Bridge Controller with Precision Dead Time Control
The ISL6745 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
ISL6745 allows for accurate adjustment of MOSFET nonoverlap time (“deadtime”) with deadtimes as low as 35ns,
allowing power engineers to optimize the efficiency of openloop bus converters. The ISL6745 also includes a control
voltage input for closed-loop PWM and line voltage feedforward functions.
Features
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 ISL6745 is available in a space-saving MSOP-10
package and is guaranteed to meet rated specifications over
a wide -40°C to 105°C temperature range.

Pin Descriptions
VDD - 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:
I OUT = 2 Q F SW
A
(EQ. 1)
RTD - This is the 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 deadtime is determined
by the timing capacitor discharge duration.
CT - The oscillator timing capacitor is connected between this
pin and GND.
CS - This is the 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. Once 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.
GND - 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 and OUTB - 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.
SS - 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.
VERR - The 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.
VDDP - 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.
Functional Description
Features
The ISL6745 PWM is an excellent choice for low cost bridge
topologies for applications requiring accurate frequency and
deadtime 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.
Oscillator
The ISL6745 has an oscillator with a frequency range to 2MHz,
programmable using a resistor RTD and capacitor CT.
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 160A in the formula). The discharge duration
is determined by RTD and CT.

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 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.
Equation 2 follows from the basic capacitor current equation,
dV
. In this case, with variation in dV with RTD (Figure
i = C
dt
FN9161 Rev.6.00
Sept 1, 2005
Page 6 of 8
ISL6745
5), and in charge current (Figure 4), results from Equation 2
would differ from the calculated frequency. The typical
performance curves may be used as a tool along with the
previous equations as a more accurate tool to estimate the
operating frequency more accurately.
The maximum duty cycle, D, and deadtime, DT, can be
calculated from:
D = T C T OSC
(EQ. 5)
DT = 1 – D T OSC
s
(EQ. 6)
Soft-Start Operation
The ISL6745 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.
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.
Overcurrent Operation
Overcurrent delayed shutdown is enabled once the soft-start
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 softstart voltage reaching 3.9V, the soft-start charging currents
revert to normal operation and the soft-start voltage is allowed
to recover.
Thermal Protection
An internal temperature sensor protects the device should the
junction temperature exceed 145°C. There is approximately
15°C of hysteresis.
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.
Gate Drive
The ISL6745 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.
