The MIC4605 is an 85V half-bridge MOSFET driver
that features adaptive dead time and shoot-through
protection. The adaptive dead-time circuitry actively
monitors the half-bridge outputs to minimize the time
between high-side and low-side MOSFET transitions,
thus maximizing power efficiency. Shoot-through
protection circuitry prevents erroneous inputs and noise
from turning both MOSFETS on at the same time.
The MIC4605 also offers a wide 5.5V to 16V operating
supply range to maximize system efficiency. The low
5.5V operating voltage allows longer run times in
battery-powered applications. Additionally, the MIC4605
device’s adjustable gate drive sets the gate drive voltage
to VDD for optimal MOSFET RDS(ON), which minimizes
power loss due to the MOSFET’s RDS(ON).
The MIC4605 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package
and a tiny 10-pin 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm TDFN package.
Both packages have an operating junction temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C.

The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of ambient temperature, the maximum allowable
junction temperature and the thermal resistance from junction to air (i.e., TA, TJ, JA). Exceeding the
maximum allowable power dissipation will cause the device operating junction temperature to exceed the
maximum +125°C rating. Sustained junction temperatures above +125°C can impact the device reliability.

TIMING DIAGRAMS
In LI/HI Input mode, the external LI/HI inputs are delayed to the point that HS is low before LI is pulled high and similarly,
LO is low before HI goes high.
HO goes high with a high signal on HI after a typical delay of 35 ns (tHPLH). HI going low drives HO low, also with a
typical delay of 35 ns (tHPHL).
Likewise, LI going high forces LO high after a typical delay of 35 ns (tLPLH) and LO follows the low transition of LI after
a typical delay of 35 ns (tLPHL).
HO and LO output rise and fall times (tR/tF) are typically 20 ns, driving 1000 pF capacitive loads.
Note:
All propagation delays are measured from the 50% voltage level.

When the LI/HI input on conditions overlap, LO/HO output states are dominated by the first output to be turned on. That
is, if LI goes high (on) while HO is high, HO stays high until HI goes low; at which point, after a delay of tHOOFF and when
HS < 2.2V, LO goes high with a delay of tLOON. Should HS never trip the aforementioned internal comparator reference
(2.2V), a falling HI edge delayed by 250 ns will set the “HS latch”, allowing LO to go high.
If HS falls very fast, LO will be held low by a 35 ns delay gated by HI going low. Conversely, HI going high (on) when
LO is high has no effect on the outputs until LI is pulled low (off) and LO falls to < 1.9V. Delay from LI going low to LO
falling is tLOOFF and delay from LO < 1.9V to HO being on is tHOON.

MIC4605
The PWM signal applied to the MIC4605-2 going low causes HO to go low, typically 35 ns (tHOOFF) after the PWM input
goes low; at which point, the switch node HS falls (1-2 in Figure 4-3).
When HS reaches 2.2V (VSWTH), the external high-side MOSFET is deemed off and LO goes high, typically within 35 ns
(tLOON). HS falling below 1.9V sets a latch that can only be reset by PWM going high. This design prevents ringing on
HS from causing an indeterminate LO state. Should HS never trip the aforementioned internal comparator reference
(2.2V), a falling PWM edge delayed by 250 ns will set the “HS latch”, allowing LO to go high. An 80 ns delay, gated by
PWM going low, may determine the time to LO going high for fast falling HS designs (3-4 in Figure 4-3).
PWM goes high forcing LO low in typically 35 ns (tLOOFF) (5-6 in Figure 4-3).
When LO reaches 1.9V (VLOOFF), the low-side MOSFET is deemed off and HO is allowed to go high. The delay between
these two points is typically 35 ns (tLOON). HO goes high with a high signal on HI after a typical delay of 35 ns (tHPLH).
HI going low drives HO low, also with a typical delay of 35 ns (tHPHL) (7-8 in Figure 4-3).
HO and LO output rise and fall times (tR/tF) are typically 20 ns, driving 1000 pF capacitive loads.

