Improved Bridge Controller with Precision Dead Time Control
The ISL6745A is a low-cost, double-ended, voltage-mode
PWM controller designed for half-bridge and full-bridge
power supplies and line-regulated bus converters. It
provides precise control of switching frequency, adjustable
soft-start, and overcurrent shutdown. In addition, the
ISL6745A allows for accurate adjustment of MOSFET
non-overlap time (“dead time”) with dead times as low as
35ns, allowing power engineers to optimize the efficiency
of open-loop bus converters. The ISL6745A also includes a
control voltage input for closed-loop PWM and line voltage
feed-forward functions. The ISL6745A is identical to the
ISL6745, but is optimized for higher noise environments.
Low start-up and operating currents allow for easy biasing
in both AC/DC and DC/DC applications. This advanced
BiCMOS design also features adjustable switching
frequency up to 1MHz, 1A FET drivers, and very low
propagation delays for a fast response to overcurrent faults.
The ISL6745A is available in a space-saving 10 Ld MSOP
package and is assured to meet rated specifications across a
wide -40°C to +105°C temperature range.

Pin Descriptions
Pin
Pin
Name Number
Description
SS
1
Connect the soft-start timing capacitor between this pin and GND to control the duration of soft-start. The value of the
capacitor determines the rate of increase of the duty cycle during start-up, controls the overcurrent shutdown delay, and
the overcurrent and short-circuit hiccup restart period.
RTD
2
Oscillator timing capacitor discharge current control pin. A resistor is connected between this pin and GND. The
current flowing through the resistor determines the magnitude of the discharge current. The discharge current is
nominally 55x this current. The PWM dead time is determined by the timing capacitor discharge duration.
VERR
3
Inverting input of the PWM comparator. The error voltage is applied to this pin to control the duty cycle. Increasing
the signal level increases the duty cycle. The node may be driven with an external error amplifier or an optocoupler.
CS
4
Input to the overcurrent protection comparator. The overcurrent comparator threshold is set at 0.600V nominal. The
CS pin is shorted to GND at the end of each switching cycle. Depending on the current sensing source impedance, a
series input resistor may be required due to the delay between the internal clock and the external power switch.
Exceeding the overcurrent threshold will start a delayed shutdown sequence. When an overcurrent condition is
detected, the soft-start charge current source is disabled. The soft-start capacitor begins discharging through a 15µA
current source, and if it discharges to less than 3.9V (Sustained Overcurrent Threshold), a shutdown condition
occurs and the OUTA and OUTB outputs are forced low. When the soft-start voltage reaches 0.27V (Reset
Threshold) a soft-start cycle begins.
If the overcurrent condition ceases, and then an additional 50µs period elapses before the shutdown threshold is
reached, no shutdown occurs. The SS charging current is re-enabled and the soft-start voltage is allowed to recover.
CT
5
The oscillator timing capacitor is connected between this pin and GND.
GND
6
Reference and power ground for all functions on this device. Due to high peak currents and high frequency
operation, a low impedance layout is necessary. Ground planes and short traces are highly recommended.
OUTA
7
Alternate half cycle output stages. Each output is capable of 1A peak currents for driving power MOSFETs or
MOSFET drivers. Each output provides very low impedance to overshoot and undershoot.
OUTB
8
VDDP
9
VDDP is the separate collector supply to the gate drive. Having a separate VDDP pin helps isolate the analog
circuitry from the high power gate drive noise.
VDD
10
VDD is the power connection for the IC. To optimize noise immunity, bypass VDD to GND with a ceramic capacitor as
close to the VDD and GND pins as possible.
The total supply current, IDD, will be dependent on the load applied to outputs OUTA and OUTB. Total IDD current is
the sum of the quiescent current and the average output current. Knowing the operating frequency, fSW, and the
output loading capacitance charge, Q, per output, the average output current can be calculated from (EQ. 1):
I OUT = 2 Q f SW

