(1) Creepage and clearance requirements should be applied according to the specific equipment isolation standards of an application. Care
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.
(2) This coupler is suitable for basic electrical insulation only within the maximum operating ratings. Compliance with the safety ratings shall
be ensured by means of suitable protective circuits.
(3) Testing is carried out in air or oil to determine the intrinsic surge immunity of the isolation barrier.
(4) Apparent charge is electrical discharge caused by a partial discharge (pd).
(5) All pins on each side of the barrier tied together creating a two-pin device.

(1) The maximum safety temperature, TS, has the same value as the maximum junction temperature, TJ, specified for the device. The IS
and PS parameters represent the safety current and safety power respectively. The maximum limits of IS and PS should not be
exceeded. These limits vary with the ambient temperature, TA.

The junction-to-air thermal resistance, RθJA, in the Thermal Information table is that of a device installed on a high-K test board for
leaded surface-mount packages. Use these equations to calculate the value for each parameter:

TJ = TA + RθJA × P, where P is the power dissipated in the device.

TJ(max) = TS = TA + RθJA × PS, where TJ(max) is the maximum allowed junction temperature.

PS = IS × VI, where VI is the maximum input voltage.

8 Parameter Measurement Information


8.1 Minimum Pulses
A typical 5-ns deglitch filter removes small input pulses introduced by ground bounce or switching transients. To
change the output stage on OUTA or OUTB, one has to assert longer pulses than tPW(min), typically 10 ns, to
guarantee an output state change. see Figure 25 and Figure 26 for detailed information of the operation of
deglitch filter.

8.5 Power-up UVLO Delay to OUTPUT


Before the driver is ready to deliver a proper output state, there is a power-up delay from the UVLO rising edge
to output and it is defined as tVCCI+ to OUT for VCCI UVLO, which is 40 µs typically, and tVDD+ to OUT for VDD UVLO,
which is 22 µs typically. It is recommended to consider proper margin before launching PWM signal after the
driver VCCI and VDD bias supply is ready. Figure 30 and Figure 31 show the power-up UVLO delay timing
diagram for VCCI and VDD.
If INA or INB are active before VCCI or VDD have crossed above their respective on thresholds, the output will
not update until tVCCI+ to OUT or tVDD+ to OUT after VCCI or VDD crossing its UVLO rising threshold. However, when
either VCCI or VDD receive a voltage less than their respective off thresholds, there is <1µs delay, depending on
the voltage slew rate on the supply pins, before the outputs are held low. This asymmetric delay is designed to
ensure safe operation during VCCI or VDD brownouts.

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.

9.3 Feature Description


9.3.1 VDD, VCCI, and Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO)
The UCC21220 and UCC21220A have an internal under voltage lock out (UVLO) protection feature on the
supply circuit blocks between the VDD and VSS pins for both outputs. When the VDD bias voltage is lower than
VVDD_ON at device start-up or lower than VVDD_OFF after start-up, the VDD UVLO feature holds the effected output
low, regardless of the status of the input pins (INA and INB).
When the output stages of the driver are in an unbiased or UVLO condition, the driver outputs are held low by an
active clamp circuit that limits the voltage rise on the driver outputs (Illustrated in Figure 33). In this condition, the
upper PMOS is resistively held off by RHi-Z while the lower NMOS gate is tied to the driver output through RCLAMP.
In this configuration, the output is effectively clamped to the threshold voltage of the lower NMOS device,
typically around 1.5V, when no bias power is available.

Figure 33. Simplified Representation of Active Pull Down Feature

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.

