DESCRIPTION
The UCC37323/4/5 family of high-speed dual
MOSFET drivers can deliver large peak currents
into capacitive loads.Three standard logic options
are offered – dual-inverting, dual-noninverting
and one-inverting and one-noninverting driver.
The thermally enhanced 8-pin PowerPADTM
MSOP package (DGN) drastically lowers the
thermal resistance to improve long-term reliability.
It is also offered in the standard SOIC-8 (D) or
PDIP-8 (P) packages.
that
Using a design
inherently minimizes
shoot-through current, these drivers deliver 4-A of
current where it is needed most at the Miller
plateau region during the MOSFET switching
transition. A unique BiPolar and MOSFET hybrid
output stage in parallel also allows efficient current
sourcing and sinking at low supply voltages.

general information
APPLICATION INFORMATION
High frequency power supplies often require high-speed, high-current drivers such as the UCC37323/4/5 family.
A leading application is the need to provide a high power buffer stage between the PWM output of the control
IC and the gates of the primary power MOSFET or IGBT switching devices. In other cases, the driver IC is
utilized to drive 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.
Driver ICs are utilized when it is not feasible to have the primary PWM regulator IC directly drive the switching
devices for one or more reasons. The PWM IC 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 ICs 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
UCC37323/4/5. Finally, the control IC 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
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The input thresholds have a 3.3−V logic sensitivity over the full range of VDD voltage; yet it is equally compatable
with 0 V to VDD signals.
The inputs of UCC37323/4/5 family of drivers are designed to withstand 500-mA reverse current without either
damage to the IC for logic upset. 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 input stages to the drivers function
as a digital gate, and they are 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, limit the rise or fall times to the power
device, 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 IC
package, as discussed in the section on Thermal Considerations.
output stage
Inverting outputs of the UCC37323 and OUTA of the UCC37325 are intended to drive external P-channel
MOSFETs. Noninverting outputs of the UCC37324 and OUTB of the UCC37325 are intended to drive external
N-channel MOSFETs.
Each output stage is capable of supplying ±4-A peak current pulses and swings to both VDD and GND. The
pullup/ pulldown 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.
The UCC37323 family delivers 4-A of gate drive where it is most needed during the MOSFET switching
transition – at the Miller plateau region – providing improved efficiency gains. A unique BiPolar and MOSFET
hybrid output stage in parallel also allows efficient current sourcing at low supply voltages.

source/sink capabilities during Miller plateau
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Large power MOSFETs present a large load to the control circuitry. Proper drive is required for efficient, reliable
operation. The UCC37323/4/5 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 IC. [1]
Two circuits are used to test the current capabilities of the UCC37323 driver. In each case external circuitry is
added to clamp the output near 5 V while the IC 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 first circuit in Figure 2 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 UCC37323 is found to
sink 4.5 A at VDD = 15 V and 4.28 A at VDD = 12 V.

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.
parallel outputs
The A and B drivers may be combined into a single driver by connecting the INA/INB inputs together and the
OUTA/OUTB outputs together. Then, a single signal can control the paralleled combination as shown in
