Available in an 8-pin SOIC with a thermal pad, the UCC27201A-Q1 provides a propagation delay at 15ns with rise and fall times of 7ns, allowing the system to switch efficiently at high frequencies. It also features delay matching of 1ns for 12 to 48V DC/DC power supplies. This is said to reduce the size and weight of the magnetics and heat sinks, ultimately lightening the vehicle load and resulting in better fuel efficiency.
The UCC27201A-Q1 features negative voltage handling capability on the high-side pin, making the product more immune to noise. An integrated 120V bootstrap diode is also said to allow for N-channel MOSFET control in half-bridge, full-bridge, two-switch forward and active clamp forward converters and eliminates the need for external discrete diodes.
The driver can be used in combination with digital controllers such as the UCD3138, C2000 LaunchPad development kits, MSP430 microcontrollers or any analogue controller in high-efficiency hybrid systems.
Designers can develop and debug applications by using the TINA-TI and PSpice models to simulate system performance.
