UCC27528DR

Gate Driver Overview

The UCC27528DR is a dual low-side gate driver from Texas Instruments, designed for effectively driving MOSFET and IGBT power switches. It delivers high-peak current pulses of up to 5A source and 5A sink into capacitive loads. The device features rail-to-rail drive capability and extremely small propagation delay, typically 13ns. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and supports non-inverting logic configuration. The component is housed in an SOIC-8 package with surface-mount installation.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• Inherently minimizes shoot-through current through specific design architecture
• Features matched internal propagation delays between the two channels for critical timing applications
• Capable of delivering high-peak current pulses for effective switching of power devices

Gate Driver Applications

• Synchronous rectifiers requiring dual-gate drives with critical timing
• Driving two switches in parallel with a single input signal
• General purpose MOSFET and IGBT gate driving

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct packaging and variant specifications. Confirm that the SOIC-8 package type matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the selected component meets the necessary RoHS compliance standards for the intended market. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate parameter accuracy before final procurement decisions.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this component when dual low-side driving with matched timing is required. The 5A peak current capability suits moderate power switching applications. Consider the 4.5V to 18V supply range compatibility with standard logic levels. The non-inverting configuration simplifies control interface design. Evaluate thermal performance within the specified operating temperature range for the specific enclosure environment.

Gate Driver Part Context

This part belongs to the UCC2752x series of dual high-speed low-side gate drivers. The series is characterized by its ability to minimize shoot-through and provide matched channel delays. It serves as a solution for applications needing precise timing control between two low-side switches, such as in synchronous buck converters or half-bridge configurations where both switches are low-side driven.
