DESCRIPTION
The UCC37321/2 family of high-speed drivers
deliver 9 A of peak drive current in an industry
standard pinout. These drivers can drive the
largest of MOSFETs for systems requiring
extreme Miller current due to high dV/dt
transitions. This eliminates additional external
circuits and can replace multiple components to
reduce space, design complexity and assembly
cost. Two standard logic options are offered,
inverting (UCC37321) and noninverting
(UCC37322).

description (continued)
Using a design that inherently minimizes shoot-through current, the outputs of these can provide high gate drive
current where it is most needed at the Miller plateau region during the MOSFET switching transition. A unique
hybrid output stage paralleling bipolar and MOSFET transistors (TrueDrive) allows efficient current delivery at
low supply voltages. With this drive architecture, UCC37321/2/3 can be used in industry standard 6-A, 9-A and
many 12-A driver applications. Latch up and ESD protection circuitries are also included. Finally, the
UCC37321/2 provides an enable (ENBL) function to have better control of the operation of the driver
applications. ENBL is implemented on pin 3 which was previously left unused in the industry standard pin--out.
It is internally pulled up to Vdd for active high logic and can be left open for standard operation.
In addition to SOIC-8 (D) and PDIP-8 (P) package offerings, the UCC37321/2 also comes in the thermally
enhanced but tiny 8-pin MSOP PowerPADt(DGN) package. The PowerPADtpackage drastically lowers the
thermal resistance to extend the temperature operation range and improve the long-term reliability.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
general information
The UCC37321 and UCC37322 drivers serve as an interface between low-power controllers and power
MOSFETs. They can also be used as an interface between DSPs and power MOSFETs. High-frequency power
supplies often require high-speed, high-current drivers such as the UCC37321/2 family. A leading application
is the need to provide a high power buffer stage between the PWM output of the control device and the gates
of the primary power MOSFET or IGBT switching devices. In other cases, the device drives the power device
gates through a drive transformer. Synchronous rectification supplies also have the need to simultaneously
drive multiple devices which can present an extremely large load to the control circuitry.
The inverting driver (UCC37321) is useful for generating inverted gate drive signals from controllers that have
only outputs of the opposite polarity. For example, this driver can provide a gate signal for ground referenced,
N-channel synchronous rectifier MOSFETs in buck derived converters. This driver can also be used for
generating a gate drive signal for a P-channel MOSFET from a controller that is designed for N-channel
applications.
MOSFET gate drivers are generally used when it is not feasible to have the primary PWM regulator device
directly drive the switching devices for one or more reasons. The PWM device may not have the brute drive
capability required for the intended switching MOSFET, limiting the switching performance in the application.
In other cases there may be a desire to minimize the effect of high frequency switching noise by placing the high
current driver physically close to the load. Also, newer devices that target the highest operating frequencies may
not incorporate onboard gate drivers at all. Their PWM outputs are only intended to drive the high impedance
input to a driver such as the UCC37321/2. Finally, the control device may be under thermal stress due to power
dissipation, and an external driver can help by moving the heat from the controller to an external package.
input stage
The IN threshold has a 3.3-V logic sensitivity over the full range of VDD voltages; yet, it is equally compatible
with0VtoV
DD signals. The inputs of UCC37321/2 family of drivers are designed to withstand 500-mA reverse
current without either damage to the device or logic upset. In addition, the input threshold turn-off of the
UCC37321/2 has been slightly raised for improved noise immunity. The input stage of each driver should be
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 (<200 ns). The
IN input of the driver functions as a digital gate, and it is not intended for applications where a slow changing
input voltage is used to generate a switching output when the logic threshold of the input section is reached.
While this may not be harmful to the driver, the output of the driver may switch repeatedly at a high frequency.
