Part Number: UCC27211
I am adoperating 2 UCC27211 gate driver in a DCDC current controller, the LI and HI inputs are fed by the outputs of a LT3741 controller and LO HO outputs are driving 4 IRL60B216 as it can be seen in this attachment
![]()
the inputs of the gate drivers are correctly driven but their outputs are not, the same error can be seen in both drivers
LI and LO:
![]()
HI and HO:
![]()
Light blue waveforms are the inputs of the UCC and violet waveforms are taken directly at the MOSFET's gates
Speaking about the Low side, i wondered about some voltage drop due to high driver current on the little resistances in series with the gate and i actually noticed that probing directly at the output of the driver
the square wave reaches like 10V (NOT 12V as it should be!!!); hence i tried to modify the value of the resistances but with poor results, i actually also tried to place a 0ohm instead so as to avoid the voltage drop but all I obtained was that 6V square wave clearly both at the gate and at the output of the drivers
Speaking about the High side i wondered about a bad choice of the bootstrap C value, i increased it till 800nF but nothing changed
I also tried to increase the bypass capacitor value up to 4,7uF, to remove the SMDJ15CA and to place a resistor between MOSFET's gates and ground/HS, but still no result! So up to now i have no idea what to do
There is clearly some error in my design because i already used those drivers in a similar design with the same current controller but with different mosfets
