3 Description

The UCC27524A device is a dual-channel, highspeed,

low-side, gate-driver device capable of

effectively driving MOSFET and IGBT power

switches. The UCC27524A is a variant of the

UCC2752x family. The UCC27524A adds the ability

to handle –5V directly at the input pins for increased

robustness. The UCC27524A is a dual non-inverting

driver. Using a design that inherently minimizes

shoot-through current, the UCC27524A is capable of

delivering high-peak current pulses of up to 5A source

and 5A sink into capacitive loads along with rail-torail

drive capability and extremely small propagation

delay typically 17ns. In addition, the drivers feature

matched internal propagation delays between the two

channels which are very well suited for applications

requiring dual-gate drives with critical timing, such as

synchronous rectifiers. This also enables connecting

two channels in parallel to effectively increase currentdrive

capability or driving two switches in parallel

with a single input signal. The input pin thresholds

are based on TTL and CMOS compatible low-voltage

logic, which is fixed and independent of the VDD

supply voltage. Wide hysteresis between the high and

low thresholds offers excellent noise immunity.
