UCC27524A
SLUSBP4B – AUGUST 2013 – REVISED OCTOBER 2014
UCC27524A Dual 5-A, High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Driver With Negative Input Voltage
Capability
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
•
The UCC27524A device is a dual-channel, highspeed, low-side, gate-driver device capable of
effectively driving MOSFET and IGBT power
switches. The UCC27524A is a variant of the
UCC2752x family. The UCC27524A adds the ability
to handle –5 V directly at the input pins for increased
robustness. The UCC27524A is a dual non-inverting
driver. Using a design that inherently minimizes
shoot-through current, the UCC27524A is capable of
delivering high-peak current pulses of up to 5-A
source and 5-A sink into capacitive loads along with
rail-to-rail drive capability and extremely small
propagation delay typically 13 ns. In addition, the
drivers feature matched internal propagation delays
between the two channels which are very well suited
for applications requiring dual-gate drives with critical
timing, such as synchronous rectifiers. This also
enables connecting two channels in parallel to
effectively increase current-drive capability or driving
two switches in parallel with a single input signal. The
input pin thresholds are based on TTL and CMOS
compatible low-voltage logic, which is fixed and
independent of the VDD supply voltage. Wide
hysteresis between the high and low thresholds offers
excellent noise immunity.

5 Description (Continued)
For safety purpose, internal pull-up and pull-down resistors on the input pins of the UCC27524A ensure that
outputs are held LOW when input pins are in floating condition. UCC27524A features Enable pins (ENA and
ENB) to have better control of the operation of the driver applications. The pins are internally pulled up to VDD
for active-high logic and are left open for standard operation.
UCC27524A family of devices are available in SOIC-8 (D), VSSOP-8 with exposed pad (DGN) packages.

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific JEDECstandard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA , using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

The UCC27524A products feature very low quiescent IDD currents. The typical operating-supply current in UVLO
state and fully-on state (under static and switching conditions) are summarized in Figure 3, Figure 4 and
Figure 5. The IDD current when the device is fully on and outputs are in a static state (DC high or DC low, see
Figure 4) represents lowest quiescent IDD current when all the internal logic circuits of the device are fully
operational. The total supply current is the sum of the quiescent IDD current, the average IOUT current because of
switching, and finally any current related to pullup resistors on the enable pins and inverting input pins. For
example when the inverting input pins are pulled low additional current is drawn from the VDD supply through the
pullup resistors (see though ). Knowing the operating frequency (fSW) and the MOSFET gate (QG) charge at the
drive voltage being used, the average IOUT current can be calculated as product of QG and fSW.
A complete characterization of the IDD current as a function of switching frequency at different VDD bias voltages
under 1.8-nF switching load in both channels is provided in Figure 15. The strikingly linear variation and close
correlation with theoretical value of average IOUT indicates negligible shoot-through inside the gate-driver device
attesting to its high-speed characteristics.
8.3.2 Input Stage
The input pins of UCC27524A gate-driver devices are based on a TTL and CMOS compatible input-threshold
logic that is independent of the VDD supply voltage. With typically high threshold = 2.1 V and typically low
threshold = 1.2 V, the logic level thresholds are conveniently driven with PWM control signals derived from 3.3-V
and 5-V digital power-controller devices. Wider hysteresis (typ 0.9 V) offers enhanced noise immunity compared
to traditional TTL logic implementations, where the hysteresis is typically less than 0.5 V. UCC27524A devices
also feature tight control of the input pin threshold voltage levels which eases system design considerations and
ensures stable operation across temperature (refer to Figure 7). The very low input capacitance on these pins
reduces loading and increases switching speed.

Feature Description (continued)
The UCC27524A device features an important safety feature wherein, whenever any of the input pins is in a
floating condition, the output of the respective channel is held in the low state. This is achieved using GND
pulldown resistors on all the non-inverting input pins (INA, INB), as shown in the device block diagrams.
The input stage of each driver is driven by a signal with a short rise or fall time. This condition is satisfied in
typical power supply applications, where the input signals are provided by a PWM controller or logic gates with
fast transition times (
