range
Driver current capability: 290 mA source, 430
mA sink
Switching times 75/35 nsec rise/fall with 1 nF
load
3.3 V, 5 V TTL/CMOS inputs with hysteresis
Integrated bootstrap diode
Operational amplifier for advanced current
sensing
Comparator for fast fault protection

Adjustable deadtime
Interlocking function
Compact and simplified layout
Bill of material reduction
Both device outputs can sink and source 430 mA
and 290 mA respectively. Prevention from cross
conduction is ensured by interlocking and
programmable deadtime functions.
The device has dedicated input pins for each
output and a shutdown pin. The logic inputs are
CMOS/TTL compatible down to 3.3 V for easy
interfacing with control devices. Matched delays
between low-side and high-side sections
guarantee no cycle distortion and allow high
frequency operation.
The L6390 embeds an operational amplifier
suitable for advanced current sensing in
applications such as field oriented motor control
or for sensorless BEMF detection. A comparator
featuring advanced smartSD function is also
integrated in the device, ensuring fast and
effective protection against fault events like
overcurrent, overtemperature, etc.
Home appliances
The L6390 device features also UVLO protection
on both the lower and upper driving sections,
preventing the power switches from operating in
low efficiency or dangerous conditions.
Motor drivers
– DC, AC, PMDC and PMAC motors
– FOC and sensorless BEMF detection
systems
The integrated bootstrap diode as well as all of
the integrated features of this IC make the
application PCB design easier, more compact and
simple thus reducing the overall bill of material.
Industrial applications and drives
The device is available in an SO-16 tube and tape
and reel packaging options.

1. The circuit provides less than 1 V on the LVG and HVG pins (at Isink = 10 mA), with VCC > 3 V. This allows
the omission of the “bleeder” resistor connected between the gate and the source of the external MOSFET
normally used to hold the pin low; the gate driver assures low impedance also in SD condition.

Input logic
Input logic is provided with an interlocking circuitry which avoids cross-conduction in case of
wrong signals on LIN and HIN tries to turn-on both LVG and HVG outputs at the same times.
In addition, to prevent cross conduction of the external MOSFETs, after each output is
turned off, the other output cannot be turned on before a certain amount of time (DT) (see
Figure 5: Dead time and interlocking timing definitions).

Smart shutdown function
Smart shutdown function
The L6390 device integrates a comparator committed to the fault sensing function. The
comparator has an internal voltage reference Vref connected to the inverting input, while the
non-inverting input is available on the pin 10. The comparator input can be connected to an
external shunt resistor in order to implement a simple overcurrent detection function. The
output signal of the comparator is fed to an integrated MOSFET with the open drain output
available on the pin 2, shared with the SD input. When the comparator triggers, the device is
set in shutdown state and both its outputs are set to low level leaving the half-bridge in
tristate.

Smart shutdown function
L6390
In common overcurrent protection architectures the comparator output is usually connected
to the SD input and an RC network is connected to this SD/OD line in order to provide
a monostable circuit, which implements a protection time that follows the fault condition.
Differently from the common fault detection systems, the L6390 smart shutdown
architecture allows immediate turn-off of the outputs of the gate driver in the case of fault, by
minimizing the propagation delay between the fault detection event and the actual output
switch-off. In fact, the time delay between the fault detection and the output turn-off is no
longer dependent on the value of the external RC network connected to the SD/OD pin. In
the smart shutdown circuitry the fault signal has a preferential path which directly switches
off the outputs after the comparator triggering. At the same time the internal logic turns on
the open drain output and holds it on until the SD voltage goes below the SD logic input
lower threshold. When such threshold is reached, the open drain output is turned off,
allowing the external pull-up to recharge the capacitor. The driver outputs restart following
the input pins as soon as the voltage at the SD/OD pin reaches the higher threshold of the
SD logic input. The smart shutdown system provides the possibility to increase the time
constant of the external RC network (that determines the disable time after the fault event)
up to very large values without increasing the delay time of the protection.
Any external signal provided to the SD pin is not latched and can be used as control signal
in order to perform, for instance, PWM chopping through this pin. In fact when a PWM signal
is applied to the SD input and the logic inputs of the gate driver are stable, the outputs
switch from the low level to the state defined by the logic inputs and vice versa.
In some applications it may be useful to latch the driver in the shutdown condition for an
arbitrary time, until the controller decides to reset it to normal operation. This may, for
example, be achieved with a circuit similar to the one shown in Figure 8. When the open
drain starts pulling down the SD/OD pin, the external latch turns on and keeps the pin to
GND, preventing it from being pulled up again once the SD logic input lower threshold is
reached and the internal open drain turns off. One pin of the controller is used to release the
external latch, and one to externally force a shutdown condition and also to read the status
of the SD/OD pin.

In applications using only one L6390 for the protection of several different legs (such as
a single-shunt inverter, for example) it may be useful to implement the resistor divider shown
in Figure 9. This simple network allows the pushing of the SD pins of the other devices to
a voltage lower than L6390 Vil, so that each device can reach its low logic level regardless of
part-to-part variations of the thresholds.

Bootstrap driver
Bootstrap driver
A bootstrap circuitry is needed to supply the high voltage section. This function is normally
accomplished by a high voltage fast recovery diode (Figure 11.a). In the L6390 device
a patented integrated structure replaces the external diode. It is realized by a high voltage
DMOS, driven synchronously with the low-side driver (LVG), with a diode in series, as
shown in Figure 11.b. An internal charge pump (Figure 11.b) provides the DMOS driving
voltage.
CBOOT selection and charging
To choose the proper CBOOT value the external MOS can be seen as an equivalent
capacitor. This capacitor CEXT is related to the MOS total gate charge:
Equation 1
Q gate
C EXT = -------------V gate
The ratio between the capacitors CEXT and CBOOT is proportional to the cyclical voltage loss.
It must be:
Equation 2
CBOOT >>> CEXT
E.g.: if Qgate is 30 nC and Vgate is 10 V, CEXT is 3 nF. With CBOOT = 100 nF the drop would be
300 mV.
If HVG must be supplied for a long time, the CBOOT selection must also take the leakage and
quiescent losses into account.
E.g.: HVG steady-state consumption is lower than 240 A, so if HVG TON is 5 ms, CBOOT
must supply 1.2 C to CEXT. This charge on a 1 F capacitor means a voltage drop of 1.2 V.
The internal bootstrap driver offers important advantages: the external fast recovery diode
can be avoided (it usually has a high leakage current).
This structure can work only if VOUT is close to GND (or lower) and, at the same time, the
LVG is on. The charging time (Tcharge) of the CBOOT is the time in which both conditions are
fulfilled and it must be long enough to charge the capacitor.
The bootstrap driver introduces a voltage drop due to the DMOS RDSon (typical value:
120 ). This drop can be neglected at low switching frequency, but it should be taken into
account when operating at high switching frequency.

Bootstrap driver
L6390
The following equation is useful to compute the drop on the bootstrap DMOS:
Equation 3
Q gate
V drop = I ch arg e R dson V drop = ------------------R dson
T ch arg e
where Qgate is the gate charge of the external power MOSFET, Rdson is the on-resistance of
the bootstrap DMOS and Tcharge is the charging time of the bootstrap capacitor.
For example: using a power MOSFET with a total gate charge of 30 nC, the drop on the
bootstrap DMOS is about 1 V, if the Tcharge is 5 s. In fact:
Equation 4
30nC
V drop = --------------- 120 0.7V
5s
Vdrop should be taken into account when the voltage drop on CBOOT is calculated: if this drop
is too high, or the circuit topology doesn’t allow a sufficient charging time, an external diode
can be used.
