(1) Creepage and clearance requirements should be applied according to the specific equipment isolation standards of an application.
Care should be taken to maintain the creepage and clearance distance of a board design to ensure that the mounting pads of
the isolator on the printed-circuit board do not reduce this distance. Creepage and clearance on a printed-circuit board become
equal in certain cases. Techniques such as inserting grooves and/or ribs on a printed-circuit board are used to help increase these
specifications.
(2) This coupler is suitable for safe electrical insulation only within the maximum operating ratings. Compliance with the safety ratings shall
be ensured by means of suitable protective circuits.
(3) Testing is carried out in air to determine the surge immunity of the package. Testing is carried out in oil to determine the intrinsic surge
immunity of the isolation barrier.
(4) Apparent charge is electrical discharge caused by a partial discharge (pd).

7.9 Insulation Characteristics

Insulation lifetime projection data is collected by using industry-standard Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown (TDDB) test
method. In this test, all pins on each side of the barrier are tied together creating a two-terminal device and high voltage
applied between the two sides; The insulation breakdown data is collected at various high voltages switching at 60 Hz over
temperature. For reinforced insulation, VDE standard requires the use of TDDB projection line with failure rate of less than
1 part per million (ppm). Even though the expected minimum insulation lifetime is 20 years at the specified working isolation
voltage, VDE reinforce certification requires additional safety margin of 20% for working voltage and 50% for lifetime which
translates into minimum required insulation lifetime of 30 years at a working voltage that's 20% higher than the specified
value. The TDDB projection line shows the intrinsic capability of the isolation barrier to withstand high voltage stress over its
lifetime. Based on the TDDB data, the intrinsic capability of the insulation is 1000 VRMS with a lifetime >>100 years.

7.10 Typical Characteristics

The maximum recommended average power safe operating area (SOA) at each Vin is determined by the
lower value of the 1.5W limit (dotted line) and the corresponding thermal derating curve (solid line) at that
input voltage. It is not recommended to operate at an ambient temperature higher than 125oC. The thermal
derating power is acquired with an evaluation board similar to the EVM shown in the Section 9.5.2 section.
Tshut represents the primary-side over-temperature shutdown rising threshold. As shown in the Electrical
Characteristics table, the typical Tshut value is 160oC, and minimal Tshut value is 150oC. The SOA derating
curve with both Tshut = 160oC and 150oC are provided below. The SOA curves under four common VDD-VEE
settings, 15V, 18V, 22V, and 25V are characterized. In each SOA curve, the input voltage is swept from 9V to
18V. To represent a worst-case condition with Tshut = 150oC, the test is done in a shieded box to block circulating
air in the thermal chamber.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
UCC14141-Q1 device is suitable for applications that have limited board space and require more integration.
These devices are also suitable for very-high voltage applications, where power transformers meeting the
required isolation specifications are bulky and expensive. The low-profile, low-center of gravity, and low weight
provides a higher vibration tolerance than systems using large bulky transformers. The device is easy-to-use
and provides flexibility to adjust both positive and negative output voltages as needed when optimizing the
gate voltage for maximum efficiency while protecting gate oxide from over-stress with its tight voltage regulation
accuracy.
The device integrates a high-efficiency, low-emissions isolated DC/DC converter for powering the gate drive of
SiC or IGBT power devices in traction inverter motor drives, industrial motor drives, or other high voltage DC/DC
converters. This DC/DC converter provides greater than 1.5 W of power for 10.8V<VVIN<13.2V for regulated
rails, and 1 W of power for 8V<VVIN<18V for direct connection to a 12-V battery.
The integrated DC/DC converter uses switched mode operation and proprietary circuit techniques to reduce
power losses and boost efficiency. Specialized control mechanisms, clocking schemes, and the use of an on-
chip transformer provide high efficiency and low radiated emissions.
The integrated transformer provides power delivery throughout a wide temperature range while maintaining
a 5000-VRMS isolation, and an 1000-VRMS continuous working voltage. The low isolation capacitance of the
transformer provides high CMTI allowing fast dv/dt switching and higher switching frequencies, while emitting
less noise.
The VVIN supply is provided to the primary-side power controller that switches the input stage connected to the
integrated transformer. Power is transferred to the secondary-side output stage, and regulated to a level set by
the resistor divider connected between the (VDD – VEE) pin and the FBVDD pin with respect to the VEE pin.
The output voltage is adjustable with an external resistor divider allowing a wide (VDD – VEE) range.
For optimal performance ensure to maintain the VVIN input voltage within the recommended operating voltage
range. Do not exceed the absolute maximum voltage rating to avoid over-stressing the input pins.
A fast hysteretic feedback burst control loop monitors (VDD – VEE) and ensures the output voltage is kept
within the hysteresis with low overshoots and undershoots during load and line transients. The burst control
loop enables efficient operation across full load and allows a wide VOUT adjustability throughout the whole
VVIN range. The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection monitors the input voltage pin, VVIN, with hysteresis
and input filter ensuring robust system performance under noisy conditions. The overvoltage lockout (OVLO)
protection monitors the input voltage pin, VIN, protects against over-voltage stress by disabling switching and
reducing the internal peak voltage. Controlled soft-start timing, provided throughout the full power-up time, limits
the peak input inrush current while charging the output capacitor and load.
The UCC14141-Q1 also provides a second output rail, (COM – VEE), that is used as a negative bias for the gate
drivers, allowing quicker turn-off switching for the IGBTs, and also to protect from unwanted turn-on during fast
switching of SiC devices. (COM – VEE) has a simple, yet fast and efficient bias controller to ensure the positive
and negative rails are regulated during the PWM switching. The COM pin can be connected from the source of
SiC device or emitter of an IGBT device. An external current limiting resistor allows the designer to program the
sink and source current peak according to the needs of the gate drive system.
A fault protection and powergood status pin provides a mechanism for the host controller to monitor the status of
the DC/DC converter and provide proper sequencing of power and PWM control signals to the gate driver. Fault
protection includes undervoltage, overvoltage, over-temperature shutdown, and isolated channel communication
interface watchdog timer.
A typical soft-start ramp-up time is approximately 3 ms, but varies based on input voltage, output voltage, output
capacitance, and load. If either output is shorted or over-loaded, the device is not able to power-up within the
28.4-ms soft-start watch-dog-timer protection time, so the device latches off for protection. The latch can be
reset by toggling the ENA pin or powering VIN down and up.

