Create a Custom Design Using the UCC21222
With the WEBENCH® Power Designer
The UCC21222 device can be configured as two lowside drivers, two high-side drivers, or a half-bridge
driver. 5ns delay matching performance allows two
outputs to be paralleled, doubling the drive strength
for heavy load conditions without risk of internal
shoot-through.
The input side is isolated from the two output drivers
by a 3.0-kVRMS isolation barrier, with a minimum of
100-V/ns common-mode transient immunity (CMTI).
Resistor programmable dead time gives the capability
to adjust dead time for system constraints to improve
efficiency and prevent output overlap. Other
protection features include: Disable feature to shut
down both outputs simultaneously when DIS is set
high, integrated deglitch filter that rejects input
transients shorter than 5-ns, and negative voltage
handling for up to -2-V spikes for 200-ns on input and
output pins. All supplies have UVLO protection.

I/O
(1)
Description
I
Disables both driver outputs if asserted high, enables if set low or left open. This pin is pulled low
internally if left open. It is recommended to tie this pin to ground if not used to achieve better noise
immunity. Bypass using a ≈ 1-nF low ESR/ESL capacitor close to DIS pin when connecting to a µC with
distance.
DT
6
I
Programmable dead time function.
Tying DT to VCCI or leaving DT open allows the outputs to overlap. Placing a resistor (RDT) between DT
and GND adjusts dead time according to the equation: DT (in ns) = 10 × RDT (in kΩ). TI recommends
bypassing this pin with a ceramic capacitor, 2.2 nF or greater, to achieve better noise immunity. Place
this capacitor and RDT close to the DT pin.
GND

Creepage and clearance requirements should be applied according to the specific equipment isolation standards of an application. Care
should be taken to maintain the creepage and clearance distance of a board design to ensure that the mounting pads of the isolator on
the printed-circuit board do not reduce this distance. Creepage and clearance on a printed-circuit board become equal in certain cases.
Techniques such as inserting grooves, ribs, or both on a printed circuit board are used to help increase these specifications.
This coupler is suitable for basic electrical insulation only within the maximum operating ratings. Compliance with the safety ratings shall
be ensured by means of suitable protective circuits.
Testing is carried out in air or oil to determine the intrinsic surge immunity of the isolation barrier.
Apparent charge is electrical discharge caused by a partial discharge (pd).
All pins on each side of the barrier tied together creating a two-pin device.

The maximum safety temperature, TS, has the same value as the maximum junction temperature, TJ, specified for the device. The IS
and PS parameters represent the safety current and safety power respectively. The maximum limits of IS and PS should not be
exceeded. These limits vary with the ambient temperature, TA.
The junction-to-air thermal resistance, RθJA, in the Thermal Information table is that of a device installed on a high-K test board for
leaded surface-mount packages. Use these equations to calculate the value for each parameter:
TJ = TA + RθJA × P, where P is the power dissipated in the device.
TJ(max) = TS = TA + RθJA × PS, where TJ(max) is the maximum allowed junction temperature.
PS = IS × VI, where VI is the maximum input voltage.

7 Parameter Measurement Information
7.1 Minimum Pulses
A typical 5-ns deglitch filter removes small input pulses introduced by ground bounce or switching transients. An
input pulse with duration longer than tPWmin, typically 10 ns, must be asserted on INA or INB to guarantee an
output state change at OUTA or OUTB. See Figure 25 and Figure 26 for detailed information of the operation of
deglitch filter.

Figure 27 shows calculation of pulse width distortion (tPWD) and delay matching (tDM) from the propagation delays
of channels A and B. To measure delay matching, both inputs must be in phase, and the DT pin must be shorted
to VCCI to enable output overlap.

7.5 Programmable Dead Time
Tying DT to VCCI or leaving DT open allows the outputs to overlap. Placing a resistor (RDT) between DT and
GND adjusts dead time according to the equation: DT (in ns) = 10 × RDT (in kΩ). TI recommends bypassing this
pin with a ceramic capacitor, 2.2 nF or greater, to achieve better noise immunity. Place this capacitor and RDT
close to the DT pin.. For more details on dead time, refer to Programmable Dead Time (DT) Pin.