BLOCK DIAGRAM
For HO to be high, HI must be high and LO must be low. HO going high is delayed by LO falling below 1.9V. The HI and
LI inputs must not rise at the same time to prevent a glitch from occurring on the output. A minimum 50 ns delay between
both inputs is recommended.
LO is turned off very quickly on the LI falling edge. LO going high is delayed by the longer of a 35 ns delay of the HO
control signal going “off” or the RS latch being set.
The latch is set by the quicker of either the falling edge of HS or the LI gated delay of 240 ns. The latch is present to
lockout LO bounce due to ringing on HS. If HS never adequately falls due to the absence of or the presence of a very
weak external pull-down on HS, the gated delay of 240 ns at LI will set the latch, allowing LO to transition high. This, in
turn, allows the LI start-up pulse to charge the bootstrap capacitor if the load inductor current is very low and HS is
uncontrolled. The latch is reset by the LI falling edge.

MIC4605

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MIC4605 is a noninverting, 85V half-bridge
MOSFET driver designed to independently drive both
high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs. The
MIC4605 offers a wide 5.5V to 16V operating supply
range with either dual TTL inputs (MIC4605-1) or a
single PWM input (MIC4605-2). Refer to Figure 5-1.
Both drivers contain an input buffer with hysteresis, a
UVLO circuit and an output buffer. The high-side output
buffer includes a high-speed level-shifting circuit that is
referenced to the HS pin. An internal diode is used as
part of a bootstrap circuit to provide the drive voltage for
the high-side output.
6.1
6.4
Low-Side Driver
A block diagram of the low-side driver is shown in
Figure 6-1. The low-side driver is designed to drive a
ground (VSS pin) referenced N-channel MOSFET. Low
driver impedances allow the external MOSFET to be
turned on and off quickly. The rail-to-rail drive capability
of the output ensures a low RDS(ON) from the external
MOSFET.
A high level applied to the LI pin causes the upper driver
MOSFET to turn on and VDD voltage is applied to the
gate of the external MOSFET. A low level on the LI pin
turns off the upper driver and turns on the low-side driver
to ground the gate of the external MOSFET.
Start-up and UVLO
VDD
The UVLO circuit forces the driver output low until the
supply voltage exceeds the UVLO threshold. The
low-side UVLO circuit monitors the voltage between
the VDD and VSS pins. The high-side UVLO circuit
monitors the voltage between the HB and HS pins.
Hysteresis in the UVLO circuit prevents noise and finite
circuit impedance from causing chatter during turn-on.
6.2
LO
Enable Input
The 10-pin 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm TDFN package features
an enable pin for on/off control of the device. Logic high
on the enable pin (EN) allows for start-up and normal
operation to occur. Conversely, when a logic low is
applied on the enable pin, the device enters Shutdown
mode.
The start-up time until normal operation after the rising
edge of the enable pin (EN) is approximately 100 µs.
As soon as the device enters Normal Operation mode,
the high-side output pin (HO) takes the status according to the input pin (HI for the -1 option or PWM for the
-2 option). Entering Normal Operation mode for low
side, the LO pin only first gets active after a falling edge
of the input pin (LI or PWM).

terminal is referenced to the HS pin.
Input Stage
Both the HI/LI pins of the MIC4605-1 and the single
PWM input of the MIC4605-2 are referenced to the VSS
pin. The voltage state of the input signal(s) does not
change the quiescent current draw of the driver.
The MIC4605 has a TTL-compatible input range and
can be used with input signals with amplitude less than
the supply voltage. The threshold level is independent
of the VDD supply voltage and there is no dependence
between IVDD and the input signal amplitude with the
MIC4605. This feature makes the MIC4605 an
excellent level translator that will drive high-threshold
MOSFETs from a low-voltage PWM IC.

A low-power, high-speed, level-shifting circuit isolates
the low-side (VSS pin) referenced circuitry from the
high-side (HS pin) referenced driver. Power to the
high-side driver and UVLO circuit is supplied by the
bootstrap circuit, while the voltage level of the HS pin is
shifted high.
The bootstrap circuit consists of an internal diode and
external capacitor, CB. In a typical application, such as
the synchronous buck converter shown in Figure 6-3,
the HS pin is at ground potential while the low-side
MOSFET is on. The internal diode allows capacitor CB
to charge up to VDD – VF during this time (where VF is
the forward voltage drop of the internal diode). After the
low-side MOSFET is turned off and the HO pin turns
on, the voltage across capacitor CB is applied to the
gate of the upper external MOSFET. As the upper
MOSFET turns on, voltage on the HS pin rises with the
source of the high-side MOSFET until it reaches VIN. As
the HS and HB pins rise, the internal diode is reverse
biased, preventing capacitor CB from discharging.

