TF2106M
High Side and Low Side Gate Driver
Operation
Halfbridge Configuration
A common configuration used for the TF2106 M is a
half - bridge
( see fig . 28 ). In a half - bridge
configuration the source of the high-side MOSFET (QH )
and the drain of the low-side MOSFET (QL) are connected
. That line (VS) is both the return for the high side in the
gate driver IC as well as the output of the half-bridge .
When QH is on and QL is off, VS swings to high voltage ,
and when QH is off and QL is on , VS swings to GND .
Hence the output switches from GND to high voltage at
the frequency of HIN and LIN , this line drives a
transformer for a power supply, or a coil on a motor.
In this half-bridge configuration, high voltage DC is input
to the MOSFETs, and converted to a high voltage switching
signal to output to load (fig 28). The MOSFETs operate
in saturation mode and an important function of the
gate driver is to turn on the MOSFET quickly to minimize
switching losses from the linear region of the MOSFET
(turn on and turn off); the TF2106 has a typical rise/fall time
of 100ns/35ns into a 1nF load.
Another important function of the gate driver IC in the
half-bridge configuration is to convert the logic signals of
control (TF2106 operates at logic 3.3V), to a voltage level
and current capacity to drive the gate of the MOSFET and
IGBT; this requires driving large currents initially to turn on/
turn off the MOSFET quickly. Also the floating well of the
high-side allows high voltage operation in the bootstrap
operation.

Figure 28. TF2106M in a half-bridge configuration
Bootstrap Operation
The supply for the TF 2106M High Side is provided by the bootstrap
capacitor CB (see fig 29). In the half -bridge configuration, VS swings
from 0V to VHV depending on the PWM input ot the IC. When VS is 0
V, VBS will go below VCC and V CC will charge CB . When HO goes
high , VS swings to VHV , and VBS remains at VCC minus a diode drop
(DB) due to the voltage on CB . This is the supply for the high side
gate driver and allows the gate driver to function with the floating
well (VS ) at the high voltage.
When considering the value of the bootstrap capacitor CB , it is
important that it is sized to provide enough energy to quickly drive
the gate of QH . Values of 1 mF to 10mF are recommended , exact
value depending on gate capacitance, and the noise in application.
It is key to use a low ESR capacitor that is close to the device. This will
best quickly supply charge to the gate of the MOSFET.

High Side and Low Side Gate Driver
For a more detailed description on Gate Resistor Selection and Bootstrap Capacitor Selectrion, see the TF
Semiconductor’s Gate Driver Application Note (AN1347).
Gate Drive Control
The most crucial time in the gate drive is the turn on and
turn off of the MOSFET, and performing this function
quickly, but with minimal noise and ringing is key. Too fast
a rise/fall time can cause unnecessary ringing, and too slow
a rise/fall time will increase switching losses in the MOSFET.
Increasing turn on and turn off has the effect of limiting
ringing and noise due to parasitic inductances, hence with
a noisy environment, it may be necessary to increase the
gate resistors. For gate resistor value selection the exact
value depends on the type of application and desired level
of noise and ringing expected. Generally, power supplies
switch at a fast speed, and want to squeeze out efficiency of
the MOSFETs, so lower values are recommended, for example
RGH = 5W - 20W. For motors, the switching speed is
generally slower, and the application has more inherent
noise, so higher values are recommended, for example
RGH = 20W - 100W.
An example of just the high side gate driver is shown in
figure 30 (any selection of gate driver components should
be the same for high side and low side drive); two extra
components are seen, RDH and DH. With the careful selection of
RGH and RDH , it is possible to selectively control the rise time
and fall time of the gate drive. For turn on, all current will
go from the IC through RGH and charge the MOSFET gate
capacitor, hence increasing or decreasing RGH will increase
or decrease rise time in the application. With the addition
of DH , the fall time can be separately controlled as the turn
off current flows from the MOSFET gate capacitor, through
DH and RDH to the driver in the IC to VS. So increasing or
decreasing RDH will increase or decrease the fall time.

Application Information
Layout Considerations
Layout plays a considerable role in noise and ringing
in a circuit; unwanted noise coupling, unpredicted
glitches and abnormal operation could arise due to
poor layout of the associated components. Figure 31
shows a halfbridge schematic with parasitic inductances
in the high current path (LP1, LP2, LP3, LP4) which would
be caused by inductance in the metal of the trace.
Considering fig. 31, the length of the tracks in red
should be minimized, and the bootstrap capacitor (CB)
and the decoupling capacitor (CD) should be placed as
close to the IC as possible. Low ESR ceramic capacitors
should be used to minimize inductance. And finally the
gate resistors (RGH and RGL) and the sense resistor (RS)
should be surface mount devices. These suggestions
will reduce the parasitics due to the PCB traces.
RGH
A layout example is seen in figure 32. Here there are two
bootstrap capacitors (CB1 and CB2) and two decoupling
capacitors (C1 and C2), and the caps are placed as close
as possible to the HVIC. But even if only using one
boostrap cap and one decoupling capacitor, it needs to
be as close as possible to minimize inductance between
the cap and the driver.
Generally, for the decoupling capacitor on VCC, at least
one low ESR capacitor is recommended with it close to
the device as shown in figure 32. Recommended values
are 1mF to 10mF. A second smaller decoupling capacitor
is sometimes added to provide better high frequency
response (for example 0.1mF).