UCC14141-Q1
The output load must be kept low until start-up is complete and PG pin is low. When powering up, do not apply a
heavy load to (VDD – VEE) or (COM – VEE) outputs until the PG pin has indicated power is good (pulling logic
low) to avoid problems providing the power to ramp-up the voltage.
TI recommends to use the PG status indicator as a trigger point to start the PWM signal into the gate driver. PG
output removes any ambiguity as to when the outputs are ready by providing a robust closed loop indication of
when both (VDD –VEE) and (COM – VEE) outputs have reached their regulation threshold within ±10%.
Do not allow the host to begin PWM to gate driver until after PG goes low. This action typically occurs less than
28.4 ms after VVIN > VVIN_UVLOP and ENA goes high. The PG status output indicates the power is good after
soft-start of (VDD – VEE) and (COM – VEE) and are within ±10% of regulation.
If the host is not monitoring PG, then ensure that the host does not begin PWM to gate driver until 35 ms after
VVIN > VVIN_UVLOP and ENA goes high in order to allow enough time for power to be good after soft-start of VDD
and VEE.

8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 Power Stage Operation
The UCC14141-Q1 module uses an active full-bridge inverter on the primary-side and a passive full-bridge
rectifier on the secondary-side. The small integrated transformer has a relatively high carrier frequency to reduce
the size for integrating into the 36-pin SSOP package. The power stage carrier frequency operates within 10
MHz to 22 MHz. The power stage carrier frequency is determined by input voltage with a feed-forward control:
when VVIN is 8 V, the frequency is 22 MHz; when VVIN is 18 V, the frequency is 10 MHz; when VVIN is between
8 V and 18 V, the frequency reduces gradually from 22 MHz to 10 MHz as VVIN voltage rises. Spread spectrum
modulation, SSM, is used to reduce emissions. ZVS operation is maintained to reduce switching power losses.
The UCC14141-Q1 module creates two regulated outputs. It can be configured as a single output converter,
VDD to VEE only, or a dual-output converter, VDD to VEE and COM to VEE. Even though the module uses VEE
as the reference point to create two positive output voltages, the outputs can use COM as the reference point
and become a positive and a negative output.
These two outputs are controlled independently through hysteresis control. Furthermore, the VDD-VEE is the
main output, and COM to VEE uses the main output as its input to created a second regulated output voltage.
8.3.1.1 VDD-VEE Voltage Regulation
The VDD-VEE output is the main output of the module. The power stage operation is determined by the
sensed VDD-VEE voltage on FBVDD pin. As shown in Figure 8-1, the VDD-VEE voltage is sensed through a
voltage divider RFBVDD_TOP and RFBVDD_BOT. When FBVDD voltage stays below the turn-off threshold, roughly
10 mV above the VFBVDD_REF, the power stage operates, delivers power to the secondary side and makes the
VDD-VEE output voltage rise. After the output reaches the turn-off threshold, the power stage turns off. Output
voltage drops because of the load current. After the output voltage drops below the turn-on threshold, roughly
10 mV below the VFBVDD_REF, the power stage is turned on again. With the accurate voltage reference and
hysteresis control, the VDD-VEE output voltage can be regulated with high accuracy. To improve the noise
immunity, a small capacitor of 330 pF should be added between FBVDD and VEE pins. Excessive capacitor
slows down the hysteresis loop and can cause excessive output voltage ripple or even stability issue.

8.3.1.2 COM-VEE Voltage Regulation

COM-VEE output takes VDD-VEE output as its input and creates a regulated output voltage. It can be
considered as an LDO output from VDD-VEE, though the operation principle is not quite the same. Given
its input voltage is VDD-VEE, the maximum output voltage from COM to VEE is the voltage between VDD and
VEE.
The COM-VEE output regulator stage uses the internal high-side or low-side FETs in series with the external
current-limit resistor (RLIM) to charge or discharge the COM-VEE output voltage. The hysteresis control is
used to control the switching instance of the two FETs, to achieve an accurately regulated COM-VEE voltage.
As shown in Figure 8-2, the COM-VEE output voltage is sensed through the voltage divider RFBVEE_TOP and
RFBVEE_BOT on FBVEE pin. TI recommends a 330-pF capacitor on FBVEE pin to filter out the switching
frequency noise. When the voltage on FBVEE is below the charging threshold, 20 mV below the VFBVEE_REF,
the charging resistor is kept on and discharging resistor is kept off. COM-VEE output voltage rises. After FBVEE
voltage reaches the stop charging threshold, 20 mV above the VFBVEE_REF, the charging resistor is turned off.
Output voltage rise stops. When the charging resistor is turned off, the discharge resistor is controlled by another
hysteresis controller, based on FBVEE pin voltage, with the same reference voltage VFBVEE_REF, and 20-mV of
hysteresis.
The COM-VEE output regulator stage will protect from having the high-side FET stay ON for a long time
during a COM to VEE short. This protection feature is implemented by monitoring the RLIM-pin voltage
and controlling the high-side FET duty-ratio. When the COM pin voltage is lower than 0.645 V while the
FBVEE voltage is below 2.48 V, the hysteretic control of the COM-VEE regulator is overridden by an
approximately 20 % duty-ratio control on high-side FET, with a typical on-time of tRLIM_SHORT_CHRG_ ON_TIME
and off-time of tRLIM_SHORT_CHRG_ OFF_TIME in each duty cycle. When the COM pin voltage is higher than
VRLIM_SHORT_CHRG_CMP_RISE, the duty ratio control is disabled and the hysteretic control resumes to normal
operation.

