SLM27211
SLM27211 120-V Boot, 4-A Peak, High-Frequency High-Side and Low-Side Driver
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The SLM27211 is a high-frequency N-channel
MOSFET driver include a 120-V bootstrap diode and
high-side and low-side drivers with independent
inputs for maximum control flexibility. This allows for
N-channel MOSFET control in half-bridge, fullbridge, two-switch forward, and active clamp forward
converters. The low-side and the high-side gate
drivers are independently controlled and matched to
2ns between the turnon and turnoff of each other.
An on-chip bootstrap diode eliminates the external
discrete diodes. Undervoltage lockout is provided
for both the high-side and the low-side drivers
forcing the outputs low if the drive voltage is below
the specified threshold.

PIN DESCRIPTION

Pin
Description
1
VDD
Positive supply to the lower-gate driver. De-couple this pin to VSS (GND). Typical
decoupling capacitor range is 0.22 µF to 4.7 µF.
2
HB
High-side bootstrap supply. The bootstrap diode is on-chip but the external bootstrap
capacitor is required. Connect positive side of the bootstrap capacitor to this pin.
Typical range of HB bypass capacitor is 0.022 µF to 0.1 µF. The capacitor value is
dependent on the gate charge of the high- side MOSFET and must also be selected
based on speed and ripple criteria
3
HO
High-side output. Connect to the gate of the high-side power MOSFET.
4
HS
High-side source connection. Connect to source of high-side power MOSFET.
Connect the negative side of bootstrap capacitor to this pin.
5
HI
High-side input.(1)
6
LI
Low-side input.(1)
7
VSS
Negative supply terminal for the device that is generally grounded.
8
LO
Low-side output. Connect to the gate of the low-side power MOSFET.
Thermal Pad(2)
(1)
(2)
Utilized on the DFN package only. Electrically referenced to VSS (GND). Connect to a
large thermal mass trace or GND plane to dramatically improve thermal performance.
HI or LI input is assumed to connect to a low impedance source signal. The source output impedance is assumed less than 100 Ω. If
the source impedance is greater than 100 Ω, add a bypassing capacitor, each, between HI and VSS and between LI and VSS. The
added capacitor value depends on the noise levels presented on the pins, typically from 1 nF to 10 nF should be effective to eliminate
the possible noise effect. When noise is present on two pins, HI or LI, the effect is to cause HO and LO malfunctions to have wrong
logic outputs.
The thermal pad is not directly connected to any leads of the package; however, it is electrically and thermally connected to
the substrate which is the ground of the device.

Device Functional Modes
The device operates in normal mode and UVLO mode. See the Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) section for
information on UVLO operation mode. In the normal mode the output state is dependent on states of the HI and LI
pins. Table 2 lists the output states for different input pin combinations.

Application Information
To affect fast switching of power devices and reduce associated switching power losses, a powerful gate driver is
employed between the PWM output of controllers and the gates of the power semiconductor devices. Also, gate
drivers are indispensable when it is impossible for the PWM controller to directly drive the gates of the switching
devices. With the advent of digital power, this situation will be often encountered because the PWM signal from the
digital controller is often a 3.3-V logic signal which cannot effectively turn on a power switch. Level shifting circuitry
is needed to boost the 3.3-V signal to the gate-drive voltage (such as 12 V) in order to fully turn on the power
device and minimize conduction losses. Traditional buffer drive circuits based on NPN/PNP bipolar transistors in
totem-pole arrangement, being emitter follower configurations, prove inadequate with digital power because they
lack level-shifting capability. Gate drivers effectively combine both the level-shifting and buffer-drive functions. Gate
drivers also find other needs such as minimizing the effect of high-frequency switching noise by locating the highcurrent driver physically close to the power switch, driving gate-drive transformers, and controlling floating powerdevice gates, reducing power dissipation and thermal stress in controllers by moving gate charge power losses
from the controller into the driver.
Power Dissipation
Power dissipation of the gate driver has two portions as shown in Equation 1.
PDISS = PDC + PSW
(1)
The DC portion of the power dissipation is PDC = IQ × VDD where IQ is the quiescent current for the driver. The
quiescent current is the current consumed by the device to bias all internal circuits such as input stage, reference
voltage, logic circuits, protections, and also any current associated with switching of internal devices when the driver
output changes state (such as charging and discharging of parasitic capacitances, parasitic shoot-through, and so
forth). The SLM27211 features very low quiescent currents (less than 0.17 mA, refer to the Electrical Characteristics
table )and contain internal logic to eliminate any shoot-through in the output driver stage. Thus, the effect of the
PDC on the total power dissipation within the gate driver can be safely assumed to be negligible. The power
dissipated in the gate-driver package during switching (PSW) depends on the following factors:
• Gate charge required of the power device (usually a function of the drive voltage VG, which is very close to
input bias supply voltage VDD)
• Switching frequency
• Use of external gate resistors. When a driver device is tested with a discrete, capacitive load calculating the
power that is required from the bias supply is fairly simple. The energy that must be transferred from the bias
supply to charge the capacitor is given by Equation 2.

