MIC5013
Protected High- or Low-Side MOSFET Driver
General Description
Features
The MIC5013 is an 8-pin MOSFET driver with over-current
shutdown and a fault flag. It is designed to drive the gate of
an N-channel power MOSFET above the supply rail high-side
power switch applications. The MIC5013 is compatible with
standard or current-sensing power MOSFETs in both highand low-side driver topologies.
The MIC5013 charges a 1nF load in 60µs typical and protects
the MOSFET from over-current conditions. The current sense
trip point is fully programmable and a dynamic threshold
allows high in-rush current loads to be started. A fault pin
indicates when the MIC5013 has turned off the FET due to
excessive current.
Other members of the Micrel driver family include the MIC5011
minimum parts count driver and MIC5012 dual driver.

Pin Function
Resets current sense latch and turns on power MOSFET when taken above
threshold (3.5V typical). Pin 1 requires 25ms), the bootstrap
capacitor will discharge and the MIC5013 supply pin will
fall to V+ = VDD –1.4. Under this condition pins 3 and 4 will
be held above V+ and may false trigger the over-current
circuit. A larger capacitor will lengthen the maximum “on”
time; 1000µF will hold the circuit up for 2.5 seconds, but
requires more charge time when the circuit is turned off.
The optional Schottky barrier diode improves turn-on time
on supplies of less than 10V.

Applications Information (Continued)
Since the supply current in the “OFF” state is only a small
leakage, the 100nF bypass capacitor tends to remain
charged for several seconds after the MIC5013 is turned
off. In a PWM application the chip supply is actually much
higher than the system supply, which improves switching
time.
Electronic Circuit Breaker (Figure 7). The MIC5013 forms
the basis of a high-performance, fast-acting circuit breaker.
By adding feedback from FAULT to INPUT the breaker can
be made to automatically reset. If an over-current condition
occurs, the circuit breaker shuts off. The breaker tests the
load every 18ms until the short is removed, at which time
the circuit latches ON. No reset button is necessary.
Opto-Isolated Interface (Figure 8). Although the MIC5013
has no special input slew rate requirement, the lethargic
transitions provided by an opto-isolator may cause oscillations on the rise and fall of the output. The circuit shown
accelerates the input transitions from a 4N35 opto-isolator
by adding hysteresis. Opto-isolators are used where the
control circuitry cannot share a common ground with the
MIC5013 and high-current power supply, or where the
control circuitry is located remotely. This implementation is
intrinsically safe; if the control line is severed the MIC5013
will turn OFF.
Fault-Protected Industrial Switch (Figure 9). The most
common manual control for industrial loads is a push button on/off switch. The “on” button is physically arranged in
a recess so that in a panic situation the “off” button, which
extends out from the control box, is more easily pressed.
This circuit is compatible with control boxes such as the
CR2943 series (GE). The circuit is configured so that if
both switches close simultaneously, the “off” button has
precedence. If there is a fault condition the circuit will latch
off, and it can be reset by pushing the “ON” button.
This application also illustrates how two (or more) MOSFETs can be paralleled. This reduces the switch drop, and
distributes the switch dissipation into multiple packages.
High-Voltage Bootstrap (Figure 10). Although the MIC5013
is limited to operation on 7 to 32V supplies, a floating bootstrap arrangement can be used to build a high-side switch
that operates on much higher voltages. The MIC5013 and
MOSFET are configured as a low-side driver, but the load is
connected in series with ground. The high speed normally
associated with low-side drivers is retained in this circuit.
Power for the MIC5013 is supplied by a charge pump. A
20kHz square wave (15Vp-p) drives the pump capacitor
and delivers current to a 100µF storage capacitor. A zener
diode limits the supply to 18V. When the MIC5013 is off,
power is supplied by a diode connected to a 15V supply. The
circuit of Figure 8 is put to good use as a barrier between
low voltage control circuitry and the 90V motor supply.
Half-Bridge Motor Driver (Figure 11). Closed loop control
of motor speed requires a half-bridge driver. This topology
presents an extra challenge since the two output devices
should not cross conduct (shoot-through) when switching.
Cross conduction increases output device power dissipation
and, in the case of the MIC5013, could trip the over-current
comparator. Speed is also important, since PWM control
requires the outputs to switch in the 2 to 20kHz range.
The circuit of Figure 11 utilizes fast configurations for both
the top- and bottom-side drivers. Delay networks at each
input provide a 2 to 3µs dead time effectively eliminating
cross conduction. Both the top- and bottom-side drivers
are protected, so the output can be shorted to either rail
without damage.

