The UCC27221 and UCC27222 are high-speed synchronous buck drivers for today’s high-efficiency, lower-output voltage designs. Using Predictive Gate Drive™ (PGD) control technology, these drivers reduce diode conduction and reverse recovery losses in the synchronous rectifier MOSFET(s). The UCC27221 has an inverted PWM input while the UCC27222 has a non-inverting PWM input.

Predictive Gate Drive™ technology uses control loops which are stabilized internally and are therefore transparent to the user. These loops use no external components, so no additional design is needed to take advantage of the higher efficiency of these drivers.

This closed loop feedback system detects body-diode conduction, and adjusts deadtime delays to minimize the conduction time interval.
