UCC27211: is there a full-bridge drive recommendation with similar functions?

Part Number: UCC27211
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SM72295, UCC27714, , UCC27624, DRV8210

We need to choose a full-bridge driver for lighting UV lamps, input 5V DC, use full-bridge drive transformer boosting, our output AC1000V, power 2W。We chose a half-bridge drive  27211, is there a full-bridge drive recommendation with similar functions?

  • Hi Aiwen,

    Thank you for reaching out! SM72295 is the only full-bridge driver in our team's portfolio: Link to product folder

    Is the 5V input VDD? Also, what is the max DC bus voltage? Due to the 1kVrms output, maybe one of our 600V Half-Bridge devices such as UCC27714 might work better: Link

    SM72295 has a max boot voltage of 115V compared to UCC27211's 120V rating. SM72295 also has a peak pull-up and pull-down current of 3A compared to UCC27211's rating of 4A. Both drivers have ~7V undervoltage lockout. 

    Another consideration for choosing between devices will be the layout. Using two half bridge drivers will enable an easier layout with shorter traces than the fully integrated full-bridge driver.

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Best,

  • Hi  Alex;

    I am really gratefully for your reply,  Our circuits have high requirements for the layout board,We have  look TPS51601 and UCC27211,  but they are  all External MOS,So,is there another one whitch internal MOS,,can I use a  motor driver Implement this function?

  • Hello Aiwen,

    Alex Weaver is out today. 

    Technically, the output stages of our drivers are power MOSFETs, and I have seen them used in push-pull configurations like this if the power requirement is low enough (usually under 2W for bias supplies). 

    Here is an example of how it would be connected. Each output stage has a pullup and pulldown FET, and therefore forms a full-bridge. 

    Like you say though, many of TI's motor drivers integrate the power stage FETs into the driver, and are therefore more powerful. If you would rather pursue that option, I can send the thread to the motor driver's team. This option can sustain a higher power. 

    Thanks,

    Alex M.

  • Hi Alex M;

    Which document is this figure in? I don't see this graph in the data sheet。This chip does not have a built-in MOS, directly drive the transformer like this?

  • Hi Aiwen,

    It will likely be in a document that hasn't released yet. Here is an image in Fundamentals of Gate driver circuits that shows a similar topology:

    This is for gate drive, but it is possible to rectify the secondary for a floating power supply.

    Here is a driver's output stage, the power FETs are optimized to deliver peak current during switching, rather than to conduct large currents in a DC state. The DC RDSon of these FETs are about 5ohms and 0.5ohms for pullup and pulldown respectively. This is probably much higher resistance than a motor driver IC with a built-in power stage, but is still able to handle low-power applications. So yes, you could drive a small transformer directly with a gate driver IC, as long as the primary current required is below around 100-200mA in this case.

    Thanks,

    Alex M.

  • Hi  Alex M;

     you mean UCC27624 also needs external MOS? Is there a way  with  internal MOS or not to use an external MOS?Due to my customer's PCB board structure limitations, MOS can not be placed here, so we must choose a built-in MOS driver to save PCB space, 27624 will still use  external  MOS in the output stage, if so, Could  you please recommend the internal MOS driver or send the thread to the motor driver's team?

  • Hello,

    If I understand correctly, you have a 5V power supply?  DRV8210 could be one option to meet this.

  • Hi Ryan;

    Thanks for your reply, it`s really  helpful to me ,in  addition, Are there any recommendations for using motor drives to drive UV lamps reference designs?Can I follow the reference design of the drive motor directly? Is there anything else to pay attention to?

  • Hi ,

    Thank you for your question. Ryan is OoO on Friday. Please expect his reply on early of next week.

    regards

    Shinya

  • Hello,

    Unfortunately, I am not aware of any UV lamp reference designs.

    Regards,
