Product details
Overview
UCC57108BQDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified low-side gate driver for automotive IGBT and SiC MOSFETs, delivering ±3 A peak source/sink current, 26 ns typical propagation delay, DESAT protection with 150 ns leading-edge blanking, and operation from –40°C to 150°C junction temperature - deployed in HEV/EV PTC heaters and traction inverter active discharge circuits.
For engineers reviewing the UCC57108BQDRQ1 datasheet, UCC57108BQDRQ1 pinout, UCC57108BQDRQ1 application, or UCC57108BQDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6.5 V DESAT threshold, soft turn-off pulldown resistance of 35 Ω, UVLO options (8 V or 12.5 V), 5 V reference output capability, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with high-noise automotive power stages.
Technical Context
The UCC57108BQDRQ1 implements a rail-to-rail NMOS/PMOS output stage with intrinsic bootstrap-assisted pull-up, enabling fast switching into high-capacitance IGBT/SiC gates while maintaining robustness against ground bounce via –5 V tolerant inputs. Its DESAT circuit activates only during ON-state, using a 250 µA internal charge current and deglitch filter to reject false triggers.
Functional safety features include independent UVLO monitoring per bias rail (VDD and VEE), thermal shutdown at 180°C with 30°C hysteresis, and active-low FLT reporting synchronized to fault detection - all implemented without external components beyond the DESAT blanking capacitor and FLT pull-up resistor.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC57102BQDRQ1 | Same SOIC-8 package and pinout; identical electrical specs except UVLO set to 12.5 V (non-configurable) | Optimized for 24 V bias systems where 8 V UVLO is unnecessary; no impact on DESAT or thermal behavior | Select UCC57102BQDRQ1 when fixed 12.5 V UVLO simplifies BOM and eliminates configuration risk. |
| UCC5870QDWQ1 | Higher 6 A peak drive, integrated isolated DC/DC, but larger SOIC-16 package and no VREF output | Targets higher-power traction inverters needing isolation; lacks 5 V reference for auxiliary circuitry | Choose UCC5870QDWQ1 only when isolation and >4 A drive are mandatory - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with UCC57108BQDRQ1, UCC57102BQDRQ1 offers identical performance with fixed 12.5 V UVLO, while UCC5870QDWQ1 trades VREF and compact SOIC-8 for isolation and higher drive - making UCC57108BQDRQ1 optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained PTC and auxiliary inverter designs.

FAQ
What is the UVLO configuration for UCC57108BQDRQ1?
The UCC57108BQDRQ1 features an 8 V UVLO rising threshold (7.6–8.4 V) with 1 V hysteresis, enabling reliable startup from 12 V automotive systems while preventing oscillation near brownout conditions. This setting is factory-configured and cannot be changed externally. The UCC57108BQDRQ1 datasheet specifies that UVLO behavior remains stable across –40°C to +150°C, ensuring consistent operation in under-hood environments.
Does UCC57108BQDRQ1 support negative gate drive?
Yes, UCC57108BQDRQ1 supports negative gate drive via its dedicated VEE pin (Pin 8), rated for –15 V to 0 V relative to GND. This enables active Miller clamping and improved IGBT/SiC turn-off robustness in high-dV/dt applications. The device maintains full ±3 A drive strength and DESAT functionality even with negative bias applied, as confirmed in Section 5.4 of the UCC57108BQDRQ1 datasheet.
How does DESAT protection work on UCC57108BQDRQ1?
UCC57108BQDRQ1 implements DESAT protection with a 6.5 V threshold referenced to GND, 150 ns leading-edge blanking, and a 100–150 ns deglitch filter. The internal 250 µA charge current activates only during the ON-state, eliminating false triggers during switching transitions. Upon fault detection, UCC57108BQDRQ1 initiates soft turn-off with 35 Ω pulldown and asserts FLT within 135–250 ns - all without external comparators or timers.
Can UCC57108BQDRQ1 drive both SiC MOSFETs and IGBTs?
Yes, UCC57108BQDRQ1 is explicitly qualified for driving both SiC MOSFETs and IGBTs, with ±3 A peak source/sink current, rail-to-rail output swing, and 26 ns propagation delay optimized for high-speed switching. Its –5 V input tolerance, DESAT threshold, and soft turn-off behavior are validated for 650 V–1200 V devices in automotive traction and PTC applications per the UCC57108BQDRQ1 datasheet Sections 1 and 6.3.4.
What is the purpose of the VREF pin on UCC57108BQDRQ1?
The VREF pin (Pin 2) on UCC57108BQDRQ1 provides a precision 5 V output (±0.03 V at 20 mA) generated internally by an LDO, used to power isolated gate driver bias supplies, level-shifters, or current-sense amplifiers. Unlike external regulators, VREF remains active during UVLO and thermal shutdown, supporting fail-safe auxiliary circuit operation - a feature confirmed in UCC57108BQDRQ1's functional block diagram and Section 6.3.6.
