UC2715DP Low-Side Gate Driver IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UC2715DP is a low-side gate driver IC manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for driving N-Channel and P-Channel MOSFETs in synchronous switching applications. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 7V to 20V and delivers peak output currents of 1A (source) and 2A (sink) with fast switching characteristics (30ns rise time, 25ns fall time).

The UC2715DP is classified as an obsolete product. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support legacy system maintenance and production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UC2715DP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Driven Configuration: Low-Side
• Number of Drivers: 2
• Gate Type: N-Channel, P-Channel MOSFET
• Voltage - Supply: 7V ~ 20V
• Logic Voltage - VIL, VIH: 0.8V, 2V
• Current - Peak Output (Source, Sink): 1A, 2A
• Input Type: Non-Inverting
• Rise / Fall Time (Typ): 30ns, 25ns
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 150°C (TJ)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The UC2715D qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and functional characteristics. The primary difference is packaging: UC2715DP uses 16-SOIC while UC2715D uses 8-SOIC. Both devices share the same base product number (UC2715) and maintain full electrical and thermal compatibility within the specified operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UC2715D is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the UC2715DP. Both devices maintain identical electrical specifications, functional characteristics, and compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected). The UC2715D carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support compared to the Obsolete status of the UC2715DP.

The primary design consideration is PCB layout accommodation for the package transition from 16-SOIC to 8-SOIC. Both packages maintain the same 0.154" (3.90mm) width and surface mount mounting type, minimizing mechanical redesign requirements. Pin-to-pin electrical compatibility is maintained across all functional parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UC2715D directly replace UC2715DP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The UC2715D provides electrical and functional equivalence to the UC2715DP. The primary design change is package footprint: UC2715DP uses 16-SOIC while UC2715D uses 8-SOIC. PCB layout modification is required to accommodate the different pin count and package dimensions.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in driven configuration (Low-Side), number of drivers (2), gate type (N-Channel, P-Channel MOSFET), supply voltage range (7V ~ 20V), logic voltage thresholds (0.8V, 2V), peak output currents (1A source, 2A sink), input type (Non-Inverting), switching characteristics (30ns rise, 25ns fall), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 150°C).

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between UC2715DP and UC2715D?

A: No. Both devices are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is identical at 2 (1 Year) for both parts.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting UC2715D over UC2715DP?

A: The UC2715D carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The UC2715DP is classified as Obsolete, making future procurement difficult.

Q: Are there thermal or electrical performance differences between the two packages?

A: No. Both devices operate across the identical temperature range (-40°C ~ 150°C TJ) and deliver identical electrical performance specifications. Package selection is driven by PCB layout and pin count requirements.
