The UCD7201 includes dual low-side ±4-A highcurrent MOSFET gate drivers. It allows the digital
power controllers such as UCD9110 or UCD9501 to
interface to the power stage in double ended
topologies. It provides a cycle-by-cycle current limit
function for both driver channels, a programmable
threshold and a digital output current limit flag which
can be monitored by the host controller. With a fast
cycle-by-cycle current limit protection, the driver can
turn off the power stage in the event of an
overcurrent condition.

SLUS645F – FEBRUARY 2005 – REVISED DECEMBER 2014
5 Description (Continued)
For fast switching speeds, the UCD7201 output stages use the TrueDrive™ output architecture, which delivers
rated current of ±4 A into the gate of a MOSFET during the Miller plateau region of the switching transition. It
also includes a 3.3-V, 10-mA linear regulator to provide power to the digital controller.
For similar applications requiring direct start-up capability from higher voltages such as the 48-V telecom input
line, the UCD7601 includes a 110-V high-voltage startup circuit.
The UCD7K driver family is compatible with standard 3.3-V I/O ports of DSPs, Microcontrollers, or ASICs.
UCD7201 is offered in a PowerPAD™ HTSSOP-14 package.

Regulated 3.3-V rail. The onboard linear voltage regulator is capable of sourcing up to 10 mA of
current. Place 0.22 μF of ceramic capacitance from this pin to ground.
3
IN1
I
The IN pin is a high impedance digital input capable of accepting 3.3-V logic level signals up to 2
MHz. There is an internal Schmitt trigger comparator which isolates the internal circuitry from any
external noise.
4
AGND

IN2
I
The IN pin is a high impedance digital input capable of accepting 3.3-V logic level signals up to 2
MHz. There is an internal Schmitt trigger comparator which isolates the internal circuitry from any
external noise.
6
CLF
O
Current limit flag. When the CS level is greater than the ILIM voltage minus 25 mV, the output of the
driver is forced low and the current limit flag (CLF) is set high. The CLF signal is latched high until the
device receives the next rising edge on the IN pin.
7
ILIM
I
Current limit threshold set pin. The current limit threshold can be set to any value between 0.25 V
and 1.0 V. The default value while open is 0.5 V.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The UCD7201 is a member of the UCD7K family of digital control compatible drivers for applications utilizing
digital control techniques or applications requiring fast local peak current limit protection.
The UCD7201 is a low-side ±4-A high-current MOSFET gate driver. It allows the digital power controllers such as
UCD9110 or UCD9501 to interface to the power stage in double ended topologies. It provides a cycle-by-cycle
current limit function for both driver channels, a programmable threshold and a digital output current limit flag
which can be monitored by the host controller. With a fast cycle-by-cycle current limit protection, the driver can
turn off the power stage in the event of an overcurrent condition.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Reference / External Bias Supply
All devices in the UCD7K family are capable of supplying a regulated 3.3-V rail to power various types of external
loads such as a microcontroller or an ASIC. The onboard linear voltage regulator is capable of sourcing up to 10
mA of current. For normal operation, place 0.22-μF of ceramic capacitance between the 3V3 pin to the AGND
pin.
8.3.2 Input Pin
The input pins are high impedance digital inputs capable of accepting 3.3-V logic level signals up to 2 MHz.
There is an internal Schmitt Trigger comparator which isolates the internal circuitry from any external noise.
If limiting the rise or fall times to the power device is desired then an external resistance may be added between
the output of the driver and the load device, which is generally the gate of a power MOSFET.
8.3.3 Current Sensing and Protection
A very fast current limit comparator connected to the CS pin is used to protect the power stage by implementing
cycle-by-cycle current limiting.

