UCC27517: Regarding pulse width restriction

Part Number: UCC27517

Hi,

I am considering using the gate driver of UCC27517.
I have the following questions among them.

(1) Is there a limit on the pulse width (MIN) of the signal input to the IN + and IN- pins?
For example, when pulses with a width of several ns or less are input, it becomes ineffective, etc.

(2) Is there a limit on the pulse width (MIN) output from OUT pin?
For example, pulses with a width of several ns or less can not be output.

Best Regards,

  • Hello Kaji,

    I am an applications engineer with the High Power Driver group at TI and I will work to address your questions. The UCC27517 does not have a minimum pulse width response specific parameter in the datasheet. The driver output response to a minimum input pulse width can be expected to be a maximum value of the input to output propagation delay specification. For the UCC27517 the maximum propagation delays are 23 to 30ns depending on VDD and the IN+ or IN- input. In many cases the driver output will respond to input pulse widths that are less than the propagation delays, but worst case the output will respond within the propagation delay time.