8.3.1.3 Power Handling Capability

The maximum power handling capability is determined by both circuit operation and thermal condition. For a
given output voltage, the maximum power increases with input voltage before triggering the thermal protection.
An over-power-protection (OPP) is implemented to limit maximum output power and reduces power stage RMS
current at high input voltage. The OPP is implemented by a feed-forward control from the input voltage to the
OPP burst duty cycle (DOPP). The DOPP adds a "baby" burst within the on-time of "Mama" burst from the main
feedback loop for the (VDD-VEE) regulation. When the input voltage increases, the DOPP reduces automatically
to limit the averaged output power.
At high ambient temperature, the thermal performance determines the maximum power and safe operating area
(SOA). A protective thermal shut-down is triggered after overtemperature is detected. The high-efficiency and
optimized thermal design for transformer and silicon provide a high power handling capability at high ambient
temperature in a small package.

8.3.2 Output Voltage Soft Start

UCC14141-Q1 power-up diagram of two output rails with soft start is shown in Figure 8-5. After VVIN >
VVIN_UVLOP and ENA is pulled high, the soft-start sequence starts with burst duty cycle control with soft duty
cycle increment. The burst duty cycle gradually increases from 12.5% to 50% over time by the primary-side
control signal (DSS_PRI), so both VVDD-VEE and VCOM-VEE increase ratiometrically with a controlled shallow rising
slope. When VVDD-VEE is increased above VVDD_UVLOS, there is a sufficient bias voltage for the feedback-loop
communication channel, so the burst feedback control on the secondary side takes over. As a result, the DSS_PRI
is pulled high and does not affect burst duty cycle anymore. The burst duty cycle is determined by comparing
VFBVDD and VREF. VREF increases from 0.9V to 2.5 V with seven increment steps, where the first 0.4-V step
boosts VREF from 0.9V to 1.3V, and then the following six 0.2-V steps boosts VREF from 1.3V to 2.5V. Each step
lasts 128 µs. After VVDD-VEE > VVDD_UVP, the RLIM source-sink regulator for VCOM-VEE is enabled. The polarity of
source or sink current of RLIM pin is determined by comparing VFBVEE and V REF so as to keep VCOM-VEE in tight
regulation. Once VVDD-VEE or VCOM-VEE rises across its UVP threshold, there is a 3-ms (typical) deglitch time for
VVDD-VEE UVP and VCOM-VEE UVP and OVP, and then the power good signal is issued by pulling PG voltage low.
The 3-ms (typical) deglitch time is only applied during start up before the power good signal is issued. It provides
enough time for both VVDD-VEE and VCOM-VEE to settle in their hysteresis band of regulation after start up, so that
the converter does not shut down due to the overshoot or undershoot during start up.
The soft-start feature greatly reduces the input inrush current during power-up. In addition, if VVDD-VEE cannot
reach to VVDD_UVLOS within 28.4 ms, then the device shuts down in a safe-state. The 28.4-ms soft-start time-out
protects the module under output short circuit condition before power up.

8.3.3 ENA and PG

The ENA input pin and PG output pin on the primary-side use 5-V TTL and 3.3-V LVTTL level logic thresholds.
The active-high enable input (ENA) pin is used to turn-on the isolated DC/DC converter of the module. Either
3.3-V or 5-V logic rails can be used. Maintain the ENA pin voltage below 5.5 V. After ENA pin voltage becomes
above the enable threshold VEN_IR, UCC14141-Q1 enables, starts switching, goes through the soft-start process
and delivers power to the secondary side. After ENA pin voltage falls below the disable threshold VEN_IF,
UCC14141-Q1 disables, stops switching.
The ENA pin can also be used to reset the UCC14141-Q1 device after it enters the protection safe-state mode.
After a detected fault, the protection logic will latch off and place the device into a safe state. When all the faults
are cleared, the ENA-pin can be used to clear the UCC14141-Q1 latch by toggling the ENA pin voltage below
VEN_IF for longer than 150 μs, then toggling back up to 3.3 V or 5 V. The device will then exit the latch-off mode
and we initiate a soft-start. Figure 8-6 illustrates the latch-off reset timing.

8.3.4 Protection Functions

UCC14141-Q1 is equipped with a full feature of protection functions, include input undervoltage lockout,
overvoltage lockout protections, output undervoltage protection, overvoltage protection, overpower protection,
and over-temperature protection. The input undervoltage and overvoltage lockout protections have the auto
recovery response. All other protections have the latch-off response. After the latch-off-response protections are
triggered, the converter enters a latch off state, stops switching until the latch is reset by either toggling the ENA
pin Off then On, or by lowering the VVIN voltage below the VVIN_ANALOG_UVLOP_FALLING threshold, and then above
the VVIN_UVLOP_RISING threshold.
8.3.4.1 Input Undervoltage Lockout
UCC14141-Q1 can take wide input voltage range, from 8 V to 18 V. When the input voltage becomes too low,
the output either cannot be regulated due to the transformer turns ratio limitation, or the converter operates with
too much current stress. Either way, the converter must shut down to protect the system.
The UCC14141-Q1 enters input undervoltage lockout when VVIN voltage becomes lower than the UVLO
threshold VVIN_UVLOP_FALLING. In UVLO mode, the converter stops switching. After VIN pin voltage becomes
lower than the VIN analog undervoltage lockout falling threshold VVIN_VULOP_FALLING , UCC14141-Q1 resets all
the protections. After that, after the VVIN voltage becomes above the UVLO threshold VVIN_UVLOP_RISING, the
converter is enabled. Depending on the ENA pin voltage, the converter can start switching, go through the
soft-start process, or in the disable mode, waiting for ENA pin voltage becomes high.
8.3.4.2 Input Overvoltage Lockout
The input overvoltage lockout protection is used to protect the UCC14141-Q1 devices from overvoltage damage.
It has an auto-recovery response. When the VVIN pin voltage becomes higher than the input overvoltage lockout
threshold VVIN_OVLO_RISE, switching stops, converter stops sending energy to the secondary side. After input
overvoltage lockout protection, after VVIN pin voltage drop below the recovery threshold VVIN_OVLO_FALLING,
depending on the ENA pin voltage status, the converter can either resuming operation, go through the full
soft-start process, or in the disabled mode, wait for ENA pin becomes high. The input overvoltage lockout does
not reset other latch-off protections.

