Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this device family?

The UCC series supports operation from 3 V to 13.5 V.

Which topology should I use if I need a single magnetic component in my design?

A half-bridge topology minimizes board area by using only a single magnetic component (LRES).

What advantage does the push-pull topology offer over other methods?

The push-pull topology provides increased voltage across the piezoelectric transformer primary, though it requires two external inductors.

Are there safety features built into the controllers?

Yes, the controllers provide anti-cross conduction circuitry to ensure safe operation of the MOSFETs.
