UCC2154x Reinforced Isolation Dual-Channel Gate Driver  
With 3.3-mm Channel-to-Channel Spacing Option  
1 Features  
3 Description  
Wide body package options  
The UCC2154x is an isolated dual channel gate driver  
family designed with up to 4-A/6-A peak source/sink  
current to drive power MOSFET, IGBT, and GaN  
transistors. UCC2154x in DWK package also offers  
3.3-mm minimum channel-to-channel spacing which  
facilitates higher bus voltage.  
– DW SOIC-16: pin-2-pin to UCC21520  
– DWK SOIC-14: 3.3 mm Ch-2-Ch spacing  
Up to 4-A peak source and 6-A peak sink output  
Up to 18-V VDD output drive supply  
– 5-V and 8-V VDD UVLO Options  
CMTI greater than 100 V/ns  
The UCC2154x family can be configured as two low-  
side drivers, two high-side drivers, or a half-bridge  
driver. The input side is isolated from the two output  
drivers by a 5.7-kVRMS isolation barrier, with a  
minimum of 100-V/ns common-mode transient  
immunity (CMTI).  
Switching parameters:  
– 40-ns maximum propagation delay  
– 5-ns maximum delay matching  
– 5.5-ns maximum pulse-width distortion  
– 35-µs maximum VDD power-up delay  
Resistor-programmable dead time  
TTL and CMOS compatible inputs  
Safety-related certifications:  
– 8000-VPK reinforced isolation per DIN V VDE V  
0884-11:2017-01  
– 5700-VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577  
– CQC certification per GB4943.1-2011  
Protection features include: resistor programmable  
dead time, disable feature to shut down both outputs  
simultaneously, integrated de-glitch filter that rejects  
input transients shorter than 5ns, and negative  
voltage handling for up to –2V spikes for 200ns on  
input and output pins. All supplies have UVLO  
protection.

Description  
NAME  
NO.  
Disables both driver outputs if asserted high, enables if set low. It is recommended to tie this pin to  
ground if not used to achieve better noise immunity. Bypass using a ≈ 1-nF low ESR/ESL capacitor  
close to DIS pin when connecting to a µC with distance.

DT pin configuration:  
Tying DT to VCCI disables the DT feature and allows the outputs to overlap.  
Placing a resistor (RDT) between DT and GND adjusts dead time according to the equation: DT (in  
ns) = 10 × RDT (in kΩ). TI recommends bypassing this pin with a ceramic capacitor, 2.2 nF or  
greater, close to DT pin to achieve better noise immunity.

(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 safe electrical insulation only within the safety 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 Section 7.4 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. An  
input pulse with duration longer than tPWmin, typically 10 ns, must be asserted on INA or INB to guarantee an  
output state change at OUTA or OUTB. See Figure 8-1 and Figure 8-2 for detailed information of the operation of  
deglitch filter.

8.5 Programmable Dead Time  
UCC21542/A internally ties the deadtime circuit to VCCI, leaving pin 6 as not internally connected. This device  
always allows both outputs to overlap.  
For UCC21540/A and UCC21541, tying DT to VCCI disables DT feature and allows the outputs to overlap.  
Placing a resistor (RDT) between DT and GND adjusts dead time according to the equation: DT (in ns) = 10 ×  
RDT (in kΩ). TI recommends bypassing this pin with a ceramic capacitor, 2.2 nF or greater, close to DT pin to  
achieve better noise immunity. For more details on dead time, refer to Section 9.4.2.