UCC14141-Q1
8.3.4.3 Output Undervoltage Protection

The output voltage under voltage protection is based on the FBVDD and FBVEE pin voltages. When the FBVDD
pin voltage becomes lower than its UVP threshold VVDD_UVP_FALL, or the FBVEE pin voltage becomes lower than
its UVP threshold VVEE_UVP_FALL, the undervoltage protection is activated. The UCC14141-Q1 stops switching,
and the PG pin becomes open.
During soft start, the output voltages rise from zero. Both FBVDD and FBVEE pin voltage are below the
UVP thresholds. The UVP is disabled during the soft start. If the pin voltage cannot reach the UVP recovery
thresholds (VVDD_UVP_RISE, VVEE_UVP_RISE) after the soft start completes, undervoltage protection is activated.
The UCC14141-Q1 stops switching, and the PG pin becomes open.
The undervoltage protection has a latched-off response. After it is activated, the latch-off state can be cleared by
recycling VVIN. Toggling ENA pin can also reset the latch-off state. Refer to ENA and PG section for details.

UCC14141-Q1
8.3.4.4 Output Overvoltage Protection

The UCC14141-Q1 devices sense the output voltage through FBVDD and FBVEE pins to control the output
voltage. To prevent the output voltage becomes too high, damages the load or UCC14141-Q1 device itself, the
UCC14141-Q1 devices are equipped with the output overvoltage protection. There are two levels of overvoltage
protection, based on the feedback pin voltage, and the output voltage.
During the normal operation, because of load transient, or load unbalancing between two outputs, the output
voltages can exceed its regulation level. Based on the pin voltages on FBVDD and FBVEE, after the voltage
exceeds the threshold, VVDD_OVP_RISE, or VVEE_OVP_RISE (10% above the target regulation voltage), the converter
stops switching immediately.
In rare cases, the voltage divider becomes malfunction and gives the wrong output voltage information. In
turn, the control loop can regulate the output voltages at a wrong voltage level. The UCC14141-Q1 device
is also equipped with a fail-safe overvoltage protection. After the VDD-VEE voltage becomes higher than
the overvoltage protection threshold VVDD_OVLOS_RISE, the converter shuts down immediately. This fail-safe
protection level is set at 31 V. It is meant to protect UCC14141-Q1 devices, instead of the load. The design must
ensure the voltage feedback divider normal operation at all conditions.
The output overvoltage protections have the latch-off response.

UCC14141-Q1
8.3.4.5 Overpower Protection

The Over Power Protection, OPP, limits the maximum average output power. When the output is overloaded,
it is important to shutdown the module to prevent it from further damage, or propagating the fault into other
portion of the entire system. Given the extremely high switching frequency, it is not practical to implement the
traditional cycle-by-cycle current limit. Instead, the UCC14141-Q1 device relies on the Over Power Protection
(OPP) working together with the output undervoltage protection.
As discussed in Power Handling Capability, with the input voltage feedforward, and the "baby" burst duty cycle
adjustment, the maximum power delivery capability of the UCC14141-Q1 is well controlled. The impact of OPP
on the relationship between Vin and maximum output power is shown in Figure 8-8.

Figure 8-8. Maximum Output Power Under Different Input Voltage Condition
When the load exceeds the maximum power delivery capability, the output voltage starts to droop. When the
output voltage falls below the Under Voltage Protection threshold, the output undervoltage protection is triggered
and the parts latches off into a safe state.
8.3.4.6 Overtemperature Protection
UCC14141-Q1 integrates the primary-side, secondary-side power stages, as well as the isolation transformer.
The power loss caused by the power conversion causes the module temperature higher than the ambient
temperature. To ensure the safe operation of the power module, the UCC14141-Q1 device is equipped
with over-temperature protection. Both the primary-side power stage, and the secondary-side power stage
temperatures are sensed and compared with the over-temperature protection threshold. If the primary-side
power stage temperature becomes higher than TSHUTPPRIMARY_RISE, or the secondary-side power stage
temperature becomes higher than TSHUTSSECONDARY_RISE , the module enters over-temperature protection
mode. The module stops switching; PG pin becomes open. After protection, the module enters latch-off mode.
When the power stage temperature drops below the over-temperature recovery threshold, recycling VVIN, or
toggling ENA pin voltage brings the model out of latch-off mode. Depending on ENA pin voltage, the module
either starts switching, delivering power to the secondary side, or in the standby mode waiting for ENA pin
voltage becomes high.

UCC14141-Q1
8.4 Device Functional Modes

Depending on the input and output conditions, ENA pin voltage, as well as the device temperature, the
UCC14141-Q1 operates in one of the below operation modes.
1. Disable mode. In this mode, the module is off, but waiting for ENA pin becoming high to start operate.
2. Soft-start mode. In this mode, the module starts to deliver power to the secondary side. The primary-side
operation duty cycle and secondary-side references are raised gradually to reduce the stress to the module.
3. Normal operation mode. In this mode, the module operates normally, delivers power to the secondary side.
4. Protection mode, auto-recovery. In this mode, the module is off, due to the input UVLO or OVLO protection.
After the input voltage fault is cleared, depending on the ENA pin voltage condition, it either becomes
disabled mode if the ENA pin voltage is low, or it goes through soft-start mode to the normal operation mode.
5. Protection mode, latched-off. In this mode, the module is off, due to other protections. The module remains
off even the fault causing the protection is cleared. Recycling VVIN operation must ensure the input voltage
goes below the analog UVLO falling threshold (VVIN_ ANALOG_UVLOP_FALLING ) first to reset the latch-off state,
or the ENA pin is toggled Low (OFF) then High (ON).
Table 8-1 lists the supply functional modes for this device. The ENA pin has an internal weak pull-down
resistance to ground, but TI does not recommend leaving this pin open.

