UCC27201DR

Gate Driver Overview

The UCC27201DR is a high-frequency half-bridge gate driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features dual independent outputs for high-side and low-side MOSFET control, housed in an 8-SOIC package. The device supports a supply voltage range of 8 V to 17 V and delivers a peak output current of 3 A. It handles bootstrap voltages up to 120 V and operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +140°C. Typical switching performance includes an 8 ns rise time and a 7 ns fall time, with maximum on/off delay times of 1 ns.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• Provides independent high-side and low-side drive channels for half-bridge configurations
• Supports negative voltage handling capabilities for robust operation
• Features non-inverting logic inputs for straightforward signal interfacing

Gate Driver Applications

• High-frequency power conversion systems
• Motor control applications requiring precise gate driving
• Industrial power supplies and inverters

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the SOIC-8 package type and tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint and thermal management requirements. Confirm that the component meets the required RoHS compliance standards for the intended market. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and traceability.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 A peak drive current and 120 V bootstrap capability are required for high-side switching. Consider the 8-SOIC package for standard surface-mount assembly processes. Evaluate the 8 ns rise and fall times against the switching frequency requirements of the application. Compare against the UCC27211 series if higher peak current output is necessary for larger capacitive loads.

Gate Driver Part Context

This device belongs to the UCC2720x family of high-speed MOSFET gate drivers designed for efficient power management. It serves as a direct interface between logic controllers and power switches, optimizing switching speed and reducing losses. The family emphasizes reliability in harsh industrial environments with extended temperature ratings.