Users should not attempt to shape the input signals to the driver in an attempt to slow down (or delay) the signal
at the output. If limiting the rise or fall times to the power device is desired, then an external resistance can be
added between the output of the driver and the load device, which is generally a power MOSFET gate. The
external resistor may also help remove power dissipation from the device package, as discussed in the section
on Thermal Considerations.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
output stage
The TrueDrive output stage is capable of supplying ±9-A peak current pulses and swings to both VDD and GND
and can encourage even the most stubborn MOSFETs to switch. The pull-up/pull-down circuits of the driver are
constructed of bipolar and MOSFET transistors in parallel. The peak output current rating is the combined
current from the bipolar and MOSFET transistors. The output resistance is the RDS(ON) of the MOSFET
transistor when the voltage on the driver output is less than the saturation voltage of the bipolar transistor. Each
output stage also provides a very low impedance to overshoot and undershoot due to the body diode of the
internal MOSFET. This means that in many cases, external-schottky-clamp diodes are not required.
This unique BiPolar and MOSFET hybrid output architecture (TrueDrive) allows efficient current sourcing at low
supply voltages. The UCC37321/2 family delivers 9 A of gate drive where it is most needed during the MOSFET
switching transition at the Miller plateau region providing improved efficiency gains.
source/sink capabilities during miller plateau
Large power MOSFETs present a significant load to the control circuitry. Proper drive is required for efficient,
reliable operation. The UCC37321/2 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. [1]
Two circuits are used to test the current capabilities of the UCC37321/2 driver. In each case external circuitry
is added to clamp the output near 5 V while the device is sinking or sourcing current. An input pulse of 250 ns
is applied at a frequency of 1 kHz in the proper polarity for the respective test. In each test there is a transient
period where the current peaked up and then settled down to a steady-state value. The noted current
measurements are made at a time of 200 ns after the input pulse is applied, after the initial transient.
The circuit in Figure 3 is used to verify the current sink capability when the output of the driver is clamped around
5 V, a typical value of gate-source voltage during the Miller Plateau Region. The UCC37321 is found to sink 9 A
at VDD =15V.

Figure 4. Source Current Test Circuit
It should be noted that the current sink capability is slightly stronger than the current source capability at lower
VDD. This is due to the differences in the structure of the bipolar-MOSFET power output section, where the
current source is a P-channel MOSFET and the current sink has an N-channel MOSFET.
In a large majority of applications it is advantageous that the turn-off capability of a driver is stronger than the
turn-on capability. This helps to ensure that the MOSFET is held OFF during common power supply transients
which may turn the device back ON.
operational circuit layout
It can be a significant challenge to avoid the overshoot/undershoot and ringing issues that can arise from circuit
layout. The low impedance of these drivers and their high di/dt can induce ringing between parasitic inductances
and capacitances in the circuit. Utmost care must be used in the circuit layout.
In general, position the driver physically as close to its load as possible. Place a 1-μF bypass capacitor as close
to the output side of the driver as possible, connecting it to pins 1 and 8. Connect a single trace between the
two VDD pins (pin 1 and pin 8); connect a single trace between PGND and AGND (pin 5 and pin 4). If a ground
plane is used, it may be connected to AGND; do not extend the plane beneath the output side of the package
(pins 5 -- 8). Connect the load to both OUT pins (pins 7 and 6) with a single trace on the adjacent layer to the
component layer; route the return current path for the output on the component side, directly over the output
path.
Extreme conditions may require decoupling the input power and ground connections from the output power and
ground connections. The UCCx7321/2 has a feature that allows the user to take these extreme measures, if
necessary. There is a small amount of internal impedance of about 15 between the AGND and PGND pins;
there is also a small amount of impedance (30 ) between the two VDD pins. In order to take advantage of
this feature, connect a 1-μF bypass capacitor between VDD and PGND (pins 5 and 8) and connect a 0.1-μF
bypass capacitor between VDD and AGND (pins 1 and 4). Further decoupling can be achieved by connecting
between the two VDD pins with a jumper that passes through a 40-MHz ferrite bead and connect bias power
only to pin 8. Even more decoupling can be achieved by connecting between AGND and PGND with a pair of
anti-parallel diodes (anode connected to cathode and cathode connected to anode).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
VDD
Although quiescent VDD current is very low, total supply current will be higher, depending on OUTA and OUTB
current and the operating 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, two VDD bypass capacitors are recommended tp prevent noise
problems. The use of surface mount components is highly recommended. A 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor should
be located closest to the VDD to ground connection. In addition, a larger capacitor (such as 1-μF) with relatively
low ESR should be connected in parallel, to help deliver the high current peaks to the load. The parallel
combination of capacitors should present a low impedance characteristic for the expected current levels in the
driver application.
