DESCRIPTION
The UCC27223 is a high-speed synchronous
buck drivers for today’s high-efficiency,
lower-output voltage designs. Using Predictive
Gate Drivet (PGD) control technology, these
drivers reduce diode conduction and reverse
recovery losses in the synchronous rectifier
MOSFET(s).
The UCC27223 includes an enable pin that
controls the operation of both outputs. A logic
latch is also included to keep both outputs low until
the first PWM input pulse comes in. The RDS(on)
of the SR pull-down sourcing device is also
minimized for higher frequency operations.
This closed loop feedback system detects
body-diode conduction, and adjusts deadtime
delays to minimize the conduction time interval.
This virtually eliminates body-diode conduction
while adjusting for temperature, load- dependent
delays, and for different MOSFETs. Precise gate
timing at the nanosecond level reduces the
reverse recovery time of the synchronous rectifier

MOSFET body-diode, reducing reverse recovery
losses seen in the main (high-side) MOSFET. The
lower junction temperature in the low-side
MOSFET increases product reliability. Since the
power dissipation is minimized, a higher switching
frequency can also be used, allowing for smaller
component sizes.
The UCC27223 is offered in the thermally
enhanced 14-pin PowerPADt package with

predictive gate drive technique
The Predictive Gate Drivet technology utilizes a digital feedback system to detect body-diode conduction, and
then adjusts the deadtime delays to minimize it. This system virtually eliminates the body-diode conduction time
intervals for the synchronous MOSFET, while adjusting for different MOSFETs characteristics, propagation and
load dependent delays. Maximum power stage efficiency is the end result.
Two internal feedback loops in the predictive delay controller continuously adjusts the turn on delays for the two
MOSFET gate drives G1 and G2. As shown in Figure 2, t

APPLICATION INFORMATION
selection of VHI series resistor R1 (dV/dt Considerations):
The series resistor R1 may be needed to slowdown the turn-on of the main forward switch to limit the dV/dt which
can inadvertently turn on the synchronous rectifier switch. In nominal 12-V input designs, a R1 value of 4-Ω to
10-Ω can be used depending on the type of MOSFET used and the high-side/low-side MOSFET ratio. In 5-V
or lower input applications however, R1 is not needed.
When the drain-source voltage of a MOSFET quickly rises, inadvertent dV/dt induced turn-on of the device is
possible. This can especially be a problem for input voltages of 12 V or greater. As Q1 rapidly turns on, the
drain-to-source voltage of Q2 rises sharply, resulting in a dV/dt voltage spike appearing on the gate signal of
Q2. If the dV/dt induced voltage spike were to exceed the given threshold voltage, the MOSFET may briefly
turn on when it should otherwise be commanded off. Obviously this undesired event would have a negative
impact on overall efficiency.
Minimizing the dV/dt effect on Q2 can be accomplished by proper MOSFET selection and careful layout
techniques. The details of how to select a MOSFET to minimize dV/dt susceptibility are outlined in SEM−1400,
Topic 2, Appendix A, Section A5. Secondly, the switch node connecting Q1, Q2 and L1 should be laid out as
tight as possible, minimizing any parasitic inductance, which might worsen the dV/dt problem.
If the dV/dt induced voltage spike is still present on the gate Q2, a 4W to 10W value of R1 is recommended to
minimize the possibility of inadvertently turning on Q2. The addition of R1 slows the turn-on of Q1, limiting the
dV/dt rate appearing on the drain-to-source of Q2. Slowing down the turn-on of Q1 will result in slightly higher
switching loss for that device only , but the efficiency gained by preventing dV/dt turn-on of Q2 will far outweigh
the negligible effect of adding R1.
When Q2 is optimally selected for dV/dt robustness and careful attention is paid to the PCB layout of the switch
node, R1 may not be needed at all, and can therefore be replaced with a 0-Ω jumper to maintain high efficiency.
The goal of the designer should not be to completely eliminate the dV/dt turn-on spike but to assure that the
maximum amplitude is less than the MOSFET gate-to-source turn-on threshold voltage under all operating
conditions.
selection of bypass capacitor C1
Bypass capacitors should be selected based upon allowable ripple voltage, usually expressed as a percent of
the regulated power supply rail to be bypassed. In all of the UCC27223 application circuits shown herein, C1
provides the bypass for the main (high-side) gate driver. Every time Q1 is switched on, a packet of charge is
removed from C1 to charge Q1’s gate to approximately 6.0 V. The charge delivered to the gate of Q1 can be
found in the manufacturer’s datasheet curves. An example of a gate charge curve is shown in Figure 4.

As shown in Figure 4, 31 nC of gate charge is required in order for Q1’s gate to be charged to 6.0 V, relative
to its source. The minimum bypass capacitor value can be found using the following calculation:

where k is the percent ripple on C1, QG is the total gate charge required to drive the gate of Q1 from zero to
the final value of (VHI−VSW). In this example gate charge curve, the value of the quantity (VHI−VSW) is taken
to be 6.0 V. This value represents the nominal VLO regulator output voltage minus the forward voltage drop of
the external Schottky diode, D1. For the MOSFET with the gate charge described in Figure 4, the minimum
capacitance required to maintain a 3% peak-to-peak ripple voltage can be calculated to be 172 nF, so a 180-nF
or a 220-nF capacitor could be used. The maximum peak-to-peak C1 ripple must be kept below 0.4 V for proper
operation.
