Operation With External Bootstrap Diode
The UCC27288EVM has an internal bootstrap diode included, the series resistor (R10) is not populated.
This allows the user to evaluate pin-compatible drivers that do not have the internal bootstrap diode which
is included with the UCC27288 high-side and low-side driver.
As a general guideline, when using the external bootstrap diode a resistance value of 2.2
Ω
to 10
Ω
is
recommended. Install R10 1206 size resistor for evaluation of pin-compatible drivers without the internal
bootstrap diode.
