This driver is a 100-V boot voltage, high-side, low-side driver with 2.5-A peak source and 3.5-A sink current for driving two Nchannel MOSFETs. The same board can be used to evaluate other pin-to-pin compatible parts in the supported package. The UCC27288 has low propagation delay and low propagation delay matching between the high- and low-side rising and falling edges of the driver outputs for reliable timing of the gatedrive signals. The UCC27288 inputs can tolerate signals as high as 16 V regardless of the VDD voltage which enhances device robustness. The UCC27288 driver includes an enable function which enables the driver outputs when pulled high, and disables the driver into a very low standby current mode when low. The UCC27288 also includes an interlock feature which sets both LO and HO driver outputs low when both LI and HI inputs are high at the same time. This prevents turning on the high-side and low-side MOSFETs at the same time enhancing robustness of the power train design. 2 Description The EVM is developed in such a way that the UCC27288 driver performance can be evaluated and compared to data sheet parameters, or externally connected to power devices with provisions for source and sink gate-resistance flexibility. The UCC27288EVM evaluation board uses surface-mount test points allowing connection to LI, HI, VDD, and HB inputs. A variety of other test points are available for probing the UCC27288. The input bias is configured such that the VHB-VHS high-side bias can be sourced from VCC, or an external additional bias can be added to provide VHB-VHS directly. The high- and low-side driver output returns are separated on HS and GND respectively to allow evaluation of the UCC27288 HS negative voltage capabilities. For detailed device information, see the UCC27288 120-V Half-Bridge Driver without Bootstrap Diode Data Sheet. 2.1 Features The EVM supports the following features: • EVM for the low-voltage features of the UCC27288 gate driver • 6-V to 16-V VCC power supply range • TTL-compatible inputs • PCB layout optimized for bias supply bypassing cap, gate-drive resistance selection • Capacitive load, external gate drive resistor and diode for gate drive network evaluation • Allows quick verification of most of the data sheet parameters • Test points allow probing all the key pins of the UCC27288 2 Using the UCC27288EVM SLUUCB3 – June 2020 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2020, Texas Instruments Incorporated Description www.ti.com 2.2 I/O Description Table 1 details the connection descriptions.
