Texas Instruments UCC5304EVM-035 Gate Driver Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments UCC5304EVM-035 Gate Driver Evaluation Module (EVM) is designed for evaluating UCC5304, which is an isolated single-channel gate driver with 4A source and 6A sink peak current capability. This evaluation module serves as a reference design for driving power MOSFETs with up to 18V drive voltage, UCC5304 pin function identification, components selection guide, and PCB layout example. Texas Instruments UCC5304EVM-035 has independent connection points for VCCI and VDD supplies, including separate ground points. A three-position header with jumpers for the input signal, lets designers easily tie input high or low. A variety of testing points are provided for easy connection, including some designated for use with ground springs for shorter measurement loops of key signals. The PCB layout is optimized with a minimized loop area in both the gate driver and power supply loops with bypassing capacitors.
