The UCD7100
device
is
part
of the UCD7K family of digital control compatible drivers for applications
that
use digital control technology
that
requires
fast local peak current limit protection.
The UCD7100 is a low-side ±4-A
high-current MOSFET gate driver. It allows the digital power controllers such as
UCD9110 or UCD9501 to interface to the power stage in single ended topologies. It
provides a cycle-by-cycle current limit function with programmable threshold and a
digital output current limit flag which can be monitored by the host controller.
With a fast 25-ns cycle-by-cycle current limit protection, the driver can turn off
the power stage in the unlikely event that the digital system can not respond to a
failure situation in time.