Applications Information (Continued)
The top-side driver is based on the bootstrapped circuit of
Figure 6, and cannot be switched on indefinitely. The bootstrap capacitor (1µF) relies on being pulled to ground by the
bottom-side output to recharge. This limits the maximum
duty cycle to slightly less than 100%.
Two of these circuits can be connected together to form
an H-bridge. If the H-bridge is used for locked antiphase
control, no special considerations are necessary. In the case
of sign/magnitude control, the “sign” leg of the H-bridge
should be held low (PWM input held low) while the other
leg is driven by the magnitude signal.
If current feedback is required for torque control, it is available in chopped form at the bottom-side driver's 22 mΩ
current-sensing resistor.
Time-Delay Relay (Figure 12). The MIC5013 forms the
basis of a simple time-delay relay. As shown, the delay
commences when power is applied, but the 100 kΩ/1N4148
could be independently driven from an external source such
as a switch or another high-side driver to give a delay relative to some other event in the system.
Hysteresis has been added to guarantee clean switching
at turn-on. Note that an over-current condition latches the
relay in a safe, OFF condition. Operation is restored by
either cycling power or by momentarily shorting pin 1 to
ground.
Motor Driver with Stall Shutdown (Figure 13). Tachometer
feedback can be used to shut down a motor driver circuit
when a stall condition occurs. The control switch is a 3-way
type; the “START” position is momentary and forces the
driver ON. When released, the switch returns to the “RUN”
position, and the tachometer’s output is used to hold the
MIC5013 input ON. If the motor slows down, the tach output
is reduced, and the MIC5013 switches OFF. Resistor “R”
sets the shutdown threshold. If the output current exceeds
30A, the MIC5013 shuts down and remains in that condition
until the momentary “RESET” button is pushed. Control is
then returned to the START/RUN/STOP switch.

Q5. For the second phase Q4 turns off and Q3 turns on,
pushing pin C2 above supply (charge is dumped into the
gate). Q3 also charges C1. On the third phase Q2 turns
off and Q1 turns on, pushing the common point of the two
capacitors above supply. Some of the charge in C1 makes
its way to the gate. The sequence is repeated by turning
Q2 and Q4 back on, and Q1 and Q3 off.
In a low-side application operating on a 12 to 15V supply,
the MOSFET is fully enhanced by the action of Q5 alone.
On supplies of more than approximately 14V, current flows
directly from Q5 through the zener diode to ground. To
prevent excessive current flow, the MIC5010 supply should
be limited to 15V in low-side applications.
The action of Q5 makes the MIC5013 operate quickly in
low-side applications. In high-side applications Q5 precharges the MOSFET gate to supply, leaving the charge
pump to carry the gate up to full enhancement 10V above
supply. Bootstrapped high-side drivers are as fast as lowside drivers since the chip supply is boosted well above
the drain at turn-on.
Gate Control Circuit
When applying the MIC5010, it is helpful to understand the
operation of the gate control circuitry (see Figure 14). The
gate circuitry can be divided into two sections: 1) charge
pump (oscillator, Q1-Q5, and the capacitors) and 2) gate
turn-off switch (Q6).
When the MIC5010 is in the OFF state, the oscillator is
turned off, thereby disabling the charge pump. Q5 is also
turned off, and Q6 is turned on. Q6 holds the gate pin (G)
at ground potential which effectively turns the external
MOSFET off.
Q6 is turned off when the MIC5013 is commanded on. Q5
pulls the gate up to supply (through 2 diodes). Next, the
charge pump begins supplying current to the gate. The
gate accepts charge until the gate-source voltage reaches
12.5V and is clamped by the zener diode.
A 2-output, three-phase clock switches Q1-Q4, providing a
quasi-tripling action. During the initial phase Q4 and Q2 are
ON. C1 is discharged, and C2 is charged to supply through
