UCC5350: High side drive (900V Bus)

Part Number: UCC5350

Hi,

May I use UCC5350(M) as high side driver in 900 Volts Bus/DC-link application? Is the highest voltage defined as "VIOWM"?

-----------------------------------

As described in the datasheet, VIOWM is only 700Volts for D package.

------------------------------------

If not, what choice do I have then?

Thanks for your help.

  • Hi DongFeng,

    Thank you for your question. I work on the applications team in the high power drivers group.

    VIOWM is the derated rms voltage that the isolator can continuously withstand for 37.5 years. This is actually derated by 1.2x as required by certifying agencies. If you look at table 8.7 in the datasheet, the DC working voltage for the DWV package is approximately sqrt(2) * 1500Vrms = 2121V. Extrapolating back for the D package, this would imply a DC working voltage of sqrt(2) * 700Vrms = 989V. Feel free to read more about high voltage isolation definitions and test methodologies in the paper linked below.

    UCC5350 in D package should be capable of operating as a functional isolation high-side driver on a 900V bus application. You will also need to consider creepage and clearance requirements, since this package provides >4mm creepage/clearance. If you need more than 4mm, you might consider using one of the drivers in DWV package, such as UCC5310MCDWV.

    Thanks and best regards,
