LM5109A High Voltage 1A Peak Half Bridge Gate Driver
1 Features
3 Description
•
The LM5109A is a cost effective, high voltage gate
driver designed to drive both the high-side and the
low-side N-Channel MOSFETs in a synchronous
buck or a half bridge configuration. The floating highside driver is capable of working with rail voltages up
to 90V. The outputs are independently controlled with
TTL compatible input thresholds. The robust level
shift technology operates at high speed while
consuming low power and providing clean level
transitions from the control input logic to the high-side
gate driver. Under-voltage lockout is provided on both
the low-side and the high-side power rails. The
device is available in the SOIC and the thermally
enhanced WSON packages.

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under
which operation of the device is specified. Operating Ratings do not imply performance limits. For performance limits and associated test
conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
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.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM5109A is a cost-effective, high-voltage gate driver designed to drive both the high-side and the low-side
N-channel FETs in a synchronous buck or a half-bridge configuration. The outputs are independently controlled
with TTL compatible input thresholds. The floating high-side driver is capable of working with HB voltage up to
108 V. An external high-voltage diode must be provided to charge high-side gate drive bootstrap capacitor. A
robust level shifter operates at high speed while consuming low power and providing clean level transitions from
the control logic to the high-side gate driver. Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) is provided on both the low-side and
the high-side power rails.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Start-Up and UVLO
Both top and bottom drivers include UVLO protection circuitry which monitors the supply voltage (VDD) and
bootstrap capacitor voltage (VHB–HS) independently. The UVLO circuit inhibits the output until sufficient supply
voltage is available to turn on the external MOSFETs, and the built-in UVLO hysteresis prevents chattering
during supply voltage variations. When the supply voltage is applied to the VDD pin of the LM5109A, the top and
bottom gates are held low until VDD exceeds the UVLO threshold, typically about 6.7 V. Any UVLO condition on
the bootstrap capacitor (VHB–HS) will only disable the high-side output (HO).
7.3.2 Level Shift
The level shift circuit is the interface from the high-side input to the high-side driver stage which is referenced to
the switch node (HS). The level shift allows control of the HO output which is referenced to the HS pin and
provides excellent delay matching with the low-side driver.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.3 Output Stages
The output stages are the interface to the power MOSFETs in the power train. High slew rate, low resistance,
and high-peak current capability of both outputs allow for efficient switching of the power MOSFETs. The lowside output stage is referenced to VSS and the high-side is referenced to HS.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
The device operates in normal mode and UVLO mode. See Start-Up and UVLO for more information on UVLO
operation mode. In normal mode when the VDD and VHB–HS are above UVLO threshold, the output stage is
dependent on the states of the HI and LI pins. The output HO and LO will be low if input state is floating.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
To operate power MOSFETs at high switching frequencies and to reduce associated switching losses, a powerful
gate driver is employed between the PWM output of controller and the gates of the power semiconductor
devices. Also, gate drivers are indispensable when it is impossible for the PWM controller to directly drive the
gates of the switching devices. With the advent of digital power, this situation is often encountered because the
PWM signal from the digital controller is often a 3.3-V logic signal which cannot effectively turn on a power
switch. Level shift circuit is needed to boost the 3.3-V signal to the gate-drive voltage (such as 12 V) to fully turn
on the power device and minimize conduction losses. Traditional buffer drive circuits based on NPN and PNP
bipolar transistors in totem-pole arrangement prove inadequate with digital power because they lack level-shifting
capability. Gate drivers effectively combine both the level-shifting and buffer-drive functions. Gate drivers also
find other needs such as minimizing the effect of high-frequency switching noise (by placing the high-current
driver IC physically close to the power switch), driving gate-drive transformers and controlling floating powerdevice gates, reducing power dissipation and thermal stress in controllers by moving gate charge power losses
from the controller into the driver.
The LM5109A is the high-voltage gate drivers designed to drive both the high-side and low-side N-channel
MOSFETs in a half-bridge configuration, full-bridge configuration, or in a synchronous buck circuit. The floating
high-side driver is capable of operating with supply voltages up to 90 V. This allows for N-channel MOSFETs
control in half-bridge, full-bridge, push-pull, two-switch forward and active clamp topologies. The outputs are
independently controlled. Each channel is controlled by its respective input pins (HI and LI), allowing full and
independent flexibility to control ON and OFF-time of the output.
8.1.1 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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Low ESR bypass capacitors from HB to HS and from VDD 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 series inductances with the bypass capacitor will cause voltage ringing at the
leads of the IC which must be avoided for reliable operation.