9.3.3 Input Stage


The input pins (INA, INB, and DIS) of UCC21220 and UCC21220A are based on a TTL and CMOS compatible
input-threshold logic that is totally isolated from the VDD supply voltage. The input pins are easy to drive with
logic-level control signals (such as those from 3.3-V micro-controllers), since the UCC21220 and UCC21220A
have a typical high threshold (VINAH) of 1.8 V and a typical low threshold of 1 V, which vary little with temperature
(see Figure 12 and Figure 16). A wide hysterisis (VINA_HYS) of 0.8 V makes for good noise immunity and stable
operation. If any of the inputs are ever left open, internal pull-down resistors force the pin low. These resistors
are typically 200 kΩ for INA/B and 50 kΩ for DIS (See Functional Block Diagram). However, it is still
recommended to ground an input if it is not being used.
Since the input side of UCC21220 or UCC21220A are isolated from the output drivers, the input signal amplitude
can be larger or smaller than VDD, provided that it doesn’t exceed the recommended limit. This allows greater
flexibility when integrating with control signal sources, and allows the user to choose the most efficient VDD for
their MOSFET/IGBT gate. That said, the amplitude of any signal applied to INA or INB must never be at a
voltage higher than VCCI.

9.3.4 Output Stage


The UCC21220 and UCC21220A output stages feature a pull-up structure which delivers the highest peak-
source current when it is most needed, during the Miller plateau region of the power-switch turn on transition
(when the power switch drain or collector voltage experiences dV/dt). The output stage pull-up structure features
a P-channel MOSFET and an additional Pull-Up N-channel MOSFET in parallel. The function of the N-channel
MOSFET is to provide a boost in the peak-sourcing current, enabling fast turn on. This is accomplished by briefly
turning on the N-channel MOSFET during a narrow instant when the output is changing states from low to high.
The on-resistance of this N-channel MOSFET (RNMOS) is approximately 1.47 Ω when activated.
The ROH parameter is a DC measurement and it is representative of the on-resistance of the P-channel device
only. This is because the Pull-Up N-channel device is held in the off state in DC condition and is turned on only
for a brief instant when the output is changing states from low to high. Therefore the effective resistance of the
UCC21220 and UCC21220A pull-up stage during this brief turn-on phase is much lower than what is represented
by the ROH parameter.
The pull-down structure of the UCC21220 and UCC21220A are composed of an N-channel MOSFET. The ROL
parameter, which is also a DC measurement, is representative of the impedance of the pull-down state in the
device. Both outputs of the UCC21220 and UCC21220A are capable of delivering 4-A peak source and 6-A peak
sink current pulses. The output voltage swings between VDD and VSS provides rail-to-rail operation, thanks to
the MOS-out stage which delivers very low drop-out.

9.4.1 Disable Pin
Setting the DIS pin high shuts down both outputs simultaneously. Pull the DIS pin low (or left open) allows
UCC21220 and UCC21220A to operate normally. The DIS pin is quite responsive, as far as propagation delay
and other switching parameters are concerned (See Figure 22). The DIS pin is only functional (and necessary)
when VCCI stays above the UVLO threshold. It is recommended to tie this pin to GND if the DIS pin is not used
to achieve better noise immunity.

10 Application and Implementation

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.

10.1 Application Information

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.

10.2 Typical Application

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

10.2.2.1 Designing INA/INB Input Filter


It is recommended that users avoid shaping the signals to the gate driver in an attempt to slow down (or delay)
the signal at the output. However, a small input RIN-CIN filter can be used to filter out the ringing introduced by
non-ideal layout or long PCB traces.
Such a filter should use an RIN in the range of 0 Ω to100 Ω and a CIN between 10 pF and 100 pF. In the
example, an RIN = 51 Ω and a CIN = 33 pF are selected, with a corner frequency of approximately 100 MHz.
When selecting these components, it is important to pay attention to the trade-off between good noise immunity
and propagation delay.