7.6 Power-up UVLO Delay to OUTPUT
Whenever the supply voltage VCCI crosses from below the falling threshold VVCCI_OFF to above the rising
threshold VVCCI_ON, and whenever the supply voltage VDDx crosses from below the falling threshold VVDDx_OFF to
above the rising threshold VVDDx_ON, there is a delay before the outputs begin responding to the inputs. For VCCI
UVLO this delay is defined as tVCCI+ to OUT, and is typically 40 µs. For VDDx UVLO this delay is defined as tVDD+ to
OUT, and is typically 22 µs. TI recommends allowing some margin before driving input signals, to ensure the
driver VCCI and VDD bias supplies are fully activated. Figure 31 and Figure 32 show the power-up UVLO delay
timing diagram for VCCI and VDD.
Whenever the supply voltage VCCI crosses below the falling threshold VVCCI_OFF, or VDDx crosses below the
falling threshold VVDDx_OFF, the outputs stop responding to the inputs and are held low within 1 µs. This
asymmetric delay is designed to ensure safe operation during VCCI or VDDx brownouts.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
In order to switch power transistors rapidly and reduce switching power losses, high-current gate drivers are
often placed between the output of control devices and the gates of power transistors. There are several
instances where controllers are not capable of delivering sufficient current to drive the gates of power transistors.
This is especially the case with digital controllers, since the input signal from the digital controller is often a 3.3-V
logic signal capable of only delivering a few mA.
The UCC21222 is a flexible dual gate driver which can be configured to fit a variety of power supply and motor
drive topologies, as well as drive several types of transistors. The UCC21222 has many features that allow it to
integrate well with control circuitry and protect the gates it drives such as: resistor-programmable dead time (DT)
control, disable pin, and under voltage lock out (UVLO) for both input and output supplies. The UCC21222 also
holds its outputs low when the inputs are left open or when the input pulse duration is too short. The driver inputs
are CMOS and TTL compatible for interfacing with digital and analog power controllers alike. Each channel is
controlled by its respective input pins (INA and INB), allowing full and independent control of each of the outputs.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 VDD, VCCI, and Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO)
The UCC21222 has an internal under voltage lock out (UVLO) protection feature on each supply voltage
between the VDD and VSS pins for both outputs. When the VDD bias voltage is lower than VVDD_ON at device
start-up or lower than VVDD_OFF after start-up, the VDD UVLO feature holds the channel output low, regardless of
the status of the input pins.
When the output stages of the driver are in an unbiased or UVLO condition, the driver outputs are held low by an
active clamp circuit that limits the voltage rise on the driver outputs (illustrated in Figure 34). In this condition, the
upper PMOS is resistively held off by RHi-Z while the lower NMOS gate is tied to the driver output through RCLAMP.
In this configuration, the output is effectively clamped to the threshold voltage of the lower NMOS device,
typically around 1.5V, regardless of whether bias power is available.

Figure 34. Simplified Representation of Active Pull Down Feature
The VDD UVLO protection has a hysteresis feature (VVDD_HYS). This hysteresis prevents chatter when there is
ground noise from the power supply. This also allows the device to accept small drops in bias voltage, which
commonly occurs when the device starts switching and operating current consumption increases suddenly.
The inputs of the UCC21222 also have an internal under voltage lock out (UVLO) protection feature. The inputs
cannot affect the outputs unless the supply voltage VCCI exceeds VVCCI_ON on start-up. The outputs are held low
and cannot respond to inputs when the supply voltage VCCI drops below VVCCI_OFF after start-up. Like the UVLO
for VDD, there is hystersis (VVCCI_HYS) to ensure stable operation.

"X" means L, H or left open. For improved noise immunity, TI recommends connecting INA, INB, and DIS to GND, and DT to VCCI,
when these pins are not used.
8.3.3 Input Stage
The input pins (INA, INB, and DIS) of the UCC21222 are based on a TTL and CMOS compatible input-threshold
logic that is totally isolated from the VDD supply voltage of the output channels. The input pins are easy to drive
with logic-level control signals (such as those from 3.3-V microcontrollers), since the UCC21222 has a typical
high threshold (VINAH) of 1.8 V and a typical low threshold of 1 V, which vary little with temperature (see
Figure 11 and Figure 13). A wide hysterisis (VINA_HYS) of 0.8 V makes for good noise immunity and stable
operation. If any of the inputs are ever left open, internal pull-down resistors force the pin low. These resistors
are typically 200 kΩ for INA/B and 50 kΩ for DIS (see Functional Block Diagram). TI recommends grounding any
unused inputs.
The amplitude of any signal applied to the inputs must never be at a voltage higher than VCCI.

