Product details
Overview
LM25101ASD-1/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3-A, 80-V high-voltage half-bridge gate driver IC designed to independently control high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs in synchronous buck and half-bridge power stages. It delivers 3-A peak sourcing/sinking current, supports bootstrap supply up to 100 V DC, achieves 25-ns typical propagation delay, and features TTL-compatible inputs for direct interface with PWM controllers - deployed in 48-V server power supplies and solar DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the LM25101ASD-1/NOPB datasheet, LM25101ASD-1/NOPB pinout, LM25101ASD-1/NOPB application, or LM25101ASD-1/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap voltage capability (up to 100 V), propagation delay matching (≤10 ns), undervoltage lockout thresholds on both VDD and HB rails, and compatibility with high-frequency switching (>500 kHz) in isolated gate-drive topologies.
Technical Context
The LM25101ASD-1/NOPB integrates a robust level shifter enabling clean, high-speed signal translation from logic-ground-referenced HI/LI inputs to the HS-referenced HO output, with ≤3 ns typical delay mismatch between HO and LO paths. Its internal bootstrap diode (VF = 0.85 V typ at 100 mA) eliminates need for external fast-recovery diodes in many designs.
Independent TTL-input control logic allows full four-quadrant switching state management (including shoot-through prevention via external logic), while dual UVLO circuits monitor VDD (6.9 V rising threshold) and HB–HS (6.6 V rising threshold) separately - disabling HO during bootstrap under-voltage without affecting LO operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 3 A sourcing/sinking - drives 1000-pF gate loads with 8-ns rise/fall times at 12-V supply. |
| Bootstrap Voltage Range | Up to 100 V DC - enables high-side operation in 48-V and 60-V bus systems with margin. |
| Propagation Delay | 22–56 ns (typ 25 ns) - supports >1-MHz switching with tight timing control. |
| Delay Matching | ≤10 ns max (typ 3 ns) - minimizes dead-time uncertainty in synchronous rectification. |
| UVLO Thresholds | VDD: 6.9 V (±0.5 V hysteresis); HB–HS: 6.6 V (±0.4 V hysteresis) - prevents erratic switching during brownout. |
| Input Logic Type | TTL-compatible - interfaces directly with 3.3-V or 5-V PWM controllers without level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and telecom power applications. |
Pinout & Package
LM25101ASD-1/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD (3 mm × 3 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJB = 15.1°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive gate drive supply rail | 12-V nominal input; powers low-side driver and logic; requires local 1-µF low-ESR decoupling to VSS. |
| HB | High-side bootstrap rail | Connects to positive terminal of bootstrap capacitor; referenced to HS; supports up to 100-V differential. |
| HO | High-side gate driver output | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; output referenced to HS pin; must route with minimal inductance. |
| HS | High-side MOSFET source node | Return path for bootstrap capacitor; connects to source of high-side N-MOSFET and negative capacitor terminal. |
| HI | High-side input control | TTL-level input (VIL ≤ 1.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.3 V); unused pin must be tied to VSS. |
| LI | Low-side input control | TTL-level input with same thresholds as HI; independent of HI for flexible phase control. |
| LO | Low-side gate driver output | Drives low-side MOSFET gate; referenced to VSS; complements HO in half-bridge switching. |
| VSS | Ground return | Logic and power ground reference; all signals referenced to this node; connect thermal pad here. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Eliminates external fast-recovery diode in most designs; VF = 0.85 V @ 100 mA reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Independent HI/LI control | Enables full four-state operation (HO/LO = H/L, L/H, H/H, L/L) for active-clamp, synchronous buck, and phase-shifted topologies. |
| Matched HO/LO propagation | ≤3 ns typical delay mismatch ensures precise dead-time control and minimizes shoot-through risk. |
| Dual-rail UVLO protection | Separate monitoring of VDD and HB–HS prevents high-side misfire during bootstrap charging failure. |
| Thermal-enhanced PowerPAD | Exposed pad lowers junction-to-board thermal resistance to 15.1°C/W - critical for sustained 3-A drive in compact layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage half-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5101AMX/NOPB | Higher 4-A peak current; wider 8–14-V VDD range; no integrated bootstrap diode. | Better suited for >20-A power stages; requires external bootstrap diode and tighter layout for noise immunity. | Select when higher gate current or extended VDD range is required; avoid if BOM simplification is priority. |
| UCC27211DRCR | 3-A drive; 120-V bootstrap rating; split outputs (HO/LO) with enable pin; no UVLO on HB rail. | Supports higher bus voltages (e.g., 96-V systems); lacks HB–HS UVLO - requires external monitoring for bootstrap integrity. | Choose for ultra-high-voltage bridges where HB UVLO is managed externally; verify bootstrap reliability in transient conditions. |
Compared with LM5101AMX/NOPB and UCC27211DRCR, LM25101ASD-1/NOPB uniquely combines integrated bootstrap diode, dual-rail UVLO, and 3-A drive in an MSOP PowerPAD package - optimizing for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 48-V industrial and solar applications where layout simplicity and fault resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum bootstrap voltage supported by the LM25101ASD-1/NOPB?
The LM25101ASD-1/NOPB supports a maximum bootstrap supply voltage of 100 V DC, measured as the differential voltage between HB and HS pins. This enables reliable high-side gate drive in 48-V and 60-V bus applications with sufficient safety margin, as confirmed in Section 7.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings of the SNVS859C datasheet.
Does the LM25101ASD-1/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LM25101ASD-1/NOPB integrates a bootstrap diode with 0.85-V typical forward voltage at 100 mA, eliminating the need for an external fast-recovery diode in standard configurations. This is explicitly stated in the Features section and validated in Electrical Characteristics Table 7.5 (VDL and VDH parameters).
How does the LM25101ASD-1/NOPB handle undervoltage conditions on the bootstrap rail?
The LM25101ASD-1/NOPB implements dedicated HB–HS undervoltage lockout with a 6.6-V rising threshold and 0.4-V hysteresis. When HB–HS falls below this threshold, only the HO output is disabled - LO remains fully functional, allowing continued low-side operation during bootstrap recharge cycles.
What package type is used for the LM25101ASD-1/NOPB?
The LM25101ASD-1/NOPB uses an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD package (3 mm × 3 mm) with an exposed thermal pad. This is documented in the Device Information table and Pin Configuration section of the SNVS859C datasheet, and the thermal pad must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance.
Can the LM25101ASD-1/NOPB drive both high-side and low-side MOSFETs simultaneously in a synchronous buck converter?
Yes, the LM25101ASD-1/NOPB is specifically designed for synchronous buck topologies, driving both high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs with independent HI and LI inputs. Its logic table (Table 4) confirms complementary HO/LO states, and its 3-A peak current supports fast gate charging of typical buck-stage MOSFETs.
