UCC5390ECDWV Isolated Gate Driver Evaluation Module
User's Guide
This manual describes the UCC5390ECDWV evaluation module (EVM). The UCC5390ECDWVEVM
allows designers to evaluate AC and DC performance of the UCC53x0 family of devices (split output,
Miller clamp, and UVLO) in a DWV package with user-installed IGBT in the standard TO-247 package.
WARNING
Although these devices provide galvanic isolation of up to 5000 V,
the EVM cannot be used for isolation voltage testing. Voltage
exceeding the EVM ratings (VCC1 > 15 V, VCC2 – VEE2 > 33 V, or IGBT
collector-emitter voltage VCE > 50 V) can damage the EVM resulting
in personal injury.

Overview

Overview
The UCC53x0xDWV devices are 5-kVRMS, IGBT and MOSFET gate drivers with split outputs (UCC53x0S),
Miller clamp (UCC53x0M), and UVLO (UCC53x0E) features. These gate drivers are capable of sourcing
and sinking 1.1 A to 10 A of peak current, depending on the device. The input side operates from a single
3-V to 15-V supply. The output side allows for a supply range from a minimum of 13.2 V to a maximum of
33 V. Two complementary CMOS inputs control the output state of the gate driver. The short propagation
time ensures accurate control of the output stage.
When the IGBT is turned off during normal operation with bipolar output supply, the output is hard
clamped to VEE2 in a UVLO (UCC53x0E) device. The UCC53x0M devices, with a unipolar output supply,
have an active Miller clamp, allowing Miller current to sink across a low-impedance path, which prevents
the IGBT from being dynamically turned on during high-voltage transient conditions. The UCC53x0S
device, which has a split output, provides better control over the rise and fall time of the driver output.

EVM Setup and Precautions
3.1
Before You Begin
The following warnings and cautions are noted for the safety of anyone using or working close to the
UCC5390ECDWVEVM. Observe all safety precautions.
Warning
Warning hot surface. Contact may cause burns. Do not touch.
Danger High
Voltage
The UCC5390ECDWVEVM does not have an isolation boundary. If you
apply high voltage to this board, all terminals should be considered high
voltage.
Electric shock is possible when connecting the board to live wire. The
board should be handled with care by a professional.
For safety, use of isolated test equipment with overvoltage and
overcurrent protection is highly recommended.
CAUTION
Do not leave the EVM powered while unattended.
The IGBT device can be populated onboard only for low current functionality
testing. If the IGBT device requires a heat sink (high load current), it must be
externally connected and is not recommended to be populated on EVM.

The UCC5390ECDWVEVM provides connections for evaluating the output side (VCC2, VEE2) with either a
bipolar or unipolar power supply, from a minimum 13.2 V to maximum 33 V. VCC2 and VEE2 can be supplied
at J3. The D2 and D3 diodes and R6 and R7 resistors are provided for supply reverse polarity protection
and to limit the supply current.

Signal Connections
The UCC5390ECDWVEVM is a universal EVM designed to support the UCC53x0xDWV family of devices.
The same EVM can be used for a split output, Miller clamp, and UVLO device by configuring it according
to Table 1, while referencing Figure 4.

