SM74104 High Voltage Half-Bridge Gate Driver with Adaptive Delay
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The SM74104 High Voltage Gate Driver is designed
to drive both the high side and the low side NChannel MOSFETs in a synchronous buck
configuration. The floating high-side driver is capable
of working with supply voltages up to 100V. The high
side and low side gate drivers are controlled from a
single input. Each change in state is controlled in an
adaptive manner to prevent shoot-through issues. In
addition to the adaptive transition timing, an additional
delay time can be added, proportional to an external
setting resistor. An integrated high voltage diode is
provided to charge the 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. Under-voltage lockout is
provided on both the low side and the high side
power rails.

13 Detailed Description
13.1 Overview
SM74104 is a high voltage, high speed, dual output driver designed to drive top and bottom MOSFETs
connected in synchronous buck or half-bridge configuration. SM74104 also features adaptive delay to prevent
shoot-through current through top and bottom MOSFETs during switching transitions. The outputs that drive the
top and bottom MOSFETs are controlled by one externally provided PWM signal.

13.3 Feature Description
13.3.1 PWM Input Control
Referring to the timing diagram in Figure 16, the rising edge of the PWM input (IN) turns off the bottom MOSFET
(LO) after a short propagation delay (tP). An adaptive circuit in the SM74104 monitors the bottom gate voltage
(LO) and triggers a programmable delay generator when the LO pin falls below an internally set threshold (≈
Vdd/2). The gate drive of the upper MOSFET (HO) is disabled until the deadtime expires. The upper gate is
enabled after the TIMER delay (tP+TRT), and the upper MOSFET turns-on. The additional delay of the timer
prevents lower and upper MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously, thereby preventing shoot-through.

Figure 16. Application Timing Waveforms
A falling transition on the PWM signal (IN) initiates the turn-off of the upper MOSFET and turn-on of the lower
MOSFET. A short propagation delay (tP) is encountered before the upper gate voltage begins to fall. Again, the
adaptive shoot-through circuitry and the programmable deadtime TIMER delays the lower gate turn-on time. The
upper MOSFET gate voltage is monitored and the deadtime delay generator is triggered when the upper
MOSFET gate voltage with respect to ground drops below an internally set threshold (≈ Vdd/2). The lower gate
drive is momentarily disabled by the timer and turns on the lower MOSFET after the deadtime delay expires
(tP+TRT).
13.3.2 Setting the Delay Timer with RT
The RT pin is biased at 3V and current limited to 1mA. It is designed to accommodate a resistor between 5K and
100K, resulting in an effective dead-time proportional to RT and ranging from 90ns to 200ns. RT values below 5K
will saturate the timer and are not recommended.

13.4 Device Functional Modes
13.4.1 Startup and UVLO
Both top and bottom drivers include under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protection circuitry which monitors the supply
voltage (VDD) and bootstrap capacitor voltage (VHB – VHS) independently. The UVLO circuit inhibits each driver
until sufficient supply voltage is available to turn-on the external MOSFETs, and the built-in hysteresis prevents
chattering during supply voltage transitions. When the supply voltage is applied to VDD pin of SM74104, the top
and bottom gates are held low until VDD exceeds UVLO threshold, typically about 6.9V. Any UVLO condition on
the bootstrap capacitor will disable only the high side output (HO).
13.5 Power Dissipation Considerations
The total IC power dissipation is the sum of the gate driver losses and the bootstrap diode losses. The gate
driver losses are related to the switching frequency (f), output load capacitance on LO and HO (CL), and supply
voltage (VDD) and can be roughly calculated as:

There are some additional losses in the gate drivers due to the internal CMOS stages used to buffer the LO and
HO outputs. The following plot shows the measured gate driver power dissipation versus frequency and load
capacitance. At higher frequencies and load capacitance values, the power dissipation is dominated by the
power losses driving the output loads and agrees well with the above equation. This plot can be used to
approximate the power losses due to the gate drivers.

