the bias supply. The energy that must be transferred from the bias supply to charge the
capacitor is given by:
1
EG = CLOAD VDD2
2
where
•
CLOAD is load capacitor and VDD is bias voltage feeding the driver.
(2)
There is an equal amount of energy dissipated when the capacitor is discharged. During turn off the energy
stored in capacitor is fully dissipated in drive circuit. This leads to a total power loss during switching cycle given
by the following:
PG = CLOAD VDD2 fsw
where
•
ƒSW is the switching frequency
(3)
The switching load presented by a power FET and IGBT can be converted to an equivalent capacitance by
examining the gate charge required to switch the device. This gate charge includes the effects of the input
capacitance plus the added charge needed to swing the drain voltage of the power device as it switches between
the ON and OFF states. Most manufacturers provide specifications of typical and maximum gate charge, in nC,
to switch the device under specified conditions. Using the gate charge Qg, one can determine the power that
must be dissipated when charging a capacitor. This is done by using the equivalence, Qg = CLOADVDD, to provide
the following equation for power:
PG = CLOAD VDD2 fsw = Qg VDD fsw
(4)
This power PG is dissipated in the resistive elements of the circuit when the MOSFET and IGBT is being turned
on or off. Half of the total power is dissipated when the load capacitor is charged during turn-on, and the other
half is dissipated when the load capacitor is discharged during turn-off. When no external gate resistor is
employed between the driver and MOSFET and IGBT, this power is completely dissipated inside the driver
package. With the use of external gate drive resistors, the power dissipation is shared between the internal
resistance of driver and external gate resistor in accordance to the ratio of the resistances (more power
dissipated in the higher resistance component). Based on this simplified analysis, the driver power dissipation
during switching is calculated as follows:
æ
ö
ROFF

PSW = 0.5 ´ Qg ´ VDD ´ fsw ç

Thermal Information
The useful range of a driver is greatly affected by the drive power requirements of the load and the thermal
characteristics of the package. In order for a gate driver to be useful over a particular temperature range the
package must allow for the efficient removal of the heat produced while keeping the junction temperature within
rated limits. The thermal metrics for the driver package is summarized in the ‘Thermal Information’ section of the
datasheet. For detailed information regarding the thermal information table, please refer to Application Note from
Texas Instruments entitled “IC Package Thermal Metrics” (SPRA953A).
PCB Layout
Proper PCB layout is extremely important in a high current, fast switching circuit to provide appropriate device
operation and design robustness. The UCC27532 gate driver incorporates short propagation delays and powerful
output stages capable of delivering large current peaks with very fast rise and fall times at the gate of power
switch to facilitate voltage transitions very quickly. At higher VDD voltages, the peak current capability is even
higher (2.5-A and 5-A peak current is at VDD = 18 V). Very high di/dt can cause unacceptable ringing if the trace
lengths and impedances are not well controlled. The following circuit layout guidelines are strongly recommended
when designing with these high-speed drivers.
• Locate the driver device as close as possible to power device in order to minimize the length of high-current
traces between the driver Output pins and the gate of the power switch device.
• Locate the VDD bypass capacitors between VDD and GND as close as possible to the driver with minimal
trace length to improve the noise filtering. These capacitors support high peak current being drawn from VDD
during turn-on of power switch. The use of low inductance SMD components such as chip resistors and chip
capacitors is highly recommended.
• The turn-on and turn-off current loop paths (driver device, power switch and VDD bypass capacitor) should be
minimized as much as possible in order to keep the stray inductance to a minimum. High di/dt is established
in these loops at two instances – during turn-on and turn-off transients, which induces significant voltage
transients on the output pins of the driver device and gate of the power switch.
• Wherever possible, parallel the source and return traces of a current loop, taking advantage of flux
cancellation
• Separate power traces and signal traces, such as output and input signals.
• Star-point grounding is a good way to minimize noise coupling from one current loop to another. The GND of
the driver should be connected to the other circuit nodes such as source of power switch, ground of PWM
controller etc at one, single point. The connected paths should be as short as possible to reduce inductance
and be as wide as possible to reduce resistance.
• Use a ground plane to provide noise shielding. Fast rise and fall times at OUT may corrupt the input signals
during transition. The ground plane must not be a conduction path for any current loop. Instead the ground
plane must be connected to the star-point with one single trace to establish the ground potential. In addition
to noise shielding, the ground plane can help in power dissipation as well.
