Product details
Overview
DGD0506AM10-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-frequency half-bridge gate driver IC designed to drive two N-channel MOSFETs in synchronous buck, motor control, and Class D amplifier topologies. It features 50V floating high-side capability, 1.5A source/2.0A sink output current, programmable deadtime (40–560 ns), and operates across –40°C to +125°C. Its MSOP-10 package supports compact power stage layouts in battery-powered hand tools and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the DGD0506AM10-13 datasheet, DGD0506AM10-13 pinout, DGD0506AM10-13 application, or DGD0506AM10-13 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, thermal derating data for MSOP-10, and validated alternative options with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The DGD0506AM10-13 integrates independent high-side and low-side drivers with cross-conduction prevention logic and internal bootstrap diode. Its dual UVLO (VCCUV± and VBSUV±) independently monitors both supply rails to prevent shoot-through during brown-out conditions.
Deadtime is set externally via resistor RDT (10kΩ or 100kΩ), yielding precise tDT of 40–100 ns or 300–560 ns respectively, with matching tolerance ≤50 ns. Propagation delays (ton = 65–125 ns, toff = 22–56 ns) are tightly matched (tDM ≤50 ns), enabling >1 MHz switching in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1.5A source / 2.0A sink - drives gate charge of medium-power MOSFETs (e.g., Qg ≈ 25 nC at 12V) with <35 ns rise/fall times |
| Deadtime Range | 40–560 ns (RDT-programmable) - prevents MOSFET overlap conduction while supporting high-frequency operation up to 1.5 MHz |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC: 8–14V; VB: VS+8 to VS+14V - compatible with 12V gate-drive rails and bootstrap configurations up to 50V high-side offset |
| Propagation Delay Match | ≤50 ns delay mismatch (tDM) - ensures symmetrical turn-on/turn-off timing critical for ZVS/ZCS soft-switching control |
| Quiescent Current | <1 µA shutdown ICCSD; 0.28–0.5 mA ICCQ - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-operated eCig and portable tools |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 166 °C/W (MSOP-10, JEDEC 2-layer FR-4) - limits junction temperature rise to ≤12°C/W at 7.6 mA operating current |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial motor drives and automotive cabin electronics (non-AEC) |
Pinout & Package
Package: MSOP-10 (3.0 mm × 4.9 mm × 1.1 mm), exposed pad connected to COM for thermal and electrical grounding per recommended layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCC | Low-side and logic supply input | Provides power to internal logic and low-side driver; requires local 100nF decoupling to COM |
| 2 VB | High-side floating supply input | Connects to bootstrap capacitor anode; must be ≥8V above VS to enable high-side output |
| 3 HO | High-side gate drive output | Drives N-MOSFET gate referenced to VS; capable of 50V swing with 1.5A peak sourcing |
| 4 VS | High-side floating return | Switch node connection; referenced to HO output; must be routed with low-inductance path to minimize dVS/dt noise |
| 5 NC | No internal connection | Unbonded die pad; must remain unconnected and unpopulated on PCB |
| 6 DT | Deadtime control input | Resistor-to-ground sets deadtime duration; 10kΩ → 40–100 ns; 100kΩ → 300–560 ns |
| 7 EN | Enable logic input | Active-high; logic low disables both HO and LO outputs; hysteresis ≥0.6V prevents chatter near threshold |
| 8 IN | Phase control input | In-phase with HO output; TTL/CMOS-compatible down to 3.3V; VIH ≥2.4V, VIL ≤0.8V |
| 9 COM | Low-side and logic ground return | Common reference for VCC, EN, IN, and LO; must be tied to PCB ground plane with low-impedance path |
| 10 LO | Low-side gate drive output | Drives N-MOSFET gate referenced to COM; sinks 2.0A peak to discharge gate quickly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal bootstrap diode | VF1 = 0.67V @ 100µA / VF2 = 1.7V @ 100mA - eliminates external diode, reducing BOM count and layout area in half-bridge designs |
| Cross-conduction prevention | Hardware-enforced logic blocking - guarantees HO and LO never simultaneously active, even during fast transients or logic glitches |
| Programmable deadtime | Resistor-set precision (±15% typical) - allows optimization for specific MOSFET Qg and switching frequency without firmware changes |
| Ultra-low standby current | <1 µA ICCSD - extends battery life in eCig devices and cordless tools during idle mode |
| Logic-level compatibility | 3.3V-tolerant IN/EN inputs - interfaces directly with modern MCUs and DSPs without level-shifting circuitry |
Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Motor Control |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS2004M | Fixed 500 ns deadtime; no DT pin; higher VBS UVLO threshold (9.5V); 2.5A sink only | Lacks programmability; requires external bootstrap diode; better suited for fixed-frequency 100–300 kHz inverters | Select when deadtime stability > flexibility; avoid if designing for variable-frequency PFC or resonant topologies |
| LM5109BMAX | Independent high/low inputs; no internal bootstrap diode; 1.5A/1.5A symmetric drive; 5V logic only | Requires external bootstrap diode and level shifters for 3.3V MCU interface; wider SOIC-8 footprint | Choose for designs needing separate IN/INB control or where board space permits external diode placement |
Compared with IRS2004M and LM5109BMAX, the DGD0506AM10-13 uniquely combines programmable deadtime, integrated bootstrap diode, and 3.3V logic compatibility in a thermally optimized MSOP-10 package-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-fed half-bridge systems requiring design flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dVS/dt at the VS pin?
The DGD0506AM10-13 specifies a maximum dVS/dt rating of 50 V/ns at the VS pin. Exceeding this rate risks false triggering of the high-side level shifter, leading to erratic HO output. Layout best practices include minimizing loop inductance between VS and HO, using Kelvin connections for VS, and placing bootstrap capacitor close to VB/VS pins.
Can the DGD0506AM10-13 drive 60V MOSFETs?
No-the DGD0506AM10-13's high-side driver is rated for up to 50V floating operation (VB–VS ≤ 50V). While its absolute maximum VB rating is +60V, the recommended operating condition limits VB to VS + 14V, and the device is not characterized or guaranteed for reliable operation with 60V MOSFETs in high-side position. Use only with ≤50V-rated high-side switches.
Is the NC pin (Pin 5) required to be grounded or left floating?
Pin 5 is a true no-connect terminal with no internal bond wire or silicon connection. It must remain unconnected and unpopulated on the PCB-neither grounded nor tied to any net. Routing copper under or adjacent to Pin 5 is acceptable, but solder paste and stencil aperture must be omitted to prevent unintended shorts or solder bridging.
How does the internal bootstrap diode affect thermal performance in continuous conduction mode?
The internal bootstrap diode (VF2 = 1.7V @ 100mA) dissipates ~170 mW during each charging cycle. In continuous CCM operation at 500 kHz, this adds measurable junction temperature rise-especially in MSOP-10's higher RθJA (166 °C/W). Thermal simulation shows +8.5°C rise over ambient at 100% duty; use minimum 25 mm² copper pour under exposed pad to maintain TJ < 125°C.
