The UCC25800-Q1 ultra-low EMI transformer driver integrates the switching power stage, the control, and the protection circuits to simplify isolated bias supply designs. It allows the design to utilize a transformer with higher leakage inductance, but much smaller parasitic primary-to-secondary capacitance. This low-capacitance transformer design enables an order of magnitude reduction in the common-mode current injection through the bias transformer. This makes the transformer driver an ideal solution for the isolated bias supply in various automotive applications to minimize the EMI noise caused by the high-speed switching devices. The soft-switching feature further reduces the EMI noise.

The transformer driver has a programmable frequency range of 100 kHz to 1.2 MHz. This high switching frequency reduces the transformer size and footprint, as well as the overall cost of the bias supply. The integrated SYNC function allows the system bias supplies to synchronize with an external clock signal, further reducing the system level noise.

The dead-time adjusts automatically to minimize the conduction loss and simplify the design. The programmable maximum dead-time ensures power stage design flexibility.Read more