Programmable Gate Drive
The MIC4605 offers programmable gate drive, which
means the MOSFET gate drive (gate-to-source
voltage) equals the VDD voltage. This feature offers
designers flexibility in driving the MOSFETs. Different
MOSFETs require different VGS characteristics for
optimum RDS(ON) performance. Typically, the higher
the gate voltage (up to 16V), the lower the RDS(ON)
achieved. For example, a 4899 MOSFET can be driven
to the ON state at 4.5V gate voltage but RDS(ON) is
7.5 mΩ. If driven to 10V gate voltage, RDS(ON) is
4.5 mΩ. In low-current applications, the losses due to
RDS(ON) are minimal, but in high-current applications,
such as power hand tools, the difference in RDS(ON)
can cut into the efficiency budget.
In portable hand tools and other battery-powered applications, the MIC4605 offers the ability to drive motors
at a lower voltage compared to the traditional MOSFET
drivers because of the wide VDD range (5.5V to 16V).
Traditional MOSFET drivers typically require a VDD
greater than 9V. The MIC4605 drives a motor using
only two Li-ion batteries (total 7.2V) compared to traditional MOSFET drivers, which will require at least three
cells (total of 10.8V) to exceed the minimal VDD range.
As an additional benefit, the low 5.5V gate drive capability allows a longer run time. This is because the Li-ion
battery can run down to 5.5V, which is just above its 4.8V
minimum recommended discharge voltage. This is also
a benefit in higher current power tools that use five or six
cells. The driver can be operated up to 16V to minimize
the RDS(ON) of the MOSFETs and use as much of the
discharge battery pack as possible for a longer run time.
For example, an 18V battery pack can be used to the
lowest operating discharge voltage of 13.5V.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
7.1
Adaptive Dead Time
The MIC4605 Typical Application Circuit diagram
illustrates how the MIC4605 drives the power stage of a
DC motor. It is important that only one of the two
MOSFETs is on at any given time. If both MOSFETs on
the same side of the half-bridge are simultaneously on,
VIN will short to ground. The high current from the shorted
VIN supply will then “shoot through” the MOSFETs into
ground. Excessive shoot-through causes higher power
dissipation in the MOSFETs, voltage spikes and ringing
in the circuit. The high current and voltage ringing generate conducted and radiated EMI. Table 7-1 illustrates
truth tables for both the MIC4605-1 (dual TTL inputs) and
MIC4605-2 (single PWM input) that details the “first on”
priority as well as the failsafe delay.
Adaptive dead time monitors voltages on the gate drive
outputs and switch node to determine when to switch
the MOSFETs on and off. This active approach adjusts
the delays to account for some of the variations, but it
too has its disadvantages. High currents and fast
switching voltages in the gate drive and return paths
can cause parasitic ringing to turn the MOSFETs back
on, even while the gate driver output is low. Another
disadvantage is that the driver cannot monitor the gate
voltage inside the MOSFET. Figure 7-1 shows an
equivalent circuit of the gate driver section, including
parasitics.

Minimizing shoot-through can be done passively,
actively or through a combination of both. Passive
shoot-through protection can be achieved by implementing delays between the high and low gate drivers to
prevent both MOSFETs from being on at the same time.
These delays can be adjusted for different applications.
Although simple, the disadvantage of this approach is
that it requires long delays to account for process and
temperature variations in the MOSFET and MOSFET
driver.

The internal gate resistance (RG_FET) and any external

the driver output. There is a delay between when the
driver output goes low and the MOSFET turns off. This
turn-off delay is usually specified in the MOSFET data
sheet. This delay increases when an external damping
resistor is used.
The MIC4605 uses a combination of active sensing
and passive delay to ensure that both MOSFETs are
not on at the same time, minimizing shoot-through current. Figure 7-2 illustrates how the adaptive dead-time

Figure 7-3 shows the dead time (< 20 ns) between the

The maximum duty cycle (ratio of high-side on-time to
switching period) is determined by the time required for
the CB capacitor to charge during the off-time. Adequate
time must be allowed for the CB capacitor to charge up
before the high-side driver is turned back on.

