Product details
Overview
DGD0590AFU-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-frequency dual-channel gate driver IC for half-bridge N-channel MOSFET configurations, featuring 40V floating high-side capability, 1.0A/1.0A high-side source/sink and 1.0A/3.0A low-side source/sink drive strength, 16ns/12ns typical propagation delays (HS/LS), and operation from -40°C to +125°C in V-QFN3030-8 package. It enables compact wireless power charger and motor drive designs with integrated bootstrap diode and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs.
For engineers reviewing the DGD0590AFU-7 datasheet, DGD0590AFU-7 pinout, DGD0590AFU-7 application, or DGD0590AFU-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include high-side voltage rating (40V), matched propagation delay (≤4ns skew), UVLO threshold (3.4V ±0.4V), fast switching (27ns rise/17ns fall @3nF), and thermal resistance (120°C/W) for high-density power stage layout.
Technical Context
The DGD0590AFU-7 implements independent high-side and low-side drivers with isolated floating supply (VB–VS ≤40V) and shared logic ground (COM). Its internal bootstrap diode eliminates external diode placement, while matched propagation delays (16ns HS / 12ns LS) minimize shoot-through risk in high-frequency PWM control.
Logic inputs (HIN/LIN) accept 3.3V–5V CMOS/TTL levels with built-in pulldown resistors; UVLO (3.4V ±0.4V) disables outputs during VCC brownout. The device uses a single VCC supply (4.5–5.5V) for logic and low-side circuitry, while high-side operation relies on charge-pumped VB–VS rail.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| High-Side Voltage Rating | 40V max VB–VS offset - supports 36V bus systems with margin for transients |
| Output Drive Strength | HS: 1.0A source / 1.0A sink; LS: 1.0A source / 3.0A sink - drives logic-level MOSFETs with <10nC Qg at >1MHz |
| Propagation Delay | HS: 16ns typ; LS: 12ns typ - enables <5ns dead-time control for 2MHz+ switching |
| Rise/Fall Time | 27ns rise / 17ns fall @3nF load - reduces switching losses in GaN/MOSFET half-bridges |
| UVLO Threshold | 3.4V ±0.4V with hysteresis - prevents erratic gate drive during VCC ramp-up/down |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for industrial motor drives and automotive-adjacent chargers |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 120°C/W on 2-layer FR-4 - requires minimal copper area for 1W dissipation at full load |
Pinout & Package
V-QFN3030-8 (Standard) package: 3.0mm × 3.0mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed thermal pad connected to COM.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VB | High-side floating supply input | Connects to bootstrap capacitor top node; must withstand up to 50V transient |
| 2 HIN | High-side logic input | TTL/CMOS-compatible; internal pulldown ensures default-low state during MCU reset |
| 3 COM | Low-side return and substrate connection | Must be tied to PCB ground plane and thermal pad; serves as reference for LS output and logic |
| 4 LO | Low-side gate driver output | Drives MOSFET source directly; 3.0A sink capability handles high dV/dt Miller current |
| 5 VCC | Logic and low-side supply | 4.5–5.5V regulated input; powers internal logic, level shifters, and LS driver |
| 6 LIN | Low-side logic input | Independent of HIN; allows asymmetric PWM or synchronous rectification control |
| 7 VS | High-side floating supply return | Connects to MOSFET source node; defines high-side reference; subject to fast dV/dt |
| 8 HO | High-side gate driver output | Drives MOSFET gate with 1.0A source/sink; referenced to VS, not COM |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Eliminates external diode and associated layout complexity; reduces BOM count by one passive |
| Matched propagation delays | 4ns inter-channel skew (16ns vs. 12ns) enables precise dead-time tuning without external delay compensation |
| Fast switching with low impedance | HS/LS output impedances ≤2.6Ω source / ≤1.0Ω sink ensure <30ns edge times into 3nF gate capacitance |
| Robust UVLO with hysteresis | 0.4V hysteresis prevents oscillation near threshold; guarantees clean output disable during supply faults |
| Extended temperature operation | Specified performance over -40°C to +125°C ambient enables use in sealed enclosures without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-frequency half-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS2005STRPBF | Higher VBS rating (600V), but slower propagation (60ns HS/50ns LS), no integrated bootstrap diode | Better suited for high-voltage PFC stages; requires external bootstrap diode and larger layout area | Select when >100V bus operation is required and switching frequency <200kHz |
| LM5113SDX/NOPB | Separate VDD/VBST supplies, 5A peak sink, but no internal bootstrap diode and wider SOIC-8 package | Preferred for high-current motor drives needing >3A sink; lacks integrated diode and thermal performance of V-QFN | Select when ultra-high low-side sink current (>3A) is mandatory and board space permits SOIC-8 |
Compared with IRS2005STRPBF and LM5113SDX/NOPB, the DGD0590AFU-7 offers superior high-frequency suitability (≤16ns delays), smaller footprint (3×3mm), and reduced BOM via integrated bootstrap diode-making it optimal for space- and speed-critical 5–40V half-bridge designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pin?
The DGD0590AFU-7 specifies a maximum transient dVS/dt of 50 V/ns per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This rating ensures reliable level-shifting operation under fast-switching conditions typical in GaN-based converters. Exceeding this limit risks false triggering or latch-up; layout best practices include minimizing VS loop inductance and using local ceramic decoupling.
Does the DGD0590AFU-7 require an external bootstrap capacitor?
Yes-the internal bootstrap diode only replaces the external diode; a 0.1µF–0.22µF ceramic bootstrap capacitor is still required between VB and VS pins to replenish high-side supply during each switching cycle. The capacitor must be placed within 2mm of the VB/VS pins with low-inductance routing to maintain stability at >1MHz.
Can HIN and LIN be driven from separate controllers?
Yes-HIN and LIN are fully independent logic inputs with individual pulldown resistors. This allows asynchronous control, such as using one MCU timer channel for HIN and another for LIN, or combining with external logic for fault-handling dead-time insertion. No internal synchronization or cross-coupling exists between the two inputs.
Is the DGD0590AFU-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No-the DGD0590AFU-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes states that automotive-grade variants require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing; this part is rated for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) but lacks automotive qualification documentation, stress testing, or certified process controls.
