UCC25800AQDGNRQ1 transformer driver 8-HVSSOP
The UCC25800AQDGNRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 qualified, ultra-low EMI transformer driver specifically designed for isolated bias supplies in automotive systems. It integrates a high-efficiency half-bridge power stage, control logic, and comprehensive protection circuits into a single chip, simplifying the design of isolated bias rails for traction inverters, motor drives, and other automotive power stages. The driver ic operates from a wide 9 V to 34 V input supply and can deliver up to 6 W from a 24 V input and up to 9 W from a 34 V input, making it well-suited for generating local bias rails directly from the vehicle’s high-voltage battery bus while minimizing external component count.
Functionally, the UCC25800AQDGNRQ1 uses an open-loop LLC-style control scheme and allows the use of transformers with higher leakage inductance but much lower primary-to-secondary capacitance, dramatically reducing common-mode current injection and EMI. Its switching frequency is programmable from 100 kHz to 1.2 MHz, enabling the use of smaller, lower-cost magnetic components while still providing ample design margin for noise-sensitive automotive environments. The driver features automatic dead-time adjustment with maximum dead-time programming, external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin, and a fixed 1.5 ms soft-start interval to reduce inrush current during startup and fault recovery.