10.2.2.2 Select External Bootstrap Diode and its Series Resistor


The bootstrap capacitor is charged by VDD through an external bootstrap diode every cycle when the low side
transistor turns on. Charging the capacitor involves high-peak currents, and therefore transient power dissipation
in the bootstrap diode may be significant. Conduction loss also depends on the diode’s forward voltage drop.
Both the diode conduction losses and reverse recovery losses contribute to the total losses in the gate driver
circuit.
When selecting external bootstrap diodes, it is recommended that one chose high voltage, fast recovery diodes
or SiC Schottky diodes with a low forward voltage drop and low junction capacitance in order to minimize the loss
introduced by reverse recovery and related grounding noise bouncing. In the example, the DC-link voltage is 400
VDC. The voltage rating of the bootstrap diode should be higher than the DC-link voltage with a good margin.
Therefore, a 600-V ultrafast diode, MURA160T3G, is chosen in this example.
A bootstrap resistor, RBOOT, is used to reduce the inrush current in DBOOT and limit the ramp up slew rate of
voltage of VDDA-VSSA during each switching cycle, especially when the VSSA(SW) pin has an excessive
negative transient voltage. The recommended value for RBOOT is between 1 Ω and 20 Ω depending on the diode
used. In the example, a current limiting resistor of 2.2 Ω is selected to limit the inrush current of bootstrap diode.
The estimated worst case peak current through DBoot is,

where
• VBDF is the estimated bootstrap diode forward voltage drop around 4 A. (1)

10.2.2.3 Gate Driver Output Resistor


The external gate driver resistors, RON/ROFF, are used to:
1. Limit ringing caused by parasitic inductances/capacitances.
2. Limit ringing caused by high voltage/current switching dv/dt, di/dt, and body-diode reverse recovery.
3. Fine-tune gate drive strength, i.e. peak sink and source current to optimize the switching loss.
4. Reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
As mentioned in Output Stage, the UCC21220 and UCC21220A have a pull-up structure with a P-channel
MOSFET and an additional pull-up N-channel MOSFET in parallel. The combined peak source current is 4 A.
Therefore, the peak source current can be predicted with:
§ VDD VBDF ·
IOA min ¨ 4A, ¸
¨ RNMOS || ROH RON RGFET _ Int ¸
© ¹
(2)
§ VDD ·
IOB min ¨ 4A, ¸
¨ RNMOS || ROH RON RGFET _ Int ¸
© 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:
VDD VBDF 12V 0.8V
IOA | 2.3A

(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:

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)

(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.

10.2.2.4 Estimating Gate Driver Power Loss


The total loss, PG, in the gate driver subsystem includes the power losses of the UCC21220 and UCC21220A
(PGD) and the power losses in the peripheral circuitry, such as the external gate drive resistor. Bootstrap diode
loss is not included in PG and not discussed in this section.
PGD is the key power loss which determines the thermal safety-related limits of the UCC21220 and UCC21220A,
and it can be estimated by calculating losses from several components.
The first component is the static power loss, PGDQ, which includes quiescent power loss on the driver as well as
driver self-power consumption when operating with a certain switching frequency. PGDQ is measured on the
bench with no load connected to OUTA and OUTB at a given VCCI, VDDA/VDDB, switching frequency and
ambient temperature. Figure 5 and Figure 8shows the operating current consumption vs. operating frequency
with no load. In this example, VVCCI = 5 V and VVDD = 12 V. The current on each power supply, with INA/INB
switching from 0 V to 3.3 V at 100 kHz is measured to be IVCCI ≈ 2.5 mA, and IVDDA = IVDDB ≈ 1.5 mA. Therefore,
the PGDQ can be calculated with
PGDQ VVCCI u IVCCI VVDDA u IDDA VVDDB u IDDB 50mW
(10)
The second component is switching operation loss, PGDO, with a given load capacitance which the driver charges
and discharges the load during each switching cycle. Total dynamic loss due to load switching, PGSW, can be
estimated with
PGSW 2 u VDD u QG u fSW

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)

Product Folder Links: UCC21220 UCC21220A
UCC21220, UCC21220A
SLUSCK0E – NOVEMBER 2017 – REVISED MAY 2019 www.ti.com

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:

PGSW § ROH || RNMOS ROL ·


PGDO u¨ ¸
2 ¨ ROH || RNMOS RON RGFET _ Int ROL ROFF || RON RGFET _ Int ¸
© ¹ (13)
In this design example, all the predicted source/sink currents are less than 4 A/6 A, therefore, the UCC21220
and UCC21220A gate driver loss can be estimated with:
240mW § 5: || 1.47: 0.55: ·
PGDO u¨ ¸ | 60mW

ª TR _ Sys TF _ Sys º
« VOUTA /B t dt »
PGDO 2 u fSW u 4A u
« ³ VDD VOUTA /B t dt 6A u ³ »
¬« 0 0 »¼

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.

