TI half-bridge gate driver improves power system performance in hybrid vehicles

Fastest 120-V high-side/low-side gate driver reduces switching loss and minimizes noise for greater efficiency and longer mileage

DALLAS, July 8, 2015 — (PRNewswire) —  Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced the industry's fastest 120-V automotive grade half-bridge gate driver with robust handling features. This driver provides a propagation delay at 15ns with short rise and fall times and the tightest delay matching of 1ns for 12-V to 48-V DC/DC power supplies. The UCC27201A-Q1 high-side/low-side gate driver offers advanced noise tolerance, resulting in improved overall system performance for hybrid vehicles.

TI half-bridge gate driver improves power system performance in hybrid vehicles

The UCC27201A-Q1 is the only automotive gate driver to offer negative voltage handling capability on the high-side pin, making the product more immune to noise. An integrated 120-V bootstrap diode also allows for N-channel MOSFET control and eliminates the need for external discrete diodes.

Key features and benefits of the UCC27201A-Q1:

Complementary devices to maximize system performance
The UCC27201A-Q1 can be used in combination with any digital controller such as the UCD3138, C2000™ LaunchPad™ development kits, ultra-low-power MSP430TM microcontrollers or any analog controller in high-efficiency hybrid systems.

Tools and support to speed design
Designers can quickly develop and debug applications by using the TINA-TI™ and PSpice models to quickly simulate system performance.

Package, pricing and availability
UCC27201A-Q1 is now available in the TI store and through the company's authorized distribution network. The UCC27201A-Q1 automotive gate driver comes in a small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC)-8 package and is priced at US$1.62 in 1,000 unit-quantities.
