UCC5304EVM-035 Gate Driver Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments UCC5304EVM-035 Gate Driver Evaluation Module (EVM) is designed to evaluate the UCC5304, an isolated single-channel gate driver with a 4A source and 6A sink peak current capability. This evaluation module is a reference design for driving power MOSFETs with up to 18V drive voltage, UCC5304 pin function identification, components selection guide, and PCB layout example. Texas Instruments UCC5304EVM-035 has independent connection points for VCCI and V_DD supplies, including separate ground points. A three-position header with jumpers for the input signal lets designers easily tie input high or low. Various testing points are provided for easy connection, including some designated for use with ground springs for shorter measurement loops of key signals. The PCB layout is optimized with a minimized loop area in both the gate driver and power supply loops with bypassing capacitors.
