Product details
Overview
LM5100AMR/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3-A, high-voltage dual-channel gate driver IC designed to independently control high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs in synchronous buck and half-bridge topologies. It features CMOS-input logic thresholds, 118-V bootstrap supply capability, 25-ns typical propagation delay, and integrated bootstrap diode - enabling robust operation in industrial DC/DC converters up to 100 V HS node voltage.
For engineers reviewing the LM5100AMR/NOPB datasheet, LM5100AMR/NOPB pinout, LM5100AMR/NOPB application, or LM5100AMR/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include bootstrap diode forward voltage (0.52 V @ 100 µA), UVLO rising thresholds (VDD: 6.9 V, HB: 6.6 V), propagation delay matching (≤10 ns), and SO PowerPAD-8 package thermal resistance (RθJA = 40 °C/W).
Technical Context
The LM5100AMR/NOPB integrates a high-speed level shifter that references the high-side driver to the HS node, enabling clean switching transitions with minimal delay mismatch (<10 ns) between HO and LO outputs. Its bootstrap diode (VF = 0.52 V typ. @ 100 µA) charges the external capacitor during each low-side conduction phase, sustaining gate drive for the floating high-side output.
Undervoltage lockout operates independently on VDD and HB–HS rails: VDD UVLO triggers full output disable, while HB UVLO disables only HO. The device supports TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs (CMOS for LM5100x series), with input hysteresis of 500 mV and pulldown resistance of 200 kΩ (typ.), ensuring noise immunity in noisy power environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 3 A sourcing/sinking - drives 1000-pF loads with 8-ns rise/fall times for fast MOSFET switching and reduced switching losses. |
| Bootstrap Supply Voltage | Up to 118 V DC - enables high-side operation with HS node up to 100 V, supporting wide-input industrial and telecom DC/DC designs. |
| Propagation Delay | 20–45 ns (typ.) - ensures precise timing control in high-frequency (>500 kHz) synchronous rectification and bridge configurations. |
| UVLO Thresholds | VDD rising: 6.9 V; HB rising: 6.6 V - prevents erratic gate drive during brownout or startup, with 0.5 V / 0.4 V hysteresis for stable release. |
| Input Logic Type | CMOS threshold - compatible with 3.3-V or 5-V controllers; VIH = 4.5–6.3 V, VIL = 0–1.8 V, eliminating need for level translators. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 40 °C/W (SO PowerPAD-8) - enables >2 W continuous power dissipation at 125°C ambient with proper PCB copper area. |
Pinout & Package
LM5100AMR/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ package with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin functions are validated per TI SNOSAW2Q Rev Q datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive gate drive supply input | 12-V nominal supply rail; must be locally decoupled to VSS with low-ESR capacitor near IC for stable LO/HO operation. |
| HB | High-side bootstrap supply terminal | Connects to positive terminal of bootstrap capacitor; internal diode charges capacitor when HS ≈ GND. |
| HO | High-side gate driver output | Drives high-side MOSFET gate referenced to HS node; capable of 3-A peak current into capacitive load. |
| HS | High-side source reference node | Connects to bootstrap capacitor negative terminal and high-side MOSFET source; floats up to +100 V relative to VSS. |
| LO | Low-side gate driver output | Drives low-side MOSFET gate referenced to VSS; 3-A peak current, 0.12-V VOL @ 100 mA ensures strong turn-off. |
| VSS | Ground return | Common reference for all signals; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
| HI | High-side input control | CMOS-compatible logic input; unused HI must be tied to VSS to prevent floating and unintended switching. |
| LI | Low-side input control | CMOS-compatible logic input; independent of HI, enabling non-overlapping or complementary PWM control schemes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diode | 0.52-V forward drop @ 100 µA enables efficient bootstrap capacitor recharge without external diode, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Independent HI/LI inputs | Full logic control freedom - supports non-overlapping, complementary, or asymmetric PWM schemes without internal cross-conduction risk. |
| Robust level shifter | Operates up to 100-V HS swing with <10-ns delay matching between HO and LO, critical for minimizing shoot-through in bridge topologies. |
| Dual-rail UVLO | Separate VDD and HB–HS monitoring prevents partial operation: VDD UVLO disables both outputs; HB UVLO disables HO only. |
| SO PowerPAD-8 package | 40 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance with exposed pad - delivers 2× thermal performance vs standard SOIC-8 for high-power density designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage dual-channel gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5101AMR/NOPB | TTL input thresholds (VIH = 1.8 V), 3-A output, same SO PowerPAD-8 package and pinout. | Better suited for legacy 5-V microcontrollers or logic families requiring lower VIH; higher IDD (0.25 mA vs 0.1 mA quiescent). | Select LM5101AMR/NOPB when interfacing with 5-V or TTL-level controllers; otherwise LM5100AMR/NOPB preferred for 3.3-V systems. |
| UCC27201D | 2-A peak output, 120-V bootstrap, SOIC-8 (no PowerPAD), 35-ns propagation delay, no integrated bootstrap diode. | Requires external bootstrap diode; higher RθJA (170 °C/W) limits power handling; suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-current designs. | Choose UCC27201D where thermal budget allows and external diode is acceptable; avoid when >2 A drive or minimal BOM count is required. |
Compared with LM5101AMR/NOPB, LM5100AMR/NOPB offers tighter input thresholds for 3.3-V logic compatibility and lower quiescent current; versus UCC27201D, it delivers higher drive strength, integrated bootstrap diode, and superior thermal performance - making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-density industrial DC/DC designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable HS node voltage for LM5100AMR/NOPB?
The LM5100AMR/NOPB supports HS node voltages up to +100 V relative to VSS, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This enables use in 48-V and 54-V industrial and telecom systems. Transient excursions beyond this limit may cause permanent damage; design must ensure HS remains within –1 V to +100 V under all operating conditions.
Does LM5100AMR/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No. LM5100AMR/NOPB integrates a high-voltage bootstrap diode (anode to VDD, cathode to HB) with 0.52-V forward voltage at 100 µA. This eliminates the need for an external diode, simplifying layout and reducing component count - confirmed in Section 8.3.3 and Electrical Characteristics Table (VDL parameter).
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad on the SO PowerPAD-8 package of LM5100AMR/NOPB?
The exposed thermal pad on LM5100AMR/NOPB must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve its rated RθJA of 40 °C/W. This thermal path dissipates up to 2.5 W continuously at 125°C ambient, preventing thermal shutdown and ensuring reliable operation in high-current gate drive applications.
How does the UVLO function differ between VDD and HB rails in LM5100AMR/NOPB?
LM5100AMR/NOPB implements independent UVLO on both rails: VDD UVLO (6.9 V rising) disables both HO and LO outputs, while HB UVLO (6.6 V rising) disables only HO. This prevents high-side misfiring during bootstrap capacitor undercharge while allowing low-side operation - critical for fault-tolerant half-bridge designs.
Is LM5100AMR/NOPB pin-compatible with HIP2100 or HIP2101?
Yes. LM5100AMR/NOPB is explicitly documented as pin-compatible with HIP2100 and HIP2101 in the datasheet Feature list. This allows direct replacement in existing designs using those Intersil devices, retaining identical PCB layout, component placement, and interconnects without modification.
