Why I seldom see so low inductance output filter (+big capacitance) like you use (5uH)? You've given your reasons before, what are the drawbacks of this approach?
Try a second diode to force a lower supply voltage to the low side
Hi Eva,
I don't get it.
Under which conditions do you expect issues?
Low supply voltage of the low side driver?
But that's always trouble and I am avoiding issues with the UVLO of the drivers.
Inbalance of the supply rails?
From my understanding the supply pump effect would act stabilizing, not destabilzing.

Sorry, I was replying to this post from lumanauw. It seems that I checked the wrong "quote" box.
A way to bypass UCC27200 internal diode is to use an external dropper diode to reduce the low side supply voltage by 0.65V and connect an external bootstrap diode before this diode.

Small and simple...go for it
I examined it and decided not to use it.
The overlap can be serious.
Especially if the pulses are short...
If you feed this into the inputs of the driver...
Upper trace: High Side Input with 2V/Grid
Lower trace: Low Side Input with 2V/Grid

...then you do not just get slightly longer ON pulses at the output... it may happen that the High Side Driver does not notice at all that it should move down, while the LOW Side Driver is delivering an enlarged pulse....
Upper trace: High Side Output with 10V/Grid
Lower trace: Low Side Output with 10V/Grid
Upper trace: High Side Output with 10V/Grid
Lower trace: Low Side Output with 10V/Grid
