DESCRIPTION
The UC1727 and its companion chip, the UC1726, provide all the
necessary features to drive an isolated IGBT transistor from a TTL in-
put signal. A unique modulation scheme is used to transmit both
power and signal across an isolation boundary with a minimum of ex-
ternal components.
Protection features include under voltage lockout and desaturation
detection. High level gate drive signals are typically 16V. Intermediate
high drive levels can be programmed for various periods of time to
limit surge current at turn on and in the event of desaturation due to a
short circuit.
The chip generates a bipolar supply so that the gate can be driven to
a negative voltage insuring the IGBT remains off in the presence of
high common mode slew rates.
Uses include isolated off-line full bridge and half bridge drives for mo-
tors, switches, and any other load requiring full electrical isolation.
