DESCRIPTION
The UC1726 device transmits the drive logic and drive power, along with transferring and receiving fault information with the isolated gate circuit using a low cost pulse transformer. This drive system utilizes a duty cycle modulation technique that gives instantaneous response to the drive control transitions, and reliably passes steady state, or DC conditions. High frequency operation, up to 750kHz, allows the cost and size of the coupling transformer to be minimized.
