MARKING DIAGRAM
M
The NCP51100 2 A gate driver is designed to drive an N−Channel
enhancement−mode MOSFET in low −side switching applications by
providing high peak current pulses during the short switching
intervals. The driver is available with TTL input thresholds. Internal
circuitry provides an under−voltage lockout function by holding
the output LOW until the supply voltage is within the operating range.
The NCP51100 delivers fast MOSFET switching performance, which
helps maximize efficiency in high frequency power converter designs.
NCP51100 drivers incorporate MillerDrivet architecture for the final
output stage. This bipolar−MOSFET combination provides high peak
current during the Miller plateau stage of the MOSFET
turn−on / turn−off process to minimize switching loss, while
providing rail−to−rail voltage swing and reverse current capability.
The NCP51100 is available in industry standard, 5−pin, SOT23.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
VDD
Input Thresholds
The NCP51100 offers TTL input thresholds which meet
industry−standard TTL logic thresholds, independent of the
VDD voltage and there is a hysteresis voltage of
approximately 0.4 V. These levels permit the inputs to be
driven from a range of input logic signal levels for which a
voltage over 2 V is considered logic HIGH. The driving
signal for the TTL inputs should have fast rising and falling
edges with a slew rate of 6 V/ms or faster, so a rise time from
0 V to 3.3 V should be 550 ns or less. With reduced slew rate,
circuit noise could cause the driver input voltage to exceed
the hysteresis voltage and retrigger the driver input, causing
erratic operation.

stage
VOUT
Figure 24. MillerDrivet Output Architecture
Under−Voltage Lockout
The NCP51100 start−up logic is optimized to drive
ground referenced N−channel MOSFETs with a
under−voltage lockout (UVLO) function to ensure that the
IC starts up in an orderly fashion. When VDD is rising, yet
below the 10 V operational level, this circuit holds the
output LOW, regardless of the status of the input pins. After
the part is active, the supply voltage must drop 1 V before the
part shuts down. This hysteresis helps prevent chatter when
low VDD supply voltages have noise from the power
switching. This configuration is not suitable for driving
high−side P−channel MOSFETs because the low output
voltage of the driver would turn the P−channel MOSFET on
with VDD below 10 V.
Static Supply Current
In these cases, the actual static IDD current is the value
obtained from the curves plus this additional current. In the
IDD (static) typical performance characteristics shown in
Figure 4 and Figure 5, each curve is produced with both
inputs floating and both outputs LOW to indicate the lowest
static IDD current. For other states, additional current flows
through the 100 kW resistors on the inputs and outputs
shown in the block diagram of each part (see Figure 1). In
these cases, the actual static IDD current is the value
obtained from the curves plus this additional current.
MillerDrivet Gate Drive Technology
NCP51100 drivers incorporate the MillerDrive
architecture shown in Figure 24 for the output stage, a
combination of bipolar and MOS devices capable of
providing large currents over a wide range of supply voltage
and temperature variations. The bipolar devices carry the
bulk of the current as OUT swings between 1/3 to 2/3 VDD
and the MOS devices pull the output to the high or low rail.
The purpose of the MillerDrive architecture is to speed up
switching by providing the highest current during the Miller
plateau region when the gate−drain capacitance of the
MOSFET is being charged or discharged as part of the
turn−on / turn−off process. For applications that have zero
voltage switching during the MOSFET turn−on or turn−off
interval, the driver supplies high peak current for fast
switching even though the Miller plateau is not present. This
situation often occurs in synchronous rectifier applications
because the body diode is generally conducting before the
MOSFET is switched on.
The output pin slew rate is determined by VDD voltage and
the load on the output. It is not user adjustable, but if a slower
rise or fall time at the MOSFET gate is needed, a series
resistor can be added.
VDD Bypass Capacitor Guidelines
To enable this IC to turn a power device on quickly, a local,
high−frequency, bypass capacitor CBYP with low ESR and
ESL should be connected between the VDD and GND pins
with minimal trace length. This capacitor is in addition to
bulk electrolytic capacitance of 10 mF to 47 mF often found
on driver and controller bias circuits.
A typical criterion for choosing the value of CBYP is to
keep the ripple voltage on the VDD supply ≤5%. Often this
is achieved with a value ≥20 times the equivalent load
capacitance CEQV, defined here as Qgate/VDD. Ceramic
capacitors of 0.1 mF to 1 mF or larger are common choices,
as are dielectrics, such as X5R and X7R, which have good
temperature characteristics and high pulse current
capability.
If circuit noise affects normal operation, the value of CBYP
may be increased to 50−100 times the CEQV, or CBYP may
be split into two capacitors. One should be a larger value,
based on equivalent load capacitance, and the other a smaller
value, such as 1−10 nF, mounted closest to the VDD and
GND pins to carry the higher−frequency components of the
current pulses.

