3 Description

The UCC5880-Q1 device is an isolated, highly

configurable adjustable drive strength gate driver

targeted to drive high power SiC MOSFETs and

IGBTs in EV/HEV applications. Power transistor

protections are included, such as shunt resistor based

over-current, over-temperature (PTC, NTC, or diode),

and DESAT detection, with selectable soft turn-off

or two-level soft turn-off during these faults. An

integrated 10-bit ADC enables monitoring of up to

2 analog inputs, VCC2, DESAT, and the gate driver

temperature for enhanced system management.

Diagnostics and detection functions are integrated to

simplify the design of ASIL compliant systems. The

parameters and thresholds for these features are

configurable using the SPI, which allows the device

to be used with nearly any SiC MOSFET or IGBT.
