Product details
Overview
DGD21084S14-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-voltage, high-speed half-bridge gate driver IC designed to control two N-channel MOSFETs or IGBTs in bootstrap-configured power stages. It supports 600V high-side floating operation, features programmable dead time (400–680 ns), TTL/CMOS-compatible 3.3V logic inputs, and operates across –40°C to +125°C. Used in DC-DC converters, motor controls, and Class D amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the DGD21084S14-13 datasheet, DGD21084S14-13 pinout, DGD21084S14-13 application, or DGD21084S14-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap voltage tolerance (600V), dead-time configurability, output drive strength (200 mA high-side, 600 mA low-side), propagation delay matching (≤30 ns), and SO-14 thermal performance (RθJA = 120 °C/W).
Technical Context
The DGD21084S14-13 integrates independent high-side and low-side drivers with floating high-side architecture enabled by bootstrap operation. Its Schmitt-triggered HIN/LIN* inputs provide noise immunity, while undervoltage lockout (UVLO) thresholds of 7.4–9.8 V on both VCC and VB rails ensure safe switching under supply sag.
Dead time is set externally via resistor on DT pin (400–680 ns range), and timing parameters are tightly matched: |tON − tOFF| ≤ 30 ns, tMDT ≤ 60 ns. Output stage design minimizes cross-conduction risk through high-current pulsed drive (IO+ = 200 mA, IO− = 600 mA) and fast transitions (tR = 100–220 ns, tF = 35–80 ns).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| High-side max voltage | 600 V - Enables use in 400 VAC rectified bus and industrial DC-DC topologies |
| Dead time range | 400–680 ns - Configurable via external resistor to prevent shoot-through in hard-switching bridges |
| Logic supply range | 10–20 V - Supports wide-input auxiliary supplies without regulation overhead | Input logic compatibility | 3.3 V TTL/CMOS - Direct interface with microcontrollers and FPGA I/O without level-shifting |
| Propagation delay match | ≤30 ns - Ensures symmetrical timing for precise PWM duty-cycle control |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +125°C - Validated for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions |

Package: SO-14 (Type TH), surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant molded plastic housing with matte tin-plated leads; moisture sensitivity level 3 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCC | Low-side and logic supply input | Fixed 10–20 V rail powering internal logic and LO driver; decoupling critical for noise immunity |
| 2 HIN | High-side logic input | In-phase signal controlling HO; Schmitt-triggered with internal pull-down for robust edge detection |
| 3 LIN* | Low-side logic input | Inverted signal controlling LO; active-low polarity enables direct PWM complement generation |
| 4 DT | Dead time programming node | Resistor-connected pin setting interlock interval between HO/LO transitions to prevent shoot-through |
| 5 VSS | Logic ground reference | Common return for HIN/LIN*/DT; offset-tolerant (–5 V to +5 V vs. VCC) for flexible PCB layout |
| 6 COM | Low-side power return | Return path for LO output current; must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| 7 LO | Low-side gate drive output | Capable of 600 mA sink current; drives bottom MOSFET gate with fast fall time (35–80 ns) |
| 11 VS | High-side floating supply return | Reference for HO output; tracks switching node potential up to 600 V offset from VSS |
| 12 HO | High-side gate drive output | 200 mA source current; drives top MOSFET gate referenced to VS, enabling bootstrap bootstrap operation |
| 13 VB | High-side floating supply input | Bootstrap capacitor charging node; rated to 624 V absolute max; UVLO protects against insufficient gate drive |
| 8,9,10,14 NC | No internal connection | Unused pins; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up risk |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Floating high-side driver | Supports 600 V bootstrap operation - eliminates need for isolated bias supplies in half-bridge inverters |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS21844STRPBF | Fixed 600 ns dead time; no external programming; higher VCC UVLO threshold (10–16 V) | Lacks DT pin flexibility; less suitable for SiC MOSFETs requiring sub-500 ns dead time | Select when design prioritizes simplicity over dead-time tuning and uses standard silicon MOSFETs |
| UCC27211DR | 600 V capability; dual independent outputs; no integrated dead-time control; requires external logic | Requires external dead-time generator or controller-level timing management | Select when system-level PWM controller provides precise dead-time control and higher peak current (4 A) is needed |

FAQ
Is DGD21084S14-13 still in production?
No-Diodes Incorporated has officially discontinued the DGD21084S14-13 (marked "OBSOLETE – PART DISCONTINUED" in DS38342 Rev. 3-4). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified legacy stock with full traceability and extended availability support for ongoing production and repair needs.
Can DGD21084S14-13 drive SiC MOSFETs?
Yes-its 600 V high-side rating, 400–680 ns programmable dead time, and fast propagation (220 ns typ.) and rise times (100 ns typ.) align with common SiC gate drive requirements. Ensure gate resistor values and bootstrap capacitor sizing are validated for target SiC device Qg and switching frequency.
What is the minimum recommended dead time resistor value?
The datasheet specifies RDT = 0 Ω yields 400–680 ns dead time. While not explicitly defined as "minimum," 0 Ω is the lower bound used in characterization. For tighter control, use ≥1 kΩ to avoid noise susceptibility on the DT pin; always verify timing with oscilloscope measurements under load.
Does DGD21084S14-13 require external bootstrap diode and capacitor?
Yes-bootstrap operation mandates an external fast-recovery diode (e.g., 1N4148W or equivalent) and low-ESR capacitor (typically 0.1–1 µF ceramic) between VB and VS. The diode must withstand ≥600 V reverse voltage and support required charge transfer at maximum switching frequency.