Feature Description (continued)
The current limit threshold may be set to any value between 0.25 V and 1.0 V by applying the desired threshold
voltage to the current limit (ILIM) pin. If the ILIM pin is left floating, the internal current limit threshold will be 0.5
volts. When the CS level is greater than the ILIM voltage minus 25 mV, the output of the driver is forced low and
the current limit flag (CLF) is set high. The CLF signal is latched high until the device receives the next rising
edge on either of the IN pins.
When the CS voltage is below ILIM, the driver output follows the PWM input. The CLF digital output flag can be
monitored by the host controller to determine when a current limit event occurs and to then apply the appropriate
algorithm to obtain the desired current limit profile (i.e. straight time, fold back, hickup or latch-off).
A benefit of this local protection feature is that the UCD7K devices can protect the power stage if the software
code in the digital controller becomes corrupted. If the controller’s PWM output stays high, the local current
sense circuit turns off the driver output when an over-current event occurs. The system would then likely go into
retry mode because most DSP and microcontrollers have on-board watchdog, brown-out, and other supervisory
peripherals to restart the device in the event that it is not operating properly. But these peripherals typically do
not react fast enough to save the power stage. The UCD7K’s local current limit comparator provides the required
fast protection for the power stage.
The CS threshold is 25 mV below the ILIM voltage. If the user attempts to command zero current while the CS pin
is at ground the CLF flag will latch high until the IN pin receives a pulse. At start-up it is necessary to ensure that
the ILIM pin will always be greater than the CS pin for the handshaking to work as described below. If for any
reason the CS pin comes to within 25 mV of the ILIM pin during start-up, then the CLF flag will be latched high
and the digital controller must poll the UCD7K device, by sending it a narrow IN pulse. If a fault condition is not
present the IN pulse will reset the CLF signal to low indicating that the UCD7K device is ready to process power
pulses.
8.3.4 Handshaking
The UCD7K family of devices have a built-in handshaking feature to facilitate efficient start-up of the digitally
controlled power supply. At start-up the CLF flag is held high until all the internal and external supply voltages of
the UCD7K device are within their operating range. Once the supply voltages are within acceptable limits, the
CLF goes low and the device will process input drive signals. The micro-controller should monitor the CFL flag at
start-up and wait for the CLF flag to go LOW before sending power pulses to the UCD7K device.
8.3.5 Driver Output
The high-current output stage of the UCD7K device family is capable of supplying ±4-A peak current pulses and
swings to both PVDD and PGND. The driver outputs follow the state of the IN pin provided that the VDD and 3V3
voltages are above their respective under-voltage lockout threshold.
The drive output utilizes Texas Instruments' TrueDrive™ architecture, which delivers rated current into the gate
of a MOSFET when it is most needed, during the Miller plateau region of the switching transition providing
efficiency gains.
TrueDrive™ consists of pullup pulldown circuits with bipolar and MOSFET transistors in parallel. The peak output
current rating is the combined current from the bipolar and MOSFET transistors. This hybrid output stage also
allows efficient current sourcing at low supply voltages.
Each output stage also provides a very low impedance to overshoot and undershoot due to the body diode of the
external MOSFET. This means that in many cases, external-schottky-clamp diodes are not required.
8.3.6 Source/Sink Capabilities During Miller Plateau
Large power MOSFETs present a large load to the control circuitry. Proper drive is required for efficient, reliable
operation. The UCD7K drivers have been optimized to provide maximum drive to a power MOSFET during the
Miller plateau region of the switching transition. This interval occurs while the drain voltage is swinging between
the voltage levels dictated by the power topology, requiring the charging/discharging of the drain-gate
capacitance with current supplied or removed by the driver device. See Reference [1]

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.7 Drive Current and Power Requirements
The UCD7K family of drivers can deliver high current into a MOSFET gate for a period of several hundred
nanoseconds. High peak current is required to turn the device ON quickly. Then, to turn the device OFF, the
driver is required to sink a similar amount of current to ground. This repeats at the operating frequency of the
power device.
Reference [1] discusses the current required to drive a power MOSFET and other capacitive-input switching
devices.
When a driver device is tested with a discrete, capacitive load it is a fairly simple matter to calculate the power
that is required from the bias supply. The energy that must be transferred from the bias supply to charge the
capacitor is given by:
1
E = ´ CV 2
(1)
2
where C is the load capacitor and V is the bias voltage feeding the driver.
There is an equal amount of energy transferred to ground when the capacitor is discharged. This leads to a
power loss given by the following:
P = CV 2 ´ f
(2)
where f is the switching frequency.
This power is dissipated in the resistive elements of the circuit. Thus, with no external resistor between the driver
and gate, this power is dissipated inside the driver. Half of the total power is dissipated when the capacitor is
charged, and the other half is dissipated when the capacitor is discharged.
With VDD = 12 V, CLOAD = 2.2 nF, and f = 300 kHz, the power loss can be calculated as:
P = 2.2nF ´ 122 ´ 300kHz = 0.095W
(3)
With a 12-V supply, this would equate to a current of:
P 0.095W
I= =
= 7.9mA
V
12V
(4)
8.3.8 Operational Waveforms
Figure 22 shows the circuit performance achievable with the output driving a 10-nF load at 12-V VDD. The input
pulsewidth (not shown) is set to 200 ns to show both transitions in the output waveform. Note the linear rising
and falling edges of the switching waveforms. This is due to the constant output current characteristic of
TrueDrive™ stage as opposed to the resistive output impedance of traditional MOSFET-based gate drivers.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Operation with VDD < 4.25 V (Minimum VDD)
The devices operate with VDD voltages above 4.75 V. The maximum UVLO voltage is 4.75 V and operates at
VDD voltages above 4.75 V. The typical UVLO voltage is 4.5 V. The minimum UVLO voltage is 4.25 V. At VDD
below the actual UVLO voltage, the devices do not operate, OUT1 and OUT2 remain low.
8.4.2 Operation with IN Pin Open
If the IN1 or IN2 pin is disconnected (open), a 100 kΩ internal resistor connects IN1 or IN2 to GND to prevent
unpredictable operation due to a floating IN1 or IN2 pin, OUT1 or OUT2 remains low.
8.4.3 Operation with ILIM Pin Open
If the ILIM pin is disconnected (open), the current limit threshold is set at 0.55 V.
8.4.4 Operation with ILIM Pin High
If the signal on ILIM pin is higher than 1.1 V, the current limit threshold is clamped at 1.1 V.

