PMIC - Gate Drivers are specialized in controlling power delivery from one voltage level to another. It is used to control the switching of power MOSFETs and IGBTs, enabling the efficient operation of both low and high voltage systems, for these two specific types of transistors.

The UCC 37321D is the most recent addition to the PMIC- Gate Drivers family from Texas Instruments. It is designed to address the needs of high-performance power MOSFET and IGBT gate drivers in automotive and industrial applications. It integrates four high current source/sink drivers and one low power, low current source/sink, and can be configured to adjust the dead time and allow for variable frequency control.

The primary function of the UCC37321D gate driver is to protect the power MOSFETs and IGBTs from over-driving, by controlling the current that flows through each device. It achieves this through three main components: the source, sink, and protection circuitry.

The source circuitry works to provide a steady current to the gate of the power switch. This steady current is important to ensure that the switch is not over-driven, allowing for a safe and reliable switching. The sink circuitry works to quickly turn off the gate of the switch, so that the power switch can be safely disconnected from the power circuit. Finally, the protection circuitry makes sure that the power switch is not driven too hard, and will shut off the power switch if it is over-driven.

The UCC37321D also includes a slew-rate control feature to enable variable frequency control. This feature enables the circuit designers to adjust the dead time between source and sink signals to minimize errors in the power conversion process. This allows for more efficient power conversion, and further increases circuit protection.

Finally, the UCC37321D provides users with an integrated supply voltage monitoring function to facilitate system control and fault handling strategies. This feature monitors the input voltage and compares it to a predefined external Reference Voltage level and then outputs a signal to alert the system if the power supply is insufficient.

In summary, the UCC37321D from Texas Instruments is an advanced gate driver that is designed for use in automotive and industrial applications. It provides a simple solution to protect the power MOSFETs and IGBTs from over-driving, by controlling the current that flows through each device, as well as providing integrated features for variable frequency control, and voltage monitoring.