8.6 Power-up UVLO Delay to OUTPUT  
Whenever the supply voltage VCCI crosses from below the falling threshold VVCCI_OFF to above the rising  
threshold VVCCI_ON, and whenever the supply voltage VDDx crosses from below the falling threshold VVDDx_OFF  
to above the rising threshold VVDDx_ON, there is a delay before the outputs begin responding to the inputs. For  
VCCI UVLO this delay is defined as tVCCI+ to OUT, and is typically 40 µs. For VDDx UVLO this delay is defined as  
tVDD+ to OUT, and is typically 23 µs. TI recommends allowing some margin before driving input signals, to ensure  
the driver VCCI and VDD bias supplies are fully activated. Figure 8-7 and Figure 8-8 show the power-up UVLO  
delay timing diagram for VCCI and VDD.  
Whenever the supply voltage VCCI crosses below the falling threshold VVCCI_OFF, or VDDx crosses below the  
falling threshold VVDDx_OFF, the outputs stop responding to the inputs and are held low within 1 µs. This  
asymmetric delay is designed to ensure safe operation during VCCI or VDDx brownouts.  
When VCCI goes away but VDDx is present, outputs are held low; when VDDx is gone, outputs are CLAMPED  
low through the active pull down feature. For more detailed UVLO feature description, please check session

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 UCC2154x is a flexible dual gate driver which can be configured to fit a variety of power supply and motor  
drive topologies, as well as drive several types of transistors. The UCC2154x has many features that allow it to  
integrate well with control circuitry and protect the gates it drives such as: resistor-programmable dead time (DT)  
control, disable pin, and under voltage lock out (UVLO) for both input and output supplies. The UCC2154x also  
holds its outputs low when the inputs are left open or when the input pulse duration is too short. 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 UCC2154x has an internal under voltage lock out (UVLO) protection feature on each supply voltage  
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 channel output low, regardless of  
the status of the input pins. The VDDx UVLO feature operates independently between CHA and CHB, allowing  
for bootstrapped systems where low-side output is required before high-side bias can be charged up.  
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 9-1). 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 1.75V, regardless of whether bias power is available.

Figure 9-1. 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. This also allows the device to accept small drops in bias voltage, which  
commonly occurs when the device starts switching and operating current consumption increases suddenly.  
The inputs of the UCC2154x also has an internal under voltage lock out (UVLO) protection feature. The inputs  
cannot affect the outputs unless the supply voltage VCCI exceeds VVCCI_ON on start-up. The outputs are held  
low and cannot respond to inputs when the supply voltage VCCI drops below VVCCI_OFF after start-up. Like the  
UVLO for VDD, there is hystersis (VVCCI_HYS) to ensure stable operation.

(2) For improved noise immunity, TI recommends connecting INA, INB, and DIS to GND, and DT to VCCI, when these pins are not used.  
9.3.3 Input Stage  
The input pins (INA, INB, and DIS) of the UCC2154x is based on a TTL and CMOS compatible input-threshold  
logic that is totally isolated from the VDD supply voltage of the output channels. The input pins are easy to drive  
with logic-level control signals (such as those from 3.3-V microcontrollers), since the UCC2154x has a typical  
high threshold (VINAH) of 1.8 V and a typical low threshold of 1 V, which vary little with temperature (see and ). 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 Section 9.2). TI recommends grounding any unused inputs.  
The amplitude of any signal applied to the inputs should not exceed the voltage at the VCCI pin. The UCC2154x  
cannot be driven from an analog controller with an output voltage greater than the VCCI voltage.

9.3.4 Output Stage  
The UCC2154x output stage features 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) for UCC21540 is approximately 1.47-Ω when activated, and  
RNMOS is approximately 3.2-Ω for UCC21541.  
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  
UCC2154x 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 UCC2154x is 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. The output  
voltage swings between VDD and VSS for rail-to-rail operation.

