should be taken to maintain the creepage and clearance distance of a board design to ensure that the mounting pads of the isolator on
the printed-circuit board do not reduce this distance. Creepage and clearance on a printed-circuit board become equal in certain cases.
Techniques such as inserting grooves, ribs, or both on a printed circuit board are used to help increase these specifications.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
In order to switch power transistors rapidly and reduce switching power losses, high-current gate drivers are
often placed between the output of control devices and the gates of power transistors. There are several
instances where controllers are not capable of delivering sufficient current to drive the gates of power transistors.
This is especially the case with digital controllers, since the input signal from the digital controller is often a 3.3-V
logic signal capable of only delivering a few mA.
The UCC21220, UCC21220A are flexible dual gate drivers which can be configured to fit a variety of power
supply and motor drive topologies, as well as drive several types of transistors. UCC21220 and UCC21220A
have many features that allow it to integrate well with control circuitry and protect the gates it drives such as:
disable pin, and under voltage lock out (UVLO) for both input and output voltages. The UCC21220, UCC21220A
also hold its outputs low when the inputs are left open or when the input pulse is not wide enough. The driver
inputs are CMOS and TTL compatible for interfacing with digital and analog power controllers alike. Each
channel is controlled by its respective input pins (INA and INB), allowing full and independent control of each of
the outputs.

The VDD UVLO protection has a hysteresis feature (VVDD_HYS). This hysteresis prevents chatter when there is
ground noise from the power supply. Also this allows the device to accept small drops in bias voltage, which is
bound to happen when the device starts switching and operating current consumption increases suddenly.
The input side of the UCC21220 and UCC21220A also have an internal under voltage lock out (UVLO) protection
feature. The device isn't active unless the voltage, VCCI, is going to exceed VVCCI_ON on start up. And a signal
will cease to be delivered when that pin receives a voltage less than VVCCI_OFF. And, just like the UVLO for VDD,
there is hystersis (VVCCI_HYS) to ensure stable operation.

NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
The UCC21220 and UCC21220A effectively combine both isolation and buffer-drive functions. The flexible,
universal capability of the UCC21220 (with up to 5.5-V VCCI and 18-V VDDA/VDDB) allows the device to be
used as a low-side, high-side, high-side/low-side or half-bridge driver for MOSFETs, IGBTs or GaN transistor.
With integrated components, advanced protection features (UVLO and disable) and optimized switching
performance; the UCC21220 and UCC21220A enable designers to build smaller, more robust designs for
enterprise, telecom, automotive, and industrial applications with a faster time to market.

where
• VBDF is the estimated bootstrap diode forward voltage drop around 4 A. (1)
where
• RON: External turn-on resistance.
• RGFET_INT: Power transistor internal gate resistance, found in the power transistor datasheet.
• IO+ = Peak source current – The minimum value between 4 A, the gate driver peak source current, and the
calculated value based on the gate drive loop resistance. (3)
In this example:

(4)
VDD 12V
IOB | 2.5A
RNMOS || ROH RON RGFET _ Int 1.47: || 5: 2.2: 1.5:
(5)
Therefore, the high-side and low-side peak source current is 2.3 A and 2.5 A respectively. Similarly, the peak
sink current can be calculated with:
§ VDD VBDF VGDF ·
IOA min ¨ 6A, ¸
¨ R OL ROFF || RON RGFET _ Int

