Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCC21530, TIDA-01605, UCC5350
Hello,
I am planning to use UCC21520 for SiC MOSFET based full bridge design. My operation frequency would be around 100kHz. I selected UCC21520 in order to achieve the isolation between the power and signal side. However, during design I am stuck at deciding how to select power supply for the VCC and VDDA/B.
My questions are following:
1. If I use same power supply for VCC and VDDA/VDDB ( say 15V) would that work? I would use a laboratory 15V power supply ( isolated) and connect the ground of the power supply to the ground pin of the IC.
2. If I indeed need to use two power supplies say 3,3V +GND1 for VCC and 15V +GND2 for both VDDs, how do I deal with two new ground points? and how would they connected to the GND pin of the IC.
3. Speaking of grounds, I am planning to carry over the PWM signal to H-Bridge board from another PCB that has its own auxiliary power supply. I will carry over the PWM signals and and respective ground ( SGND) to the H_bridge PCB. How should I deal with this SGND with respect to aforementioned GND1 (and /or GND2).
Since, aim of using the IC is to achieve isolation from SGND and PGND, I am really confused how to deal with other grounds ? Your kind support is solicited.