Care must be taken to ensure that the input signal
pulse width is greater than the minimum specified pulse
width. An input signal that is less than the minimum
pulse width may result in no output pulse or an output
pulse whose width is significantly less than the input.
Although the adaptive dead-time circuit in the MIC4605
prevents the driver from turning both MOSFETs on at
the same time, other factors outside of the antishoot-through

FIGURE 7-3:
Adaptive Dead-Time LO
(Low) to HO (High).
A high level on the PWM pin causes the LO pin to go
low. The MIC4605 monitors the LO pin voltage and
prevents the HO pin from turning on until the voltage on
the LO pin reaches the VLOOFF threshold. After a short
delay, the MIC4605 drives the HO pin high. Monitoring
the LO voltage eliminates any excessive delay due to
the MOSFET drivers turn-off time, and the short delay
accounts for the MOSFET turn-off delay, as well as
letting the LO pin voltage settle out. An external resistor
between the LO output and the MOSFET may affect
the performance of the LO pin monitoring circuit and is
not recommended.
A low on the PWM pin causes the HO pin to go low after
a short delay (tHOOFF). Before the LO pin can go high,
the voltage on the switching node (HS pin) must have
dropped to 2.2V. Monitoring the switch voltage instead
of the HO pin voltage eliminates timing variations and
excessive delays due to the high-side MOSFET
turn-off. The LO driver turns on after a short delay
(tLOON). Once the LO driver is turned on, it is latched on
until the PWM signal goes high. This prevents any ringing or oscillations on the switch node, or the HS pin
from turning off the LO driver. If the PWM pin goes low
and the voltage on the HS pin does not cross the
VSWTH threshold, the LO pin will be forced high after a
short delay (tSWTO), ensuring proper operation.
Fast propagation delay between the input and output
drive waveform is desirable. It improves overcurrent
protection by decreasing the response time between
the control signal and the MOSFET gate drive. Minimizing propagation delay also minimizes phase-shift errors
in power supplies with wide bandwidth control loops.
2018-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.
7.2
HS Pin Clamp
A resistor/diode clamp between the switch node and
the HS pin is necessary to clamp large negative
glitches or pulses on the HS pin.
Figure 7-4 shows the Phase A section high-side and
low-side MOSFETs connected to one phase of the
three-phase motor. There is a brief period of time (dead
time) between switching to prevent both MOSFETs
from being on at the same time. When the high-side
MOSFET is conducting during the On-Time state, current flows into the motor. After the high-side MOSFET
turns off, but before the low-side MOSFET turns on,
current from the motor flows through the body diode in
parallel with the low-side MOSFET. Depending upon
the turn-on time of the body diode, the motor current
and circuit parasitics, the initial negative voltage on the
switch node can be several volts or more. The forward
voltage drop of the body diode can be several volts,
depending on the body diode characteristics and motor
current.
Even though the HS pin is rated for negative voltage, it
is good practice to clamp the negative voltage on the HS
pin with a resistor and possibly a diode to prevent
excessive negative voltage from damaging the driver.
Depending upon the application and amount of negative
voltage on the switch node, a 3Ω resistor is recommended. If the HS pin voltage exceeds 0.7V, a diode or
a Schottky diode between the HS pin and ground is
recommended. The diode reverse voltage rating must
be greater than the high-voltage input supply (VIN).
Larger values of resistance can be used if necessary.
Adding a series resistor in the switch node limits the
peak high-side driver current during turn-off, which
affects the switching speed of the high-side driver. The
resistor in series with the HO pin may be reduced to
help compensate for the extra HS pin resistance.

The reverse leakage current of the internal bootstrap
diode is typically 3 µA at a reverse voltage of 85V at
+125°C. Power dissipation due to reverse leakage is
typically much less than 1 mW and can be ignored.

