Measuring 1.475 inch x 1.320 inch and powered by two external supplies (10 V and 12 V), and featuring all necessary input and outputs on standard 6-pin and 3-pin, 100-mil connectors, this EVM can be directly plugged into a power stage board and used for the evaluation as an isolated driver suitable for driving power converter applications. The EVM delivers a 20 V to -5 V output differential gate drive which can be used to drive SiC power MOSFETs and Si IGBTs with a negative turn-off voltage. This EVM provides drive signals across an isolated boundary, enabling it to drive low or high-side switches. This EVM is intended as an evaluation tool for the UCC27532 and is not intended for use as an end product. 2 Description The UCC27532EVM-538 is intended to be used as an evaluation tool for the UCC27532DBV driver, providing all of the necessary hardware. All input and outputs of the EVM can be accessed through jumpers on the bottom side of the EVM, providing the ability to plug directly into a power stage. The EVM needs two DC power supply inputs (one 12 V and one 10 V) and a 0-V to 5-V input PWM signal to deliver a typical output differential of 25 V (-5 V to 20 V) between the GATE and SOURCE pins of the EVM. The EVM employs on-board isolators and isolated bias supplies to deliver a compact, isolated gate driver module solution that can be interfaced with power stages to quickly evaluate the operation of UCC27532 device.

VCC_HIGH (10 V) 2. VCC_LOW (12 V) VCC_HIGH is fed to the isolated, non-regulated DC-to-DC converter RP1212D (X2), creating 20 V relative to SOURCE. The VCC_LOW is fed to another isolated, non-regulated DC-to-DC converter RP1205S (X1) which creates -5 V relative to SOURCE. The total differential of 25 V powers the UCC27352DBV device (between VDD and GND) allowing for the GATE output to swing from -5 V to 20 V relative to the SOURCE pin of the EVM. 2.4.1 PWM Input UCC27532 features non-inverting input to output logic. The PWM input is fed to the opto-coupler, isolating the input signal for use with the UCC27532DBV through the INPUT_HIGH pin. Pulling INPUT_HIGH high turns on the output of the UCC27532 (GATE pin), and pulling INPUT_HIGH low turns off the output. 2.4.2 Floating Signal Nodes The UCC27532DBV input pin (IN, pin #2) has an internal pull-down resistor. Leaving this node floating pulls IN low and therefore the output GATE to low. The Enable pin (EN, pin #1) is internally pulled up to VDD, the UCC27532 output is enabled by default. In the EVM, UCC27532 Enable pin is in floating condition. 3 Electrical Performance Specifications Table 1.

Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment. TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily performed. TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide adequate design and operating safeguards. TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of any TI components in safety-critical applications. In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms. No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use. Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
