PRODUCTION DATA
The input thresholds have a 3.3-V logic sensitivity over the full range of VDD voltage; yet it is equally compatible with 0 V to VDD signals.
The inputs of UCC2732x and UCC3732x family of drivers are designed to withstand 500-mA reverse current without either damage to the IC for logic upset. The input stage of each driver must be driven by a signal with a short rise or fall time. This condition is satisfied in typical power-supply applications, where the input signals are provided by a PWM controller or logic gates with fast transition times (<200 ns). The input stages to the drivers function as a digital gate, and are not intended for applications where a slow-changing input voltage is used to generate a switching output when the logic threshold of the input section is reached. While this may not be harmful to the driver, the output of the driver may switch repeatedly at a high frequency.
Users should not attempt to shape the input signals to the driver in an attempt to slow down (or delay) the signal at the output. If limited rise or fall times to the power device is desired, an external resistance can be added between the output of the driver and the load device, which is generally a power MOSFET gate. The external resistor may also help remove power dissipation from the device package, as discussed in (see Section 10.3).
Importantly, input signal of the two channels, INA and INB, which has logic compatible threshold and hysteresis. If not used, INA and INB must be tied to either VDD or GND; it must not be left floating.
