Hi TI.
I am currently working on a split power supply for a gatedrive, but I need to know how much current that will flow out/in of the GND2 pin of the UCC5390ECDWV. Please also take max temperature into account.
Thank you!

Hi, Soren,
Welcome to e2e, and thanks for your interest in our products!
For the UCC5390E GND2 pin, as you noted, it is used as a reference for the UVLO circuitry to accommodate split-supply operation. Since it is used as a sensing reference, very little current will flow in/out of it. We don't specify this, but you can assume it will be on the order of tens of microamps if used as shown in in Figure 4 of the users guide. NOTE: R2 is zero ohms, and R3 is open, thus tying the GND2 pin to ground as shown in Table 1.
Let us know if you have further questions.
