DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The SM72482 dual gate driver consists of two independent and identical driver channels with TTL compatible
logic inputs and high current totem-pole outputs that source or sink current to drive MOSFET gates. The driver
output consist of a compound structure with MOS and bipolar transistor operating in parallel to optimize current
capability over a wide output voltage and operating temperature range. The bipolar device provides high peak
current at the critical threshold region of the MOSFET VGS while the MOS devices provide rail-to-rail output
swing. The totem pole output drives the MOSFET gate between the gate drive supply voltage VCC and the power
ground potential at the VEE pin.
The control inputs of the drivers are high impedance CMOS buffers with TTL compatible threshold voltages. The
SM72482 pinout was designed for compatibility with industry standard gate drivers in single supply gate driver
applications.
The input stage of each driver should be driven by a signal with a short rise and fall time. Slow rising and falling
input signals, although not harmful to the driver, may result in the output switching repeatedly at a high
frequency.
The two driver channels of the SM72482 are designed as identical cells. Transistor matching inherent to
integrated circuit manufacturing ensures that the AC and DC peformance of the channels are nearly identical.
Closely matched propagation delays allow the dual driver to be operated as a single with inputs and output pins
connected. The drive current capability in parallel operation is precisely 2X the drive of an individual channel.
Small differences in switching speed between the driver channels will produce a transient current (shoot-through)
in the output stage when two output pins are connected to drive a single load. Differences in input thresholds
between the driver channels will also produce a transient current (shoot-through) in the output stage. Fast
transition input signals are especially important while operating in a parallel configuration. The efficiency loss for
parallel operation has been characterized at various loads, supply voltages and operating frequencies. The
power dissipation in the SM72482 increases less than 1% relative to the dual driver configuration when operated
as a single driver with inputs/ outputs connected.
An Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) circuit is included in the SM72482, which senses the voltage difference
between VCC and the chip ground pin, VEE. When the VCC to VEE voltage difference falls below 2.8V both driver
channels are disabled. The UVLO hysteresis prevents chattering during brown-out conditions and the driver will
resume normal operation when the VCC to VEE differential voltage exceeds approximately 3.0V.
The SM72482MY –1 device hold both outputs in the low state in the under-voltage lockout (UVLO) condition. The
SM72482MA–4 has an active high output state of OUT_A during UVLO. When VCC is less than the UVLO
threshold voltage, OUT_A will be locked in the high state while OUT_B will be disabled in the low state. This
configuration allows the SM72482MY –4 to drive a PFET through OUT_A and an NFET through OUT_B with
both FETs safely turned off during UVLO.
Layout Considerations
Attention must be given to board layout when using SM72482. Some important considerations include:
1. A Low ESR/ESL capacitor must be connected close to the IC and between the VCC and VEE pins to support
high peak currents being drawn from VCC during turn-on of the MOSFET.
2. Proper grounding is crucial. The drivers need a very low impedance path for current return to ground
avoiding inductive loops. The two paths for returning current to ground are a) between SM72482 VEE pin and
the ground of the circuit that controls the driver inputs, b) between SM72482 VEE pin and the source of the
power MOSFET being driven. All these paths should be as short as possible to reduce inductance and be as
wide as possible to reduce resistance. All these ground paths should be kept distinctly separate to avoid
coupling between the high current output paths and the logic signals that drive the SM72482. A good method
is to dedicate one copper plane in a multi-layered PCB to provide a common ground surface.
3. With the rise and fall times in the range of 10 ns to 30 ns, care is required to minimize the lengths of current
carrying conductors to reduce their inductance and EMI from the high di/dt transients generated by the
SM72482.
4. The SM72482 footprint is compatible with other industry standard drivers including the TC4426/27/28 and
UCC27323/4/5.
5. If either channel is not being used, the respective input pin (IN_A or IN_B) should be connected to either VEE
or VCC to avoid spurious output signals.

Thermal Performance
INTRODUCTION
The primary goal of thermal management is to maintain the integrated circuit (IC) junction temperature (TJ) below
a specified maximum operating temperature to ensure reliability. It is essential to estimate the maximum TJ of IC
components in worst case operating conditions. The junction temperature is estimated based on the power
dissipated in the IC and the junction to ambient thermal resistance θJA for the IC package in the application board
and environment. The θJA is not a given constant for the package and depends on the printed circuit board
design and the operating environment.
