DESCRIPTION
The UCC27223 is a high-speed synchronous
buck drivers for today’s high-efficiency,
lower-output voltage designs. Using Predictive
Gate Drivet (PGD) control technology, these
drivers reduce diode conduction and reverse
recovery losses in the synchronous rectifier
MOSFET(s).
The UCC27223 includes an enable pin that
controls the operation of both outputs. A logic
latch is also included to keep both outputs low until
the first PWM input pulse comes in. The RDS(on)
of the SR pull-down sourcing device is also
minimized for higher frequency operations.

Note: 12-V input system shown. For 5-V input only systems, see Figure 6.
This closed loop feedback system detects
body-diode conduction, and adjusts deadtime
delays to minimize the conduction time interval.
This virtually eliminates body-diode conduction
while adjusting for temperature, load- dependent
delays, and for different MOSFETs. Precise gate
timing at the nanosecond level reduces the
reverse recovery time of the synchronous rectifier
MOSFET body-diode, reducing reverse recovery
losses seen in the main (high-side) MOSFET. The
lower junction temperature in the low-side
MOSFET increases product reliability. Since the
power dissipation is minimized, a higher switching
frequency can also be used, allowing for smaller
component sizes.
The UCC27223 is offered in the thermally
enhanced 14-pin PowerPADt package with
2°C/W θjc.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
predictive gate drive technique
The Predictive Gate Drivet technology utilizes a digital feedback system to detect body-diode conduction, and
then adjusts the deadtime delays to minimize it. This system virtually eliminates the body-diode conduction time
intervals for the synchronous MOSFET, while adjusting for different MOSFETs characteristics, propagation and
load dependent delays. Maximum power stage efficiency is the end result.
Two internal feedback loops in the predictive delay controller continuously adjusts the turn on delays for the two
MOSFET gate drives G1 and G2. As shown in Figure 2, tON,G1 and tON,G2 are varied to provide minimum
body-diode conduction in the synchronous rectifier MOSFET Q2. The turn-off delay for both G1 and G2, tOFF,G1
and tOFF,G2 are fixed by propagation delays internal to the device.
The predictive delay controller is implemented using a digital control technique, and the time delays are
therefore discrete. The turn-on delays, tON, G1 and tON, G2, are changed by a single step (typically 3 ns) every
switching cycle. The minimum and maximum turn-on delays for G1 and G2 are specified in the electrical
characteristics table.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
selection of VHI series resistor R1 (dV/dt Considerations):
The series resistor R1 may be needed to slowdown the turn-on of the main forward switch to limit the dV/dt which
can inadvertently turn on the synchronous rectifier switch. In nominal 12-V input designs, a R1 value of 4-Ω to
10-Ω can be used depending on the type of MOSFET used and the high-side/low-side MOSFET ratio. In 5-V
or lower input applications however, R1 is not needed.
When the drain-source voltage of a MOSFET quickly rises, inadvertent dV/dt induced turn-on of the device is
possible. This can especially be a problem for input voltages of 12 V or greater. As Q1 rapidly turns on, the
drain-to-source voltage of Q2 rises sharply, resulting in a dV/dt voltage spike appearing on the gate signal of
Q2. If the dV/dt induced voltage spike were to exceed the given threshold voltage, the MOSFET may briefly
turn on when it should otherwise be commanded off. Obviously this undesired event would have a negative
impact on overall efficiency.
Minimizing the dV/dt effect on Q2 can be accomplished by proper MOSFET selection and careful layout
techniques. The details of how to select a MOSFET to minimize dV/dt susceptibility are outlined in SEM−1400,
Topic 2, Appendix A, Section A5. Secondly, the switch node connecting Q1, Q2 and L1 should be laid out as
tight as possible, minimizing any parasitic inductance, which might worsen the dV/dt problem.
If the dV/dt induced voltage spike is still present on the gate Q2, a 4W to 10W value of R1 is recommended to
minimize the possibility of inadvertently turning on Q2. The addition of R1 slows the turn-on of Q1, limiting the
dV/dt rate appearing on the drain-to-source of Q2. Slowing down the turn-on of Q1 will result in slightly higher
switching loss for that device only, but the efficiency gained by preventing dV/dt turn-on of Q2 will far outweigh
the negligible effect of adding R1.
When Q2 is optimally selected for dV/dt robustness and careful attention is paid to the PCB layout of the switch
node, R1 may not be needed at all, and can therefore be replaced with a 0-Ω jumper to maintain high efficiency.
The goal of the designer should not be to completely eliminate the dV/dt turn-on spike but to assure that the
maximum amplitude is less than the MOSFET gate-to-source turn-on threshold voltage under all operating
conditions.
selection of bypass capacitor C1
Bypass capacitors should be selected based upon allowable ripple voltage, usually expressed as a percent of
the regulated power supply rail to be bypassed. In all of the UCC27223 application circuits shown herein, C1
provides the bypass for the main (high-side) gate driver. Every time Q1 is switched on, a packet of charge is
removed from C1 to charge Q1’s gate to approximately 6.0 V. The charge delivered to the gate of Q1 can be
found in the manufacturer’s datasheet curves. An example of a gate charge curve is shown in Figure 4.