I/O Connections
Figure 4 shows the signal path schematic of the EVM. The J2 jumper allows for stimulus or monitoring of
the device input pins IN+ and IN–. The test points TP2 and TP3 provide additional access to the I/O pins.
3.3.2
Output and Loading
The EVM provides the option of driving a capacitive load (not provided) or a user provided FET/IGBT. The
output can be monitored directly with TP9. The gate resistors, R3 and R4, control the rise and fall times of
the output (OUTH and OUTL). These resistors can be modified by the user to alter the turnon and turnoff
characteristics of the output.
The EVM also allows for functional evaluation of the device with an IGBT at light loads (low current and
voltage < 50 V). If the IGBT device requires a heat sink (higher load current), it should be externally
connected, and is not recommended to be populated on the EVM. During evaluation with an IGBT load,
the capacitive load must be removed.
The EVM provides an additional connection (J1) for applying an external power supply to the IGBT
collector. The EVM is not intended for high-voltage testing and the voltage applied to J1 should be limited
to 50-V DC.
3.3.3
EVM Configurations
3.3.3.1
Split (UCC53x0S)
The OUTL pin (pin 7) is connected to the gate by a 3.3-Ω resistor (R3), while the OUTH pin is connected
to the gate using a 10-Ω resistor (R4). This configuration enables separate control over rise and fall times.
The R2 and R5 resistors must be removed, and the R1 resistor must be connected by a 0-Ω resistor to
ensure proper connection to the GND2 node.

Example Measurements
3.3.3.2
www.ti.com
Miller-Clamp (UCC53x0M)
The CLAMP pin (pin 7) is connected to the gate by a 0-Ω resistor (R3). The gate must also be connected
to the OUT pin with a diode and series 10-Ω resistance (R5). The R2 resistor must be removed, and the
R1 resistor must be connected by a 0-Ω resistor to ensure proper connection to the GND2 node.
3.3.3.3
UVLO-GND2 (UCC53x0E)
In this configuration, pin 7 becomes the GND2 pin, while pin 8 becomes VEE2, where negative voltage with
respect to GND2 can be applied. The R1 and R3 resistors must both be removed, and the R2 resistor
must be connected by a 0-Ω resistor to ensure proper connection to the GND2 pin (pin 7). The gate must
also be connected to the OUT pin with a diode and series 10-Ω resistance (R5).

Printed-Circuit Board and Layout
The UCC53x0 device is an isolated gate driver with several important features. The printed-circuit board
(PCB) and EVM, as shown in (wide-body SOIC (8) DWV package), have been designed to support the
UCC53x0S, UCC53x0M, UCC53x0E family of devices and to allow the user to evaluate basic operation
and features. The left side of the PCB contains the interface to the input and control functions of the
integrated circuit (IC). The right side of the PCB has been designed to interface to an IGBT. No electrical
connections exist between the right and left sides of the PCB.
Figure 7 and Figure 8 show the PCB layout for the UCC5390ECDWVEVM.

UCC5390ECDWVEVM Operation
5.1.1
Input-Side Operation: DC Power and Control
5.1.1.1
DC Input Power
The left side of the UCC5390ECDWVEVM (and therefore the PCB) can be operated using either a 3-V
(±10%) to 15-V (±10%) DC power supply. Or, the user can choose to operate the UCC5390ECDWVEVM
by battery. The DC power supply must be connected to the J4 terminal.
5.1.1.2
Control
The interface to the device is through the J2 header. It contains the IN+ and IN– inputs. The J1 header
allows easy connections to test equipment using standard clip leads. The IN+ and IN– control signals
have test points for additional connections. These are test points TP2 and TP3.
5.1.2
Output-Side Operation
5.1.2.1
DC Output Power
Power is provided to VCC2 on the right side of the device at the J3 terminal, as shown in Figure 3. The DC
supply must be able to provide a bias voltage over the range of 13.2-V DC to 33-V DC. The user can
choose to operate the UCC5390ECDWV by battery. If a negative gate drive is required, a DC supply (or
battery) must be connected across VEE2 (–17.5 V to 0 V) at the J3 terminal, as shown in Figure 3. The
voltage across VCC2 and VEE2 must not exceed 33 V for operation. Take note of the supply voltage range
and UVLO of the gate driver under evaluation.
5.1.2.2
Load
As shipped, the UCC5390ECDWVEVM does not have an IGBT or load capacitor installed. The user can
populate IGBT for low-current functionality testing at the pads provided. The IGBT device that requires a
heat sink (higher load current) should be externally connected and is not recommended to be populated
on the EVM. Most IGBTs are available in the standard TO-247 package.
