UCC21520-Q1: Creepage question on pins 12 and 13

Part Number: UCC21520-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCC21520

Hello,

I am interested in using the UCC21520 part although I note that the presence of the pins 12 and 13 reduces the creepage distance between the upper and lower side external pins. I can see no reason as to why these pins physically exist as this just reduces the amount of creepage distance that is available. Certain competitor parts adopt this approach which helps in a number of ways. The ability to set dead time with a capacitor is of particular interest to me however.

Sincerely,

Rob.
