DESCRIPTION
The device is a high voltage half bridge driver with
built in oscillator. The frequency of the oscillator can
be programmed using external resistor and capaci-
tor. The internal circuitry of the device allows it to be
driven also by external logic signal.
The output drivers are designed to drive external n-
channel power MOSFET and IGBT. The internal log-
ic assures a dead time [typ. 1.25
µ
s] to avoid cross-
conduction of the power devices.
Two version are available: L6569 and L6569A. They
differ in the l ow voltage gate driver star t up seq uence.

Pin Description
1 VS Supply input voltage with internal clamp [typ. 15.6V]
2 RF Oscillator timing resistor pin.
A buffer set alternatively to VS and GND can provide current to the external resistor RF
connected between pin 2 and 3.
Alternatively, the signal on pin 2 can be used also to drive another IC (i.e. another L6569 to drive
a full H-bridge)
3 CF Oscillator timing capacitor pin.
A capacitor connected between this pin and GND fixes (together with RF) the oscillat ing
frequency
Alternatively an external logic signal can be applied to the pin to drive the IC.
4 GND Ground
5 LVG Low side driver output.
The output stage can deliver 170mA source and 270mA sink [typ.values].
6 OUT Upper driver floating reference
7 HVG High side driver output.
The output stage can deliver 170mA source and 270mA sink [typ.values].
8 BOOT Bootstrap voltage supply.
It is the upper driver floating supply . The bootstrap capacitor connected between this pin and pin
6 can be fed by an internal structure named “bootstrap driver” (a patented structure). This
structure can replace the external bootstrap diode.

OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY
The frequency of the internal oscillator can be programmed using external resistor and capacitor.
The nominal oscillator frequency can be calculated using the following equation:
Where R
F
and C
F
are the external resistor and capacitor.
The device c an be dr iven i n "shut down" condi tion keeping the C
F
pin close to GND, but some car es hav e to be
taken:
1. When C
F
is to GND the high side driver is off and the low side is on
2. The forced discharge of the os cill ator capacitor C
F
must not be shor ter than 1us: a s imple w ay to do this i s to

Bootstrap Function
The L65 69 has an i nternal Bootstr ap structure that enables the user to avoid the external di ode needed, in sim-
ilar device s, to perform the char ge of the bootstrap c apacitor that, in tur ns , provide an appropr iate driv ing to the
Upper External Mosfet.
The operation is achieved with an unique structure (patented) that uses a High Voltage Lateral DMOS dr iven
by an internal charge pump (see Block Diagram) and synchronized, with a 50 nsec delay, with the Low Side
Gate driver (LVG pin), actually working as a synchronous rectifier .
The char ging path for the Bootstr ap capacitor is closed via the Lower External Mosfet that i s driven ON (i.e. LV G
High) for a time interval: T

F
· In2

starting from the time the Supply Voltage V
S
has reached the Turn On Voltage (V
SUVP
= 9 V typical value).
After time T
1
(see waveform Diagram) the LDMOS that charges the Bootstrap Capacitor, is on with a R
ON
=120
(typical value).
In the L6569A a different star t up procedure is follow ed (see wa veform Diagram). The Lower External Mosfet i s
drive OFF until V
S
has reached the Turn On Threshold (V
SUVPp
), then again the T
C
time interval starts as above.
Being the LDMOS used to implement the bootstrap operation a "bi-directional" switch the current flowing into
the BOOT pin (pin 8) can lead an undue stress to the LDMOS itself if a ZER O VOLTAGE SWITC HING opera-
tions is not en sured, and then an high v oltage is applied to the BOOT pin. Thi s condition can occur, for exa mple,
when the load is removed and an high resistive value is placed in series with the gate of the external Power
Mos. To help the user to secure his design a SAFE OPERATING AREA for the Bootstrap LDMOS is provided
(fig. 7).
Let's consider the steps that should be taken.
1) Calculate the Turn on delay ( td ) of your Lower Power MOS:
2) Calculate the Fall time ( tf ) of your Lower Power MOS:

3) Sketch the VBOOT wavefor m (using log-log scales ) starti ng from the Drain Voltage of the Lower Power MOS

is given where:

DEMO BOARD
To allow an easy evaluation of the device, a P.C. board dedicated to lamp ballast application has been de-
signed.
Fig. 11 shows the electric al schematic of a typical bal last appl ication, w hile th e PC and component l ayout is giv-
en in Fig12. This application has been designed to work with both the 110+/-20%V and the 220 +/- 20%V mains
by means of a v oltage doubler c onfiguration at the bul k capac itor. The ballas t inductance and the oper ating fre-
quen cy are especially designed for a 18 W Sylvania De-luxe T/E type bulb. The PTC for preheat at the start up
and the two back to back synchronization diodes, makes this application easy to implement and safe in opera-
tion.