9.2.1 Design Requirements

Designing with the UCC14141-Q1 module is simple. First, choose single output or dual output. Determine the
voltage for each output and then set the regulation through resistor dividers. Second, select the recommended
input and output capacitors according to the procedure in the section of capacitor selection. The gate charge
of the power device determines the amount of output decoupling capacitance needed at the gate driver input.
Third, calculate the RLIM resistor value for regulating the (COM – VEE) voltage rail for a dual output according to
the procedure in the section of RLIM or RDR selection.
For the dual output configuration, the VDD-to-VEE output capacitor placement and the RLIM-to-COM resistance
introduce great impact to the power module performance and system BOM cost. Table 9-1 compares four
combinations of two different VDD-to-VEE output decoupling capacitor placements and two RLIM current-limit
networks. The number 1 ranking represents the best, and the number 4 means the worst. The table indicates
that case B offers the best performance and case A offers the lowest BOM cost. As shown in Figure 9-1, COUT1
is the decoupling capacitor closest to VDD and VEE pins, while COUT1B is the decoupling capacitor closest to the
output load. Besides, the current-limit resistor network between RLIM pin and COM terminal is called the RDR
circuitry, which can program the charge and discharge current of RLIM regulator independently.
For the gate driver application with high di/dt current change as example, the finite impedance between the
output terminal of power modules and the input bias terminal of output load greatly affects the transient
response at the point of load, so the local decoupling capacitor COUT1B provides a very effective low-impedance

UCC14141-Q1
decoupling for both VVDD-to-COM and VCOM-to-VEE in the driver switching condition. From the schematic aspect,
it seems that adding COUT1B means one more extra capacitor, but the reality is that it helps to avoid the need
of oversizing COUT2 and COUT3. With COUT1B, the reduced capacitance and capacitor body size for COUT2 and
COUT3 end up a reduced total BOM cost on output capacitor bank. The following Section 9.2.2.1 will describe
the design procedure of COUT1B for more detail. Another benefit is that when capacitance of COUT2 and C OUT3 is
reduced, a higher RLIM resistance can be used for COM-to-VEE regulation, so the power loss of RLIM regulator
is reduced for higher power module efficiency.
Table 9-1. Comparison of four design cases and their system-level implications
COUT1B RDR Output Ripple Efficiency External BOM count/
cost
Case A Yes No 3 3 1 (Lowest)
Case B Yes Yes 1 (Lowest) 1 (Highest) 2
Case C No No 4 4 3
Case D No Yes 2 2 4
As shown in Figure 9-1, the RDR circuitry is a current-limit resistor network of the RLIM pin to allow RLIM
regulator to optimize the charge and discharge current capabilities independently for further increasing the power
module efficiency from the reduced power loss of RLIM regulator. The circuity consists of three components, one
high-resistance resistor RLIM1 in parallel with another resistor-diode branch, a small-resistance resistor RLIM2 in
series with a small-signal diode DLIM. RLIM1 resistance is much higher than RLIM2 resistance. Since VVDD-to-VEE
is usually much higher than VCOM-to-VEE especially in gate drive application, RLIM1 provides a high-resistance
path for the internal charge switch to greatly reduce the switch current, so as to reduce the switching loss and
conduction loss of the internal charge switch as well as the power loss of RLIM1 for higher efficiency. In addition,
with a smaller charge current, the disturbance to VVDD-to-VEE ripple dipping effect at the charge switch turn-on
instance will be minimized, so the total peak-to-peak ripple is reduced.
When the discharge switch turns on, the DLIM provides a unidirectional path to divert most of the RLIM-pin
current back to RLIM2. This approach allows the RLIM regulator equipped with strong enough sinking capability
to avoid the unbalanced current at COM-pin terminal from charging up VCOM-to-VEE away from regulation band.
Since VCOM-to-VEE is lower than VVDD-to-VEE such as -5V respect to 25V as example, the power loss of the
internal discharge switch and RLIM2 with larger switching current is less concern. On the contrary, if only one
resistor is used to the RLIM pin, the resistor needs to design for worst case with lowest resistance to ensure
VCOM-to-VEE regulation, so the efficiency will be compromised. For example, the RDR circuitry with RLIM1 of 1kΩ
and RLIM2 of 51Ω can increase the converter efficiency 7% higher with 10mA load from VDD to COM and reduce
the case temperature 10°C, compared with using one RLIM of 51Ω only.
Based on above, Case B is highly recommended as first choice in application. User can still use other thee
design cases for other considerations. The design calculator provides a generic calculation tool to help user
optimize each. The equations are based on the below detail descriptions.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Place ceramic decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the device pins. For the input supply, place the
capacitors between pins 6 to 7 (VIN) and pins 8 to 9 (GNDP). For the isolated output supply, (VDD – VEE), place
the capacitors between pins 28 to 29 (VDD) and pins 30 to 31 (VEE). For the isolated output supply, (COM –
VEE), place an RLIM resistor between the RLIM pin and the gate driver COM supply input. Also place decoupling
capacitors at the gate driver supply pins (VDD and COM) and at gate driver supply pins (COM and VEE) with
values according to the following component calculation sections. These locations are of particular importance
to all the decoupling capacitors because the capacitors supply the transient current associated with the fast
switching waveforms of the power drive circuits. Ensure the capacitor dielectric material is compatible with the
target application temperature.

