Texas Instruments UCC21738-Q1 Isolated Single-Channel Gate Driver

Texas Instrument UCC21738-Q1 Isolated Single-Channel Gate Driver is designed for IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs up to 2121V DC operating voltage. These devices have advanced protection features, best-in-class dynamic performance, and robustness. The device has up to ±10A peak source and sink currents. The input side is isolated from the output side with SiO2 capacitive isolation technology. This feature supports up to 1.5kVRMS working voltage and 12.8kVPK surge immunity with longer than 40 years of isolation barrier life. It also provides low part-to-part skew and > 150V/ns common-mode transient immunity (CMTI).

The Texas Instruments UCC21738-Q1 includes state-of-art protection features, such as short circuit detection and fast overcurrent, fault reporting, shunt current sensing support, active Miller clamp, output and input side power supply UVLO to optimize IGBT and SiC switching robustness and behavior. The ASC feature can be utilized to force the ON power switch during system failure events. This feature further increases the drivers’ versatility and simplifies the system design size, effort, and cost.