9.4 Device Functional Modes  
9.4.1 Disable Pin  
When the DIS pin is set high, both outputs are shut down simultaneously. When the DIS pin is set low, the  
UCC2154x operates normally. Bypass using a ≈ 1-nF low ESR/ESL capacitor close to DIS pin when connecting  
to a micro-controller with distance. The DIS circuit logic structure is similar compared to INA or INB, and the  
propagation delay typical performance can be found in . 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.  
9.4.2 Programmable Dead Time (DT) Pin  
The UCC21540/A and UCC21541 allows the user to adjust dead time (DT) in the following ways:  
9.4.2.1 DT Pin Tied to VCCI  
Outputs completely match inputs, so no minimum dead time is asserted. This allows the outputs to overlap. TI  
recommends connecting this pin directly to VCCI if it is not used to achieve better noise immunity.  
9.4.2.2 Connecting a Programming Resistor between DT and GND Pins  
Program tDT by placing a resistor, RDT, between the DT pin and GND. TI recommends bypassing this pin with a  
ceramic capacitor, 2.2 nF or greater, close to DT pin to achieve better noise immunity. The appropriate RDT value  
can be determined from:  
tDT ö 10ìRDT  
where  
(1)  
tDT is the programmed dead time, in nanoseconds.  
RDT is the value of resistance between DT pin and GND, in kilo-ohms.  
The steady state voltage at the DT pin is about 0.8 V. RDT programs a small current at this pin, which sets the  
dead time. As the value of RDT increases, the current sourced by the DT pin decreases. The DT pin current will  
be less than 10 µA when RDT = 100 kΩ. For larger values of RDT, TI recommends placing RDT and a ceramic  
capacitor, 2.2 nF or greater, as close to the DT pin as possible to achieve greater noise immunity and better  
dead time matching between both channels.

The falling edge of an input signal initiates the programmed dead time for the other signal. The programmed  
dead time is the minimum enforced duration in which both outputs are held low by the driver. The outputs may  
also be held low for a duration greater than the programmed dead time, if the INA and INB signals include a  
dead time duration greater than the programmed minimum. If both inputs are high simultaneously, both outputs  
will immediately be set low. This feature is used to prevent shoot-through in half-bridge applications, and it does  
not affect the programmed dead time setting for normal operation. Various driver dead time logic operating  
conditions are illustrated and explained in Input and Output Logic Relationship with Input Signals.

Condition D: INA goes low, INB is still low. INA sets OUTA low immediately and assigns the programmed dead  
time to OUTB. In this case, the input signal dead time is longer than the programmed dead time. When INB goes

Condition E: INA goes high, while INB and OUTB are still high. To avoid overshoot, OUTB is immediately pulled  
low. After some time OUTB goes low and assigns the programmed dead time to OUTA. OUTB is already low.  
After the programmed dead time, OUTA is allowed to go high.

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, as well as validating and testing their design  
implementation to confirm system functionality.  
10.1 Application Information  
The UCC2154x effectively combines both isolation and buffer-drive functions. The flexible, universal capability of  
the UCC2154x (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, dead time, and disable) and optimized switching  
performance, the UCC2154x enables designers to build smaller, more robust designs for enterprise, telecom,  
automotive, and industrial applications with a faster time to market.  
10.2 Typical Application  
The circuit in Figure 10-1 shows a reference design with the UCC2154x driving a typical half-bridge configuration  
which could be used in several popular power converter topologies such as synchronous buck, synchronous  
boost, half-bridge/full bridge isolated topologies, and 3-phase motor drive applications.

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 to 100 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 Dead Time Resistor and Capacitor  
From Equation 1, a 20-kΩ resistor is selected to set the dead time to 200 ns. A 2.2-nF capacitor is placed in  
parallel close to the DT pin to improve noise immunity.  
10.2.2.3 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, TI recommends choosing 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 2.7 Ω is selected to limit the inrush current of bootstrap diode.  
The estimated worst case peak current through DBoot is,

VBDF is the estimated bootstrap diode forward voltage drop around 4 A.  
Failure to limit the voltage to VDDx-VSSx to less than the Absolute Maximum Ratings of the FET and UCC2154x  
may result in permanent damage to the device in certain cases.  
10.2.2.4 Gate Driver Output Resistor  
The external gate driver resistors, RON/ROFF, are used to:  
Limit ringing caused by parasitic inductances/capacitances.  
Limit ringing caused by high voltage/current switching dv/dt, di/dt, and body-diode reverse recovery.  
Fine-tune gate drive strength, i.e. peak sink and source current to optimize the switching loss.  
Reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).  
As mentioned in Section 9.3.4, the UCC2154x has 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  
RNMOS ||ROH + RON + RGFET _Int  
IOA+ = min 4A,  
÷

RNMOS ||ROH + RON + RGFET _Int  
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.  
In this example:  
VDD - VBDF  
RNMOS ||ROH + RON + RGFET _Int 1.47W || 5W + 2.2W +1.5W

Therefore, the high-side and low-side peak source current is 2.3 A and 2.5 A respectively. Similarly, the peak

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.