Power Dissipation Considerations
Power dissipation in the driver can be separated into
three areas:
• Internal diode dissipation in the bootstrap circuit
• Internal driver dissipation
• Quiescent current dissipation used to supply the
internal logic and control functions.
7.4
Bootstrap Circuit Power Dissipation
Power dissipation of the internal bootstrap diode primarily comes from the average charging current of the CB
capacitor, multiplied by the forward voltage drop of the
diode. Secondary sources of diode power dissipation
are the reverse leakage current and reverse recovery
effects of the diode.
The average current drawn by repeated charging of the
high-side MOSFET is calculated by:
EQUATION 7-1:
I F AVE = Q GATE f S
Where:
QGATE = Total Gate Charge at VHB – VHS
fS = Gate Drive Switching Frequency
The average power dissipated by the forward voltage
drop of the diode equals:
EQUATION 7-2:
Reverse recovery time is the time required for the
injected minority carriers to be swept away from the
depletion region during turn-off of the diode. Power
dissipation due to reverse recovery can be calculated by
computing the average reverse current due to reverse
recovery charge times the reverse voltage across the
diode. The average reverse current and power
dissipation due to reverse recovery can be estimated by:
EQUATION 7-3:
I RR AVE = 0.5 I RRM t RR f S
Where:
IRRM =
tRR
VF = Diode Forward Voltage Drop
The value of VF should be taken at the peak current
through the diode; however, this current is difficult to calculate because of differences in source impedances.
The peak current can either be measured or the value of
VF at the average current can be used, which will yield a
good approximation of diode power dissipation.

EQUATION 7-4:
PDIODErr = I RR AVE V REV
The total diode power dissipation is:
EQUATION 7-5:
PDIODEtotal = PDIODEfwd + PDIODErr
An optional external bootstrap diode may be used
instead of the internal diode (Figure 7-5). An external
diode may be useful if high gate charge MOSFETs are
being driven and the power dissipation of the internal
diode is contributing to excessive die temperatures.
The voltage drop of the external diode must be less
than the internal diode for this option to work. The
reverse voltage across the diode will be equal to the
input voltage minus the VDD supply voltage. The above
equations can be used to calculate power dissipation in
the external diode; however, if the external diode has
significant reverse leakage current, the power
dissipated in that diode due to reverse leakage can be
calculated as:

DISSIPATION DURING THE
EXTERNAL MOSFET TURN-ON
Energy from capacitor CB is used to charge up the input
capacitance of the MOSFET (CGD and CGS). The
energy delivered to the MOSFET is dissipated in the
three resistive components, RON, RG and RG_FET. RON
is the on-resistance of the upper driver MOSFET in the
MIC4605. RG is the series resistor (if any) between the
driver IC and the MOSFET. RG_FET is the gate resistance of the MOSFET. RG_FET is usually listed in the
power MOSFET’s specifications. The ESR of capacitor
CB and the resistance of the connecting etch can be
ignored because they are much less than RON and
RG_FET.
The effective capacitances of CGD and CGS are difficult
to calculate because they vary nonlinearly with ID, VGS
and VDS. Fortunately, most power MOSFET specifications include a typical graph of total gate charge versus
VGS. Figure 7-7 shows a typical gate charge curve for
an arbitrary power MOSFET. This chart shows that for
a gate voltage of 10V, the MOSFET requires about
23.5 nC of charge. The energy dissipated by the
resistive components of the gate drive circuit during
turn-on is calculated as:

Total Power Dissipation and
Thermal Considerations
Total power dissipation in the MIC4605 is equal to the
power dissipation caused by driving the external
MOSFETs, the supply current and the internal
bootstrap diode.

Supply Current Power Dissipation
Power is dissipated in the MIC4605 even if nothing is
being driven. The supply current is drawn by the bias
for the internal circuitry, the level shifting circuitry and
the shoot-through current in the output drivers. The
supply current is proportional to the operating
frequency and the VDD and VHB voltages. The typical
characteristic graphs show how supply current varies
with switching frequency and supply voltage.

