UCC23513-Q1 4-A Source, 5-A Sink, 5.7-kVRMS Reinforced, Opto-Compatible,
Single-Channel Isolated Gate Driver
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The UCC23513-Q1 driver are opto-compatible, singlechannel, isolated gate drivers for IGBTs, MOSFETs
and SiC MOSFETs, with 4.5-A source and 5.3-A sink
peak output current and 5.7-kVRMS isolation rating.
The high supply voltage range of 33-V allows the
use of bipolar supplies to effectively drive IGBTs
and SiC power FETs. UCC23513-Q1 can drive both
low side and high side power FETs and bring
significant performance and reliability upgrades over
opto-coupler based gate drivers while maintaining
pin-to-pin compatibility in both schematic and layout
design. Performance highlights include high common
mode transient immunity (CMTI), low propagation
delay, and small pulse width distortion. Tight process
control results in small part-to-part skew. The input
stage is an emulated diode (e-diode) which means
long term reliability and excellent aging characteristics
compared to traditional LEDs found in optocoupler
gate drivers. High performance and reliability makes
them ideal for use in automotivemotor drives such
as the traction inverter, on-board chargers, DC
charging stations, and automotive HVAC and heating
systems. The higher operating temperature opens
up opportunities for applications not supported by
traditional optocouplers.

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 safe electrical insulation only within the safety 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).

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, RqJA, 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 + RqJA ´ P, where P is the power dissipated in the device. TJ(max) = TS = TA + RqJA ´ PS, where TJ(max) is
the maximum allowed junction temperature. PS = IS ´ VI , where VI is the maximum supply voltage.

width 150 kV/us. The e-diode input stage along with capacitive isolation technology gives
UCC23513-Q1 several performance advantages over standard opto isolated gate drivers. They are as follows:
1. Since the e-diode does not use light emission for its operation, the reliability and aging characteristics of
UCC23513-Q1 are naturally superior to those of standard opto isolated gate drivers.
2. Higher ambient operating temperature range of 125°C, compared to only 105°C for most opto isolated gate
drivers
3. The e-diode forward voltage drop has less part-to-part variation and smaller variation across temperature.
Hence, the operating point of the input stage is more stable and predictable across different parts and
operating temperature.
4. Higher common mode transient immunity than opto isolated gate drivers
5. Smaller propagation delay than opto isolated gate drivers
6. Due to superior process controls achievable in capacitive isolation compared to opto isolation, there is less
part-to-part skew in the prop delay, making the system design simpler and more robust
7. Smaller pulse width distortion than opto isolated gate drivers
The signal across the isolation has an on-off keying (OOK) modulation scheme to transmit the digital data across
a silicon dioxide based isolation barrier (see Figure 8-1). The transmitter sends a high-frequency carrier across
the barrier to represent one digital state and sends no signal to represent the other digital state. The receiver
demodulates the signal after advanced signal conditioning and produces the output through a buffer stage. The
UCC23513-Q1 also incorporates advanced circuit techniques to maximize the CMTI performance and minimize
the radiated emissions from the high frequency carrier and IO buffer switching. Figure 8-2 shows conceptual
detail of how the OOK scheme works.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Power Supply
Since the input stage is an emulated diode, no power supply is needed at the input.
The output supply, VCC, supports a voltage range from 14V to 33V. For operation with bipolar supplies, the
power device is turned off with a negative voltage on the gate with respect to the emitter or source. This
configuration prevents the power device from unintentionally turning on because of current induced from the
Miller effect. The typical values of the VCC and VEE output supplies for bipolar operation are 15V and -8V with
respect to GND for IGBTs, and 20V and -5V for SiC MOSFETs.
For operation with unipolar supply, the VCC supply is connected to 15V with respect to GND for IGBTs, and 20V
for SiC MOSFETs. The VEE supply is connected to 0V.
8.3.2 Input Stage
The input stage of UCC23513-Q1 is simply the e-diode and therefore has an Anode (Pin 1) and a Cathode
(Pin 3). Pin 2 has no internal connection and can be left open or connected to ground. The input stage does
not have a power and ground pin. When the e-diode is forward biased by applying a positive voltage to the
Anode with respect to the Cathode, a forward current IF flows into the e-diode. The forward voltage drop across
the e-diode is 2.1V (typ). An external resistor should be used to limit the forward current. The recommended
range for the forward current is 7mA to 16mA. When IF exceeds the threshold current IFLH(2.8mA typ.) a high
frequency signal is transmitted across the isolation barrier through the high voltage SiO2 capacitors. The HF
signal is detected by the receiver and VOUT is driven high. See Section 9.2.2.1 for information on selecting the
input resistor. The dynamic impedance of the e-diode is very small( IFLH)

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, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
UCC23513-Q1 is a single channel, isolated gate driver with opto-compatible input for power semiconductor
devices, such as MOSFETs, IGBTs, or SiC MOSFETs. It is intended for use in applications such as motor
control, industrial inverters, and switched-mode power supplies. It differs from standard opto isolated gate drivers
as it does not have an LED input stage. Instead of an LED, it has an emulated diode (e-diode). To turn the
e-diode "ON", a forward current in the range of 7mA to 16mA should be driven into the Anode. This will drive the
gate driver output High and turn on the power FET. Typically, MCU's are not capable of providing the required
forward current. Hence a buffer has to be used between the MCU and the input stage of UCC23513-Q1. Typical
buffer power supplies are either 5V or 3.3V. A resistor is needed between the buffer and the input stage of
the UCC23513-Q1 to limit the current. It is simple, but important to choose the right value of resistance. The
resistor tolerance, buffer supply voltage tolerance and output impedance of the buffer, have to be considered in
the resistor selection. This will ensure that the e-diode forward current stays within the recommended range of
7mA to 16mA. Detailed design recommendations are given in the Section 9.1. The current driven input stage
offers excellent noise immunity that is need in high power motor drive systems, especially in cases where the
MCU cannot be located close to the isolated gate driver. UCC23513-Q1 offers best in class CMTI performance
of >150kV/us at 1500V common mode voltages.
The e-diode is capable of 25mA continuous in the forward direction. The forward voltage drop of the e-diode
has a very tight part to part variation (1.8V min to 2.4V max). The temperature coefficient of the forward drop
is