(10)  
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.  
Failure to control OUTx voltage to less than the Absolute Maximum Ratings in the datasheet (including  
transients) may result in permanent damage to the device in certain cases. To reduce excessive gate ringing, it  
is recommended to use a ferrite bead near the gate of the FET. External clamping diodes can also be added in  
the case of extended overshoot/undershoot, in order to clamp the OUTx voltage to the VDDx and VSSx  
voltages.  
10.2.2.5 Gate to Source Resistor Selection  
A gate to source resistor, RGS, is recommended to pull down the gate to the source voltage when the gate driver  
output is unpowered and in an indeterminate state. This resistor also helps to mitigate the risk of dv/dt induced  
turn-on due to Miller current before the gate driver is able to turn on and actively pull low. This resistor is typically  
sized between 5.1kΩ and 20kΩ, depending on the Vth and ratio of CGD to CGS of the power device.  
10.2.2.6 Estimating Gate Driver Power Loss  
The total loss, PG, in the gate driver subsystem includes the power losses of the UCC2154x (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 UCC2154x , 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 7-6 and Figure 7-9 show 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 ìIVCCI + VVDDA ìIDDA + VVDDB ìIDDB = 50mW  
(11)  
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 = 2ì VDD ìQG ì fSW  
(12)  
where  
QG is the gate charge of the power transistor.  
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 = 2ì12V ì100nCì100kHz = 240mW  
(13)  
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 UCC2154x 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 UCC2154x. 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.

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.  
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 UCC2154x  
PGD, is:  
PGD = PGDQ + PGDO

which is equal to 127 mW in the design example.  
10.2.2.7 Estimating Junction Temperature  
The junction temperature of the UCC21540UCC2154x can be estimated with:  
TJ = TC + YJT ìPGD  
(18)  
where  
TJ is the junction temperature.  
TC is the UCC2154x case-top temperature measured with a thermocouple or some other instrument.  
ψJT is the junction-to-top characterization parameter from the Section 7.4 table.  
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 Section 12.1 and Semiconductor and  
IC Package Thermal Metrics application report.  
10.2.2.8 Selecting VCCI, VDDA/B Capacitor  
Bypass capacitors for VCCI, VDDA, and VDDB are essential for achieving reliable performance. TI recommends  
choosing 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.  
10.2.2.8.1 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.  
10.2.2.8.2 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 4-A, the source peak current, 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

QTotal = QG +

where

QG: Gate charge of the power transistor.

Therefore, the absolute minimum CBoot requirement is:

(20)  
where  
ΔVVDDA is the voltage ripple at VDDA, which is 0.5 V in this example.  
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 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=1F  
(21)  
Care should be taken when selecting the bootstrap capacitor to ensure that the VDD to VSS voltage does not  
drop below the recommended minimum operating level listed in section 6.3. The value of the bootstrap capacitor  
should be sized such that it can supply the initial charge to switch the power device, and then continuously  
supply the gate driver quiescent current for the duration of the high-side on-time.  
If the high-side supply voltage drops below the UVLO falling threshold, the high-side gate driver output will turn  
off and switch the power device off. Uncontrolled hard-switching of power devices can cause high di/dt and high  
dv/dt transients on the output of the driver and may result in permanent damage to the device.  
To further lower the AC impedance for a wide frequency range, it is recommended to have bypass capacitor  
placed very close to VDDx - VSSx pins with a low ESL/ESR. In this example a 100 nF, X7R ceramic capacitor, is  
placed 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.  
10.2.2.8.3 Select a VDDB Capacitor  
Channel B has the same current requirements as channel A, therefore, a VDDB capacitor (shown as CVDD in  
Figure 10-1) 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  
.
10.2.2.9 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 10-2 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.

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.