Other Timing Considerations
Make sure the input signal pulse width is greater than
the minimum specified pulse width. An input signal that
is less than the minimum pulse width may result in no
output pulse or an output pulse whose width is
significantly less than the input.
The maximum duty cycle (ratio of high-side on-time to
switching period) is controlled by the minimum pulse
width of the low side and by the time required for the CB
capacitor to charge during the off-time. Adequate time
must be allowed for the CB capacitor to charge up
before the high-side driver is turned on.

current is:

Decoupling and Bootstrap
Capacitor Selection
Decoupling capacitors are required for both the
low-side (VDD) and high-side (HB) supply pins. These
capacitors supply the charge necessary to drive the
external MOSFETs and also minimize the voltage
ripple on these pins. The capacitor from HB to HS has
two functions: it provides decoupling for the high-side
circuitry and also provides current to the high-side
circuit while the high-side external MOSFET is on.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their
low impedance and small size. Z5U-type ceramic
capacitor dielectrics are not recommended because of
the large change in capacitance over temperature and
voltage. A minimum value of 0.1 µF is required for each
of the capacitors, regardless of the MOSFETs being
driven. Larger MOSFETs may require larger capacitance values for proper operation. The voltage rating of
the capacitors depends on the supply voltage, ambient
temperature and the voltage derating used for reliability. 25V rated X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors are
recommended for most applications. The minimum
capacitance value should be increased if low-voltage
capacitors are used, because even good quality dielectric capacitors, such as X5R, will lose 40% to 70% of
their capacitance value at the rated voltage.
Placement of the decoupling capacitors is critical. The
bypass capacitor for VDD should be placed as close as
possible between the VDD and VSS pins. The bypass
capacitor (CB) for the HB supply pin must be located as
close as possible between the HB and HS pins. The
etch connections must be short, wide and direct. The
use of a ground plane to minimize connection
impedance is recommended. Refer to Section 7.12
“Grounding, Component Placement and Circuit
Layout” for more information.
EQUATION 7-13:
Q GATE
C B ----------------V HB
Where:
QGATE = Total Gate Charge at VHB
ΔVHB = Voltage Drop at the HB Pin
The decoupling capacitor for the VDD input may be
calculated in with the same formula; however, the two
capacitors are usually equal in value.
7.10
DC Motor Applications
MIC4605 MOSFET drivers are widely used in DC
motor applications. They address brushed motors in
both half-bridge and full-bridge motor topologies, as
well as 3-phase brushless motors. As shown in
Figure 7-8, Figure 7-9 and Figure 7-10, the drivers
switch the MOSFETs at variable duty cycles that
modulate the voltage to control motor speed. In the
half-bridge topology, the motor turns in one direction
only. The full-bridge topology allows for bidirectional
control. Three-phase motors are more efficient as compared to the brushed motors, but require three
half-bridge switches and additional circuitry to sense
the position of the rotor.
The MIC4605 85V operating voltage offers the engineer a margin to protect against Back Electromotive
Force (EMF), which is a voltage spike caused by the
rotation of the rotor. The Back EMF voltage amplitude
depends on the speed of the rotation. It is good practice
to have at least twice the HV voltage of the motor
supply; 85V is plenty of margin for 12V, 24V and 40V
motors.
The voltage on the bootstrap capacitor drops each time it
delivers charge to turn on the MOSFET. The voltage drop
depends on the gate charge required by the MOSFET.
Most MOSFET specifications specify gate charge versus
VGS voltage. Based on this information and a recommended ΔVHB of less than 0.1V, the minimum value of
bootstrap capacitance is calculated as:

The MIC4605 offers low UVLO threshold and programmable gate drive, which allows for longer operation
time in battery-operated motors, such as power hand
tools.
Cross conduction across the half bridge can cause
catastrophic failure in a motor application. Engineers
typically add dead time between states that switch
between high input and low input to ensure that the
low-side MOSFET completely turns off before the
high-side MOSFET turns on and vice versa. The dead
time depends on the MOSFET used in the application,
but 200 ns is typical for most motor applications.
Power Inverter
Power inverters are used to supply AC loads from a DC
operated battery system, mainly during power failure.
The battery voltage can be 12 VDC, 24 VDC or up to
36 VDC, depending on the power requirements. There
are two popular conversion methods: Type I and
Type II that convert the battery energy to AC line
voltage (110 VAC or 230 VAC).

