for my gate driver i want to parallel my UCC's so i can use it later for a DRSSTC

but must i take extra measurments if i want to connect the outputs of 2 parralleld UCC's, like clamping diodes ??

or can i just use the piggy back method and put 2 UCC's on each other ?

You can let them sit on top of eachother without further adjø, but beware of heating!



Steve Ward did this in one of his earlier drsstc drivers, Link2 "Here is the new control board I etched for this coil. Notice how I stacked the gate drivers. This is ok in a pulsed application like this, where driver heating is not considerable. You must not do this in a CW system!"

ok thanks because somewhere i've saw a schematic with paralleld UCC's and there where all kinds of extra components to stabilize.

and for the heating im planning to put a heatsink on top of the UCC's.

Thay have driver ics in the ucc family that have heat syncs in a to-220 package for better power disapation. Also if your switching a GDT alot of capacitance like 470uf to 1K next to the power pins help
