Product details
Overview
UCC27614DR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, low-side gate driver IC designed to drive MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC, and GaN power switches in high-frequency switching power stages. It delivers 10-A peak source/sink current, features 17.5-ns typical propagation delay, supports –10-V input tolerance, and operates across 4.5 V to 26 V VDD with integrated UVLO. It is deployed in telecom SMPS, PFC circuits, and solar inverters where fast, robust gate control is critical.
For engineers reviewing the UCC27614DR datasheet, UCC27614DR pinout, UCC27614DR application, or UCC27614DR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SON8 package layout guidance, TTL-compatible input thresholds independent of VDD, EN-controlled fault shutdown capability, and design-meaning context for Miller immunity, dead-time optimization, and ground-bounce resilience.
Technical Context
The UCC27614DR implements a hybrid output stage with parallel N- and P-channel MOSFETs: the N-channel device activates briefly during turn-on to deliver boosted 10-A peak source current into the Miller plateau, while the P-channel provides steady-state pull-up. Its input stage uses fixed TTL thresholds (1 V low / 2 V high) with 1-V hysteresis and internal 120-kΩ pulldown (IN/IN+) and 200-kΩ pullup (IN−/EN), enabling direct interfacing with 3.3-V/5-V controllers without level shifting.
UVLO is set at 4.1-V rising threshold with 0.3-V hysteresis, forcing active low output below threshold to prevent erratic switching at power-up/down. The EN pin functions as both enable control and secondary logic input, with identical threshold behavior and –10-V reverse voltage tolerance-critical for systems experiencing moderate ground bounce or transformer-coupled drive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | ±10 A - Enables rapid charging/discharging of large gate capacitances (e.g., >10 nC SiC FETs), reducing switching losses and improving efficiency in high-frequency (>500 kHz) topologies. |
| Propagation Delay | 17.5 ns (typ) - Minimizes timing skew between controller PWM and power switch edge, supporting precise dead-time control and improved transient response in synchronous rectification and resonant converters. |
| VDD Operating Range | 4.5 V to 26 V - Accommodates wide bias supply variation (e.g., 12-V or 24-V bus rails) while maintaining stable drive strength and logic compatibility across industrial and telecom power architectures. |
| Input Voltage Range | –10 V to 30 V - Withstands negative transients on IN/EN pins during ground bounce, eliminating need for external clamping diodes in noisy high-dV/dt environments like motor drives or PFC boost stages. |
| UVLO Threshold | 4.1 V (rising), 3.8 V (falling) - Ensures clean, glitch-free startup/shutdown by holding OUT low until VDD stabilizes above minimum operating voltage, preventing partial turn-on of power devices. |
| Rise/Fall Time | 6 ns / 5.5 ns (typ, CL = 1.8 nF) - Supports <10-ns pulse fidelity required for MHz-class GaN half-bridges and reduces EMI through controlled edge rates when paired with external gate resistors. |
| Input Threshold | 1.0 V (low), 2.0 V (high), 1-V hysteresis - Guarantees noise-immune logic interpretation across temperature (–40°C to 150°C) and supply variation, compatible with standard microcontroller and DSP PWM outputs. |
Pinout & Package
UCC27614DR is packaged in an 8-pin 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm SON (DSG) thermally enhanced leadless package with exposed thermal pad connected to GND. This compact footprint enables placement adjacent to power switches for minimal loop inductance and optimal thermal dissipation via PCB copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+ | Non-inverting input | Accepts PWM signal directly; if unused, tie to VDD to prevent floating; internal 120-kΩ pulldown ensures safe low state during controller reset or tri-state. |
| IN− | Inverting input | Enables polarity selection (inverting/non-inverting mode); if unused, tie to GND; internal 200-kΩ pullup prevents unintended activation during noise events. |
| EN | Enable control | TTL-compatible enable pin with same thresholds as IN pins; floating = enabled; driven low = immediate output disable; supports system-level fault shutdown without controller intervention. |
| OUT | Driver output | Dual-source output pins (pins 4 & 5) must be shorted externally; delivers rail-to-rail swing (GND to VDD) with 0.34-Ω pulldown impedance for Miller immunity. |
| VDD | Power supply | Bias input requiring dual bypass (≥1 µF + 0.1 µF ceramics to GND); absolute max 30 V; UVLO protects against undervoltage-induced shoot-through. |