FIGURE 7-11:
Type I Inverter Topology.
As shown in Figure 7-11, Type I is a dual stage topology,
where line voltage is converted to DC through a transformer to charge the storage batteries. When a power
failure is detected, the stored DC energy is converted to
AC through another transformer to drive the AC loads
connected to the inverter output. This method is simplest
to design, but tends to be bulky and expensive because
it uses two transformers.
Type II is a single-stage topology that uses only one
transformer to charge the bank of batteries to store the
energy. During a power outage, the same transformer
is used to power the line voltage. The Type II switches
at a higher frequency as compared to the Type I
topology to maintain a small transformer size.
Both types require a half-bridge or full-bridge topology
to boost the DC to AC. This application can use two
MIC4605s. The 85V operating voltage offers enough
margin to address all of the available banks of batteries
commonly used in inverter applications. The 85V operating voltage allows designers to increase the bank of
batteries up to 72V, if desired. The MIC4605 can sink
as much as 1A, which is enough current to overcome
the MOSFET’s input capacitance and switch the
MOSFET up to 50 kHz. This makes the MIC4605 an
ideal solution for inverter applications.

As with all half-bridge and full-bridge topologies, cross
conduction is a concern to inverter manufacturers
because it can cause catastrophic failure. This can be
remedied by adding the appropriate dead time between
transitioning from the high-side MOSFET to the
low-side MOSFET and vice versa.
7.12
LOW-SIDE DRIVE TURN-ON
CURRENT PATH
Figure 7-12 shows the critical current paths when the
driver outputs go high and turn on the external
MOSFETs. It also helps demonstrate the need for a
low-impedance ground plane. Charge needed to turn
on the MOSFET gates comes from the decoupling
capacitors, CVDD and CB. Current in the low-side gate
driver flows from CVDD through the internal driver, into
the MOSFET gate, and out the source. The return connection back to the decoupling capacitor is made
through the ground plane. Any inductance or resistance in the ground return path causes a voltage spike
or ringing to appear on the source of the MOSFET. This
voltage works against the gate drive voltage and can
either slow down or turn off the MOSFET during the
period when it should be turned on.
Current in the high-side driver is sourced from capacitor CB and flows into the HB pin and out the HO pin, into
the gate of the high-side MOSFET. The return path for
the current is from the source of the MOSFET and back
to capacitor CB. The high-side circuit return path
usually does not have a low-impedance ground plane,
so the etch connections in this critical path should be
short and wide to minimize parasitic inductance. As
with the low-side circuit, impedance between the
MOSFET source and the decoupling capacitor causes
negative voltage feedback that fights the turn-on of the
MOSFET.

Grounding, Component
Placement and Circuit Layout
Nanosecond switching speeds and ampere peak currents in and around the MIC4605 drivers require proper
placement and trace routing of all components. Improper
placement may cause degraded noise immunity, false
switching, excessive ringing or circuit latch-up.

Turn-On Current Paths.
Figure 7-13 shows the critical current paths when the
driver outputs go low and turn off the external
MOSFETs. Short, low-impedance connections are
important during turn-off for the same reasons given in
the turn-on explanation. Current flowing through the
internal diode replenishes charge in the bootstrap
capacitor, CB.

It is important to note that capacitor CB must be placed
close to the HB and HS pins. This capacitor not only
provides all the energy for turn-on, but it must also keep
HB pin noise and ripple low for proper operation of the
high-side drive circuitry.

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Use the following layout guidelines for optimum circuit
performance:
• Use a ground plane to minimize parasitic
inductance and impedance of the return paths.
The MIC4605 is capable of greater than 1A peak
currents and any impedance between the
MIC4605, the decoupling capacitors and the
external MOSFET will degrade the performance
of the driver.
A typical layout of a synchronous buck converter power
stage is shown in Figure 7-14.
The high-side MOSFET drain connects to the input
supply voltage (drain) and the source connects to the
switching node. The low-side MOSFET drain connects

to the switching node and its source is connected to
ground. The buck converter output inductor (not
shown) connects to the switching node. The high-side
drive trace, HO, is routed on top of its return trace, HS,
to minimize loop area and parasitic inductance. The
low-side drive trace LO is routed over the ground plane
to minimize the impedance of that current path. The
decoupling capacitors, CB and CVDD, are placed to
minimize etch length between the capacitors and their
respective pins. This close placement is necessary to
efficiently charge capacitor CB when the HS node is
low. All traces are 0.025 in. wide or greater to reduce
impedance. CIN is used to decouple the high-current
path through the MOSFETs.
