Applications and Operating Information
This section lists the details about key features and
operating guidelines for the NCD5703.
High Drive Current Capability
The NCD5703 driver family is equipped with many
features which facilitate a superior performance IGBT
driving circuit. Foremost amongst these features is the high
drive current capability. The drive current of an IGBT driver
is a function of the differential voltage on the output pin
(V
−VOH/VO for source current, VOL/VO−VEE for sink
CC
current) as shown in Figure 19. Figure 19 also indicates that
for a given VOH/VOL value, the drive current can be
increased by using higher V
CC/VEE
drive current tends to drop off as the output voltage goes up
(for turn−on event) or goes down (for turn−off event). As
explained in many IGBT application notes, the most critical
phase of IGBT switching event is the Miller plateau region
where the gate voltage remains constant at a voltage
(typically in 9−11 V range depending on IGBT design and
the collector current), but the gate drive current is used to
charge/discharge the Miller capacitance (C
providing a high drive current in this region, a gate driver can
significantly reduce the duration of the phase and help
reducing the switching losses. The NCD5703 addresses this
requirement by providing and specifying a high drive
current in the Miller plateau region. Most other gate driver
ICs merely specify peak current at the start of switching –
which may be a high number, but not very relevant to the
application requirement. It must be remembered that other
considerations such as EMI, diode reverse recovery
performance, etc., may lead to a system level decision to
trade off the faster switching speed against low EMI and
reverse recovery. However, the use of NCD5703 does not
preclude this trade−off as the user can always tune the drive
current by employing external series gate resistor. Important
thing to remember is that by providing a high internal drive
current capability, the NCD5703 facilitates a wide range of
gate resistors. Another value of the high current at the Miller
plateau is that the initial switching transition phase is shorter
and more controlled. Finally, the high gate driver current
(which is facilitated by low impedance internal FETs),
ensures that even at high switching frequencies, the power
dissipation from the drive circuit is primarily in the external
series resistor and more easily manageable. Experimental
results have shown that the high current drive results in
reduced turn−on energy (E
) for the IGBT switching.

). By
GC
Figure 19. Output Current vs. Output Voltage Drop
When driving larger IGBTs for higher current
applications, the drive current requirement is higher, hence
lower R
is used. Larger IGBTs typically have high input
G
capacitance. On the other hand, if the NCD5703 is used to
drive smaller IGBT (lower input capacitance), the drive
current requirement is lower and a higher R
is used. Thus,
G
for most typical applications, the driver load RC time
constant remains fairly constant. Caution must be exercised
when using the NCD5703 with a very low load RC time
constant. Such a load may trigger internal protection
circuitry within the driver and disable the device. Figure 20
shows the recommended minimum gate resistance as a
function of IGBT gate capacitance and gate drive trace
inductance.

NCD5703A, NCD5703B, NCD5703C
Gate Voltage Range
The negative drive voltage for gate (with respect to GND,
or Emitter of the IGBT) is a robust way to ensure that the gate
voltage does not rise above the threshold voltage due to the
Miller effect. In systems where the negative power supply is
available, the VEE option offered by NCD5703B allows not
only a robust operation, but also a higher drive current for
turn−off transition. Adequate bypassing between VEE pin
and GND pin is essential if this option is used.
The V
range for the NCD5703 is quite wide and allows
CC
the user the flexibility to optimize the performance or use
available power supplies for convenience.
Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO)
This feature ensures reliable switching of the IGBT
connected to the driver output. At the start of the driver’s
operation when V
remains turned−off. This is regardless of the signals on V

In an IGBT drive circuit, the drive voltage level is
important for drive circuit optimization. If V
UVLO−OUT−OFF
is too low, it will lead to IGBT being driven with insufficient
gate voltage. A quick review of IGBT characteristics can
reveal that driving IGBT with low voltage (in 10−12 V
range) can lead to a significant increase in conduction loss.
So, it is prudent to guarantee V
UVLO−OUT−OFF
at a
reasonable level (above 12 V), so that the IGBT is not forced
to operate at a non−optimum gate voltage. On the other hand,
having a very high drive voltage ends up increasing
switching losses without much corresponding reduction in
conduction loss. So, the V
UVLO−OUT−ON
value should not
be too high (generally, well below 15 V). These conditions
lead to a tight band for UVLO enable and disable voltages,
while guaranteeing a minimum hysteresis between the two
values to prevent hiccup mode operation. The NCD5703
meets these tight requirements and ensures smooth IGBT
operation. It ensures that a 15 V supply with ±8% tolerance
will work without degrading IGBT performance, and
guarantees that a fault will be reported and the IGBT will be
turned off when the supply voltage drops below 12.2 V.