drive current and power requirements
The UCC37321/2 family of drivers are capable of delivering 9-A of current to a MOSFET gate for a period of
several hundred nanoseconds. High peak current is required to turn an N-channel 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. An N-channel MOSFET is used in this discussion because it is the
most common type of switching device used in high frequency power conversion equipment.
References 1 and 2 contain detailed discussions of the drive current required to drive a power MOSFET and
other capacitive--input switching devices. Much information is provided in tabular form to give a range of the
current required for various devices at various frequencies. The information pertinent to calculating gate drive
current requirements will be summarized here; the original document is available from the TI website.
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:
E=1
2CV2, 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=2×1
2CV2f, 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. An actual example using the
conditions of the previous gate drive waveform should help clarify this.
With VDD =12V,C
LOAD = 10 nF, and f = 300 kHz, the power loss can be calculated as:
P = 10 nF x (12)2x (300 kHz) = 0.432 W
With a 12-V supply, this would equate to a current of:
I=P
V=0.432 W
12 V =0.036 A

drive current and power requirements (continued)
The switching load presented by a power MOSFET can be converted to an equivalent capacitance by examining
the gate charge required to switch the device. This gate charge includes the effects of the input capacitance
plus the added charge needed to swing the drain of the device between the ON and OFF states. Most
manufacturers provide specifications that provide the typical and maximum gate charge, in nC, to switch the
device under specified conditions. Using the gate charge Qg, one can determine the power that must be
dissipated when charging a capacitor. This is done by using the equivalence Qg = CeffV to provide the following
equation for power:
P=C×V2×f=Qg×V×f
This equation allows a power designer to calculate the bias power required to drive a specific MOSFET gate
at a specific bias voltage.
enable
UCC37321/2 provides an Enable input for improved control of the driver operation. This input also incorporates
logic compatible thresholds with hysteresis. It is internally pulled up to VDD with 100-kresistor for active high
operation. When ENBL is high, the device is enabled and when ENBL is low, the device is disabled. The default
state of the ENBL pin is to enable the device and therefore can be left open for standard operation. The output
state when the device is disabled is low regardless of the input state. See the truth table below for the operation
using enable logic.
ENBL input is compatible with both logic signals and slow changing analog signals. It can be directly driven or
a power--up delay can be programmed with a capacitor between ENBL and AGND.

THERMAL INFORMATION
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 UCC37321/2 family of drivers is available in three different packages to cover a range
of application requirements.
As shown in the power dissipation rating table, the SOIC-8 (D) and PDIP-8 (P) packages each have a power
rating of around 0.5 W with TA=70°C. This limit is imposed in conjunction with the power derating factor also
given in the table. Note that the power dissipation in our earlier example is 0.432 W with a 10-nF load, 12 VDD,
switched at 300 kHz. Thus, only one load of this size could be driven using the D or P packag. The difficulties
with heat removal limit the drive available in the D or P packages.
The MSOP PowerPAD-8 (DGN) package significantly relieves this concern by offering an effective means of
removing the heat from the semiconductor junction. As illustrated in Reference 3, 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 directly underneath the device package, reducing the θjcdownto4.7°C/W. Data is presented in
Reference 3 to show that the power dissipation can be quadrupled in the PowerPAD configuration when
compared to the standard packages. The PC board must be designed with thermal lands and thermal vias to
complete the heat removal subsystem, as summarized in Reference 4. This allows a significant improvement
in heatsinking over that available in the D or P packages, and is shown to more than double the power capability
of the D and P packages.
Note that the PowerPADtis 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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46C and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48B. Buyers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All
semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time
of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components which
have not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of such
components to meet such requirements.