UCC14141-Q1
9.2.2.1 Capacitor Selection

The UCC14141-Q1 device creates an isolated output VDD-VEE as its main output. The device also creates
a second output COM-VEE, using VDD-VEE as its power source. Because both outputs are isolated from
the input, and sharing VEE as the common reference point, the UCC14141-Q1 outputs can be configured as
dual-output two-positive, dual-output two-negative, or dual-output one-positive and one-negative. UCC14141-Q1
output can also be used as a single positive output or single negative output.
When the module is configured as dual-output, one-positive output, one-negative output; it is very important to
properly select the output capacitor ratios COUT2 and COUT3 to optimize the regulation and avoid causing an
over-voltage or under-voltage fault.
Table 9-2. Calculated Capacitor Values
CAPACITOR VALUE (µF) NOTES
Place a 20-μF and a 0.1-μF high-frequency decoupling capacitor in parallel close to VIN
CIN 20 + 0.1 pins. A capacitance greater than 20 uF can be used to reduce the voltage ripple when the
series impedance from the voltage source to the VIN pins is large.
Add a 10-μF and a 0.1-μF capacitor for high-frequency decoupling of (VDD – VEE). Place
COUT1 10 + 0.1 close to the VDD and VEE pins. A capacitance greater than 10 uF can be used to reduce
the output voltage ripple.
COUT1B See below Bulk charge, decoupling output capacitors are required to be located next to the gate driver
pins. The COUT2 and COUT3 capacitance ratio is important to optimize the dual output voltage
COUT2 See below divider accuracy during charge or discharge switching cycles; while the COUT1B capacitor is
used to minimize the total capacitance including COUT1B, COUT2 , and COUT3 capacitance
COUT3 See below values.
Output capacitor decoupling is important for optimal gate driver operation. Best high frequency decoupling can
be achieved by reducing the parasitic impedance in the charge/discharge path. Using ceramic capacitors with
low ESR and low ESL are important, as well as minimizing the trace impedance.
As described in Figure 9-3, a decoupling capacitor COUT1 is required at the VVDD-VEE output pins of the
UCC14141-Q1 for high frequency decoupling. COUT2 and COUT3 however, are needed at the gate driver pins
for VVDD-COM and VVEE-COM decoupling. The impedance between COUT1 and the COUT2/COUT3 combo prevents
the COUT1 from assisting the high frequency decoupling of the gate driver, requiring the COUT2 and COUT3 to
take on the full load. The impedance may be contributed from the PCB traces, socket connections, EMI filters,
or ferrite beads etc. This causes the COUT2 and in particular the COUT3 to get relatively large achieve a small
voltage droop.
Place COUT2 and COUT3 next to gate driver pins for
best decoupling performance.

Figure 9-3. Dual Output Schematic with Cout1, Cout2, and Cout3
The required COUT2 and COUT3 capacitance can be reduced by introducing a COUT1B capacitor from VVDD-VEE at
the gate driver pins next to COUT2 and COUT3 as shown in Figure 9-4. The COUT1B assists with the decoupling
total capacitance for both COUT2 and COUT3; thereby reducing the total capacitance (COUT1B + COUT2 +COUT3)
needed to achieve the desired voltage droop. Figure 9-5 shows that as COUT1B is increased from “none”
to higher COUT1B values, there is a significant reduction in COUT2 and COUT3 and reduction of the total net
capacitance, until a point of diminishing returns is reached (a “knee” point) where any additional COUT1B will
have a relatively small reduction of COUT2 and COUT3, and starts more significantly increasing the total net

UCC14141-Q1
capacitance. The optimal COUT1B, COUT2, and COUT3 at the minimum total net capacitance benefit both output
capacitor size reduction and BOM cost reduction.

To calculate COUT1B, COUT2, and COUT3, we calculate the equivalent (VDD-COM) capacitance, which is equal to
the series capacitance of COUT1B and COUT3 in parallel with COUT2. This equivalent (VDD-VEE) capacitance will
be sized to limit the predetermined (VDD-COM) discharge voltage drop when the power switch (SiC or IGBT)

The COUT2 over COUT3 ratio is defined as a coefficient of K23,which is the multiplication of a voltage divider
ratio along with a ratio of differential current. The voltage divider ratio is from the series configuration of the
two capacitors. The current divider ratio is calculated based on the charge current through the two capacitors.
IMAX_POWER is the maximum instantaneous current from the power module during the burst on-time, which
can be obtained from dividing the maximum power on the datasheet SOA curve at TA of 25°C by VVDD-VEE.
IVDD-COM is the total quiescent current between VDD and COM. For gate driver as example, IVDD-VEE is the
current consumption without switching. ICOM-VEE is the total quiescent current between COM and VEE. Based on
KCL, the differential current charging up COUT2 during the burst on-time is (IMAX_POWER - IVDD-COM), and the one
charging up COUT3 is (IMAX_POWER - ICOM-VEE).

COUT3 = COUT2 × K23 (3)
where

Next, plugging the above COUT3 expression into the Equation 1 we get
Qg COUT1B × COUT2 × K23

∆ V VDD − COM _droop = COUT1B + COUT2 × K23 + COUT2 (5)
The total decoupling capacitance close to the point of load (COUT_Total) is the summation of COUT1B, COUT2 and
COUT3. The goal is to find a smallest COUT1B to reduce COUT_Total to the minimum for BOM cost and footprint
saving, while retaining the desired load transient performance. The optimal COUT1B can be calculated by solving
the partial derivative of COUT_Total equal to 0.
dCOUT_Total d
dCOUT1B = dCOUT1B COUT1B + COUT2 + COUT3 = 0 (6)
Including the above COUT3 and COUT2 expressions onto Equation 6, the optimal COUT1B is derived as

Overall, the design procedure of the three decoupling capacitors starts with COUT1B calculation, followed by

next section.

UCC14141-Q1
9.2.2.2 Single RLIM Resistor Selection

The UCC14141-Q1 device creates an isolated output VDD-VEE as its main output. It also creates a second
output COM-VEE, using VDD-VEE as its power source. Because both outputs are isolated from the input, and
sharing VEE as the common reference point, the UCC14141-Q1 outputs can be configured as dual-output
two-positive, dual-output two-negative, or dual-output one-positive and one-negative, as shown in Figure 9-6.

When the module is configured as dual-positive or dual-negative outputs, the RLIM resistor is a true current
limiting resistor. Set up the RLIM resistor value as the maximum load current needed for VOUT2, using Equation 9.
IVOUT2_max is the maximum load current for VOUT2 output.
V
RLIM = I OUT2 − RLIM_INT (9)
VOUT2_max
RLIM_INT is the internal switch resistance value of 30 Ω typical.