8.3.4 Output Stage
The UCC21222 output stage features a pull-up structure which delivers the highest peak-source current when it
is most needed: during the Miller plateau region of the power-switch turn on transition (when the power switch
drain or collector voltage experiences dV/dt). The output stage pull-up structure features a P-channel MOSFET
and an additional pull-up N-channel MOSFET in parallel. The function of the N-channel MOSFET is to provide a
boost in the peak-sourcing current, enabling fast turn on. This is accomplished by briefly turning on the Nchannel MOSFET during a narrow instant when the output is changing states from low to high. The on-resistance
of this N-channel MOSFET (RNMOS) is approximately 1.47 Ω when activated.
The ROH parameter is a DC measurement and it is representative of the on-resistance of the P-channel device
only. This is because the pull-up N-channel device is held in the off state in DC condition and is turned on only
for a brief instant when the output is changing states from low to high. Therefore the effective resistance of the
UCC21222 pull-up stage during this brief turn-on phase is much lower than what is represented by the ROH
parameter.
The pull-down structure of the UCC21222 is composed of an N-channel MOSFET. The ROL parameter, which is
also a DC measurement, is representative of the impedance of the pull-down state in the device. Both outputs of
the UCC21222 are capable of delivering 4-A peak source and 6-A peak sink current pulses. The output voltage
swings between VDD and VSS for rail-to-rail operation.

8.4.1 Disable Pin
When the DIS pin is set high, both outputs are shut down simultaneously. When the DIS pin is set low or left
open, the UCC21222 operates normally. The DIS circuit logic structure is nearly identical compared to INA or
INB, and the propagation delay is similar (see Figure 20). The DIS pin is only functional (and necessary) when
VCCI stays above the UVLO threshold. It is recommended to tie this pin to GND if the DIS pin is not used to
achieve better noise immunity.
8.4.2 Programmable Dead Time (DT) Pin
The UCC21222 allows the user to adjust dead time (DT) in the following ways:
8.4.2.1 DT Pin Tied to VCCI or DT Pin Left Open
Outputs completely match inputs, so no minimum dead time is asserted. This allows the outputs to overlap. TI
recommends connecting this pin directly to VCCI if it is not used to achieve better noise immunity.
8.4.2.2 Connecting a Programming Resistor between DT and GND Pins
Program tDT by placing a resistor, RDT, between the DT pin and GND. The appropriate RDT value can be
determined from:
tDT | 10 u RDT
where
•
•
tDT is the programmed dead time, in nanoseconds.
RDT is the value of resistance between DT pin and GND, in kilo-ohms.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
The steady state voltage at the DT pin is about 0.8 V. RDT programs a small current at this pin, which sets the
dead time. As the value of RDT increases, the current sourced by the DT pin decreases. The DT pin current will
be less than 10 µA when RDT = 100 kΩ. For larger values of RDT, TI recommends placing RDT and a ceramic
capacitor, 2.2 nF or greater, as close to the DT pin as possible to achieve greater noise immunity and better
dead time matching between both channels.
The falling edge of an input signal initiates the programmed dead time for the other signal. The programmed
dead time is the minimum enforced duration in which both outputs are held low by the driver. The outputs may
also be held low for a duration greater than the programmed dead time, if the INA and INB signals include a
dead time duration greater than the programmed minimum. If both inputs are high simultaneously, both outputs
will immediately be set low. This feature is used to prevent shoot-through in half-bridge applications, and it does
not affect the programmed dead time setting for normal operation. Various driver dead time logic operating
conditions are illustrated and explained in Figure 37.

