Product details
Overview
E-L6598D013TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage resonant controller IC designed for half-bridge LLC and series-resonant AC/DC power supplies. It integrates high-side and low-side gate drivers (450 mA sink / 250 mA source), a current-controlled oscillator (60–120 kHz soft-start, 58–62 kHz min), undervoltage lockout (10.7 V turn-on), and an integrated bootstrap diode - enabling compact 600 V-rated adapter designs with minimal external components.
For engineers reviewing the E-L6598D013TR datasheet, E-L6598D013TR pinout, E-L6598D013TR application in resonant SMPS, or E-L6598D013TR equivalent for half-bridge control, this device delivers dV/dt immunity of ±50 V/ns, 80/40 ns rise/fall times (1 nF load), and Zener-clamped Vs rail - critical for reliable operation in noisy offline environments.
Technical Context
The L6598 employs BCD™ offline technology to support 600 V floating supply (VBOOT) and withstand ±50 V/ns dV/dt transients across its full −40 °C to +125 °C operating range. Its dual CMOS enable inputs (EN1 latched shutdown at 0.6 V, EN2 soft-start restart at 1.2 V) provide robust fault recovery without external logic.
The timing section implements frequency-shifting soft-start via CSS ramping, where ISS charges CSS to linearly reduce oscillator current from Ifstart to Ifmin - enabling controlled startup without inrush stress. The integrated op amp (GBW = 1 MHz, Vio = ±10 mV) supports closed-loop current-mode control by modulating Rfmin with feedback voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max VBOOT | 618 V - supports 600 V-class MOSFETs in high-line AC/DC applications |
| dV/dt immunity | ±50 V/ns - prevents false triggering during fast transient events in resonant converters |
| Driver sink/source | 450 mA sink / 250 mA source - ensures <120 ns rise time driving 1 nF gate load |
| fmin / fstart | 58–62 kHz / 114–126 kHz - programmable via Rfmin/Rfstart/Cf for optimized light-load efficiency |
| Vs UVLO threshold | 10.7 V turn-on, 8.0 V turn-off - provides 2.7 V hysteresis for stable startup under brownout |
| Op amp GBW | 0.5–1 MHz - enables stable compensation of current-loop bandwidth up to ~100 kHz |
| Deadtime | 0.2–0.35 µs - prevents shoot-through in half-bridge while maintaining high duty-cycle capability |
Pinout & Package
Available in SO16N (small-outline 16-pin) package per ECOPACK® environmental compliance. Pin layout optimized for high-voltage isolation and thermal dissipation in offline power stages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CSS) | Soft-start timing capacitor node | Charged by internal ISS current to generate linear frequency ramp during startup |
| 2 (Rfstart) | Soft-start frequency setting input | Low-impedance voltage source sets initial oscillator current (Ifstart = VREF/Rfstart) |
| 3 (Cf) | Oscillator timing capacitor | Forms RC network with Rfmin/Rfstart to define switching frequency (f ≈ 1.41/(R·C)) |
| 5 (OPout) | Sense op amp output | Low-impedance drive for closed-loop frequency modulation or overcurrent protection |
| 11 (LVG) | Low-side gate driver output | Drives N-channel MOSFET source-connected to GND; synchronized with bootstrap charging |
| 14 (OUT) | High-side reference node | Provides floating return path for HVG; clamped internally to avoid negative swing beyond −1 V |
| 15 (HVG) | High-side gate driver output | Drives N-channel MOSFET source-connected to resonant tank; referenced to OUT |
| 16 (VBOOT) | Bootstrap supply input | Charged via integrated DMOS+diode structure during LVG on-time; sustains HVG operation |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage resonant controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC256301 | Higher integration: includes PFC controller, digital frequency control, and adaptive deadtime | Targeted at integrated PFC+LLC systems; requires firmware configuration | Choose when combining PFC and resonant control reduces system cost and footprint |
| IR21531 | Analog oscillator only; no soft-start, no op amp, no integrated bootstrap diode | Used in simpler fixed-frequency half-bridge inverters without closed-loop regulation | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-resonant applications where frequency stability is less critical |
Compared with UCC256301, E-L6598D013TR offers analog simplicity and proven reliability in mature resonant designs; compared with IR21531, it adds essential features like soft-start, protection comparators, and integrated bootstrap - reducing design risk in high-efficiency AC/DC adapters.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for E-L6598D013TR?
The datasheet specifies a maximum switching frequency of 400 kHz under recommended operating conditions. However, practical use is limited to ≤200 kHz due to bootstrap driver voltage drop scaling with frequency and MOSFET gate charge - at 200 kHz with 30 nC Qg, the drop reaches ~2.6 V, impacting high-side drive strength and efficiency.
Can E-L6598D013TR drive IGBTs directly?
Yes - the high-side and low-side drivers deliver 450 mA sink and 250 mA source into 1 nF load, sufficient for most 30–60 A IGBTs used in resonant topologies. However, gate resistor selection must ensure turn-on/turn-off times remain within the 0.27 µs deadtime window to prevent shoot-through.
How does the integrated bootstrap diode affect PCB layout?
The integrated bootstrap diode eliminates the need for an external HV fast-recovery diode between LVG and VBOOT, reducing component count and simplifying routing. Layout must still maintain tight coupling between LVG, VBOOT, and the external bootstrap capacitor to minimize parasitic inductance and ringing.
Is E-L6598D013TR qualified for automotive applications?
No - ST explicitly states L6598 devices are not designed or authorized for automotive, safety-critical, or aerospace applications. They are rated for industrial and commercial use only, with operating ambient temperature up to +125 °C but no AEC-Q100 qualification or automotive-grade screening.