The bootstrap diode power loss is the sum of the forward bias power loss that occurs while charging the
bootstrap capacitor and the reverse bias power loss that occurs during reverse recovery. Since each of these
events happens once per cycle, the diode power loss is proportional to frequency. Larger capacitive loads
require more current to recharge the bootstrap capacitor resulting in more losses. Higher input voltages (VIN) to
the half bridge result in higher reverse recovery losses. The following plot was generated based on calculations
and lab measurements of the diode recovery time and current under several operating conditions. This can be
useful for approximating the diode power dissipation.

The total IC power dissipation can be estimated from the above plots by summing the gate drive losses with the
bootstrap diode losses for the intended application. Because the diode losses can be significant, an external
diode placed in parallel with the internal bootstrap diode (refer to Figure 20) can be helpful in removing power
from the IC. For this to be effective, the external diode must be placed close to the IC to minimize series
inductance and have a significantly lower forward voltage drop than the internal diode.

14 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.
14.1 Application Information
The SM74104 can drive both a high-side and a low-side MOSFET using only one PWM input control signal. The
internal level shifter provides a means for the control input to drive the high-side MOSFET. The SM74104
prevents shoot-through issues through adaptive transition timing and an additional time delay can be added by
use of an external resistor at the RT pin.
14.2 Typical Application
The SM74104 is used to drive MOSFETs connected in a synchronous buck configuration as shown in Figure 20.
A single control signal from an external PWM controller provides the control input to drive both the high-side and
low-side MOSFET. The HO and LO outputs of the SM74104 can provide very fast switching of the MOSFETs,
thereby reducing switching losses and improving the overall efficiency of the system.

14.2.1 Design Requirements
The RT resistor should be sized such that the appropriate time delay is added between the switching transitions
of the top and bottom MOSFETs. The exact RT value will depend on the selected MOSFETs, their switching
speeds, and the desired delay time needed to prevent shoot-through. An optional external fast recovery diode
should be placed between the VDD and HB pins to minimize the stress on the internal bootstrap diode and
decrease the average power dissipation in the IC. An RGATE resistor and a parallel diode may also be placed in
the path of the MOSFET gates. The RGATE resistor will decrease the ON switching speed of the MOSFET and
can help damp possible oscillations on the line. The parallel diode will provide a current path around RGATE
during the OFF switching of the MOSFET, which can ensure fast shut off of the MOSFET to further prevent
shoot-through.

14.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
See Power Supply Recommendations, Layout, and Power Dissipation Considerations for key design
considerations regarding the input supply, grounding, component placement, and power calculations specific to
the SM74104.
14.2.3 Application Curve
An adaptive circuit in the SM74104 monitors the gate voltages of the top and bottom MOSFETs and triggers a
programmable delay generator to prevent both MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously. The timer delay, TRT,
can be programmed with a resistor placed between RT and VSS. The value of TRT will vary with the RT resistor
value as shown in Figure 21.

15 Power Supply Recommendations
A low ESR/ESL capacitor must be connected as close as possible to the IC between VDD and VSS pins and
between HB and HS pins to support high peak currents being drawn from VDD during turn-on of the external
MOSFET. Also, to prevent large voltage transients at the drain of the top MOSFET, a low ESR electrolytic
capacitor must be connected between MOSFET drain and ground (VSS). In both cases, the traces should be as
short as possible to reduce the series resistance.
16 Layout
16.1 Layout Guidelines
The 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. In order to avoid large negative transients on the switch node (HS) pin, the parasitic inductances in the
source of top MOSFET and in the drain of the bottom MOSFET (synchronous rectifier) must be minimized.
2. Grounding considerations:
– The first priority in designing grounding connections is to confine the high peak currents from charging
and discharging the MOSFET gate in a minimal physical area. This will decrease the loop inductance and
minimize noise issues on the gate terminal of the MOSFET. The MOSFETs should be placed as close as
possible to the gate driver.
– The second high current path includes the bootstrap capacitor, the bootstrap diode, the local ground
referenced bypass capacitor and 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.
3. The resistor on the RT pin must be placed very close to the IC and separated from high current paths to
avoid noise coupling to the time delay generator which could disrupt timer operation.
