The UCC5713x-Q1 device is a single-channel, high-speed, gate driver capable of effectively driving MOSFET, SiC MOSFET, and IGBT power switches with 3A source and 3A sink (symmetrical drive) peak current. The driver has a good transient handling capability on its output due to reverse currents, as well as rail-to-rail drive capability and small propagation delay, typically 26ns. The device has the over current detection and fault reporting function to the low voltage side DSP/MCU. When the over current signal detected on the OCP pin, the internal circuit will pull down the EN/FLT pin to report fault and force the OUT to low stage.

The input threshold of UCC5713x-Q1 is compatible to TTL low-voltage logic, which is fixed and independent of VDD supply voltage. The driver can also work with CMOS based controllers as long as the threshold requirement is met. The 1V typical hysteresis offers excellent noise immunity.

Externall pull up circuir on the EN/FLT is required during the normal operation of the driver. Pulling the EN/FLT low will disable the driver. The EN/FLT would also report the under voltage lock out (UVLO) fault on VDD and the over temperature fault.
