STGAP2SiCD connected issue

Hello ,

I'm using the STGAP2SiCD gate driver IC to my application as a power conversion unit.

I have some question about VDD pin and each logic input's voltage level.

In my application, I connceted 3.3V to VDD and used MCU PWM output pin to INA(3.3V),

and BRAKE, SD, iLOCK pin pull high to VDD.

but i can't earn any enerage from gate driver IC to let MOS turn on,

 

In datasheet, I observe  the input logic condition  --  Vil and Vih

these pin record the output signal transfer's thershold voltage.

it means if this input logic INA greater than 0.72*3.3V(VDD) than output VHA and GON_A pin will short.

but I can not gate correct waveform from this driver IC.

I think I can fully satisfy this condition.

 

And if I used 5V to VDD,and used same condition MCU PWM output pin to INA(3.3V),

it will have correct waveform, but I have some question about this driver IC.

in worst case,the INA pin cannot fully satisfy greater than 0.72*5V(VDD).

but it have correct waveform.

 

Is my undestanding about this thershold rule wrong or Is there anything else I need to know?

 

Thank you in advance.
