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.

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. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC27532 UCC27532 www.ti.com SLUSBD9 – FEBRUARY 2013 Table 1. UCC27532 Features and Benefits FEATURE BENEFIT High source and sink current capability, 2.5 A and 5 A (asymmetrical). High current capability offers flexibility in employing UCC27532 device to drive a variety of power switching devices at varying speeds. Low 17 ns (typ) propagation delay. Extremely low pulse transmission distortion. Wide VDD operating range of 10 V to 32 V. Flexibility in system design. Can be used in split-rail systems such as driving IGBTs with both positive and negative(relative to Emitter) supplies. Optimal for many SiC FETs. VDD UVLO protection. Outputs are held Low in UVLO condition, which ensures predictable, glitch-free operation at power-up and power-down. High UVLO of 8.9V typical ensures that power switch is not on in high-impedance state which could result in high power dissipation or even failures. Outputs held low when input pin (IN) in floating condition. Safety feature, especially useful in passing abnormal condition tests during safety certification Split output structure (OUTH, OUTL). Allows independent optimization of turn-on and turn-off speeds using series gate resistors. Strong sink current (5 A) and low pull-down impedance (0.65 Ω). High immunity to high dV/dt Miller turn-on events. CMOS compatible input threshold logic with wide 2.1-V hysteresis. Excellent noise immunity. Input capable of withstanding -6.5 V. Enhanced signal reliability in noisy environments that experience ground bounce on the gate driver. 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. VDD Threshold VDD IN OUT Figure 23. Power Up Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC27532 15 UCC27532 SLUSBD9 – FEBRUARY 2013 www.ti.com 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. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC27532 UCC27532 www.ti.com SLUSBD9 – FEBRUARY 2013 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. VDD R OH R NMOS, Pull Up OUTH Input Signal Anti Shoot Through Circuitry Narrow Pulse at each Turn On OUTL R OL Figure 24. UCC27532 Gate Driver Output Stage 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. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC27532 17 UCC27532 SLUSBD9 – FEBRUARY 2013 www.ti.com 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.

Low Pull-Down Impedance in UCC27532 (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. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC27532 UCC27532 www.ti.com SLUSBD9 – FEBRUARY 2013 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 RON PSW = 0.5 ´ Qg ´ VDD ´ fsw ç + ÷ ç (ROFF + RGATE ) (RON + RGATE ) ÷ è ø where • ROFF = ROL and RON (effective resistance of pull-up structure) = 3 x ROL (5) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC27532 19 UCC27532 SLUSBD9 – FEBRUARY 2013 www.ti.com 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. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: UCC27532 PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 28-Feb-2013 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) Package Type Package Pins Package Qty Drawing Eco Plan Lead/Ball Finish (2) MSL Peak Temp Op Temp (°C) Top-Side Markings (3) (4) UCC27532DBVR ACTIVE SOT-23 DBV 6 3000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-1-260C-UNLIM 7532 UCC27532DBVT ACTIVE SOT-23 DBV 6 250 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-1-260C-UNLIM 7532 (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
