Product details
Overview
UCC21732QDWQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive reinforced isolated single-channel gate driver for SiC MOSFETs and IGBTs, delivering ±10A peak source/sink drive strength, 5.7kVRMS isolation, 150V/ns CMTI, and integrated isolated analog sensing with PWM output. It enables high-reliability traction inverter and on-board charger designs operating up to 2121Vpk DC bus voltage.
For engineers reviewing the UCC21732QDWQ1 datasheet, UCC21732QDWQ1 pinout, UCC21732QDWQ1 application, or UCC21732QDWQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include reinforced isolation certification (VDE 0884-17, UL 1577), fast 270ns overcurrent response, split-output architecture, active Miller clamp support, and isolated temperature/voltage sensing capability via APWM.
Technical Context
The UCC21732QDWQ1 employs SiO₂ capacitive isolation with >8mm creepage/clearance, supporting 1.5kVRMS working voltage and 12.8kVPK surge immunity. Its dual-supply gate drive stage (VDD–VEE up to 33V) delivers low-impedance pull-up (≤2.5Ω) and pull-down (≤0.7Ω) paths optimized for fast SiC switching.
It integrates a fault-tolerant protection chain: OC detection with <120ns deglitch filtering, internal 2-level turn-off (9–10V threshold, 500–1000ns duration), external Miller clamp control (CLMPE), and open-drain FLT/RDY reporting. The isolated analog sensor (AIN→APWM) provides 10kHz bandwidth and 360–440kHz PWM output for NTC/PTC or DC-link voltage monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum DC bus voltage supported by the UCC21732QDWQ1?
The UCC21732QDWQ1 supports SiC MOSFETs and IGBTs operating up to 2121Vpk DC bus voltage, validated by its 2121VPK repetitive peak isolation rating (VIORM) per DIN EN IEC 60747-17. This enables direct use in 800V battery architectures with margin for transients and ripple.
Does the UCC21732QDWQ1 require external components for basic gate driving functionality?
Yes - the UCC21732QDWQ1 requires external decoupling capacitors: ≥1μF between VCC and GND, and ≥10μF each between VDD–COM and VEE–COM. It also needs pull-up/pull-down resistors on IN+/IN– if unused, and a small capacitor (e.g., 100pF) from AIN to COM for noise immunity. No external level shifters or isolation amplifiers are needed due to integrated features.
How does the isolated analog sensing (AIN→APWM) function in the UCC21732QDWQ1?
The UCC21732QDWQ1 converts analog voltage applied to AIN (0.6–4.5V, referenced to COM) into a proportional PWM signal on APWM (360–440kHz, 7–91% duty cycle). This enables isolated temperature sensing using NTC/PTC thermistors or DC-link voltage monitoring without external ADCs or digital isolators - reducing system size and cost.
What protection features are built into the UCC21732QDWQ1 for SiC/IGBT reliability?
The UCC21732QDWQ1 includes fast overcurrent detection (<120ns deglitch, 270ns response), internal 2-level turn-off (9–10V threshold, 500–1000ns duration), external active Miller clamp (CLMPE pin), input/output UVLO (12V VDD, 3V VCC), and 150V/ns CMTI. These features collectively prevent shoot-through, false turn-on, and thermal runaway in high-dV/dt SiC applications.
Is the UCC21732QDWQ1 pin-compatible with other TI isolated gate drivers?
No - the UCC21732QDWQ1 has a unique 16-pin SOIC-DW pinout optimized for its integrated analog sensing (AIN, APWM), dual-rail gate drive (OUTH, OUTL, CLMPE), and automotive fault reporting (FLT, RDY). It is not pin-compatible with UCC5870-Q1 (24-pin), UCC21520 (8-pin), or earlier UCC217xx variants; PCB layout must be designed specifically for UCC21732QDWQ1.
