8.2.2.2 Gate-Driver Output Resistor

The external gate-driver resistors, RG(ON) and RG(OFF) are used to:

  1. Limit ringing caused by parasitic inductances and capacitances
  2. Limit ringing caused by high voltage or high current switching dv/dt, di/dt, and body-diode reverse recovery
  3. Fine-tune gate drive strength, specifically peak sink and source current to optimize the switching loss
  4. Reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI)

The output stage has a pull-up structure consisting of a P-channel MOSFET and an N-channel MOSFET in parallel. The combined typical peak source current is 10 A for UCC5350L-Q1. Use Equation 1 to estimate the peak source current. Recommend using at least 5Ω gate resistor for additional robustness for DWL package due to wide body adding additional inductance.

Equation 1. I O H = V C C 2 - V E E 2 R N M O S | | R O H + R G O N + R G F E T _ I n t

where

  • RON is the external turn-on resistance, which is 2.2 Ω in this example.
  • RGFET_Int is the power transistor internal gate resistance, found in the power transistor data sheet. We will assume 1.8Ω for our example.
  • IOH is the typical peak source current which is the minimum value between 10 A, the gate-driver peak source current, and the calculated value based on the gate-drive loop resistance.

In this example, the peak source current is approximately 3.36 A as calculated in Equation 2.

Equation 2. I O H = V C C 2 - V E E 2 R N M O S | | R O H + R G O N + R G F E T _ I n t = 18   V 1.54 Ω | | 12 Ω + 2.2 Ω + 1.8 Ω ≈ 3.36 A

Similarly, use Equation 3 to calculate the peak sink current.

Equation 3. I O L = V C C 2 - V E E 2 R O L + R G O F F + R G F E T _ I n t

where

  • ROFF is the external turn-off resistance, which is 2.2 Ω in this example.
  • IOL is the typical peak sink current which is the minimum value between 10 A, the gate-driver peak sink current, and the calculated value based on the gate-drive loop resistance.

In this example, the peak sink current is the minimum value between Equation 4 and 10 A.

Equation 4. I O L = V C C 2 - V E E 2 R O L + R G O F F + R G F E T _ I n t = 18   V 0.26 Ω + 2.2 Ω + 1.8 Ω ≈ 4.23 A
Note:

The estimated peak current is also influenced by PCB layout and load capacitance. Parasitic inductance in the gate-driver loop can slow down the peak gate-drive current and introduce overshoot and undershoot. Therefore, TI strongly recommends that the gate-driver loop should be minimized. Conversely, the peak source and sink current is dominated by loop parasitics when the load capacitance (CISS) of the power transistor is very small (typically less than 1 nF) because the rising and falling time is too small and close to the parasitic ringing period.
