3 Description

The UCC27524 device is a dual-channel, high-speed,

low-side, gate-driver device capable of effectively

driving MOSFET and IGBT power switches. The

UCC27524 adds the ability to handle –5V directly

at the input pins for increased robustness. The

UCC27524 is a dual non-inverting driver. Using

a design that inherently minimizes shoot-through

current, the UCC27524 is capable of delivering

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

5A sink into capacitive loads along with rail-to-rail

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.