NCP51100
Layout and Connection Guidelines
VDD
The NCP51100 incorporates fast−reacting input circuits,
short propagation delays, and powerful output stages
capable of delivering current peaks over 2 A to facilitate
voltage transition times from under 10 ns to over 100 ns.
The following layout and connection guidelines are strongly
recommended:
• Keep high−current output and power ground paths
separate from logic input signals and signal ground
paths. This is especially critical when dealing with
TTL−level logic thresholds.
• Keep the driver as close to the load as possible to
minimize the length of high−current traces. This
reduces the series inductance to improve high−speed
switching, while reducing the loop area that can radiate
EMI to the driver inputs and other surrounding
circuitry.
• Many high−speed power circuits can be susceptible to
noise injected from their own output or other external
sources, possibly causing output re−triggering. These
effects can be especially obvious if the circuit is tested
in breadboard or non−optimal circuit layouts with long
input, enable, or output leads. For best results, make
connections to all pins as short and direct as possible.
• The turn−on and turn−off current paths should be
minimized as discussed in the following sections.
Figure 25 shows the pulsed gate drive current path when
the gate driver is supplying gate charge to turn the MOSFET
on. The current is supplied from the local bypass capacitor,
CBYP, and flows through the driver to the MOSFET gate and
to ground. To reach the high peak currents possible, the
resistance and inductance in the path should be minimized.
The localized CBYP acts to contain the high peak current
pulses within this driver−MOSFET circuit, preventing them
from disturbing the sensitive analog circuitry in the PWM
controller.

At power up, the driver output remains LOW until the
VDD voltage reaches the turn−on threshold. The magnitude
of the OUT pulses rises with VDD until steady−state VDD is
reached. The non−inverting operation illustrated in
Figure 27 shows that the output remains LOW until the
UVLO threshold is reached, then the output is in−phase with
the input.

Thermal Guidelines
Gate drivers used to switch MOSFETs and IGBTs at high
frequencies can dissipate significant amounts of power. It is
important to determine the driver power dissipation and the
resulting junction temperature in the application to ensure
that the part is operating within acceptable temperature
limits.
The total power dissipation in a gate driver is the sum of
three components; PGATE, PQUIESCENT, and PDYNAMIC:

Gate Driving Loss: The most significant power loss
results from supplying gate current (charge per unit time) to
switch the load MOSFET on and off at the switching
frequency. The power dissipation that results from driving
a MOSFET at a specified gate−source voltage, VGS, with
Figure 26 shows the current path when the gate driver
turns the MOSFET off. Ideally, the driver shunts the current
directly to the source of the MOSFET in a small circuit loop.
For fast turn−off times, the resistance and inductance in this
path should be minimized.

gate charge, QG, at switching frequency, fSW, is determined
by:
P GATE + Q G @ V GS @ f SW
The power dissipated in a gate−drive circuit is
independent of the drive−circuit resistance and is split
proportionately among the resistances present in the driver,
any discrete series resistor present, and the gate resistance
internal to the power switching MOSFET. Power dissipated
in the driver may be estimated using the following equation:
(eq. 2)
Dynamic Pre−drive / Shoot−through Current: A power
loss resulting from internal current consumption under
dynamic operating conditions, including pin pull−up /
pull−down resistors, can be obtained using the graphs in
Figure 6 and Figure 7 in Typical Performance
