The minimum pulse width is the shortest pulse width at which the specified timing parameter is guaranteed.
See the Power Dissipation section.
tDLH propagation delay is measured from the time of the input rising logic high threshold, VIH, to the output rising 10% threshold of the VOUT signal. tDHL propagation delay is
measured from the input falling logic low threshold, VIL, to the output falling 90% threshold of the VOUT signal. See Figure 22 for waveforms of propagation delay parameters.
4
tPSK is the magnitude of the worst case difference in tDLH and/or tDHL that is measured between units at the same operating temperature, supply voltages, and output
load within the recommended operating conditions. See Figure 22 for waveforms of propagation delay parameters.

Static common-mode transient immunity is defined as the largest dv/dt between VSS1 and VSS2 with inputs held either high or low such that the output voltage remains
either above 0.8 × VDD2 for output high, or 0.8 V for output low. Operation with transients above the recommended levels can cause momentary data upsets.
6
Dynamic common-mode transient immunity is defined as the largest dv/dt between VSS1 and VSS2 with the switching edge coincident with the transient test pulse.
Operation with transients above the recommended levels can cause momentary data upsets.

Input Supply Voltage on Primary Side, 2.5 V to 6 V. The supply that is connected to this pin must be referenced to VSS1.
Ground Reference for Primary Side.
CMOS Input. When a fault exists, bring this pin low to clear the fault. RESET has an internal 300 kΩ pull-down resistor.
Open-Drain Logic Output. Connect this pin to a pull-up resistor to read the signal. A low state on this pin indicates when
a desaturation fault has occurred. The presence of a fault condition precludes the gate drive output from going high.
Open-Drain Logic Output. Connect this pin to a pull-up resistor to read the signal. A high state on this pin indicates that
the device is functional and ready to operate as a gate driver. If READY is low, the gate drive output is precluded
from going high.
Ground Reference for Primary Side.
Negative Supply for Secondary Side, −15 V to 0 V. The supply that is connected to this pin must be referenced to GND2.
Negative Supply for Secondary Side, −15 V to 0 V. The supply that is connected to this pin must be referenced to GND2.
Gate Drive Output Current Path for the Device.
Secondary Side Input Supply Voltage, 12 V to 35 V. The supply that is connected to this pin must be referenced to GND2.
Secondary Side Input Supply Voltage, 12 V to 35 V. The supply that is connected to this pin must be referenced to GND2.
Detection of Desaturation Condition. Connect this pin to an external current source or a pull-up resistor. A fault on
this pin asserts a fault on the FAULT pin on the primary side. Until the fault is cleared on the primary side, the gate
drive is suspended. During a fault condition, a smaller turn-off FET slowly brings the gate voltage down.
Negative Supply for Secondary Side, −15 V to 0 V. The supply that is connected to this pin must be referenced to GND2.
Ground Reference for Secondary Side. Connect this pin to the emitter of the IGBT or the source of the MOSFET
being driven.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PCB LAYOUT
Desaturation Detection
The ADuM4136 IGBT gate driver requires no external interface
circuitry for the logic interfaces. Power supply bypassing is required
at the input and output supply pins. Use a small ceramic capacitor
with a value between 0.01 μF and 0.1 μF to provide a good high
frequency bypass. On the output power supply pin, VDD2, it is
recommended to add a 10 μF capacitor to provide the charge
required to drive the gate capacitance at the ADuM4136 outputs.
On the output supply pin, avoid the use of vias on the bypass
capacitor or employ multiple vias to reduce the inductance in
the bypassing. The total lead length between both ends of the
smaller capacitor and the input or output power supply pin
must not exceed 5 mm.
Occasionally, component failures or faults occur with the
circuitry connected to the IGBT connected to the ADuM4136.
Examples include shorts in the inductor/motor windings or
shorts to power/ground buses. The resulting excess in current
flow causes the IGBT to come out of saturation. To detect this
condition and to reduce the likelihood of damage to the FET, a
threshold circuit is used on the ADuM4136. If the DESAT pin
exceeds the typical desaturation threshold (VDESAT, TH) of 9.2 V
while the high-side driver is on, the ADuM4136 enters the
failure state and turns the IGBT off. At this time, the FAULT pin
is brought low. An internal current source of 537 μA (typical) is
provided, as well as the option to boost the charging current
using external current sources or pull-up resistors.
PROPAGATION DELAY RELATED PARAMETERS
Propagation delay describes the time required for a logic signal
to propagate through a component. The propagation delay to a low
output can differ from the propagation delay to a high output. The
ADuM4136 specifies tDLH as the time between the rising input
high logic threshold (VIH) to the output rising 10% threshold (see
Figure 22). Likewise, the falling propagation delay (tDHL) is defined
as the time between the input falling logic low threshold (VIL) and
the output falling 90% threshold. The rise and fall times are
dependent on the loading conditions and are not included in the
propagation delay, which is the industry standard for gate drivers.
The ADuM4136 has a built-in blanking time to prevent false
triggering while the IGBT first turns on. The time between
desaturation detection and reporting a desaturation fault to the
FAULT pin is less than 2 μs (tREPORT). Bring RESET low to clear
the fault. There is a 500 ns (minimum) debounce (tDEB_RESET) on the
RESET pin. The time, tDESAT_DELAY, shown in Figure 23, provides
approximately 312 ns (typical) of masking time that keeps the
internal switch that grounds the blanking capacitor tied low
for the initial portion of the IGBT on time.