DRIVE POWER REQUIREMENT CALCULATIONS IN SM72482
The SM72482 dual low side MOSFET driver is capable of sourcing/sinking 3A/5A peak currents for short
intervals to drive a MOSFET without exceeding package power dissipation limits. High peak currents are
required to switch the MOSFET gate very quickly for operation at high frequencies.
VGATE
VHIGH
Q1
RG
VTRIG
CIN
Q2
The schematic above shows a conceptual diagram of the SM72482 output and MOSFET load. Q1 and Q2 are
the switches within the gate driver. RG is the gate resistance of the external MOSFET, and CIN is the equivalent
gate capacitance of the MOSFET. The gate resistance Rg is usually very small and losses in it can be neglected.
The equivalent gate capacitance is a difficult parameter to measure since it is the combination of CGS (gate to
source capacitance) and CGD (gate to drain capacitance). Both of these MOSFET capacitances are not constants
and vary with the gate and drain voltage. The better way of quantifying gate capacitance is the total gate charge
QG in coloumbs. QG combines the charge required by CGS and CGD for a given gate drive voltage VGATE.
Assuming negligible gate resistance, the total power dissipated in the MOSFET driver due to gate charge is
approximated by
PDRIVER = VGATE x QG x FSW
where
•
FSW = switching frequency of the MOSFET
(1)
For example, consider the MOSFET MTD6N15 whose gate charge specified as 30 nC for VGATE = 12V.
The power dissipation in the driver due to charging and discharging of MOSFET gate capacitances at switching
frequency of 300 kHz and VGATE of 12V is equal to
PDRIVER = 12V x 30 nC x 300 kHz = 0.108W.
(2)
If both channels of the SM72482 are operating at equal frequency with equivalent loads, the total losses will be
twice as this value which is 0.216W.
In addition to the above gate charge power dissipation, - transient power is dissipated in the driver during output
transitions. When either output of the SM72482 changes state, current will flow from VCC to VEE for a very brief
interval of time through the output totem-pole N and P channel MOSFETs. The final component of power
dissipation in the driver is the power associated with the quiescent bias current consumed by the driver input
stage and Under-voltage lockout sections.

SNVS696C – JANUARY 2011 – REVISED APRIL 2013
Characterization of the SM72482 provides accurate estimates of the transient and quiescent power dissipation
components. At 300 kHz switching frequency and 30 nC load used in the example, the transient power will be 8
mW. The 1 mA nominal quiescent current and 12V VGATE supply produce a 12 mW typical quiescent power.
Therefore the total power dissipation
PD = 0.216 + 0.008 + 0.012 = 0.236W.
(3)
We know that the junction temperature is given by
TJ = PD x θJA + TA
(4)
Or the rise in temperature is given by
TRISE = TJ − TA = PD x θJA
(5)
For SOIC package, θJA is estimated as 170°C/W for the conditions of natural convection. For VSSOP, θJA is
typically 60°C/W.
Therefore for SOIC TRISE is equal to
TRISE = 0.236 x 170 = 40.1°C
(6)
CONTINUOUS CURRENT RATING OF SM72482
The SM72482 can deliver pulsed source/sink currents of 3A and 5A to capacitive loads. In applications requiring
continuous load current (resistive or inductive loads), package power dissipation, limits the SM72482 current
capability far below the 5A sink/3A source capability. Rated continuous current can be estimated both when
sourcing current to or sinking current from the load. For example when sinking, the maximum sink current can be
calculated as:
ISINK (MAX) :=
TJ(MAX) - TA
TJA · RDS (ON)
where
•
RDS(on) is the on resistance of lower MOSFET in the output stage of SM72482
(7)
Consider TJ(max) of 125°C and θJA of 170°C/W for an SOIC package under the condition of natural convection
and no air flow. If the ambient temperature (TA) is 60°C, and the RDS(on) of the SM72482 output at TJ(max) is
2.5Ω, this equation yields ISINK(max) of 391mA which is much smaller than 5A peak pulsed currents.
Similarly, the maximum continuous source current can be calculated as
TJ(MAX) - TA
ISOURCE (MAX) :=
TJA · VDIODE
where
•
VDIODE is the voltage drop across hybrid output stage which varies over temperature and can be assumed to
be about 1.1V at TJ(max) of 125°C
(8)
Assuming the same parameters as above, this equation yields ISOURCE(max) of 347mA.
