This document introduces the features and characteristics of the UC1708 series power drivers, including operating voltage range, output current, rise and fall time, propagation delay, thermal shutdown and under-voltage protection, high-frequency operation, low cross-conduction current spike, enable and shutdown functions, wide input voltage range and ESD protection.
The document describes the UC1708 family of high-speed, high-voltage Schottky process power drivers designed to interface control functions with high-power switching devices like MOSFETs. These devices operate over a 5 to 35 volt supply range and contain two independent channels capable of sourcing or sinking up to 3A peak current.
| Supply Voltage Range | 5 to 35V |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 3A |
| Rise and Fall Times | 25ns |
| Propagation Delay | 25ns |
| ESD Protection | 2kV |
The UC1708 operates over a -55°C to +125°C temperature range.
The UC3708 operates over a 0°C to +70°C temperature range.
The device triggers thermal shutdown at 155°C.