§ VDD VGDF ·

where
• ROFF: External turn-off resistance, ROFF=0 in this example;
• VGDF: The anti-parallel diode forward voltage drop which is in series with ROFF. The diode in this example is an
MSS1P4.
• IO-: Peak sink current – the minimum value between 6 A, the gate driver peak sink current, and the calculated
value based on the gate drive loop resistance. (7)
In this example,
VDD VBDF VGDF 12V 0.8V 0.85V
IOA | 5.0A
ROL ROFF || RON RGFET _ Int 0.55: 0: 1.5:
(8)
VDD VGDF 12V 0.85V
IOB | 5.4A
ROL ROFF || RON RGFET _ Int 0.55: 0: 1.5:
(9)
Therefore, the high-side and low-side peak sink current is 5.0 A and 5.4A respectively.
Importantly, the estimated peak current is also influenced by PCB layout and load capacitance. Parasitic
inductance in the gate driver loop can slow down the peak gate drive current and introduce overshoot and
undershoot. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the gate driver loop should be minimized. On the other
hand, the peak source/sink current is dominated by loop parasitics when the load capacitance (CISS) of the power
transistor is very small (typically less than 1 nF), because the rising and falling time is too small and close to the
parasitic ringing period.
where
• QG is the gate charge of the power transistor. (11)
If a split rail is used to turn on and turn off, then VDD is going to be equal to difference between the positive rail
to the negative rail.
So, for this example application:
PGSW 2 u 12V u 100nC u 100kHz 240mW
(12)
QG represents the total gate charge of the power transistor switching 480 V at 14 A provided by the datasheet,
and is subject to change with different testing conditions. The UCC21220 and UCC21220A gate driver loss on
the output stage, PGDO, is part of PGSW. PGDO will be equal to PGSW if the external gate driver resistances are
zero, and all the gate driver loss is dissipated inside the UCC21220 and UCC21220A. If there are external turn-
on and turn-off resistances, the total loss will be distributed between the gate driver pull-up/down resistances and
external gate resistances. Importantly, the pull-up/down resistance is a linear and fixed resistance if the
source/sink current is not saturated to 4 A/6 A, however, it will be non-linear if the source/sink current is
saturated. Therefore, PGDO is different in these two scenarios.
Case 1 - Linear Pull-Up/Down Resistor:
where
• VOUTA/B(t) is the gate driver OUTA and OUTB pin voltage during the turn on and off transient, and it can be
simplified that a constant current source (4 A at turn-on and 6 A at turn-off) is charging/discharging a load
capacitor. Then, the VOUTA/B(t) waveform will be linear and the TR_Sys and TF_Sys can be easily predicted. (15)
For some scenarios, if only one of the pull-up or pull-down circuits is saturated and another one is not, the PGDO
will be a combination of Case 1 and Case 2, and the equations can be easily identified for the pull-up and pull-
down based on the above discussion. Therefore, total gate driver loss dissipated in the gate driver UCC21220
and UCC21220A, PGD, is:
PGD PGDQ PGDO
(16)
which is equal to 127 mW in the design example.
where
• TC is the UCC21220 and UCC21220A case-top temperature measured with a thermocouple or some other
instrument, ψJT is the junction-to-top characterization parameter from the Thermal Information table.
Importantly, ψJT is developed based on JEDEC standard PCB board and it is subject to change when the PCB
board layout is different. For more information, please visit application report - semiconductor and IC package
thermal metrics. (17)
Using the junction-to-top characterization parameter (ΨJT) instead of the junction-to-case thermal resistance
(RΘJC) can greatly improve the accuracy of the junction temperature estimation. The majority of the thermal
energy of most ICs is released into the PCB through the package leads, whereas only a small percentage of the
total energy is released through the top of the case (where thermocouple measurements are usually conducted).
RΘJC can only be used effectively when most of the thermal energy is released through the case, such as with
metal packages or when a heatsink is applied to an IC package. In all other cases, use of RΘJC will inaccurately
estimate the true junction temperature. ΨJT is experimentally derived by assuming that the amount of energy
leaving through the top of the IC will be similar in both the testing environment and the application environment.
As long as the recommended layout guidelines are observed, junction temperature estimates can be made
accurately to within a few degrees Celsius. For more information, see the Layout Guidelines and Semiconductor
and IC Package Thermal Metrics application report.

• QG: Gate charge of the power transistor.
• IVDD: The channel self-current consumption with no load at 100kHz.
• (18)
Therefore, the absolute minimum CBoot requirement is:
QTotal 115nC
CBoot 230nF
'VVDDA 0.5V
where
• ΔVVDDA is the voltage ripple at VDDA, which is 0.5 V in this example. (19)
In practice, the value of CBoot is greater than the calculated value. This allows for the capacitance shift caused by
the DC bias voltage and for situations where the power stage would otherwise skip pulses due to load transients.
Therefore, it is recommended to include a safety-related margin in the CBoot value and place it as close to the
VDD and VSS pins as possible. A 50-V 1-µF capacitor is chosen in this example.
CBoot =1 F
(20)
To further lower the AC impedance for a wide frequency range, it is recommended to have bypass capacitor with
a low capacitance value, in this example a 100 nF, in parallel with CBoot to optimize the transient performance.
NOTE
Too large CBOOT is not good. CBOOT may not be charged within the first few cycles and
VBOOT could stay below UVLO. As a result, the high-side FET does not follow input signal
command. Also during initial CBOOT charging cycles, the bootstrap diode has highest
reverse recovery current and losses.

Figure 37. Negative Bias with Zener Diode on Iso-Bias Power Supply Output
Figure 38 shows another example which uses two supplies (or single-input-double-output power supply). Power
supply VA+ determines the positive drive output voltage and VA– determines the negative turn-off voltage. The
configuration for channel B is the same as channel A. This solution requires more power supplies than the first
example, however, it provides more flexibility when setting the positive and negative rail voltages.

The last example, shown in Figure 39, is a single power supply configuration and generates negative bias
through a Zener diode in the gate drive loop. The benefit of this solution is that it only uses one power supply and
the bootstrap power supply can be used for the high side drive. This design requires the least cost and design
effort among the three solutions. However, this solution has limitations:
1. The negative gate drive bias is not only determined by the Zener diode, but also by the duty cycle, which
means the negative bias voltage will change when the duty cycle changes. Therefore, converters with a fixed
duty cycle (~50%) such as variable frequency resonant convertors or phase shift convertors which favor this
solution.
2. The high side VDDA-VSSA must maintain enough voltage to stay in the recommended power supply range,
which means the low side switch must turn-on or have free-wheeling current on the body (or anti-parallel)
diode for a certain period during each switching cycle to refresh the bootstrap capacitor. Therefore, a 100%
duty cycle for the high side is not possible unless there is a dedicated power supply for the high side, like in
the other two example circuits.

NOTE
There are no PCB traces or copper between the primary and secondary side, which
ensures isolation performance.
PCB traces between the high-side and low-side gate drivers in the output stage are increased to maximize the
creepage distance for high-voltage operation, which will also minimize cross-talk between the switching node
VSSA (SW), where high dv/dt may exist, and the low-side gate drive due to the parasitic capacitance coupling.