As shown in Figure 4, 31 nC of gate charge is required in order for Q1’s gate to be charged to 6.0 V, relative

C1 MIN +
QG

where k is the percent ripple on C1, QG is the total gate charge required to drive the gate of Q1 from zero to
the final value of (VHI−VSW). In this example gate charge curve, the value of the quantity (VHI−VSW) is taken
to be 6.0 V. This value represents the nominal VLO regulator output voltage minus the forward voltage drop of
the external Schottky diode, D1. For the MOSFET with the gate charge described in Figure 4, the minimum
capacitance required to maintain a 3% peak-to-peak ripple voltage can be calculated to be 172 nF, so a 180-nF
or a 220-nF capacitor could be used. The maximum peak-to-peak C1 ripple must be kept below 0.4 V for proper
operation.

SLUS558 − DECEMBER 2003
APPLICATION INFORMATION
selection of MOSFETs
The peak current rating of a driver imposes a limit on the maximum gate charge of the external power MOSFET
driven by it. The limit is based on the amount of time needed to deliver or remove the required charge to achieve
the desired switching speed during turn-on and turn-off of the external transistor. Hence, there are the families
of gate driver circuits with different current ratings.
To demonstrate this, assume a constant time interval for the switching transition and a fixed gate drive
amplitude. A larger MOSFET with more gate charge will require higher current capability from the driver to
turn-on or turn-off the device in the same amount of time. Accordingly, there is a practical upper limit on gate
charge which can be driven by the UCC27223. Considering the current capability of the TrueDrive output
stage and the available dynamic range (delay adjust range) of the Predictive Gate Drive circuitry, this limit is
approximately 120 nC of gate charge.
Some higher current applications require several MOSFETs to be connected parallel and driven by the same
gate drive signal. If their combined gate charge exceeds 120 nC, the rise and fall times of the gate drive signals
will extend and limit the delay adjust range of the PGD circuit in the UCC27223. This may limit the benefits of
the PGD technology under certain operating conditions.
Note that there are additional considerations in the gate drive circuit design which influence the maximum gate
charge of the external MOSFETs. The most significant of these is the operating frequency which, together with
the amount of gate charge, will define the power dissipation in the driver. The allowable power dissipation is a
function of the maximum junction and operating temperatures, thermal and reliability considerations.
selection of bypass capacitor C2
C2 supplies the peak current required to turn on the Q2 synchronous rectifier MOSFET, as well as the peak
current to charge the C1 capacitor through the bootstrap diode. Since the synchronous MOSFET is turned on
with 0 V across its drain-to-source, there is no Miller, or gate-to-drain charge. Therefore the synchronous
MOSFET gate can be modeled as a simple linear capacitance. The value of this capacitance can be found from
the datasheet’s gate charge curve. Referring to Figure 5, the slope of the curve past the Miller plateau indicates
the equivalent gate capacitance. Because the Y-axis is described in volts, the capacitance is actually the inverse
of the slope of the curve. For example, the curve in Figure 4 has a slope of approximately 2 V / 12 nC over the
gate charge range of 10 nC to 40 nC. The equivalent capacitance is 12 nC / 2 V = 6 nF. With the equivalent
capacitance, the minimum bypass capacitor value can be calculated as:
C2 MIN +
C EQ
(2)
k
where
D CEQ is the equivalent gate capacitance,
D k is the voltage ripple on C2, expressed as a percentage
For a peak-to-peak ripple of 3%, the minimum C2 capacitor value is calculated to be 200 nF. A 220-nF capacitor
would be used in this case. C2MAX should not exceed 4.7 µF. In addition to the calculated capacitance, a 100-nF
low ESL by-pass capacitor should be placed as close to the UCC27223 chip as possible. The capacitor provides
the transient currents needed by the drive stage and prevents UVLO shutdown of the driver during turn-on.

systems with 5-V input only
The circuit pictured in Figure 6 starts up from a 5-V input bus and provides a 6.5-V gate drive to the power
MOSFETs. This circuit uses a charge pump consisting of D3, D4 and C3 to effectively double the input voltage
and apply this to the input of the linear regulator. The regulator then regulates the doubled input voltage to the
6.5-V nominal for VLO.