Condition C: INB goes low, INA is still low. INB sets OUTB low immediately and assigns the programmed dead
time for OUTA. In this case, the input signal dead time is longer than the programmed dead time. When INA
goes high after the duration of the input signal dead time, it immediately sets OUTA high.
Condition D: INA goes low, INB is still low. INA sets OUTA low immediately and assigns the programmed dead
time to OUTB. In this case, the input signal dead time is longer than the programmed dead time. When INB goes
high after the duration of the input signal dead time, it immediately sets OUTB high.
Condition E: INA goes high, while INB and OUTB are still high. To avoid overshoot, OUTB is immediately pulled
low. After some time OUTB goes low and assigns the programmed dead time to OUTA. OUTB is already low.
After the programmed dead time, OUTA is allowed to go high.
Condition F: INB goes high, while INA and OUTA are still high. To avoid overshoot, OUTA is immediately pulled
low. After some time OUTA goes low and assigns the programmed dead time to OUTB. OUTA is already low.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The UCC21222 effectively combines both isolation and buffer-drive functions. The flexible, universal capability of
the UCC21222 (with up to 5.5-V VCCI and 18-V VDDA/VDDB) allows the device to be used as a low-side, highside, high-side/low-side or half-bridge driver for MOSFETs, IGBTs or GaN transistor. With integrated
components, advanced protection features (UVLO, dead time, and disable) and optimized switching
performance, the UCC21222 enables designers to build smaller, more robust designs for enterprise, telecom,
automotive, and industrial applications with a faster time to market.
9.2 Typical Application
The circuit in Figure 38 shows a reference design with the UCC21222 driving a typical half-bridge configuration
which could be used in several popular power converter topologies such as synchronous buck, synchronous
boost, half-bridge/full bridge isolated topologies, and 3-phase motor drive applications.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Custom Design With WEBENCH® Tools
Click here to create a custom design using the UCC21222 device with the WEBENCH® Power Designer.
1. Start by entering the input voltage (VIN), output voltage (VOUT), and output current (IOUT) requirements.
2. Optimize the design for key parameters such as efficiency, footprint, and cost using the optimizer dial.
3. Compare the generated design with other possible solutions from Texas Instruments.
The WEBENCH Power Designer provides a customized schematic along with a list of materials with real-time
pricing and component availability.
In most cases, these actions are available:
• Run electrical simulations to see important waveforms and circuit performance
• Run thermal simulations to understand board thermal performance
• Export customized schematic and layout into popular CAD formats
• Print PDF reports for the design, and share the design with colleagues
Get more information about WEBENCH tools at www.ti.com/WEBENCH.
9.2.2.2 Designing INA/INB Input Filter
It is recommended that users avoid shaping the signals to the gate driver in an attempt to slow down (or delay)
the signal at the output. However, a small input RIN-CIN filter can be used to filter out the ringing introduced by
non-ideal layout or long PCB traces.
Such a filter should use an RIN in the range of 0 Ω to 100 Ω and a CIN between 10 pF and 100 pF. In the
example, an RIN = 51 Ω and a CIN = 33 pF are selected, with a corner frequency of approximately 100 MHz.
When selecting these components, it is important to pay attention to the trade-off between good noise immunity
and propagation delay.
9.2.2.3 Select Dead Time Resistor and Capacitor
From Equation 1, a 20-kΩ resistor is selected to set the dead time to 200 ns. A 2.2-nF capacitor is placed in
parallel close to the DT pin to improve noise immunity.
9.2.2.4 Select External Bootstrap Diode and its Series Resistor
The bootstrap capacitor is charged by VDD through an external bootstrap diode every cycle when the low side
transistor turns on. Charging the capacitor involves high-peak currents, and therefore transient power dissipation
in the bootstrap diode may be significant. Conduction loss also depends on the diode’s forward voltage drop.
Both the diode conduction losses and reverse recovery losses contribute to the total losses in the gate driver
circuit.

