LM5106 LM5106 100V Half Bridge Gate Driver with Programmable Dead-Time Literature Number: SNVS424B LM5106 100V Half Bridge Gate Driver with Programmable DeadTime General Description The LM5106 is a high voltage gate driver designed to drive both the high side and low side N-Channel MOSFETs in a synchronous buck or half bridge configuration. The floating high side driver is capable of working with rail voltages up to 100V. The single control input is compatible with TTL signal levels and a single external resistor programs the switching transition dead-time through tightly matched turn-on delay circuits. The robust level shift technology operates at high speed while consuming low power and provides clean output transitions. Under-voltage lockout disables the gate driver when either the low side or the bootstrapped high side supply voltage is below the operating threshold. The LM5106 is offered in the MSOP-10 or thermally enhanced 10-pin LLP plastic package. Bootstrap supply voltage range up to 118V DC Single TTL compatible Input Programmable turn-on delays (Dead-time) Enable Input pin Fast turn-off propagation delays (32ns typical) Drives 1000pF with 15ns rise and 10ns fall time Supply rail under-voltage lockout Low power consumption Typical Applications Solid State motor drives Half and Full Bridge power converters Two switch forward power converters Features Package Drives both a high side and low side N-channel MOSFET 1.8A peak output sink current 1.2A peak output source current LLP-10 (4 mm x 4 mm) MSOP-10 Simplified Block Diagram 20175902 FIGURE 1.

Note 5: The JA is not a constant for the package and depends on the printed circuit board design and the operating conditions. Note 6: In the application the HS node is clamped by the body diode of the external lower N-MOSFET, therefore the HS voltage will generally not exceed -1V. However in some applications, board resistance and inductance may result in the HS node exceeding this stated voltage transiently. If negative transients occur on HS, the HS voltage must never be more negative than VDD - 15V. For example, if VDD = 10V, the negative transients at HS must not exceed -5V. www.national.com 4 LM5106 Typical Performance Characteristics VDD Operating Current vs Frequency Operating Current vs Temperature 20175911 20175910 Quiescent Current vs Supply Voltage Quiescent Current vs Temperature 20175913 20175912 HB Operating Current vs Frequency HO & LO Peak Output Current vs Output Voltage 20175917 20175916 5 www.national.com LM5106 Undervoltage Rising Threshold vs Temperature Undervoltage Hysteresis vs Temperature 20175919 20175918 LO & HO - Low Level Output Voltage vs Temperature LO & HO - High Level Output Voltage vs Temperature 20175921 20175920 Input Threshold vs Temperature Dead-Time vs RT Resistor Value 20175914 20175922 www.national.com 6 Dead-Time vs Temperature (RT = 100k) 20175926 20175927 Timing Diagrams 20175903 FIGURE 2.

LM5106 Enable: tsd Operational Notes The LM5106 is a single PWM input Gate Driver with Enable that offers a programmable dead-time. The dead-time is set with a resistor at the RDT pin and can be adjusted from 100ns to 600ns. The wide dead-time programming range provides the flexibility to optimize drive signal timing for a wide range of MOSFETS and applications. The RDT pin is biased at 3V and current limited to 1 mA maximum programming current. The time delay generator will accommodate resistor values from 5k to 100k with a deadtime time that is proportional to the RDT resistance. Grounding the RDT pin programs the LM5106 to drive both outputs with minimum dead-time. 5. POWER DISSIPATION CONSIDERATIONS The total IC power dissipation is the sum of the gate driver losses and the bootstrap diode losses. The gate driver losses are related to the switching frequency (f), output load capacitance on LO and HO (CL), and supply voltage (VDD) and can be roughly calculated as: STARTUP AND UVLO Both top and bottom drivers include under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protection circuitry which monitors the supply voltage (VDD) and bootstrap capacitor voltage (HB - HS) independently. The UVLO circuit inhibits each driver until sufficient supply voltage is available to turn-on the external MOSFETs, and the UVLO hysteresis prevents chattering during supply voltage transitions. When the supply voltage is applied to the VDD pin of the LM5106, the top and bottom gates are held low until V DD exceeds the UVLO threshold, typically about 6.9V. Any UVLO condition on the bootstrap capacitor will disable only the high side output (HO). PDGATES = 2 * f * CL * VDD2 There are some additional losses in the gate drivers due to the internal CMOS stages used to buffer the LO and HO outputs. The following plot shows the measured gate driver power dissipation versus frequency and load capacitance. At higher frequencies and load capacitance values, the power dissipation is dominated by the power losses driving the output loads and agrees well with the above equation. This plot can be used to approximate the power losses due to the gate drivers. LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS The optimum performance of high and low side gate drivers cannot be achieved without taking due considerations during circuit board layout. The following points are emphasized: 1. Low ESR / ESL capacitors must be connected close to the IC between VDD and VSS pins and between HB and HS pins to support high peak currents being drawn from VDD and HB during the turn-on of the external MOSFETs. 2. To prevent large voltage transients at the drain of the top MOSFET, a low ESR electrolytic capacitor and a good quality ceramic capacitor must be connected between the MOSFET drain and ground (VSS). 3. In order to avoid large negative transients on the switch node (HS) pin, the parasitic inductances between the source of the top MOSFET and the drain of the bottom MOSFET (synchronous rectifier) must be minimized. 4. Grounding considerations: a) The first priority in designing grounding connections is to confine the high peak currents that charge and discharge the MOSFET gates to a minimal physical area. This will decrease the loop inductance and minimize noise issues on the gate terminals of the MOSFETs. The gate driver should be placed as close as possible to the MOSFETs. b) The second consideration is the high current path that includes the bootstrap capacitor, the bootstrap diode, the local ground referenced bypass capacitor, and the low side MOSFET body diode. The bootstrap capacitor is www.national.com FIGURE 5. LM5106 Dead-time: DT recharged on a cycle-by-cycle basis through the bootstrap diode from the ground referenced VDD bypass capacitor. The recharging occurs in a short time interval and involves high peak current. Minimizing this loop length and area on the circuit board is important to ensure reliable operation. The resistor on the RDT pin must be placed very close to the IC and separated from the high current paths to avoid noise coupling to the time delay generator which could disrupt timer operation. Gate Driver Power Dissipation (LO + HO) VCC = 12V 20175905 HS TRANSIENT VOLTAGES BELOW GROUND The HS node will always be clamped by the body diode of the lower external FET. In some situations, board resistances and inductances can cause the HS node to transiently swing several volts below ground. The HS node can swing below ground provided: 8 2. 3. HS must always be at a lower potential than HO. Pulling HO more than -0.3V below HS can activate parasitic transistors resulting in excessive current flow from the HB supply, possibly resulting in damage to the IC. The same relationship is true with LO and VSS. If necessary, a Schottky diode can be placed externally between HO and HS or LO and GND to protect the IC from this type of transient. The diode must be placed as close to the IC pins as possible in order to be effective. HB to HS operating voltage should be 15V or less. Hence, if the HS pin transient voltage is -5V, VDD should be ideally limited to 10V to keep HB to HS below 15V. Low ESR bypass capacitors from HB to HS and from VCC to VSS are essential for proper operation. The capacitor should be located at the leads of the IC to minimize series inductance. The peak currents from LO and HO can be quite large. Any inductances in series with the bypass capacitor will cause voltage ringing at the leads of the IC which must be avoided for reliable operation. 20175908 FIGURE 6.
