LM5111 Dual 5-A Compound Gate Driver
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The LM5111 Dual Gate Driver replaces industry
standard gate drivers with improved peak output
current and efficiency. Each compound output driver
stage includes MOS and bipolar transistors operating
in parallel that together sink more than 5-A peak from
capacitive
loads.
Combining
the
unique
characteristics of MOS and bipolar devices reduces
drive current variation with voltage and temperature.
Undervoltage lockout protection is also provided. The
drivers can be operated in parallel with inputs and
outputs connected to double the drive current
capability. This device is available in the SOIC
package or the thermally enhanced MSOPPowerPAD package.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
LM5111 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
LM5111 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.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit is included in the LM5111, which senses the voltage difference between
VCC and the chip ground pin, VEE. When the VCC to VEE voltage difference falls below 2.8 V both driver channels
are disabled. The UVLO hysteresis prevents chattering during brown-out conditions and the driver resumes
normal operation when the VCC to VEE differential voltage exceeds approximately 3 V.
The LM5111-1, -2, and -3 devices hold both outputs in the low state in the UVLO condition. The LM5111-4 is
distinguished from the LM5111-3 by the active high output state of OUT_A during UVLO. When VCC is less than
the UVLO threshold voltage, OUT_A of the LM5111-4 will be locked in the high state while OUT_B will be
disabled in the low state. This configuration allows the LM5111-4 to drive a PFET through OUT_A and an NFET
through OUT_B with both FETs safely turned off during UVLO.
8.3.2 Output Stage
The two driver channels of the LM5111 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 2× 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 LM5111 increases be less than 1% relative to the dual driver configuration when
operated as a single driver with inputs/ outputs connected.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
High-frequency power supplies often require high-speed, high-current drivers such as the LM5111 family. A
leading application is the need to provide a high-power buffer stage between the PWM output of the control IC
and the gates of the primary power MOSFET or IGBT switching devices. In other cases, the driver IC is used to
drive the power-device gates through a drive transformer. Synchronous rectification supplies are also needed to
simultaneously drive multiple devices which presents an extremely large load to the control circuitry.
Driver ICs are used when use of the primary PWM regulator IC to directly drive the switching devices for one or
more reasons is not feasible. The PWMIC does not have the brute drive capability required for the intended
switching MOSFET, limiting the switching performance in the application. In other cases, there may be a desire
to minimize the effect of high-frequency switching noise by placing the high current driver physically close to the
load. Also, newer ICs that target the highest operating frequencies do not incorporate onboard gate drivers at all.
Their PWM outputs are only intended to drive the high impedance input to a driver such as the UCCx732x.
Finally, the control IC is under thermal stress due to power dissipation, and an external driver helps by moving
the heat from the controller to an external package.

9.2.1 Design Requirements
To select the proper device from the LM5111 family, TI recommends first checking the appropriate logic for the
outputs. LM5111 has dual inverting outputs; dual noninverting outputs; inverting channel A and noninverting
channel B. Refer to operating modes to select which driver from the family is required in a given application.
Moreover, some design considerations must be evaluated first in order to make the most appropriate selection.
Among these considerations are VCC and power dissipation.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 VCC
Although quiescent VCC current is very low, total supply current will be higher, depending on OUTA and OUTB
current and the programmed oscillator frequency. Total VCC current is the sum of quiescent VCC current and the
average OUT current. Knowing the operating frequency and the MOSFET gate charge (Qg), average OUT
current can be calculated using Equation 1.
IOUT = Qg × f
where
•
f is frequency
(1)
For the best high-speed circuit performance, two VCC bypass capacitors are recommended to prevent noise
problems. The use of surface mount components is highly recommended. A 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor should be
located closest to the VDD to ground connection. In addition, a larger capacitor (such as 1 µF and above) with
relatively low ESR should be connected in parallel, to help deliver the high current peaks to the load. The parallel
combination of capacitors should present a low impedance characteristic for the expected current levels in the
driver application.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
10.1 Bias Supply Voltage
The recommended bias supply voltage range for LM5111 is from 3.5 V to 14 V. The upper end of this range is
driven by the 15-V absolute maximum voltage rating of the VCC. TI recommends keeping proper margin to allow
for transient voltage spikes. A local bypass capacitor must be placed between the VCC and VEE pins, and this
capacitor must be placed as close to the device as possible. TI recommends a low ESR, ceramic surface mount
capacitor. TI recommends using 2 capacitors across VCC and VEE: a 100-nF ceramic surface-mount capacitor
for high frequency filtering placed very close to VCC and VEE pin, and another surface-mount capacitor, 220 nF
to 10 µF, for IC bias requirements.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Attention must be given to board layout when using LM5111. Some important considerations include:
• 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 turnon of the MOSFET.
• 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 LM5111 VEE pin and the ground
of the circuit that controls the driver inputs, b) between LM5111 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 LM5111. A good method is to
dedicate one copper plane in a multi-layered PCB to provide a common ground surface.
• 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
LM5111.
• The LM5111 footprint is compatible with other industry standard drivers including the TC4426/27/28 and
UCC27323/4/5.
• 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.

11.3 Thermal Considerations
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.
11.3.1 Drive Power Requirement Calculations in LM5111
The LM5111 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.

Figure 16. Driver Output Stage and Load
The schematic above shows a conceptual diagram of the LM5111 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 coulombs. 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 × QG × FSW
where
•
FSW = switching frequency of the MOSFET
(2)
For example, consider the MOSFET MTD6N15 whose gate charge specified as 30 nC for VGATE = 12 V.
The power dissipation in the driver due to charging and discharging of MOSFET gate capacitances at switching
frequency of 300 kHz and VGATE of 12 V is equal to
PDRIVER = 12 V × 30 nC × 300 kHz = 0.108 W.
(3)
If both channels of the LM5111 are operating at equal frequency with equivalent loads, the total losses will be
twice as this value which is 0.216 W.
In addition to the above gate charge power dissipation, transient power is dissipated in the driver during output
transitions. When either output of the LM5111 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.
Characterization of the LM5111 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 12-V VGATE supply produce a 12-mW typical quiescent power.
Therefore the total power dissipation
PD = 0.216 + 0.008 + 0.012 = 0.236 W.
(4)
We know that the junction temperature is given by
TJ = PD × θJA + TA

Thermal Considerations (continued)
Or the rise in temperature is given by
TRISE = TJ − TA = PD × θJA
(6)
For SOIC package, θJA is estimated as 170°C/W for the conditions of natural convection. For MSOP-PowerPAD,
θJA is typically 60°C/W.
Therefore for SOIC TRISE is equal to
TRISE = 0.236 × 170 = 40.1°C
(7)
11.3.2 Continuous Current Rating of LM5111
The LM5111 can deliver pulsed source/sink currents of 3 A and 5 A to capacitive loads. In applications requiring
continuous load current (resistive or inductive loads), package power dissipation, limits the LM5111 current
capability far below the 5-A sink and 3-A 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 LM5111
(8)
Consider TJ(max) of 125°C and θJA of 170°C/W for an SO-8 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 LM5111 output at TJ(max) is 2.5
Ω, this equation yields ISINK(max) of 391 mA which is much smaller than 5-A 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 1.1 V at TJ(max) of 125°C
(9)
Assuming the same parameters as above, this equation yields ISOURCE(max) of 347 mA.