10.2.2.5 Estimating Junction Temperature


The junction temperature (TJ) of the UCC21220 and UCC21220A can be estimated with:
TJ TC < JT u PGD

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.

10.2.2.6 Selecting VCCI, VDDA/B Capacitor


Bypass capacitors for VCCI, VDDA, and VDDB are essential for achieving reliable performance. It is
recommended that one choose low ESR and low ESL surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) with
sufficient voltage ratings, temperature coefficients and capacitance tolerances. Importantly, DC bias on an MLCC
will impact the actual capacitance value. For example, a 25-V, 1-µF X7R capacitor is measured to be only 500
nF when a DC bias of 15 VDC is applied.

10.2.2.6.1 Selecting a VCCI Capacitor


A bypass capacitor connected to VCCI supports the transient current needed for the primary logic and the total
current consumption, which is only a few mA. Therefore, a 25-V MLCC with over 100 nF is recommended for this
application. If the bias power supply output is a relatively long distance from the VCCI pin, a tantalum or
electrolytic capacitor, with a value over 1 µF, should be placed in parallel with the MLCC.

10.2.2.6.2 Selecting a VDDA (Bootstrap) Capacitor


A VDDA capacitor, also referred to as a bootstrap capacitor in bootstrap power supply configurations, allows for
gate drive current transients up to 6 A, and needs to maintain a stable gate drive voltage for the power transistor.
The total charge needed per switching cycle can be estimated with
IVDD @100kHz No Load 1.5mA
QTotal QG 100nC 115nC
fSW 100kHz

where
• 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.

10.2.2.6.3 Select a VDDB Capacitor


Chanel B has the same current requirements as Channel A, Therefore, a VDDB capacitor (Shown as CVDD in
Figure 36) is needed. In this example with a bootstrap configuration, the VDDB capacitor will also supply current
for VDDA through the bootstrap diode. A 50-V, 10-µF MLCC and a 50-V, 220-nF MLCC are chosen for CVDD. If
the bias power supply output is a relatively long distance from the VDDB pin, a tantalum or electrolytic capacitor
with a value over 10 µF, should be used in parallel with CVDD.

10.2.2.7 Application Circuits with Output Stage Negative Bias


When parasitic inductances are introduced by non-ideal PCB layout and long package leads (e.g. TO-220 and
TO-247 type packages), there could be ringing in the gate-source drive voltage of the power transistor during
high di/dt and dv/dt switching. If the ringing is over the threshold voltage, there is the risk of unintended turn-on
and even shoot-through. Applying a negative bias on the gate drive is a popular way to keep such ringing below
the threshold. Below are a few examples of implementing negative gate drive bias.
Figure 37 shows the first example with negative bias turn-off on the channel-A driver using a Zener diode on the
isolated power supply output stage. The negative bias is set by the Zener diode voltage. If the isolated power
supply, VA, is equal to 17 V, the turn-off voltage will be –5.1 V and turn-on voltage will be 17 V – 5.1 V ≈ 12 V.
The channel-B driver circuit is the same as channel-A, therefore, this configuration needs two power supplies for
a half-bridge configuration, and there will be steady state power consumption from RZ.

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.

Figure 40 and Figure 41 shows the bench test waveforms for the design example shown in Figure 36 under
these conditions: VCC = 5.0 V, VDD = 12 V, fSW = 100 kHz, VDC-Link = 400 V.

In Figure 40, INA and INB are sent complimentary 3.3-V, 20%/80% duty-cycle signals with 200ns deadtime. The
gate drive signals on the power transistor have a 200-ns dead time with 400V high voltage on the DC-Link,
shown in the measurement section of Figure 40. Note that with high voltage present, lower bandwidth differential
probes are required, which limits the achievable accuracy of the measurement.
Figure 41 shows a zoomed-in version of the waveform of Figure 40, with measurements for propagation delay
and deadtime. Importantly, the output waveform is measured between the power transistors’ gate and source
pins, and is not measured directly from the driver's OUTA and OUTB pins.