For isolated gate driver applications, one positive and one negative outputs are needed. In this case, VDD-VEE
is the total output voltage, and the middle point becomes the reference point. Because the total voltage between
VDD and VEE is always regulated through the FBVDD feedback, the RLIM pin only must regulate the middle
point voltage so that it can give the correct positive and negative voltages. The RLIM control is achieved through
FBVEE pin as described in COM-VEE Voltage Regulation.
Based on Capacitor Selection, when selecting the output capacitor ratio proportional to the voltage ratio, the
capacitors form a voltage divider. The middle point voltage must naturally give the correct positive and negative
voltages. At the same time, for the gate driver circuit, the gate charge pulled out from the positive rail capacitor
during turn-on is fed back to the negative rail capacitor during turn-off, the two output rail load must always be
balanced. However, due to the gate driver circuit quiescent current unbalancing, and the two-rail capacitance
tolerances, the middle point voltage can move away with time. The RLIM pin provides an opposite current to
keep the middle point voltage at the correct level.
As illustrated in Figure 9-7 (a), without considering the gate charge, the gate driver circuit quiescent current
loads the positive rail and negative rail differently. The net current shows up as a DC offset current to the middle
point.
As illustrated in Figure 9-7 (b), every time the gate driver circuit turns-on the main power switch, it pulls the
charge out of the positive and negative rail output capacitors. When the module power stage provides energy
to the secondary side, refreshing those capacitors, the same charge is fed into both capacitors. If the capacitor
values are perfect, the voltage rise in the capacitors will be proportional. The positive and negative voltages

UCC14141-Q1
would not change. However, due to the capacitor tolerances, the capacitor values are not perfectly matched. The
voltages will rise at different ratios with the smaller capacitor rising faster. Over time, the middle point voltage,
COM, would pull to a different value. A load across one of the capacitors will pull towards a voltage imbalance.
The RLIM function counteract the voltage imbalance and bring the COM voltage back into regulation.

Considering these two effects, the RLIM must provide enough current to compensate this offset current. The RLIM
must be low enough to provide enough current, but not too low otherwise the middle point voltage is corrected at
each turn on and turn off edge of the gate driver and excessive power loss is generated.
The RLIM resistor is chosen to provide enough current for the load using the following 3 equations, whichever
has lowest value.

Select RLIM value to be the lowest of either 1) the RLIM needed for capacitor imbalance and the load, calcualted
by RLIM_MAX_H and RLIM_MAX_L1, or 2) the RLIM needed to respond to a VCOM-VEE transient within 3 ms with the
given load current, calcuated by RLIM_MAX_L2.
RLIM value determines response time of (COM – VEE) regulation. Too low an RLIM value can cause oscillation
and can overload (VDD – VEE). Too high an RLIM value can give offset errors, due to slow response. If RLIM is
greater than above calculations, then there is not enough current available to replenish the charge to the output
capacitors, causing a charge imbalance where the voltage is not able to maintain regulation, and eventually
exceeds the OVP or UVP FAULT thresholds and shutting down the device for protection. Choose RLIM value to
be close but smaller than the smallest value of the three calculated results.

9.2.2.3 RDR Circuit Component Selection

RLIM1 value is chosen by Equation 10. RLIM2 value is chosen by
VCOM − VEE − 0.5

RLIM2 = (14)
VCOM − VEE ∙ 1 1
RLIM_MAX_L − RLIM_MAX_H
where RLIM_MAX_L is the smallest value between RLIM_MAX_L1 and RLIM_MAX_L2 in the Single RLIM Resistor
Selection Section, and 0.5V represents the diode forward voltage drop of DLIM.
When the calculated RLIM1 and RLIM2 values have large enough difference, the RDR improvement on efficiency
will be significant. If RLIM1 and RLIM2 values are close, then single RLIM resistor can be considered to reduce the
external components.
The power loss of RLIM1 can be derived as

where

ISINK = −C ×Q × fSW + ∆ ICOMSINK (16)
COUT2 × 1 − ∆ COUT2 + COUT3 × 1 − ∆ COUT3 OUT2 + COUT3 GTotal
The power loss of RLIM2 can be approximated as
VCOM − VEE − 0.5 × RLIM1 2

PRLIM2 = ISINK × × RLIM2 (17)
VCOM − VEE × RLIM2 + VCOM − VEE − 0.5 × RLIM1
The maximum voltage rating of diode DLIM needs to consider the highest VVDD-to-VEE. The maximum current
rating of DLIM can be chosen based on the derating from the worst-case continuous current, (VCOM-to-VEE –
VF_DLIM) / RLIM2, where VF_DLIM is the forward voltage of DLIM. The diode package size is determined based on
the power loss in forward conduction, PLoss_DLIM = VF_DLIM x ((VCOM-to-VEE – VF_DLIM) / RLIM2). A Schottky diode
is recommended to reduce the power loss.

9.3 System Examples

The UCC14141-Q1 module is designed to allow a microcontroller host to enable it with the ENA pin for proper
system sequencing. The PG output also allows the host to monitor the status of the module. The PG pin goes
low when there are no faults and the output voltage is within ±10% of the set target output voltage. The output
voltage is meant to power a gate driver for either IGBT or SiC FET power device. The host can start sending
PWM control to the gate driver after the PG pin goes low to ensure proper sequencing. The below figures are the
system diagrams for the dual-output configuration and for the single output configuration.