selecting D2, D3, and D4
Selection of suitable diodes is based upon the conducted peak and average currents. D2 simply provides a path
to charge C2 at converter power-up. Virtually any one of the common BAT54 series of Schottky diodes can be
used. To select D3 and D4, the peak currents of these two diodes need to be taken into account. First, the
average current flowing in both D3 and D4 is the same as the regulator current described in equation (3). The
peak currents in D3 and D4 are described as:
I D3PK +
I REG
1*D
(5)
I D4PK +
I REG
D
(6)
For most UCC272223applications, the duty cycle is much less than 50%, and the peak current in D3 is quite
reasonable. However, the peak current in D4 is quite high. This high peak current requires using a diode with
a higher current rating for D4.
To maintain a reasonable charge pump efficiency, BAT54-type diodes can be used for applications where the
peak currents are below approximately 40 mA. For applications where the peak current is greater than 40 mA,
a 350-mA or 500-mA diode should be used. A typical 350-mA diode is SD103CW, SOD−123 package,
manufactured by Diodes Inc. A typical 500-mA diode is the ZHCS500, SOT−23 package, available from Zetex
Inc.

The flying capacitor is subjected to large peak currents, and to keep the peak-to-peak ripple voltage low, this

enable pin and driver operation at start-up
In the UCC27223, an active-high ENBL function is implemented on pin 2. This pin when pulled low will shut off
both G1 and G2 outputs regardless of the state of the PWM input signal. The ENBL pin is pull up to VLO internally
with a 110-kΩ resistor so that the chip will be functional if the pin is left open. Enable thresholds are 2.45 V on,
and 1.7 V off. The UCC27223 also includes a logic latch to keep both outputs low at start-up even when VDD
is past UVLO turn-on threshold. Both outputs will always be low until the first PWM input signal comes in.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
synchronous rectification and predictive delay
In a normal buck converter, when the main switch turns off, current is flowing to the load in the inductor. This
current cannot be stopped immediately without using infinite voltage. For the current path to flow and maintain
voltage levels at a safe level, a rectifier or catch device is used. This device can be either a conventional diode,
or it can be a controlled active device if a control signal is available to drive it. The UCC27223 provides a signal
to drive an N-channel MOSFET as a rectifier. This control signal is carefully coordinated with the drive signal
for the main switch so that there is minimum delay from the time that the rectifier MOSFET turns off and the main
switch turns on, and minimum delay from when the main switch turns off and the rectifier MOSFET turns on.
This scheme, Predictive Gate Drivet delay, uses information from the current switching cycle to adjust the
delays that are to be used in the next cycle. Figure 7 shows the switch-node voltage waveform for a
synchronously rectified buck converter. Illustrated are the relative effects of a fixed-delay drive scheme
(constant, pre-set delays for the turnoff to turn on intervals), an adaptive delay drive scheme (variable delays
based upon voltages sensed on the current switching cycle) and the predictive delay drive scheme.
Note that the longer the time spent in body-diode conduction during the rectifier conduction period, the lower
the efficiency. Also, not described in Figure 7 is the fact that the predictive delay circuit can prevent the body
diode from becoming forward biased at all while at the same time avoiding cross conduction or shoot through.
This results in a significant power savings when the main MOSFET turns on, and minimizes reverse recovery
loss in the body diode of the rectifier MOSFET.
The power dissipation on the main (forward) MOSFET is reduced as well, although that savings is not as
significant as the savings in the rectifier MOSFET.
During reverse recovery the body diode is still forward biased, thus the reverse recovery current goes through
the forward MOSFET while the drain−source voltage is still high, causing additional switching losses. Without
PGD during this switching transition, Vds = Vin and Ids = Iload + Irr in the main MOSFET. With PGD however,
Vds = Vin and Ids = Iload. The reduction in current accounts for additional power savings in the main MOSFET.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
comparison between predictive and adaptive gate drive techniques
The first synchronous rectifier controllers had a fixed turn-on delay between the two gate drivers. The advantage
of this well-known technique is its simplicity. The drawbacks include the need to make the delay times long
enough to cover the entire application of the device and the temperature and lot-to-lot variation of the time delay.
Since the body-diode of the synchronous rectifier conducts during this deadtime, the efficiency of this technique
varies with different MOSFETs, ambient temperature, and with the lot-to-lot variation of the deadtime delay.
To combat the variability of the internal time delays, second generation controllers used state information from
the power stage to control the turn-on of the two gate drivers. This technique is usually referred to as adaptive
gate drive technique and is pictured in FIgure 8.