Figure 10-3. Negative Bias with Two Iso-Bias Power Supplies  
The last example, shown in Figure 10-4, 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 will 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.

10.2.3 Application Curves  
Figure 10-5 and Figure 10-6 shows the bench test waveforms for the design example shown in Figure 10-1  
under these conditions: VCC = 5.0 V, VDD = 12 V, fSW = 100 kHz, VDC-Link = 400 V.  
Channel 1 (Blue): Gate-source signal on the high side power transistor.  
Channel 2 (Cyan): Gate-source signal on the low side power transistor.  
Channel 3 (Pink): INA pin signal.  
Channel 4 (Green): INB pin signal.  
In Figure 10-5, INA and INB are sent complimentary 3.3-V, 20%/80% duty-cycle signals. 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 10-5. Note that with high voltage present, lower bandwidth differential probes are  
required, which limits the achievable accuracy of the measurement.  
Figure 10-6 shows a zoomed-in version of the waveform of Figure 10-5, with measurements for propagation  
delay and dead time. Importantly, the output waveform is measured between the power transistors’ gate and  
source pins, and is not measured directly from the driver OUTA and OUTB pins.

11 Power Supply Recommendations  
The recommended input supply voltage (VCCI) for the UCC2154x is between 3 V and 5.5 V. The output bias  
supply voltage (VDDA/VDDB) ranges from 6.0 V to 18 V. The lower end of this bias supply range is governed by  
the internal under voltage lockout (UVLO) protection feature of each device. VDD and VCCI must not fall below  
their respective UVLO thresholds during normal operation. (For more information on UVLO see Section 9.3.1).  
The upper end of the VDDA/VDDB range depends on the maximum gate voltage of the power device being  
driven by the UCC2154x . The recommended maximum VDDA/VDDB is 18 V.  
A local bypass capacitor should be placed between the VDD and VSS pins, to supply current when the output  
goes high into a capacitive load. This capacitor should be positioned as close to the device as possible to  
minimize parasitic impedance. A low ESR, ceramic surface mount capacitor is recommended. If the bypass  
capacitor impedance is too large, resistive and inductive parasitics could cause the supply voltage seen at the IC  
pins to dip below the UVLO threshold unexpectedly. To filter high frequency noise between VDD and VSS, it can  
be helpful to place a second capacitor with lower impedance at higher frequency. As an example, the primary  
bypass capacitor could be 1 µF, with a secondary high frequency bypass capacitor of 100 nF.  
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 the UCC2154x, 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 UCC2154x.  
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 in bridge configurations, the parasitic  
inductances between the source of the top transistor and the source of the bottom transistor must be  
minimized.  
To improve noise immunity when driving the DIS pin from a distant micro-controller or high impedance  
source, TI recommends adding a small bypass capacitor, ≥ 1000 pF, between the DIS pin and GND.  
If the dead time feature is used, TI recommends placing the programming resistor RDT and bypassing  
capacitor close to the DT pin of the UCC2154x to prevent noise from unintentionally coupling to the internal  
dead time circuit. The capacitor should be ≥ 2.2 nF.  
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 loop 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, 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 isolation performance.  
For half-bridge or high-side/low-side configurations, maximize the clearance distance of the PCB layout  
between the high and low-side PCB traces. The DWK package has pin12 and pin13 removed and has a  
minimum 3.3mm creepage distance which allows higher bus voltage.  
12.1.4 Thermal Considerations  
A large amount of power may be dissipated by the UCC2154x if the driving voltage is high, the load is heavy,  
or the switching frequency is high (refer to Section 10.2.2.6 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 12-2 and Figure 12-3). 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 copper from different high-voltage planes overlap.

12.2 Layout Example  
Figure 12-1 shows a 2-layer PCB layout example with the signals and key components labeled for the SOIC-14  
DW package, which has Pin 12 and Pin 13 removed. For more detailed information, please refer to the  
UCC21540EVM design - "Using the UCC21540EVM - TI"  
Figure 12-1. Layout Example  
Figure 12-2 and Figure 12-3 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.
