SLUS741D – NOVEMBER 2006 – REVISED JANUARY 2010

The UCD7230 is a MOSFET gate driver specifically designed for synchronous buck applications. It is ideally
suited to provide the bridge between digital controllers such as the UCD91xx or the UCD95xx and the power
stage. With cycle-by-cycle current limit protection, the UCD7230 device protects the power stage from faulty
input signals or excessive load currents.
The UCD7230 includes high-side and low-side gate drivers which utilize Texas Instrument’s TrueDrive™ output
architecture. This architecture delivers rated current into the gate capacitance of a MOSFET during the Miller
plateau region of the switching. Furthermore, the UCD7230 offers a low offset differential amplifier with a fixed
gain of 48. This amplifier greatly simplifies the task of conditioning small current sense signals inherent in high
efficiency buck converters.
The UCD7230 includes a 3.3-V, 10-mA linear regulator to provide power to digital controllers such as the
UCD91xx. The UCD7230 is compatible with standard 3.3-V I/O ports of the UCD91xx, the TMS320TM family
DSPs, mCs, or ASICs.
The UCD7230 is offered in PowerPAD™ HTSSOP or space-saving QFN packages. Package pin out has been
carefully designed for optimal board layout
