Working Principles

The UCC37322DR is designed to drive power MOSFETs and IGBTs efficiently. It utilizes a high peak output current capability to rapidly charge and discharge the gate capacitance of these devices, enabling fast switching times. The driver's low propagation delay ensures minimal time delay between the input control signal and the output drive signal.

The device operates by receiving input signals (IN1 and IN2) and generating corresponding output signals (OUT1 and OUT2) to drive the gates of the power devices. It is powered by VDD and VCC supplies, which provide the necessary voltage levels for proper operation.

In case of excessive temperature, the thermal shutdown protection feature activates, disabling the outputs to prevent damage to the driver and the connected power devices.
