Product details
Overview
L6571BD013TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage half-bridge gate driver IC with integrated oscillator, designed to drive external N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs in resonant or hard-switched topologies. It features 600 V high-side floating supply capability, programmable oscillator frequency (up to 200 kHz), 0.72 μs internal dead time (L6571B variant), ±50 V/ns dV/dt immunity, and 15.6 V Zener clamp on VS - used in compact AC-DC SMPS and electronic ballasts.
For engineers reviewing the L6571BD013TR datasheet, L6571BD013TR pinout, L6571BD013TR application, or L6571BD013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-based high-side drive capability, undervoltage lockout hysteresis (1 V), sink/source current specs (270 mA/170 mA), and SO-8 tape-and-reel availability for automated assembly.
Technical Context
The device integrates a self-oscillating timing circuit whose frequency is set by external RF and CF, supporting both free-running and externally synchronized operation via the CF pin. Internal logic enforces fixed dead time between high- and low-side outputs to prevent shoot-through during power switch transitions.
High-side drive operates from a bootstrap capacitor referenced to the OUT node, enabling operation with VBOOT up to 618 V and dVBOOT/dt tolerance of ±50 V/ns. The VS pin includes a 15.6 V Zener clamp and UVLO with 1 V hysteresis, ensuring robust start-up and brown-out protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max VBOOT | 618 V - supports high-voltage half-bridge operation up to 600 V DC bus |
| Dead time (typ.) | 0.72 μs - fixed internal delay prevents cross-conduction in MOSFET/IGBT pairs |
| Oscillator freq. range | 200 kHz max - programmable via external RF/CF for flexible switching frequency tuning |
| Driver sink/source | 270 mA sink / 170 mA source - sufficient gate drive strength for fast turn-on/turn-off of power devices |
| dV/dt immunity | ±50 V/ns - ensures reliable operation under fast transient voltage conditions at high-side node |
| VS clamp voltage | 15.6 V (typ.) - internal Zener protects logic supply from overvoltage during startup or fault |
| UVLO hysteresis | 1 V (typ.) - provides stable enable/disable threshold with noise margin against supply ripple |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-8 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit, 8-pin, surface-mount). Compliant with ECOPACK® environmental specifications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VS) | Clamped supply input | 15.6 V Zener-clamped rail for internal logic; requires external decoupling |
| 2 (RF) | Oscillator resistor interface | Buffers external timing resistor; can also drive secondary ICs in multi-driver systems |
| 3 (CF) | Oscillator capacitor / sync input | Accepts external timing capacitor or logic-level sync signal for forced oscillation control |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for low-side driver and logic circuitry; separate from power ground paths |
| 5 (LVG) | Low-side gate driver output | 170 mA source / 270 mA sink capability drives N-MOSFET gate directly |
| 6 (OUT) | High-side floating reference | Connects to source of high-side N-MOSFET; defines return path for HVG output |
| 7 (HVG) | High-side gate driver output | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET relative to OUT; bootstrapped supply required |
| 8 (BOOT) | Bootstrap supply input | Charged via diode/capacitor from VS; supplies high-side driver stage up to 618 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated oscillator | Programmable frequency (200 kHz max) eliminates need for external clock generator |
| Bootstrap high-side drive | Supports 600 V bridge operation without isolated supply; reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| Fixed dead-time logic | 0.72 μs (L6571B) prevents simultaneous conduction - no external timing components needed |
| High dV/dt immunity | ±50 V/ns tolerance enables stable operation in noisy high-voltage switching environments |
| Low start-up current | 150 μA typical - minimizes power loss during initial charge of bootstrap capacitor |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2153(D)(S) | Fixed 50% duty cycle; no programmable oscillator; 600 V rating; lower sink current (200 mA) | Lacks frequency programming and adjustable dead time; suited for fixed-frequency flyback or push-pull | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs flexibility needs and system timing is fixed |
| UCC27201A | No integrated oscillator; 120 V max VBS; higher peak current (4 A); requires external PWM controller | Designed for synchronous buck or motor control; not suitable for bootstrap-based 600 V bridges | Choose only if external controller exists and high-speed, high-current drive is prioritized over integration |
Compared with IR2153D and UCC27201A, L6571BD013TR uniquely combines oscillator programmability, 600 V bootstrap capability, and fixed dead time in SO-8 - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, self-oscillating half-bridge SMPS where integration reduces board area and BOM count.

FAQ
What is the function of the RF and CF pins on L6571BD013TR?
Pin 2 (RF) connects to an external resistor that sets oscillator frequency alongside CF; it also buffers current to drive additional ICs. Pin 3 (CF) accepts an external timing capacitor or logic-level sync signal - enabling either self-oscillation or external control of switching timing without modifying hardware.
Can L6571BD013TR drive IGBTs directly?
Yes - its 270 mA sink and 170 mA source gate drive capability meets typical IGBT gate charge requirements for devices up to ~30 A rated current. The 0.72 μs dead time and ±50 V/ns dV/dt immunity further ensure safe commutation in hard-switched IGBT half-bridges.
How does the VS pin Zener clamp protect the IC?
The internal 15.6 V Zener on VS limits voltage applied to internal logic during startup surges or bootstrap charging transients. This eliminates need for external clamping diodes and prevents latch-up or damage when VS is driven from unregulated sources like rectified mains.
Is L6571BD013TR pin-compatible with L6571AD013TR?
Yes - both share identical SO-8 package, pinout, and electrical characteristics except for internal dead time (0.72 μs vs. 1.25 μs). No PCB redesign is needed when substituting between L6571B and L6571A variants for frequency or timing optimization.