SLUSCX6A – FEBRUARY 2018 – REVISED APRIL 2018
When selecting external bootstrap diodes, it is recommended that one chose high voltage, fast recovery diodes
or SiC Schottky diodes with a low forward voltage drop and low junction capacitance in order to minimize the loss
introduced by reverse recovery and related grounding noise bouncing. In the example, the DC-link voltage is 400
VDC. The voltage rating of the bootstrap diode should be higher than the DC-link voltage with a good margin.
Therefore, a 600-V ultrafast diode, MURA160T3G, is chosen in this example.
A bootstrap resistor, RBOOT, is used to reduce the inrush current in DBOOT and limit the ramp up slew rate of
voltage of VDDA-VSSA during each switching cycle, especially when the VSSA(SW) pin has an excessive
negative transient voltage. The recommended value for RBOOT is between 1 Ω and 20 Ω depending on the diode
used. In the example, a current limiting resistor of 2.2 Ω is selected to limit the inrush current of bootstrap diode.
The estimated worst case peak current through DBoot is,

9.2.2.5 Gate Driver Output Resistor
The external gate driver resistors, RON/ROFF, are used to:
1. Limit ringing caused by parasitic inductances/capacitances.
2. Limit ringing caused by high voltage/current switching dv/dt, di/dt, and body-diode reverse recovery.
3. Fine-tune gate drive strength, i.e. peak sink and source current to optimize the switching loss.
4. Reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
As mentioned in Output Stage, the UCC21222 has a pull-up structure with a P-channel MOSFET and an
additional pull-up N-channel MOSFET in parallel. The combined peak source current is 4 A. Therefore, the peak
source current can be predicted with:

Therefore, the high-side and low-side peak sink current is 5.0 A and 5.4A respectively.
Importantly, the estimated peak current is also influenced by PCB layout and load capacitance. Parasitic
inductance in the gate driver loop can slow down the peak gate drive current and introduce overshoot and
undershoot. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the gate driver loop should be minimized. On the other
hand, the peak source/sink current is dominated by loop parasitics when the load capacitance (CISS) of the power
transistor is very small (typically less than 1 nF), because the rising and falling time is too small and close to the
parasitic ringing period.
9.2.2.6 Estimating Gate Driver Power Loss
The total loss, PG, in the gate driver subsystem includes the power losses of the UCC21222 (PGD) and the power
losses in the peripheral circuitry, such as the external gate drive resistor. Bootstrap diode loss is not included in
PG and not discussed in this section.
PGD is the key power loss which determines the thermal safety-related limits of the UCC21222, and it can be
estimated by calculating losses from several components.
The first component is the static power loss, PGDQ, which includes quiescent power loss on the driver as well as
driver self-power consumption when operating with a certain switching frequency. PGDQ is measured on the
bench with no load connected to OUTA and OUTB at a given VCCI, VDDA/VDDB, switching frequency and
ambient temperature. Figure 5 and Figure 8 show the operating current consumption vs. operating frequency
with no load. In this example, VVCCI = 5 V and VVDD = 12 V. The current on each power supply, with INA/INB
switching from 0 V to 3.3 V at 100 kHz is measured to be IVCCI ≈ 2.5 mA, and IVDDA = IVDDB ≈ 1.5 mA. Therefore,
the PGDQ can be calculated with
PGDQ
VVCCI u IVCCI
VVDDA u IDDA
VVDDB u IDDB
50mW
(11)
The second component is switching operation loss, PGDO, with a given load capacitance which the driver charges
and discharges the load during each switching cycle. Total dynamic loss due to load switching, PGSW, can be
estimated with
PGSW
2 u VDD u QG u fSW
where
•
QG is the gate charge of the power transistor.
(12)
If a split rail is used to turn on and turn off, then VDD is going to be equal to difference between the positive rail
to the negative rail.
So, for this example application:

QG represents the total gate charge of the power transistor switching 480 V at 14 A provided by the datasheet,
and is subject to change with different testing conditions. The UCC21222 gate driver loss on the output stage,
PGDO, is part of PGSW. PGDO will be equal to PGSW if the external gate driver resistances are zero, and all the gate
driver loss is dissipated inside the UCC21222. If there are external turn-on and turn-off resistances, the total loss
will be distributed between the gate driver pull-up/down resistances and external gate resistances. Importantly,
the pull-up/down resistance is a linear and fixed resistance if the source/sink current is not saturated to 4 A/6 A,
however, it will be non-linear if the source/sink current is saturated. Therefore, PGDO is different in these two
scenarios.