Figure 8. Adaptive Gate Drive Technique
The main advantage of the adaptive technique is the on-the-fly delay adjustment for different MOSFETs and
temperature-variable time delays. The disadvantages include the body-diode conduction time intervals caused
by delays in the cross-coupling loops and the inability to compensate for the delay to charge the MOSFET gates
to the threshold levels. Additionally, it is difficult to determine whether the synchronous MOSFET channel is off
by solely monitoring the SR MOSFET gate voltage. Some devices actually add a programmable delay between
the turn-off of the synchronous rectifier and the turn-on of the main MOSFET via an external capacitor. This
added delay directly affects the power stage efficiency through additional body-diode conduction losses. Since
these losses are centralized in the synchronous MOSFET, the stress and temperature rise in this component
becomes a major design headache.
The third-generation predictive control technique is different from the adaptive technique in that it uses
information from the previous switching cycle to set the deadtime for the current cycle. The adaptive technique
on the other hand uses the current state information to set the delay times. The inherent feedback loop
propagation delays cause body-diode conduction.

adaptive vs. predictive waveforms
Figures 9 through 11 illustrate the adaptive (left) vs. predictive (right) switching waveforms. Key comparison
regions are denoted with (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E) for the adaptive control waveforms and (A′), (B′), (C′), (D′),
and (E′) for the predictive control waveforms. Figures 10 and 11 are close-ups of each transition edge.
At (A), the propagation delay from sensing the synchronous rectifier gate going low to the high-side gate going
high results in approximately 60 ns of body-diode conduction shown at (B). With the predictive drive, as soon
as the body-diode conduction of the SR MOSFET (B) is sensed, the high-side turn-on delay is adjusted to
minimize the body-diode conduction time (B′).
At (A′), the high side gate-to-source voltage is increasing while the synchronous rectifier gate-to-source voltage
is decreasing. A natural result of the precise timing of the high-side MOSFET turn-on is shown at (C) and (C′).
The overshoot and ringing for the predictive drive (C′) has much smaller amplitude than the adaptive drive (C)
due a reduction in reverse recovery in the SR MOSFET body diode. This reduction in reverse recovery is only
possible with the extremely precise gate timing used in the predictive drive technique.
At (D), the propagation delay from the synchronous rectifier drain-to-source voltage falling to the gate-to-source
voltage rising causes the body diode of the SR MOSFET to conduct for approximately 60 ns (E). When the
predictive drive is enabled (D′), the inherent delay is eliminated and virtually no body-diode conduction is shown
at (E′).

efficiency comparison
Figures 12 through 15 show a series of efficiency measurements taken at two output voltages (0.9 V and 1.8
V) and two switching frequencies (250 kHz and 500 kHz) for both predictive and adaptive delay techniques.
The efficiency gain using the predictive technique is 1% for a VOUT level of 1.8 V and at a switching frequency
of 250 kHz (Figure 12). Figures 13 and 14 show the efficiency gain approximately doubles when VOUT is lowered
by a factor of two (to 0.9 V), or when the switching frequency is doubled to 500 kHz. With both doubled frequency
and one-half of the output voltage, the efficiency gain of predictive technology is about 4% over the adaptive
technology (Figure 15). Therefore, as the switching frequency increases and output voltages are lowered, the
efficiency gains are higher. This results in lower operational temperatures for increased reliability as well as
smaller size designs for increased frequencies.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
packaging
The UCC27223 is only available in TI’s thermally enhanced 14-pin PowerPad package. This package offers
exceptional thermal impedance with a junction-to-case rating of 2_C/W. Shown as the crosshatched region in
Figure 16, PowerPad includes an exposed leadframe die pad located on the bottom side of the package.
Exposed pad dimensions for the PowerPadt TSSOP 14-pin package are 69 mils x 56 mils (1.8 mm x 1.4 mm).
However, the exposed pad tolerances can be + 41 / − 2 mils (+ 1.05 /− .05 mm) due to position and mold flow
variation. Effectively removing the heat from the PowerPAD package requires a thermal land area, shown as
the shaded gray region in Figure 16, designed into the PCB directly beneath the package. A minimum thermal
land area of 5 mm by 3.4 mm is recommended as illustrated in Figure 16. Any tolerance variances of the exposed
PowerPad falls well within the thermal land area when the recommended minimum land area is included on
the printed circuit board. In addition, a 2-by-3 array of 13-mil thermal vias is required within the exposed
PowerPad area, as shown in Figure 16. If additional heat sinking capability is required, larger 25-mil vias can
be added to the thermal land area.

All linear dimensions are in millimeters.
This drawing is subject to change without notice.
Body dimensions do not include mold flash or protrusions.
The package thermal performance may be enhanced by attaching an external heat sink to the thermal pad.
This pad is electrically and thermally connected to the backside of the die.
E. Falls within JEDEC MO-153
F. The PowerPAD is not directly connected to any leads of the package. However, it is electrically and thermally connected to the
substrate which is the ground of the device. The exposed pad dimension is 1.4 mm x 1.8 mm. However, the tolerances can be
+1.05/−0.05 mm (+ 41 / −2 mils) due to position and mold flow variation.
G. For additional information on the PowerPADt package and how to take advantage of its heat dissipating abilities, refer to Technical
Brief, PowerPad Thermally Enhanced Package, Texas Instrument s Literature No. SLMA002 and Application Brief, PowerPad Made
