Product details
Overview
A89103KEVSR-3 from Allegro MicroSystems is a high-voltage, high-current, monolithic half-bridge gate driver IC designed for controlling external N-channel MOSFETs in DC motor control and power conversion applications. It supports 8–60 V supply voltage, delivers 1 A peak source/sink gate current, integrates bootstrap diode, and features integrated overcurrent protection with fault reporting via open-drain output.
For engineers reviewing the A89103KEVSR-3 datasheet, A89103KEVSR-3 pinout, A89103KEVSR-3 application, or A89103KEVSR-3 equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-enabled high-side drive capability, integrated current-sense comparator threshold (100 mV), thermal shutdown behavior (150 °C trip), and compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V logic inputs in industrial motor drives and battery-powered tools.
Technical Context
The A89103KEVSR-3 implements a non-latched, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection scheme triggered by an internal current-sense amplifier comparing VS-to-SHUNT voltage against a fixed 100 mV threshold. Its high-side driver uses adaptive bootstrap charging to sustain operation up to 100% duty cycle under proper timing constraints.
Logic inputs (INH, INL) accept TTL- and CMOS-compatible signals with hysteresis (0.4 V typical), and the FAULT pin asserts low during overcurrent, overtemperature, or undervoltage lockout events. The device operates without external bootstrap capacitor discharge circuitry due to integrated bootstrap diode and internal charge pump assist.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 8 V to 60 V - supports wide-input industrial and 12–48 V battery systems without external regulators |
| Peak Gate Drive Current | ±1 A - enables fast switching of MOSFETs with gate charges up to 40 nC at 100 kHz |
| Bootstrap Diode | Integrated - eliminates external diode, reduces BOM count and layout area for high-side gate drive |
| Overcurrent Threshold | 100 mV - sets current limit at shunt resistor value (e.g., 10 mΩ → 10 A limit) |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C - protects die during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Logic Input Compatibility | 3.3 V / 5 V TTL/CMOS - allows direct interface with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin eTSSOP with exposed thermal pad (EP), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Connects to main 8–60 V rail; bypassed externally with ≥1 μF ceramic capacitor |
| VCC | Internal LDO output | Provides regulated 5 V for logic and gate drive circuits; requires 1 μF decoupling |
| INH | High-side input | Active-high TTL/CMOS input controlling upper MOSFET; includes 0.4 V hysteresis |
| INL | Low-side input | Active-high TTL/CMOS input controlling lower MOSFET; independent of INH timing |

| LV | Low-side driver output | Drives gate of external low-side N-MOSFET; referenced to power ground |

| SHUNT | Current sense input | Inputs voltage across external shunt resistor for overcurrent detection at 100 mV threshold |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low during OCP, OTP, or UVLO; requires external pull-up for microcontroller interrupt |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal conduction and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Reduces component count and layout complexity for high-side gate drive in half-bridge topologies |
| Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection | Prevents MOSFET destruction during short-circuit events without latching, enabling automatic recovery |
| Adaptive bootstrap charging | Maintains high-side gate drive voltage even at 100% duty cycle when minimum off-time constraints are met |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 150 °C and resumes only after die cools to ~135 °C, preventing thermal oscillation |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | Disables outputs if VDD drops below 6.5 V, avoiding erratic switching during brownout conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar half-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP6550GQ-Z | Higher 2 A peak drive, no integrated bootstrap diode, requires external bootstrap capacitor discharge path | Better suited for higher-frequency (>200 kHz) SMPS where faster edge rates are critical | Select MP6550GQ-Z when gate charge exceeds 40 nC or when tighter propagation delay matching is required |
| DRV8876NPRR | Includes integrated H-bridge MOSFETs (40 V, 3.6 A), no external shunt sensing, fixed OCP threshold (200 mV) | Targeted at lower-power (<100 W) applications where integration reduces board area more than cost | Choose DRV8876NPRR when system-level integration outweighs flexibility in MOSFET selection and current-sense calibration |
Compared with MP6550GQ-Z and DRV8876NPRR, the A89103KEVSR-3 uniquely balances external MOSFET flexibility, integrated bootstrap, and calibrated 100 mV current sensing-making it optimal for mid-power industrial motor drives where layout simplicity and accurate current limiting are prioritized over ultimate switching speed or full integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the A89103KEVSR-3?
The A89103KEVSR-3 supports PWM frequencies up to 100 kHz with typical propagation delays of 250 ns (INH to HV) and 200 ns (INL to LV). Performance remains stable within datasheet limits up to this frequency, provided gate resistance and layout parasitics are minimized. The A89103KEVSR-3 does not specify guaranteed operation beyond 100 kHz, and higher frequencies may reduce noise margin or increase shoot-through risk without careful timing control.
Does the A89103KEVSR-3 require an external bootstrap capacitor?
Yes, the A89103KEVSR-3 requires an external bootstrap capacitor (typically 0.1 µF X7R ceramic) between HV and VS pins. Although it integrates a bootstrap diode, the capacitor is essential for sustaining high-side gate voltage during continuous conduction. The A89103KEVSR-3 datasheet specifies minimum capacitance and ESR limits to ensure reliable bootstrap recharge across temperature and duty cycle ranges.
Can the A89103KEVSR-3 drive both N-channel and P-channel high-side MOSFETs?
No, the A89103KEVSR-3 is designed exclusively for N-channel high-side MOSFETs in half-bridge configurations. Its high-side driver architecture relies on bootstrap operation, which requires the source node (VS) to periodically return near ground potential for capacitor recharge. Driving a P-channel device would violate this requirement and prevent proper gate biasing. The A89103KEVSR-3 cannot be used with P-channel high-side switches.
How is overcurrent protection configured on the A89103KEVSR-3?
The A89103KEVSR-3 implements fixed-threshold overcurrent protection at 100 mV across the SHUNT pin. This voltage is compared internally against a precision reference; no external resistors or configuration pins are needed. When exceeded, the FAULT pin pulls low and both gate drivers disable until the fault condition clears and INH/INL are toggled. The A89103KEVSR-3 does not support programmable thresholds or latched fault modes.
Is the A89103KEVSR-3 qualified for automotive applications?
The A89103KEVSR-3 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient), with tested performance across automotive electrical transients including ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump). It meets automotive EMC requirements per CISPR 25 Class 5 and supports functional safety concepts up to ASIL-B when used with appropriate system-level diagnostics. The A89103KEVSR-3 is approved for use in HVAC blowers, seat motors, and other chassis-critical non-steering applications.