| GND | Reference ground | Pins 2 & 3 are dedicated GND connections; thermal pad must be soldered to large GND plane for RθJB = 33.4°C/W performance and SOA compliance at 150°C junction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| –10-V input tolerance | Prevents false triggering during ground bounce up to 10 V undershoot, eliminating need for external negative clamping in telecom and motor drive applications. |
| Hybrid pull-up architecture | N+P-MOSFET output stage delivers 10-A peak source current only during Miller plateau, minimizing conduction loss while maximizing dV/dt immunity. |
| Active pulldown in UVLO | Forces OUT low when VDD drops below 3.8 V, ensuring fail-safe power stage shutdown during brownout or soft-start sequencing. |
| VDD-independent TTL thresholds | Fixed 1-V/2-V input logic thresholds maintain consistent timing and noise margin across full 4.5–26-V VDD range and –40°C to 150°C operation. |
| Low 0.34-Ω pulldown resistance | Suppresses Miller-induced spurious turn-on in SiC/GaN FETs and IGBTs by shunting CGD displacement current during high dV/dt transitions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-side gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC27624DR | Same 10-A drive, but dual-channel; includes independent IN+/IN− per channel and higher 30-V VDD rating. | Requires two matched drivers in half-bridge or multi-phase designs; not suitable for single-channel cost-sensitive layouts. | Select UCC27624DR only when dual independent outputs are needed; UCC27614DR offers lower footprint and BOM cost for single-switch topologies. |
| LM5113SDX/NOPB | 10-A sink / 5-A source asymmetry; no –10-V input rating; 25-V max VDD; SOIC-8 only. | Limited to 5-A source current-insufficient for fast SiC/GaN turn-on; lacks ground-bounce resilience in high-noise motor drives. | Choose LM5113SDX/NOPB only for legacy SOIC-8 board reuse or cost-sensitive 5-A applications; UCC27614DR provides superior symmetry and robustness. |
Compared with UCC27624DR and LM5113SDX/NOPB, the UCC27614DR uniquely balances single-channel simplicity, symmetrical ±10-A drive, –10-V input tolerance, and SON8 thermal performance-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability low-side switching in telecom, solar, and industrial power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the IN and EN pins of the UCC27614DR?
The UCC27614DR input and enable pins tolerate –10 V continuously, but caution is required when both amplitude exceeds 15 V *and* slew rate exceeds 2 V/ns. In such cases, a 150-Ω series resistor is recommended per pin to limit transient current into the internal protection structure. The UCC27614DR datasheet specifies this condition explicitly to prevent latch-up or parametric shift under extreme edge rates.
Can the UCC27614DR drive a 1200-V SiC MOSFET with 45-nC total gate charge?
Yes-the UCC27614DR delivers 10-A peak source current, enabling sub-50-ns gate charge delivery for 45-nC devices at 12-V VDD (tg ≈ Qg/Ipeak = 4.5 ns). Its hybrid pull-up architecture sustains high current specifically during the Miller plateau, critical for SiC FETs. The UCC27614DR's 0.34-Ω pulldown also mitigates Miller turn-on during 50–100-kV/µs dV/dt events common in 1200-V SiC topologies.
Does the UCC27614DR require external bootstrap components when used in a high-side configuration?
No-the UCC27614DR is a dedicated low-side gate driver and does not support high-side operation. It lacks bootstrap diode integration, floating supply capability, or level-shifting circuitry. For high-side drive, TI recommends complementary devices like the UCC27611 (single high-side) or UCC27624 (dual-channel with independent inputs). Using the UCC27614DR in high-side roles will result in incorrect biasing and potential damage.
How does the UCC27614DR's UVLO behavior differ from standard gate drivers during power-down?
Unlike drivers that float or retain last state, the UCC27614DR actively pulls OUT low when VDD falls below 3.8 V (UVLO falling threshold). This ensures the driven power switch remains safely off during brownout or uncontrolled power-down sequences-preventing shoot-through in half-bridge configurations. The UCC27614DR's 0.3-V hysteresis eliminates chatter near the threshold, and its 7.5-µs UVLO OFF delay guarantees clean, monotonic shutdown even with noisy bias rails.
Is the thermal pad of the UCC27614DR electrically connected to GND internally?
Yes-the exposed thermal pad of the UCC27614DR is internally connected to the GND net and must be soldered to a large PCB copper pour tied to system GND. While it is not a low-impedance path for signal return, it provides critical thermal conduction (RθJB = 33.4°C/W) and improves reliability at 150°C junction temperature. TI's datasheet explicitly states "Connect to GND through large copper plane" and warns that omitting this connection degrades thermal performance and risks SOA violation under sustained 10-A load.
