Abstract

When selecting a gate driver, consider the target application and topology to determine the best possible driver for that a specific end equipment. In this application note, assorted end equipment (EE) and topologies are described with regards to the 120V half-bridge gate driver selection and application. First, example EEs are considered and the topologies that are preferred in those examples. Then, the underlying design considerations for these applications and topologies are described next. This application note shows which Texas Instruments' half-bridge gate drivers are the best choice for each of these scenarios with justification for those selections. More specifically, this document shows the UCC27301A(-Q1) and the UCC27282(-Q1) gate drivers.