VOUTA/B(t) is the gate driver OUTA and OUTB pin voltage during the turn on and off transient, and it can be
simplified that a constant current source (4 A at turn-on and 6 A at turn-off) is charging/discharging a load
capacitor. Then, the VOUTA/B(t) waveform will be linear and the TR_Sys and TF_Sys can be easily predicted.
(16)
For some scenarios, if only one of the pull-up or pull-down circuits is saturated and another one is not, the PGDO
will be a combination of Case 1 and Case 2, and the equations can be easily identified for the pull-up and pulldown based on the above discussion. Therefore, total gate driver loss dissipated in the gate driver UCC21222
PGD, is:

where

•
TJ is the junction temperature.
TC is the UCC21222 case-top temperature measured with a thermocouple or some other instrument.
ψJT is the junction-to-top characterization parameter from the Thermal Information table.
(18)
Using the junction-to-top characterization parameter (ΨJT) instead of the junction-to-case thermal resistance
(RΘJC) can greatly improve the accuracy of the junction temperature estimation. The majority of the thermal
energy of most ICs is released into the PCB through the package leads, whereas only a small percentage of the
total energy is released through the top of the case (where thermocouple measurements are usually conducted).
RΘJC can only be used effectively when most of the thermal energy is released through the case, such as with
metal packages or when a heatsink is applied to an IC package. In all other cases, use of RΘJC will inaccurately

estimate the true junction temperature. ΨJT is experimentally derived by assuming that the amount of energy
leaving through the top of the IC will be similar in both the testing environment and the application environment.
As long as the recommended layout guidelines are observed, junction temperature estimates can be made
accurately to within a few degrees Celsius. For more information, see the Layout Guidelines and Semiconductor
and IC Package Thermal Metrics application report.
9.2.2.8 Selecting VCCI, VDDA/B Capacitor
Bypass capacitors for VCCI, VDDA, and VDDB are essential for achieving reliable performance. It is
recommended that one choose low ESR and low ESL surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) with
sufficient voltage ratings, temperature coefficients and capacitance tolerances. Importantly, DC bias on an MLCC
will impact the actual capacitance value. For example, a 25-V, 1-µF X7R capacitor is measured to be only 500
nF when a DC bias of 15 VDC is applied.
9.2.2.8.1 Selecting a VCCI Capacitor
A bypass capacitor connected to VCCI supports the transient current needed for the primary logic and the total
current consumption, which is only a few mA. Therefore, a 25-V MLCC with over 100 nF is recommended for this
application. If the bias power supply output is a relatively long distance from the VCCI pin, a tantalum or
electrolytic capacitor, with a value over 1 µF, should be placed in parallel with the MLCC.
9.2.2.8.2 Selecting a VDDA (Bootstrap) Capacitor
A VDDA capacitor, also referred to as a bootstrap capacitor in bootstrap power supply configurations, allows for
gate drive current transients up to 6 A, and needs to maintain a stable gate drive voltage for the power transistor.
The total charge needed per switching cycle can be estimated with

115nC
0.5V
230nF
where
•
ΔVVDDA is the voltage ripple at VDDA, which is 0.5 V in this example.
(20)
In practice, the value of CBoot is greater than the calculated value. This allows for the capacitance shift caused by
the DC bias voltage and for situations where the power stage would otherwise skip pulses due to load transients.
Therefore, it is recommended to include a safety-related margin in the CBoot value and place it as close to the
VDD and VSS pins as possible. A 50-V 1-µF capacitor is chosen in this example.
CBoot =1 F
(21)
To further lower the AC impedance for a wide frequency range, it is recommended to have bypass capacitor with
a low capacitance value, in this example a 100 nF, in parallel with CBoot to optimize the transient performance.
NOTE
Too large CBOOT is not good. CBOOT may not be charged within the first few cycles and
VBOOT could stay below UVLO. As a result, the high-side FET does not follow input signal
command. Also during initial CBOOT charging cycles, the bootstrap diode has highest
reverse recovery current and losses.