SLM27211
There is an equal amount of energy dissipated when the capacitor is charged and when it is discharged. This leads
to a total power loss given by Equation 3.
2
PG = CLOAD × VDD × fSW
where
• fSW is the switching frequency
(3)
The switching load presented by a power MOSFET/IGBT is converted to an equivalent capacitance by examining
the gate charge required to switch the device. This gate charge includes the effects of the input capacitance plus the
added charge needed to swing the drain voltage of the power device as it switches between the ON and OFF states.
Most manufacturers provide specifications of typical and maximum gate charge, in nC, to switch the device under
specified conditions. Using the gate charge Qg, determine the power that must be dissipated when switching a
capacitor which is calculated using the equation QG = CLOAD × VDD to provide Equation 4 for power.
PG = CLOAD × VDD2 × fSW = QG × VDD × fSW
(4)
This power PG is dissipated in the resistive elements of the circuit when the MOSFET/IGBT is being turned on and
off. Half of the total power is dissipated when the load capacitor is charged during turnon, and the other half is
dissipated when the load capacitor is discharged during turnoff. When no external gate resistor is employed
between the driver and MOSFET/IGBT, this power is completely dissipated inside the driver package. With the use
of external gate-drive resistors, the power dissipation is shared between the internal resistance of driver and
external gate resistor.
Power Supply Recommendations
The bias supply voltage range for which the SLM27211 device is recommended to operate is from 8 V to 17 V. The
lower end of this range is governed by the internal undervoltage-lockout (UVLO) protection feature on the VDD pin
supply circuit blocks. Whenever the driver is in UVLO condition when the VDD pin voltage is below the V(ON) supply
start threshold, this feature holds the output low, regardless of the status of the inputs. The upper end of this range
is driven by the 20-V absolute maximum voltage rating of the VDD pin of the device (which is a stress rating).
Keeping a 3-V margin to allow for transient voltage spikes, the maximum recommended voltage for the VDD pin is
17 V. The UVLO protection feature also involves a hysteresis function, which means that when the VDD pin bias
voltage has exceeded the threshold voltage and device begins to operate, and if the voltage drops, then the device
continues to deliver normal functionality unless the voltage drop exceeds the hysteresis specification VDD(hys).
Therefore, ensuring that, while operating at or near the 8-V range, the voltage ripple on the auxiliary power supply
output is smaller than the hysteresis specification of the device is important to avoid triggering device shutdown.
During system shutdown, the device operation continues until the VDD pin voltage has dropped below the V(OFF)
threshold, which must be accounted for while evaluating system shutdown timing design requirements. Likewise, at
system start-up the device does not begin operation until the VDD pin voltage has exceeded the V(ON) threshold.
The quiescent current consumed by the internal circuit blocks of the device is supplied through the VDD pin.
Although this fact is well known, it is important to recognize that the charge for source current pulses delivered by
the HO pin is also supplied through the same VDD pin. As a result, every time a current is sourced out of the HO
pin, a corresponding current pulse is delivered into the device through the VDD pin. Thus, ensure that a local bypass
capacitor is provided between the VDD and GND pins and located as close to the device as possible for the purpose
of decoupling is important. A low-ESR, ceramic surface-mount capacitor is required. Sillumin recommends using a
capacitor in the range 0.22 µF to 4.7 µF between VDD and GND. In a similar manner, the current pulses delivered
by the LO pin are sourced from the HB pin. Therefore a 0.022-µF to 0.1-µF local decoupling capacitor is
recommended between the HB and HS pins.