Therefore, the minimum CBoot must be:

(3)
In practice, the value of the CBoot capacitor must be greater than calculated to allow for situations where the
power stage may skip pulse due to load transients. TI recommends having enough margins and place the
bootstrap capacitor as close to the HB and HS pins as possible.
CBoot = 100 nF
(4)
As a general rule the local VDD bypass capacitor must be 10 times greater than the value of CBoot, as shown in
Equation 5.
CVDD = 1 µF
(5)
The bootstrap and bias capacitors must be ceramic types with X7R dielectric. The voltage rating must be twice
that of the maximum VDD considering capacitance tolerances once the devices have a DC bias voltage across
them and to ensure long-term reliability.
8.2.2.2 Select External Bootstrap Diode and Its Series Resistor
The bootstrap capacitor is charged by the VDD through the external bootstrap diode every cycle when low-side
MOSFET turns on. The charging of the capacitor involves high peak currents, and therefore transient power
dissipation in the bootstrap diode may be significant and the conduction loss also depends on its forward voltage
drop. Both the diode conduction losses and reverse recovery losses contribute to the total losses in the gate
driver circuit.
For the selection of external bootstrap diodes, see AN-1317 Selection of External Bootstrap Diode for LM510X
Devices (SNVSA083). Bootstrap resistor RBOOT is selected to reduce the inrush current in DBOOT and limit the
ramp up slew rate of voltage of VHB-HS during each switching cycle, especially when HS pin have excessive
negative transient voltage. RBOOT recommended value is between 2 Ω and 10 Ω depending on diode selection. A
current limiting resistor of 2.2 Ω is selected to limit inrush current of bootstrap diode, and the estimated peak
current on the DBoot is shown in Equation 6.

8.2.2.4 Estimate the Driver Power Loss
The total driver IC power dissipation can be estimated through the following components.
1. Static power losses, PQC, due to quiescent current – IDD and IHB
PQC = VDD × IDD + (VDD – VDH) × IHB
(11)

The testing condition: load capacitance is 1 nF, VDD = 12 V, fSW = 500 kHz.
HI and LI share one same input from function generator, therefore, besides the propagation delay and rising and
falling time, the difference of the propagation delay between HO and LO gives the propagation delay matching
data.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The recommended bias supply voltage range for LM5109A is from 8 V to 14 V. The lower end of this range is
governed by the internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection feature of the VDD supply circuit blocks. The
upper end of this range is driven by the 18-V absolute maximum voltage rating of the VDD. TI recommends
keeping a 4-V margin to allow for transient voltage spikes.
The UVLO protection feature also involves a hysteresis function. This means that once the device is operating in
normal mode, if the VDD voltage drops, the device continues to operate in normal mode as long as the voltage
drop does not exceed the hysteresis specification, VDDH. If the voltage drop is more than hysteresis specification,
the device shuts down. Therefore, while operating at or near the 8-V range, the voltage ripple on the auxiliary
power supply output must be smaller than the hysteresis specification of LM5109A to avoid triggering deviceshutdown.
A local bypass capacitor must be placed between the VDD and GND pins. And this capacitor must be located as
close to the device as possible. A low-ESR, ceramic surface mount capacitor is recommended. TI recommends
using 2 capacitors across VDD and GND: a 100-nF, ceramic surface-mount capacitor for high-frequency filtering
placed very close to VDD and GND pin, and another surface-mount capacitor, 220-nF to 10-µF, for IC bias
requirements. In a similar manner, the current pulses delivered by the HO pin are sourced from the HB pin.
Therefore a 22-nF to 220-nF local decoupling capacitor is recommended between the HB and HS pins.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
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 top MOSFET source and the of the bottom MOSFET drain (synchronous rectifier) must be minimized.
4. Grounding considerations:
– 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.
– 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 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.
