Pinout Functions for UCC27211AQDDARQ1 (SOIC-8):
Pin Number Pin Name Description 1 VDD This is the positive supply voltage input pin for the high-side driver. Connect to the supply voltage (typically +12V to +18V) for proper operation. 2 LO The low-side output pin. This pin drives the low-side N-channel MOSFET. It connects to the gate of the MOSFET to switch it on/off. 3 COM Common ground pin. It is the return path for the low-side driver and should be connected to the system ground. 4 HS The high-side source pin. It connects to the source of the high-side N-channel MOSFET and the switch node of the circuit. 5 HO The high-side output pin. This pin drives the high-side N-channel MOSFET. It connects to the gate of the MOSFET to switch it on/off. 6 VB This is the bootstrap pin. It provides the necessary charge to the high-side driver (HO) for it to drive the high-side MOSFET gate above the supply voltage. 7 VSS Ground pin. This is the reference ground for the IC and is used for the low-side driver and logic circuits. 8 NC No connection pin. This pin is reserved and not connected to any internal circuit. It can be left floating or tied to ground.Circuit Principle and Usage Instructions:
The UCC27211AQDDARQ1 is designed for driving both high-side and low-side MOSFETs. In circuits with complementary MOSFETs, this driver can be used to switch the MOSFETs on and off, ensuring efficient power conversion or switching operation.
Low-side driver (LO) controls the gate of the low-side MOSFET. It is referenced to ground (COM) and will turn the MOSFET on when a logic high signal is applied. High-side driver (HO) controls the gate of the high-side MOSFET. It operates with respect to the high-side source pin (HS), and the required voltage for proper operation is supplied via the bootstrap capacitor at pin VB.FAQ - 20 Common Questions for UCC27211AQDDARQ1
Q: What is the operating voltage range for UCC27211AQDDARQ1? A: The operating voltage range for UCC27211AQDDARQ1 is typically from 4.5V to 18V for VDD, and the bootstrap voltage for HO typically requires a charge of 12V or higher.
Q: What is the maximum switching frequency of the UCC27211AQDDARQ1? A: The maximum switching frequency is determined by external components, but it can support frequencies up to 1 MHz depending on the application.
Q: How do I choose the right bootstrap capacitor for UCC27211AQDDARQ1? A: A 0.1µF to 1µF ceramic capacitor is typically recommended for the bootstrap capacitor connected to pin VB for stable operation.
Q: What is the maximum output current for the low-side driver (LO)? A: The low-side driver (LO) can provide a typical peak output current of 1.5A.
Q: Can the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 be used to drive both N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs? A: No, UCC27211AQDDARQ1 is designed to drive N-channel MOSFETs only.
Q: How do I connect the VSS and COM pins in my circuit? A: Both VSS and COM should be connected to the same ground potential for proper operation, as they serve as the reference for the low-side driver.
Q: How do I interface the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 with a microcontroller? A: The VDD pin can be connected to the microcontroller’s power supply, and the logic inputs to LO and HO can be controlled with logic-level signals from the microcontroller.
Q: What is the typical rise and fall time for the outputs HO and LO? A: The rise and fall times depend on the gate capacitance of the MOSFET being driven, but typical values are in the 10ns to 50ns range for fast switching.
Q: Can the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 drive multiple MOSFETs simultaneously? A: No, the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 is a single-channel driver, so you can drive only one pair of MOSFETs (high-side and low-side) per IC.
Q: How do I protect the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 from voltage spikes? A: You should use diodes or TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes across the HO and COM pins to protect the driver from voltage spikes.
Q: What is the typical propagation delay of the UCC27211AQDDARQ1? A: The typical propagation delay is around 40ns for both HO and LO.
Q: How should I connect the HS pin in my application? A: The HS pin should be connected to the source of the high-side MOSFET, and it will act as the reference point for driving the MOSFET gate.
Q: What happens if the bootstrap capacitor is not sized correctly? A: If the bootstrap capacitor is too small, the high-side driver (HO) will not have sufficient charge, leading to inadequate gate drive and potential failure to switch the MOSFET on.
Q: Can I use the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 for low-voltage logic circuits? A: No, the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 is designed for higher voltage operation, typically used for power electronics. It’s not suitable for low-voltage logic circuits.
Q: Does the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 provide thermal protection? A: The IC does not have internal thermal shutdown protection, so external thermal management techniques should be used if operating at high power levels.
Q: How do I connect the VB pin to ensure proper operation? A: The VB pin should be connected to a bootstrap capacitor, which is then charged through a diode from the VDD pin during the low-side operation.
Q: What is the default behavior of the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 when the input pins are left floating? A: The UCC27211AQDDARQ1 may behave unpredictably or be in a high-impedance state if the input pins are left floating. It’s important to drive the pins with appropriate logic signals.
Q: Can I use the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 with a low-voltage microcontroller? A: Yes, as long as the microcontroller’s logic levels are within the range that the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 can accept, typically 3.3V or 5V logic.
Q: What is the power consumption of the UCC27211AQDDARQ1? A: The power consumption is dependent on the switching frequency and load. However, the typical supply current is in the 1-5mA range under no-load conditions.
Q: Can I use the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 in automotive applications? A: Yes, the UCC27211AQDDARQ1 is rated for use in automotive applications, with an extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
