Product details
Overview
UCC27525DR from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, low-side gate driver IC with independent enable inputs, 5A peak source/sink current per channel, 13ns typical propagation delay, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds independent of VDD. It drives MOSFETs and IGBTs in high-frequency power stages such as synchronous rectifiers and GaN-based DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the UCC27525DR datasheet, UCC27525DR pinout, UCC27525DR application, or UCC27525DR equivalent, key selection criteria include channel independence, enable-controlled operation, rail-to-rail output swing, UVLO-protected startup behavior, and thermal performance in SOIC-8 packaging.
Technical Context
The UCC27525DR implements two independent low-side drivers with separate ENA/ENB control pins and distinct input configurations: INA is inverting, INB is non-inverting. Its internal UVLO circuit holds both outputs low until VDD exceeds 4.2V (typ), ensuring glitch-free power-up. Propagation delays are tightly matched (1ns typ) between channels to support synchronous switching.
Input thresholds (VIN_H = 2.1V typ, VIN_L = 1.2V typ) and enable thresholds (VEN_H = 2.1V typ, VEN_L = 1.15V typ) are voltage-independent and feature 0.9V hysteresis for noise immunity. Outputs remain low when inputs float due to internal pullup/pulldown resistors-critical for safety-critical power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak drive current | ±5A per channel - enables fast switching of high-Qg GaN FETs and IGBTs |
| Propagation delay | 13ns typical - supports >50 MHz effective switching frequencies in hard-switched topologies |
| Delay matching | 1ns typical - ensures precise timing alignment for synchronous rectifier or paralleled-output configurations |
| VDD operating range | 4.5V to 18V - accommodates 5V, 12V, and 15V bias rails without level-shifting |
| UVLO threshold | 4.2V rising, 3.9V falling - prevents erratic output during brown-out or soft-start conditions |
| Rise/fall time | 7ns/6ns typical (1.8nF load) - minimizes switching losses in high-frequency SMPS |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +140°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor-control environments |
Pinout & Package
UCC27525DR is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D) body measuring 4.90mm × 3.91mm with standard industry footprint and creepage clearance. The exposed pad variant is not used in this orderable part.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - ENA | Enable input for Channel A | Active-high; floating or HIGH enables OUTA; LOW forces OUTA low regardless of INA state |
| 2 - INA | Inverting input for Channel A | Drives OUTA inverted; held low when floating via internal VDD pullup |
| 3 - GND | Power and signal reference | Common return path for VDD, inputs, and outputs; must be low-inductance connection |
| 4 - INB | Non-inverting input for Channel B | Drives OUTB non-inverted; held low when floating via internal GND pulldown |
| 5 - OUTB | Channel B output | Low-side driver output capable of ±5A peak; rail-to-rail swing with <75mV VOL at 10mA |
| 6 - VDD | Supply input | Bias rail for all internal circuits; requires local 0.1µF + 1µF bypassing per TI layout guidelines |
| 7 - OUTA | Channel A output | Low-side driver output with identical specs to OUTB; matched delay enables synchronous use |
| 8 - ENB | Enable input for Channel B | Independent control of OUTB; same electrical behavior as ENA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs | ENA/ENB allow per-channel shutdown without affecting other channel's timing or logic state |
| Mixed input polarity | INA (inverting) + INB (non-inverting) simplifies interface to asymmetric PWM controllers or dead-time generators |
| VDD-independent logic thresholds | TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs operate reliably across 3.3V, 5V, and 12V controller interfaces |
| UVLO-protected startup | Outputs remain low until VDD ≥ 4.2V, eliminating shoot-through risk during power ramp |
| Floating-input safety | Internal pullup/pulldown resistors force OUTA/OUTB low if INA or INB floats - meets IEC 62368-1 abnormal condition requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-side dual gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC27524DR | Dual non-inverting inputs; no enable pins; same SOIC-8 package and drive strength | Lacks per-channel enable control; unsuitable where independent shutdown is required | Select UCC27524DR only when both channels must always follow identical input signals without gating |
| LM5112MG/NOPB | Single-channel, 5A driver with adjustable delay; MSOP-8 package; no enable function | Requires two units for dual-channel operation; higher board area and BOM count | Choose LM5112MG/NOPB when fine-tuned propagation delay tuning or space-constrained layouts favor MSOP over SOIC |

FAQ
What is the input logic configuration of the UCC27525DR?
The UCC27525DR features one inverting input (INA) and one non-inverting input (INB), enabling direct interface to asymmetric PWM controllers or dead-time generators without external inverters. This differs from UCC27523 (dual inverting) and UCC27524 (dual non-inverting). The UCC27525DR's pinout and internal logic are fixed per device variant and cannot be reconfigured.
Does the UCC27525DR support parallel operation of its two outputs?
Yes, the UCC27525DR supports paralleling OUTA and OUTB to achieve up to 10A peak drive current for demanding GaN or SiC switch applications. TI confirms this capability in the datasheet Section 3, noting matched propagation delays (1ns typ) and identical output stage design ensure balanced current sharing when outputs are tied together with minimal trace-length mismatch.
What happens to the outputs of the UCC27525DR when the input pins are left unconnected?
When INA or INB floats, internal pullup (INA) or pulldown (INB) resistors force the respective output low-OUTA goes low if INA floats, and OUTB goes low if INB floats. This fail-safe behavior is explicitly documented in Section 5 and ensures predictable, safe shutdown during open-circuit or disconnected control signals, satisfying IEC 62368-1 abnormal condition testing.
What is the minimum VDD voltage required for reliable operation of the UCC27525DR?
The UCC27525DR has a guaranteed minimum operating VDD of 4.5V per Section 6.3. Below this, UVLO activates and holds outputs low. The rising UVLO threshold is 3.7V (min) to 4.5V (max), with typical 4.2V; hysteresis ensures stable release above 3.9V. Operation below 4.5V is not recommended for functional output-TI specifies 4.5V as absolute minimum for normal logic and drive performance.
How does the UCC27525DR handle enable pin logic levels?
The UCC27525DR's ENA and ENB pins accept TTL/CMOS-compatible voltages independent of VDD: logic high is ≥2.1V (typ), logic low is ≤1.15V (typ), with 0.9V hysteresis. Pins default to enabled when floating due to internal VDD pullups. This allows direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers even when VDD = 12V, and eliminates need for level shifters in mixed-voltage systems.
