Product details
Overview
LM5100BMA/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel high-voltage gate driver IC designed to independently control high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs in synchronous buck and half-bridge topologies. It delivers 2-A peak source/sink current, supports bootstrap supply up to 118 V DC, achieves 25-ns typical propagation delay, and features CMOS-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 4.5–6.3 V). It is used in industrial DC/DC converters where robust level shifting and rail-to-rail output drive are required.
For engineers reviewing the LM5100BMA/NOPB datasheet, LM5100BMA/NOPB pinout, LM5100BMA/NOPB application, or LM5100BMA/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap diode integration, 100-V HS node capability, UVLO on both VDD and HB rails, propagation delay matching ≤10 ns, and SO PowerPAD-8 thermal performance with RθJA = 40°C/W.
Technical Context
The LM5100BMA/NOPB integrates a monolithic high-voltage bootstrap diode (VF = 0.52–0.85 V) and a robust level shifter enabling clean, low-power transitions from logic-level inputs to the floating high-side driver referenced to HS. Its independent HI/LI inputs accept CMOS thresholds, and its outputs drive 1000-pF loads with 8-ns rise/fall times.
Undervoltage lockout operates separately on VDD (6.0–7.4 V rising threshold) and HB (5.7–7.1 V), ensuring safe startup and preventing shoot-through during brownout. The device sustains HS-to-VSS voltages up to 100 V and HB-to-VSS up to 118 V, supporting wide-input industrial power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 2 A source/sink - sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge 1000-pF gate capacitance in high-frequency switching applications. |
| Propagation Delay | 20–45 ns (typ) - enables precise timing control in >1-MHz synchronous buck converters without skew-induced dead-time errors. |
| Delay Matching | ≤10 ns (tMON/tMOFF) - ensures tight overlap control between HO and LO edges, minimizing cross-conduction risk in bridge configurations. |
| Bootstrap Diode VF | 0.52 V @ 100 µA / 0.8 V @ 100 mA - low forward drop maintains efficient bootstrap capacitor recharge across temperature and load. |
| VDD UVLO Threshold | 6.0–7.4 V rising - prevents erratic operation during input rail ramp-up and provides 0.5-V hysteresis for noise immunity. |
| HS Voltage Range | –1 V to +100 V - accommodates fast-switching nodes in hard-switched topologies with body-diode clamping and layout-induced ringing. |
| Package Thermal RθJA | 40°C/W (SO PowerPAD-8) - enables 2-A continuous drive at 125°C junction temperature with minimal heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
LM5100BMA/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ package with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane. Pin 1 = VDD, Pin 2 = HB, Pin 3 = HO, Pin 4 = HS, Pin 5 = HI, Pin 6 = LI, Pin 7 = VSS, Pin 8 = LO.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive gate drive supply | Input for low-side driver and bootstrap diode anode; must be locally decoupled to VSS with low-ESR capacitor. |
| HB | Bootstrap supply input | Connects to positive terminal of bootstrap capacitor; supplies high-side driver stage referenced to HS. |
| HO | High-side gate driver output | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET; voltage measured relative to HS, not VSS. |
| HS | High-side source reference | Return node for high-side driver; connects to bootstrap capacitor negative terminal and MOSFET source. |
| HI | High-side input control | CMOS-threshold digital input (4.5–6.3 V); unused pins must be tied to VSS to prevent floating. |
| LI | Low-side input control | CMOS-threshold digital input (4.5–6.3 V); independent of HI for flexible PWM or complementary control. |
| VSS | Ground return | Reference for low-side driver, logic inputs, and decoupling; must connect to solid ground plane under exposed pad. |
| LO | Low-side gate driver output | Drives gate of low-side N-MOSFET; voltage measured relative to VSS. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Eliminates external diode, reduces BOM count, and ensures matched recovery (tBS = 37 ns) with driver timing. |
| Independent HI/LI inputs | Enables non-complementary PWM schemes (e.g., active clamp, phase-shifted full-bridge) without external logic. |
| Dual-rail UVLO | Separate VDD and HB monitoring prevents high-side misfire during bootstrap capacitor discharge or supply sag. |
| Robust level shifter | Provides <3-ns delay mismatch between HO and LO paths while operating up to 100-V HS potential. |
| SO PowerPAD-8 package | Delivers 40°C/W thermal resistance and enhanced EMI performance via low-inductance exposed ground pad. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage dual gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5101BMA/NOPB | TTL input thresholds (VIL = 1.3–2.3 V), same 2-A drive and package | Better suited for legacy 5-V controller interfaces; requires pull-down resistors if driven from 3.3-V logic | Select when interfacing with 5-V microcontrollers or FPGA I/O banks with TTL-compatible outputs |
| UCC27201D | 2-A drive, 120-V HS rating, but no integrated bootstrap diode; SOIC-8 (no PowerPAD) | Requires external bootstrap diode and has higher RθJA (170°C/W), limiting thermal headroom at full load | Choose only if existing design uses SOIC-8 footprint and external diode is acceptable for cost or layout reasons |
Compared with LM5101BMA/NOPB, the LM5100BMA/NOPB offers higher noise immunity via CMOS thresholds and eliminates external diode dependency; versus UCC27201D, it delivers superior thermal performance and system-level integration at the cost of slightly larger SO PowerPAD footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the HS pin of the LM5100BMA/NOPB?
The LM5100BMA/NOPB supports HS-to-VSS voltages from –1 V to +100 V under recommended operating conditions. Absolute maximum rating is 100 V, with transient tolerance up to VDD – 15 V for negative excursions. This enables use in hard-switched topologies where HS node experiences fast dV/dt and body-diode clamping.
Does the LM5100BMA/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No. The LM5100BMA/NOPB integrates a high-voltage bootstrap diode with 0.52-V forward voltage at 100 µA and 37-ns reverse recovery time. This eliminates the need for an external diode, simplifying layout, reducing component count, and ensuring timing-matched bootstrap recharge in high-frequency applications.
What is the input logic threshold type for the LM5100BMA/NOPB?
The LM5100BMA/NOPB uses CMOS-compatible input thresholds: VIL = 4.5–6.3 V (rising edge) with 500-mV hysteresis. This allows direct interfacing with 5-V microcontrollers, DSPs, and PWM controllers without level shifting, unlike TTL-input variants such as LM5101BMA/NOPB.
How does the UVLO function on the HB rail affect operation of the LM5100BMA/NOPB?
The HB UVLO (5.7–7.1 V rising threshold) disables only the high-side output (HO) when bootstrap voltage falls below threshold-leaving low-side operation (LO) unaffected. This prevents shoot-through during startup or transient dropout while maintaining controller communication and fault signaling via LI/HI pins.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM5100BMA/NOPB in SO PowerPAD-8 package?
In standard 4-layer PCB layout with exposed pad soldered to internal ground plane, the LM5100BMA/NOPB achieves RθJA = 40°C/W. At 2-A peak drive and 12-V VDD, this allows sustained operation at 125°C junction temperature with <10°C ambient rise-enabling compact, fanless industrial power designs.
