3 Description

The UCC27511A device is a compact gate driver that

offers superior replacement of NPN and PNP discrete

driver (buffer circuit) solutions. The UCC27511A

device is a single-channel low-side, high-speed gate

driver rated for MOSFETs, IGBTs, and emerging widebandgap

power devices such as GaN. The device

features fast rise times, fall times, and propagation

delays, making the UCC27511A device suitable for

high-speed applications. Its asymmetrical 4A peak

source and 8A peak sink currents boost immunity

against parasitic Miller turnon effect. The split

output configuration enables easy and independent

adjustment of rise and fall times using only two

resistors and eliminating the need for an external

diode. Features including wide input hysteresis and

negative input voltage handling enhance transient

immunity.