Features
The ISL6745A PWM is an excellent choice for low cost
bridge topologies for applications requiring accurate
frequency and dead time control. Among its many
features are 1A FET drivers, adjustable soft-start,
overcurrent protection, and internal thermal protection,
allowing a highly flexible design with minimal external
components.

where TC and TD are the approximate charge and
discharge times, respectively, TOSC is the oscillator free
running period, and FOSC is the oscillator frequency.
One output switching cycle requires two oscillator
cycles. The actual times will be slightly longer than
calculated due to internal propagation delays of
approximately 5ns/transition. This delay adds directly to
the switching duration, and also causes overshoot of the
timing capacitor peak and valley voltage thresholds,
effectively increasing the peak-to-peak voltage on the
The switching period may be considered to be the sum
of the timing capacitor charge and discharge durations.
The charge duration is determined by CT and the
internal current source (assumed to be 160µA in the
formula). The discharge duration is determined by RTD
and CT.

timing capacitor. Additionally, if very low charge and
discharge currents are used, there will be an increased
error due to the input impedance at the CT pin.
The above formulae help with the estimation of the
frequency. Practically, effects like stray capacitances that
affect the overall CT capacitance, variation in RTD
voltage and charge current over-temperature, etc. exist,
and are best evaluated in-circuit. (EQ. 2) follows from
the basic capacitor current equation.

In this case, with variation in dV with RTD (Figure 7 on

4. Functional Description
Soft-Start Operation
The ISL6745A features a soft-start using an external
capacitor in conjunction with an internal current source.
Soft-start reduces stresses and surge currents during
start-up.
4.7
Ground Plane Requirements
Careful layout is essential for satisfactory operation of
the device. A good ground plane must be employed.
VDD should be bypassed directly to GND with good
high-frequency capacitance.
The oscillator capacitor signal, CT, is compared to the
soft-start voltage, SS, in the SS comparator which drives
the PWM latch. While the SS voltage is less than 3.5V,
duty cycle is limited. The output pulse width increases
as the soft-start capacitor voltage increases up to 3.5V.
This has the effect of increasing the duty cycle from zero
to the maximum pulse width during the soft-start period.
When the soft-start voltage exceeds 3.5V, soft-start is
completed. Soft-start occurs during start-up and after
recovery from an overcurrent shutdown. The soft-start
voltage is clamped to 4V.
Please note the capacitance of the soft-start capacitor,
CSS. If CSS ≥ 0.1µF, the user will need to add a resistor
in series with the capacitor, 100Ω/µF (100Ω at least; 1k
at most).
4.4
Gate Drive
The ISL6745A is capable of sourcing and sinking 1A
peak current, and may also be used in conjunction with a
MOSFET driver such as the ISL6700 for level shifting.
To limit the peak current through the IC, an external
resistor may be placed between the totem-pole output of
the IC (OUTA or OUTB pin) and the gate of the
MOSFET. This small series resistor also damps any
oscillations caused by the resonant tank of the parasitic
inductances in the traces of the board and the FET’s
input capacitance.
4.5
Overcurrent Operation
Overcurrent delayed shutdown is enabled once the softstart cycle is complete. If an overcurrent condition is
detected, the soft-start charging current source is
disabled and the soft-start capacitor is allowed to
discharge through a 15µA source. At the same time a
50µs retriggerable one-shot timer is activated. It remains
active for 50µs after the overcurrent condition ceases. If
the soft-start capacitor discharges to 3.9V, the output is
disabled. This state continues until the soft-start voltage
reaches 270mV, at which time a new soft-start cycle is
initiated. If the overcurrent condition stops at least 50µs
prior to the soft-start voltage reaching 3.9V, the soft-start
charging currents revert to normal operation and the
soft-start voltage is allowed to recover.
4.6
Thermal Protection
An internal temperature sensor protects the device if the
junction temperature exceeds +145°C. There is
approximately +15°C of hysteresis.