9.2.2.8.3 Select a VDDB Capacitor
Chanel B has the same current requirements as Channel A, Therefore, a VDDB capacitor (Shown as CVDD in
Figure 38) is needed. In this example with a bootstrap configuration, the VDDB capacitor will also supply current
for VDDA through the bootstrap diode. A 50-V, 10-µF MLCC and a 50-V, 220-nF MLCC are chosen for CVDD. If
the bias power supply output is a relatively long distance from the VDDB pin, a tantalum or electrolytic capacitor
with a value over 10 µF, should be used in parallel with CVDD.
9.2.2.9 Application Circuits with Output Stage Negative Bias
When parasitic inductances are introduced by non-ideal PCB layout and long package leads (e.g. TO-220 and
TO-247 type packages), there could be ringing in the gate-source drive voltage of the power transistor during
high di/dt and dv/dt switching. If the ringing is over the threshold voltage, there is the risk of unintended turn-on
and even shoot-through. Applying a negative bias on the gate drive is a popular way to keep such ringing below
the threshold. Below are a few examples of implementing negative gate drive bias.
Figure 39 shows the first example with negative bias turn-off on the channel-A driver using a Zener diode on the
isolated power supply output stage. The negative bias is set by the Zener diode voltage. If the isolated power
supply, VA, is equal to 17 V, the turn-off voltage will be –5.1 V and turn-on voltage will be 17 V – 5.1 V ≈ 12 V.
The channel-B driver circuit is the same as channel-A, therefore, this configuration needs two power supplies for
a half-bridge configuration, and there will be steady state power consumption from RZ.

Figure 40 shows another example which uses two supplies (or single-input-double-output power supply). Power
supply VA+ determines the positive drive output voltage and VA– determines the negative turn-off voltage. The
configuration for channel B is the same as channel A. This solution requires more power supplies than the first
example, however, it provides more flexibility when setting the positive and negative rail voltages.

The last example, shown in Figure 41, is a single power supply configuration and generates negative bias
through a Zener diode in the gate drive loop. The benefit of this solution is that it only uses one power supply and
the bootstrap power supply can be used for the high side drive. This design requires the least cost and design
effort among the three solutions. However, this solution has limitations:
1. The negative gate drive bias is not only determined by the Zener diode, but also by the duty cycle, which
means the negative bias voltage will change when the duty cycle changes. Therefore, converters with a fixed
duty cycle (~50%) such as variable frequency resonant convertors or phase shift convertors which favor this
solution.
2. The high side VDDA-VSSA must maintain enough voltage to stay in the recommended power supply range,
which means the low side switch must turn-on or have free-wheeling current on the body (or anti-parallel)
diode for a certain period during each switching cycle to refresh the bootstrap capacitor. Therefore, a 100%
duty cycle for the high side is not possible unless there is a dedicated power supply for the high side, like in
the other two example circuits.

