UCC27714: Can we power UCC27714 HB to HS with dedicated power supply?

Part Number: UCC27714
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN6501

Hi,

in our datasheet typical applications, bootstrap circuit is used to power HB, 

I want to confirm that I can use dedicated power to power between HB and HS instead of boostrap diode and capacitor, right?

  • Hi Howard, 

    Thanks for your help promoting our devices.

    You can in fact use dedicated isolated foating supply to provide bias to HB-HS pin so long as the biased voltage is within the recommended operating conditions of the pin. This is common in the case of high duty cycle operations where the high side gate must be maintained above the HB-HS UVLO threshold. 

    We have used in the past SN6501 + transformer to achieve as shown below.

    You can further send me an email about the application requirement and I will help address any concerns and review your schematic.

    Regards,