9.4 Power Supply Recommendations

The recommended input supply voltage (VVIN) for UCC14141-Q1 is between 8 V and 18 V. To help ensure
reliable operation, adequate decoupling capacitors must be located as close to supply pins as possible. Local
bypass capacitors must be placed between the VIN and GNDP pins at the input; between VDD and VEE at the
isolated output supply; and COM and VEE at the lower voltage output supply. TI recommends low ESR, ceramic
surface mount capacitors. Table 9-2 provides the recommended capacitance for high frequency decoupling. The
input supply must have an appropriate current rating to support output load required by the end application.
9.5 Layout
9.5.1 Layout Guidelines
The UCC14141-Q1 integrated isolated power solution simplifies system design and reduces board area usage.
Follow these guidelines for proper PCB layout to achieve optimum performance. A minimum of 4-layer PCB
layer stack using 2-ounce copper on external layers is recommended to accomplish a good thermal PCB design.
1. Input capacitors:
a. Place the 0.1-µF high frequency bypass capacitor (C14) as close as possible to pins 6, 7 (VIN) and pins
8–18 (GNDP) and on the same side of the PCB as the IC. 0402 ceramic SMD or smaller is a desired
size for optimal placement. Do not place any vias between the bypass capacitor and the IC pins so as to
force the high frequency current through the capacitor.
b. Place the bulk VIN capacitor(s) (C12, C13) as close as possible and parallel to the 0.1 µF high frequency
bypass capacitor (C14) and on the same side of the PCB as the IC.
2. Output capacitors:
a. Place the 0.1-µF high frequency bypass capacitor (C7) as close as possible to pins 28, 29 (VDD) and
pins 30, 31 (VEE) and on the same side of the PCB as the IC. 0402 ceramic SMD or smaller is a desired
size for optimal placement. Do not place any vias between the bypass capacitor and the IC pins so as to
force the high frequency current through the capacitor.
b. Place the bulk VDD-VEE capacitor (C8) as close as possible and parallel to the 0.1-µF high frequency
bypass capacitor (C7) and on the same side of the PCB as the IC.
Figure 9-10.
3. Gate driver output capacitors: COUT2 and COUT3 are reference designators referred to in the Excel calculator
tool. COUT2 is the capacitor(s) between VDD-COM and COUT3 is the capacitor(s) between COM-VEE. COUT2
and COUT3 are capacitors required by the gate driver IC. Proper selection and component placement of
COUT2 and COUT3 are critical for optimal performance of the UCC14141-Q1 and the gate driver IC.
a. COUT2 and COUT3 should be placed next to the gate driver IC for best decoupling and gate driver
switching performance

UCC14141-Q1
b. Adding a COUT1B between VDD-VEE but placed at the gate driver in parallel with COUT2 and COUT3 will
reduce the total capacitance needed and reduce the sensitivity to capacitor variation, and will allow to
use a higher RLIM resistance value.
4. RLIM: Place RLIM (R3) close to pin 32 and between the COM midpoint of the output capacitive divider. The
via pattern shown to the right of R3 connects to COM.
Figure 9-11.
5. Feedback:
a. VEEA (pin 35) should be isolated through all PCB layers, from the VEE plane as shown in the red
box below. Use one via to make a direct connection to the FBVDD and FBVEE low-side resistors and
capacitors (C15-16, R6-7), shown on the bottom side of the PCB.
b. Place feedback resistors (R4-7) and 330-pF ceramic capacitor in parallel with low-side resistors (R6-7)
close to the IC preferably on the opposite side of IC (as shown in EVM), or on same layer as IC near pin
36.
c. The top-side feedback resistor should be placed next to the low-side resistor with a short, direct
connection between both resistors and single connection to FBVDD. The top connection to sense the
regulated rail (VDD-VEE) should be routed and connected at the VDD bias capacitor remote location
near the gate driver pins for best accuracy and best transient response.
d. The top-side feedback resistor should be placed next to the low-side resistor with a short, direct
connection between both resistors and single connection to FBVEE; while the top connection to sense
the regulated rail (COM-VEE) should be routed and connected at the COM bias capacitor remote
location near the gate driver pins for best accuracy and best transient response.

UCC14141-Q1
Figure 9-12.
6. Thermal Vias: TheUCC14141-Q1 internal transformer makes a direct connection to the lead frame. It is
therefore critical to provide adequate space and proper heatsinking designed into the PCB as outlined in the
steps below.
a. TI recommends to connect the VIN, GNDP, VDD, and VEE pins to internal ground or power planes
through multiple vias. Alternatively, make the polygons connected to these pins as wide as possible.
b. Use multiple thermal vias connecting PCB top side GNDP copper to bottom side GNDP copper. If
possible, it is recommended to use 2-ounce copper on external top and bottom PCB layers.
c. Use multiple thermal vias connecting PCB top side VEE copper to bottom side VEE copper. If possible, it
is recommended to use 2-ounce copper on external top and bottom PCB layers.
d. Thermal vias connecting top and bottom copper can also connect to internal copper layers for further
improved heat extraction.
e. Thermal vias should be similar to pattern shown below but apply as many as the copper area will allow.
The UCC14141EVM-068 uses thermal via arrays of approximately 220 mil x 350 mil (48 thermal vias on
GNDP primary and 54 thermal vias on VEE secondary). Thermal via is 30 mil diameter, 12 mil hole size.
Figure 9-13.

UCC14141-Q1
Figure 9-14.
f. As seen in the Thermal Image, there is a point of diminishing return, regarding the number of vias and
size of the thermal via array. For 1.5-W of output power, heat transfer is shown to quickly diminish just
beyond C12 and C8. The distance from the inner pad line of U1 to C12 is 320 mils.
Figure 9-15. Thermal Image

7. Creepage clearance: Avoid routing copper under the UCC14141-Q1 , to maintain the full creepage,
clearance and basic voltage isolation ratings specified in the data sheet. Maintain the clearance width
highlighted in red, throughout the entire defined isolation barrier. Keep-out clearance for basic isolation can
be 50% less than the reinforced isolation requirement (8mm). Using 8mm provides additional margin.

UCC14141-Q1
Figure 9-16.
8. Gate driver capacitors and feedback routing:
a. VDD-COM and VEE-COM capacitors are populated on the UCC14141EVM-068 but these capacitors
need to be placed as close to the associated gate driver pins as possible.
b. For optimal voltage regulation, the feedback trace from COM (COM FB) and VDD (VDD FB) should
be as direct as possible so that the voltage feedback is being sensed directly at the VDD and COM
capacitors near the gate driver IC.
Figure 9-17.