9.2.3 Application Curves
Figure 42 and Figure 43 shows the bench test waveforms for the design example shown in Figure 38 under
these conditions: VCC = 5.0 V, VDD = 12 V, fSW = 100 kHz, VDC-Link = 400 V.
Channel 1 (Blue): Gate-source signal on the high side power transistor.
Channel 2 (Cyan): Gate-source signal on the low side power transistor.
Channel 3 (Pink): INA pin signal.
Channel 4 (Green): INB pin signal.
In Figure 42, INA and INB are sent complimentary 3.3-V, 20%/80% duty-cycle signals. The gate drive signals on
the power transistor have a 200-ns dead time with 400V high voltage on the DC-Link, shown in the measurement
section of Figure 42. Note that with high voltage present, lower bandwidth differential probes are required, which
limits the achievable accuracy of the measurement.
Figure 43 shows a zoomed-in version of the waveform of Figure 42, with measurements for propagation delay
and dead time. Importantly, the output waveform is measured between the power transistors’ gate and source
pins, and is not measured directly from the driver OUTA and OUTB pins.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The recommended input supply voltage (VCCI) for the UCC21222 is between 3 V and 5.5 V. The output bias
supply voltage (VDDA/VDDB) ranges from 9.2 V to 18 V. The lower end of this bias supply range is governed by
the internal under voltage lockout (UVLO) protection feature of each device. VDD and VCCI must not fall below
their respective UVLO thresholds during normal operation. (For more information on UVLO see VDD, VCCI, and
Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO)). The upper end of the VDDA/VDDB range depends on the maximum gate
voltage of the power device being driven by the UCC21222. The recommended maximum VDDA/VDDB is 18 V.
A local bypass capacitor should be placed between the VDD and VSS pins, to supply current when the output
goes high into a capacitive load. This capacitor should be positioned as close to the device as possible to
minimize parasitic impedance. A low ESR, ceramic surface mount capacitor is recommended. If the bypass
capacitor impedance is too large, resistive and inductive parasitics could cause the supply voltage seen at the IC
pins to dip below the UVLO threshold unexpectedly. To filter high frequency noise between VDD and VSS, it can
be helpful to place a second capacitor with lower impedance at higher frequency. As an example, the primary
bypass capacitor could be 1 µF, with a secondary high frequency bypass capacitor of 100 pF.
Similarly, a bypass capacitor should also be placed between the VCCI and GND pins. Given the small amount of
current drawn by the logic circuitry within the input side of the UCC21222, this bypass capacitor has a minimum
recommended value of 100 nF.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Consider these PCB layout guidelines for in order to achieve optimum performance for the UCC21222.
11.1.1 Component Placement Considerations
• Low-ESR and low-ESL capacitors must be connected close to the device between the VCCI and GND pins
and between the VDD and VSS pins to support high peak currents when turning on the external power
transistor.
• To avoid large negative transients on the switch node VSSA (HS) pin in bridge configurations, the parasitic
inductances between the source of the top transistor and the source of the bottom transistor must be
minimized.
• To improve noise immunity when driving the DIS pin from a distant microcontroller, TI recommends adding a
small bypass capacitor, ≥ 1000 pF, between the DIS pin and GND.
• If the dead time feature is used, TI recommends placing the programming resistor RDT and capacitor close to
the DT pin of the UCC21222 to prevent noise from unintentionally coupling to the internal dead time circuit.
The capacitor should be ≥ 2.2 nF.
11.1.2 Grounding Considerations
• It is essential to confine the high peak currents that charge and discharge the transistor gates to a minimal
physical area. This will decrease the loop inductance and minimize noise on the gate terminals of the
transistors. The gate driver must be placed as close as possible to the transistors.
• Pay attention to high current path that includes the bootstrap capacitor, bootstrap diode, local VSSBreferenced bypass capacitor, and the low-side transistor body/anti-parallel diode. The bootstrap capacitor is
recharged on a cycle-by-cycle basis through the bootstrap diode by the VDD bypass capacitor. This
recharging occurs in a short time interval and involves a high peak current. Minimizing this loop length and
area on the circuit board is important for ensuring reliable operation.
11.1.3 High-Voltage Considerations
• To ensure isolation performance between the primary and secondary side, avoid placing any PCB traces or
copper below the driver device. A PCB cutout is recommended in order to prevent contamination that may
compromise the isolation performance.
• For half-bridge or high-side/low-side configurations, maximize the clearance distance of the PCB layout
between the high and low-side PCB traces.
11.1.4 Thermal Considerations
• A large amount of power may be dissipated by the UCC21222 if the driving voltage is high, the load is heavy,
or the switching frequency is high (refer to Estimating Gate Driver Power Loss for more details). Proper PCB
layout can help dissipate heat from the device to the PCB and minimize junction to board thermal impedance
(θJB).
• Increasing the PCB copper connecting to VDDA, VDDB, VSSA and VSSB pins is recommended, with priority
on maximizing the connection to VSSA and VSSB (see Figure 45 and Figure 46). However, high voltage PCB
considerations mentioned above must be maintained.
• If there are multiple layers in the system, it is also recommended to connect the VDDA, VDDB, VSSA and
VSSB pins to internal ground or power planes through multiple vias of adequate size. Ensure that no traces
or copper from different high-voltage planes overlap.

Figure 45 and Figure 46 shows top and bottom layer traces and copper.
NOTE
There are no PCB traces or copper between the primary and secondary side, which
ensures isolation performance.
PCB traces between the high-side and low-side gate drivers in the output stage are increased to maximize the
creepage distance for high-voltage operation, which will also minimize cross-talk between the switching node
VSSA (SW), where high dv/dt may exist, and the low-side gate drive due to the parasitic capacitance coupling.