.
The gate driver is ideally required to transmit the input
signal pulse to its output without any delay or distortion. In
the context of a high−power system where IGBTs are
typically used, relatively low switching frequency (in tens of
kHz) means that the delay through the driver itself may not
be as significant, but the matching of the delay between
different drivers in the same system as well as between
different edges has significant importance. With reference to
Figure 22(a), two input waveforms are shown. They are
typical complementary inputs for high−side (HS) and
low−side (LS) of a half−bridge switching configuration. The
dead−time between the two inputs ensures safe transition
between the two switches. However, once these inputs are
through the driver, there is potential for the actual gate
voltages for HS and LS to be quite different from the
intended input waveforms as shown in Figure 22(a). The end
result could be a loss of the intended dead−time and/or
pulse−width distortion. The pulse−width distortion can
create an imbalance that needs to be corrected, while the loss
of dead−time can eventually lead to cross−conduction of the
switches and additional power losses or damage to the

system.
.
The NCD5703 driver is designed to address these timing
challenges by providing a very low pulse−width distortion
and excellent delay matching. As an example, the delay
matching is guaranteed to t

alternative to a negative gate voltage. The main requirement
is to hold the gate of the turned−off (for example low−side)
IGBT below the threshold voltage during the turn−on of the
opposite−side (in this example high−side) IGBT in the half
bridge. The turn−on of the high−side IGBT causes high dv/dt
transition on the collector of the turned−off low−side IGBT.
This high dv/dt then induces current (Miller current) through
the C
capacitance (Miller capacitance) to the gate
GC
capacitance of the low−side IGBT as shown in Figure 23. If
the path from gate to GND has critical impedance (caused
by R
) the Miller current could rise the gate voltage above
G
the threshold level. As a consequence the low−side IGBT
could be turned on for a few tens or hundreds of
An alternative way is to provide an additional path from
gate to GND with very low impedance. This is exactly what
Active Miller Clamp protection does. Additional trace from
the gate of the IGBT to the Clamp pin of the gate driver is
introduced. After the V

output has gone below the Active

MC−THR
the Clamp pin is shorted
to GND and thus prevents the voltage on the gate of the
IGBT to rise above the threshold voltage as shown in
Figure 24. The Clamp pin is disconnected from GND as
soon as the signal to turn on the IGBT arrives to the gate
driver input. The fact that the Clamp pin is engaged only
after the gate voltage drops below the V
ensures that the function of this pin does not interfere with
the normal turn−off switching performance that is user

to avoid this situation is to use negative gate voltage, but this
requires second DC source for the negative gate voltage.

Protection
Desaturation Protection (DESAT)
This feature monitors the collector−emitter voltage of the
IGBT in the turned−on state. When the IGBT is fully turned
on, it operates in a saturation region. Its collector−emitter
voltage (called saturation voltage) is usually low, well below
3 V for most modern IGBTs. It could indicate an overcurrent
or similar stress event on the IGBT if the collector−emitter
voltage rises above the saturation voltage, after the IGBT is
fully turned on. Therefore the DESAT protection circuit
compares the collector−emitter voltage with a voltage level
V
DESAT−THR
to check if the IGBT didn’t leave the saturation
region. It will activate FLT output and shut down driver
output (thus turn−off the IGBT), if the saturation voltage
rises above the V
DESAT−THR
. This protection works on
every turn−on phase of the IGBT switching period.
At the beginning of turning−on of the IGBT, the
collector−emitter voltage is much higher than the saturation
voltage level which is present after the IGBT is fully turned
on. It takes almost 1 ms between the start of the IGBT turn−on
and the moment when the collector−emitter voltage falls to
the saturation level. Therefore the comparison is delayed by
a configurable time period (blanking time) to prevent false
triggering of DESAT protection before the IGBT
collector−emitter voltage falls below the saturation level.
Blanking time is set by the value of the capacitor C

The exact principle of operation of DESAT protection is
described with reference to Figure 25.
At the turned−off output state of the driver, the DESAT pin
is shorted to ground via the discharging transistor (Q

Therefore, the inverting input holds the comparator output
at low level.

Use of VREF Pin
The NCD5703 provides an additional 5.0 V output
(VREF) that can serve multiple functions. This output is
capable of sourcing up to 10 mA current for functions such
as opto−coupler interface or external comparator interface.
The VREF pin should be bypassed with at least a 100 nF
capacitor (higher the better) irrespective of whether it is
being utilized for external functionality or not. VREF is
