UCC27524: Questions for UCC27524 Threshold at different VDD voltage

Part Number: UCC27524
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCC27423

Hi Experts,

We have shown the enable threshold vs. temperature curve in the datasheet regarding to VDD=12V and VDD=4.5V, but customer wants to know what it is about on VDD=15V, can you kindly help to provide? Thanks a lot!

  • Hi Jacky,

    Thanks for reaching out to us about this question. This spec is characterized across temperature to account for any variation. Since there is not an EN (or IN) threshold vs VDD voltage plot in the datasheet or in char test data we can assume that this spec does not have significant variation to be of concern. The EN threshold at any VDD voltage should be the same.

    Its important to note that across temperature the input has a negative temp coeff that can span from 230k at -40C to 130k at 140C. This pull up resistance variation will create variation of the voltage on this pin across temp, however it will stay constant across VDD voltage.

    Hope this answers your question, please let me know if you have any more!

    Thanks,

  • Hi Jeffrey,

    Thanks for the reply, but we are still confused about below two plots in the datasheet, I mean that at the same temperature like 0C and 50C, you can see the EN threshold is different at 12V VDD and 4.5V VDD, can you kindly help to explain about this? Thanks a lot!

      

  • Jacky!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lao peng you, how have you been?

    There seems to be a slight dependency on VDD as you've highlighted. Clearly, at VDD=15V, the thresholds will be shifted up. Let me have our colleague see what we can find on this.
  • Hi Jacky,

    Thanks Don,

    Just wanted to update you guys on what I have found on this so far.

    As I understand it, the added leakage (for ex - 22.5uA at 4.5v and 60uA at 12v as far as 100ua at 20v AMR) is creating more current in the hysteresis circuit (This is assuming that there is a pullup to VDD from the hysteresis circuit making the slight dependency)

    This higher hysteresis current equals a higher potential difference on the comparator inputs which makes a higher voltage threshold as well as slightly higher hysteresis. I was unable to predict the EN thresh when VDD=15v however from what we know we can predict that 15v threshold will be very similar to 12v threshold or about 0.1v higher is so. This is apparent in figure 27 of UCC27423 datasheet.
    also, I believe the input threshold would have the same dependency of VDD toward the threshold.

    Hopefully our colleague mentioned in Dons post can further clear things up,
    thanks,
  • Hi Jacky,

    I ran a couple tests in the lab and found that for VDD= 15V the enable threshold will behave within the electrical characteristics and very similar to the Figure 10 in the datasheet.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Carissa,

    Thanks a lot for the comfirmation.

  • Hey Don,
    Long time no see, I have been all right, Ha Ha~