Typical Applications (continued)
The current limit threshold can be set to any value between 0.25 V and 1.0 V, select the right turns ratio of the
CT and right resistor at the output of CT, such that the CT output is within this range. Assuming the CT output is
0.775V when input current is 5A, if the digital controller has internal digital-to-analog converter, then it can
generate 0.775 V and connect to ILIM directly. For digital controller without internal digital-to-analog converter, it
can generate PWM signal, send PWM signal through a low pass filter, then connect to ILIM pin.
Assuming the magnitude of the PWM pulse is 3.3V, then the duty cycle is:

9.2.2 Intermediate Bus Converter
Figure 27 shows the UCD7201 in an analog only implementation of an intermediate bus converter. The ILIM pin
of the UCD7201 is exponentially increased at start-up, which minimizes overshoot on the output voltage. The
UCC28089 is a push-pull controller with fixed dead-time. The UCC28089 operates at a fixed duty cycle close to
100% so the circuit acts like a DC transformer linearly transforming the input voltage via the turns ratio of the
transformer.

In this design example, the input current is sensed by a current shunt, the cycle-by-cycle protection threshold is

The current limit threshold can be set to any value between 0.25 V and 1.0 V, so Rsense need to be between
0.045 Ω and 0.195 Ω. Let’s choose Rsense as 0.15 Ω. VILIM need to be 0.775 V in order to protect input current
at 5 A.
Since the controller is analog, it cannot program the VILIM, however, VILIM can be implemented by a voltage
divider connect the pin 2 of UCD7201. Since the voltage on pin 2 is 3.3 V, so the voltage divider needs to be:
Rbottom
´ 3.3 = 0.775

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The UCD7K devices accept a supply range of 4.5 V to 15 V. The device has an internal precision linear regulator
that produces the 3V3 output from this VDD input. A separate pin, PVDD, not connected internally to the VDD
supply rail provides power for the output drivers. In all applications the same bus voltage supplies the two pins. It
is recommended that a low value of resistance be placed between the two pins so that the local capacitance on
each pin forms low pass filters to attenuate any switching noise that may be on the bus.
Although quiescent VDD current is low, total supply current depends on the gate drive output current required for
capacitive load and switching frequency. Total VDD current is the sum of quiescent VDD current and the average
OUT current. Knowing the operating frequency and the MOSFET gate charge (QG), average OUT current can be
calculated from:
IOUT = QG x f, where f is frequency.
For the best high-speed circuit performance, VDD bypass capacitors are recommended to prevent noise
problems. A 4.7-μF ceramic capacitor should be located closest to the VDD and the AGND connection. In
addition, a larger capacitor with relatively low ESR should be connected to the PVDD and PGND pin, to help
deliver the high current peaks to the load. The capacitors should present a low impedance characteristic for the
expected current levels in the driver application. The use of surface mount components for all bypass capacitors
is highly recommended.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
In a power driver operating at high frequency, it is critical to minimize stray inductance to minimize
overshoot/undershoots and ringing. The low output impedance of these drivers produces waveforms with high
di/dt. This tends to induce ringing in the parasitic inductances. It is advantageous to connect the driver device
close to the MOSFETs. It is recommended that the PGND and the AGND pins be connected to the PowerPad™
of the package with a thin trace. It is critical to ensure that the voltage potential between these two pins does not
exceed 0.3 V. The use of schottky diodes on the outputs to PGND and PVDD is recommended when driving gate
transformers.
11.2 Layout Example
Figure 28. UCD7100 Layout Example
11.3 Thermal Considerations
The useful range of a driver is greatly affected by the drive power requirements of the load and the thermal
characteristics of the device package. In order for a power driver to be useful over a particular temperature range
the package must allow for the efficient removal of the heat produced while keeping the junction temperature
within rated limits. The UCD7K family of drivers is available in PowerPAD™ TSSOP and QFN/DFN packages to
cover a range of application requirements. Both have an exposed pad to enhance thermal conductivity from the
semiconductor junction.
As illustrated in Reference [2], the PowerPAD™ packages offer a leadframe die pad that is exposed at the base
of the package. This pad is soldered to the copper on the PC board (PCB) directly underneath the device
package, reducing the TJC down to 2.07°C/W. The PC board must be designed with thermal lands and thermal
vias to complete the heat removal subsystem, as summarized in Reference [3].
Note that the PowerPAD™ is not directly connected to any leads of the package. However, it is electrically and
thermally connected to the substrate which is the ground of the device. The PowerPad™ should be connected to
the quiet ground of the circuit.