11 Power Supply Recommendations


The recommended input supply voltage (VCCI) for UCC21220 and UCC21220A is between 3 V and 5.5 V. The
output bias supply voltage (VDDA/VDDB) range from 9.2V to 18V. The lower end of this bias supply range is
governed by the internal under voltage lockout (UVLO) protection feature of each device. One mustn’t let VDD or
VCCI fall below their respective UVLO thresholds (For more information on UVLO see VDD, VCCI, and Under
Voltage Lock Out (UVLO)). The upper end of the VDDA/VDDB range depends on the maximum gate voltage of
the power device being driven by UCC21220 and UCC21220A. The UCC21220 and UCC21220A have a
recommended maximum VDDA/VDDB of 18 V.
A local bypass capacitor should be placed between the VDD and VSS pins. This capacitor should be positioned
as close to the device as possible. A low ESR, ceramic surface mount capacitor is recommended. It is further
suggested that one place two such capacitors: one with a value of ≈10-µF for device biasing, and an additional
≤100-nF capacitor in parallel for high frequency filtering..
Similarly, a bypass capacitor should also be placed between the VCCI and GND pins. Given the small amount of
current drawn by the logic circuitry within the input side of UCC21220 and UCC21220A, this bypass capacitor
has a minimum recommended value of 100 nF.

12 Layout

12.1 Layout Guidelines


Consider these PCB layout guidelines for in order to achieve optimum performance for the UCC21220 and
UCC21220A.

12.1.1 Component Placement Considerations


• Low-ESR and low-ESL capacitors must be connected close to the device between the VCCI and GND pins
and between the VDD and VSS pins to support high peak currents when turning on the external power
transistor.
• To avoid large negative transients on the switch node VSSA (HS) pin, the parasitic inductances between the
source of the top transistor and the source of the bottom transistor must be minimized.
• It is recommended to bypass using a ≥1-nF low ESR/ESL capacitor, CDIS, close to DIS pin when connecting
to a μC with distance

12.1.2 Grounding Considerations


• It is essential to confine the high peak currents that charge and discharge the transistor gates to a minimal
physical area. This will decrease the loop inductance and minimize noise on the gate terminals of the
transistors. The gate driver must be placed as close as possible to the transistors.
• Pay attention to high current path that includes the bootstrap capacitor, bootstrap diode, local VSSB-
referenced bypass capacitor, and the low-side transistor body/anti-parallel diode. The bootstrap capacitor is
recharged on a cycle-by-cycle basis through the bootstrap diode by the VDD bypass capacitor. This
recharging occurs in a short time interval and involves a high peak current. Minimizing this loop length and
area on the circuit board is important for ensuring reliable operation.

12.1.3 High-Voltage Considerations


• To ensure isolation performance between the primary and secondary side, one should avoid placing any PCB
traces or copper below the driver device. A PCB cutout is recommended in order to prevent contamination
that may compromise the UCC21220 and UCC21220A isolation performance.
• For half-bridge, or high-side/low-side configurations, one should try to increase the clearance distance of the
PCB layout between the high and low-side PCB traces.

12.1.4 Thermal Considerations


• A large amount of power may be dissipated by the UCC21220 and UCC21220A if the driving voltage is high,
the load is heavy, or the switching frequency is high (Refer to Estimating Gate Driver Power Loss for more
details). Proper PCB layout can help dissipate heat from the device to the PCB and minimize junction to
board thermal impedance (θJB).
• Increasing the PCB copper connecting to VDDA, VDDB, VSSA and VSSB pins is recommended, with priority
on maximizing the connection to VSSA and VSSB (See Figure 43 and Figure 44). However, high voltage
PCB considerations mentioned above must be maintained.
• If there are multiple layers in the system, it is also recommended to connect the VDDA, VDDB, VSSA and
VSSB pins to internal ground or power planes through multiple vias of adequate size. Ensure that no traces
or coppers from different high-voltage planes overlap.

Figure 43 and Figure 44 shows top and bottom layer traces and copper.

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.
