The UCC27311A is a robust gate driver
designed to drive two N-channel MOSFETs in a half-bridge or
synchronous buck configuration with an absolute maximum bootstrap
voltage of 120V. Its 3.7A peak source and 4.5A peak sink current
capability allows the UCC27311A to
drive large power MOSFETs with minimized switching losses during the
transition through the Miller Plateau. The switching node (HS pin)
can handle negative transient voltage, which allows the high-side
channel to be protected from inherent negative voltages caused by
parasitic inductance and stray capacitance.
The inputs are independent
of supply voltage and are able to withstand -10V and +20V absolute
maximum ratings. The low-side and high-side gate drivers are matched
to 4ns between the turn on and turn off of each other and are
controlled throught the LI and HI input pins respectively. An on-chip 120V
rated bootstrap diode eliminates the need to add discrete bootstrap
diodes. Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) is provided for both the
high-side and the low-side drivers which provides symmetric turn on
and turn off behavior and forces the outputs low if the drive
voltage is below the specified threshold.
