Product details
Overview
LM5100BMAX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 2-A high-voltage dual-channel gate driver IC designed to independently control high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs in half-bridge, synchronous buck, and forward converter topologies. It features CMOS input thresholds, 118-V bootstrap supply capability, 25-ns typical propagation delay, and integrated bootstrap diode - enabling robust operation up to 100 V HS node voltage in industrial motor drives and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM5100BMAX/NOPB datasheet, LM5100BMAX/NOPB pinout, LM5100BMAX/NOPB application, or LM5100BMAX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap diode forward voltage (0.8 V @ 100 mA), UVLO thresholds (VDD rising = 6.9 V, HB rising = 6.6 V), propagation delay matching (≤10 ns), thermal resistance (RθJA = 40 °C/W for SO PowerPAD-8), and SOIC-8 package compatibility with HIP2100/HIP2101 layouts.
Technical Context
The LM5100BMAX/NOPB integrates a high-speed level shifter that references the high-side driver to the HS node, enabling clean logic-to-HO transitions while maintaining ≤10 ns delay matching between LO and HO channels. Its floating high-side stage operates with VHB–HS up to 18 V and supports HS voltages from –1 V to 100 V, making it suitable for fast-switching hard-switched converters.
Undervoltage lockout operates independently on VDD and HB rails: VDD UVLO triggers full output disable, while HB UVLO disables only HO. The on-chip bootstrap diode (VF = 0.8 V @ 100 mA, trr = 37 ns) eliminates external diode requirements and ensures reliable capacitor recharge during each switching cycle at frequencies up to 500 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 2 A sourcing/sinking - sufficient to drive 1000-pF gate loads with 8-ns rise/fall times in high-frequency SMPS. |
| Bootstrap Supply Voltage | Up to 118 V DC - enables use with high-bus applications such as 48-V telecom and 100-V industrial DC links. |
| Propagation Delay | 20–45 ns (typ) - ensures precise timing control in <100-ns dead-time critical designs like synchronous rectification. |
| UVLO Thresholds | VDD rising = 6.9 V, HB rising = 6.6 V - prevents erratic switching during brownout or soft-start conditions. |
| Input Threshold Type | CMOS - compatible with 3.3-V/5-V microcontrollers and PWM controllers without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 40 °C/W (SO PowerPAD-8) - supports >2 W continuous dissipation with standard 4-layer PCB layout. |
| Switch Node Range | HS = –1 V to 100 V - accommodates body-diode clamping and transient overshoot in hard-switched bridges. |
Pinout & Package
LM5100BMAX/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC with exposed PowerPAD (DPR package), where the exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance. Pin 7 (VSS) serves as the low-side reference; pin 4 (HS) is the high-side source node connection and functional ground for the floating high-side driver.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Low-side gate drive supply input | Primary power rail for LO stage and internal logic; requires local 0.1-µF low-ESR decoupling to VSS. |
| HB (Pin 2) | High-side bootstrap supply input | Connects to positive terminal of bootstrap capacitor; referenced to HS, not VSS. |
| HO (Pin 3) | High-side gate driver output | Drives high-side MOSFET gate with respect to HS; must route with minimal inductance to avoid ringing. |
| HS (Pin 4) | High-side source node / floating ground | Reference point for HO output and bootstrap capacitor negative terminal; connects directly to MOSFET source. |
| HI (Pin 5) | High-side logic input | CMOS-compatible control signal; unused pins must be tied to VSS to prevent floating inputs. |
| LI (Pin 6) | Low-side logic input | CMOS-compatible control signal; independent of HI for flexible dead-time implementation. |
| VSS (Pin 7) | Low-side ground return | Reference for VDD, LI, LO, and internal logic; must connect to main system ground with low impedance. |
| LO (Pin 8) | Low-side gate driver output | Drives low-side MOSFET gate with respect to VSS; complements HO in half-bridge configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diode | VF = 0.8 V @ 100 mA, trr = 37 ns - eliminates external diode, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability in high-reliability power systems. |
| Independent HI/LI inputs | Full logic-level control of HO and LO - enables asymmetric drive, programmable dead time, and fault recovery sequencing. |
| Robust level shifter | Delay matching ≤10 ns between LO and HO - minimizes shoot-through risk in high-frequency bridge drivers. |
| Dual UVLO protection | Separate VDD and HB monitoring - prevents partial enablement and ensures safe startup under marginal supply conditions. |
| SOIC-8 pin compatibility | P2P replacement for HIP2100/HIP2101 - allows drop-in upgrade path with enhanced 2-A drive and integrated diode. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5100AMAX/NOPB | 3-A peak output current; identical pinout, package, and UVLO thresholds. | Higher gate charge delivery for >1500-pF loads or faster slew rates in >1-MHz resonant converters. | Select when driving larger MOSFETs (Qg > 60 nC) or requiring lower gate drive resistance (<1 Ω). |
| HIP2101BIBZT | No integrated bootstrap diode; TTL input thresholds; RθJA = 65 °C/W (SOIC-8). | Requires external bootstrap diode and level-shifting for 3.3-V controllers; higher thermal impedance limits power density. | Choose only if legacy design reuse is required and external diode placement is acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable HS node voltage for LM5100BMAX/NOPB?
The LM5100BMAX/NOPB supports HS node voltages from –1 V to 100 V per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions. This range accommodates body-diode clamping and transient overshoot in hard-switched bridges. Exceeding 100 V risks permanent damage, as absolute maximum rating for HS to VSS is 100 V.
Does LM5100BMAX/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No. LM5100BMAX/NOPB integrates a high-voltage bootstrap diode (anode to VDD, cathode to HB) with 0.8 V forward voltage at 100 mA and 37 ns reverse recovery time. This eliminates the need for external diodes in most designs, reducing component count and layout complexity while improving reliability.
What is the input threshold type for LM5100BMAX/NOPB?
LM5100BMAX/NOPB uses CMOS input thresholds: VIH ≈ 6.3 V (min), VIL ≈ 4.5 V (max) at 25°C. This makes it compatible with standard 5-V logic and 3.3-V controllers with appropriate pull-up, unlike TTL-input variants (LM5101B) which require ~2 V logic levels.
How does UVLO function on the HB rail in LM5100BMAX/NOPB?
LM5100BMAX/NOPB implements independent UVLO on the HB rail: if HB voltage falls below 6.6 V (rising threshold), only the high-side output (HO) is disabled while LO remains operational. This prevents shoot-through during bootstrap capacitor discharge without halting low-side switching - critical for fault-tolerant operation.
Which package does LM5100BMAX/NOPB use, and what is its thermal advantage?
LM5100BMAX/NOPB uses the SO PowerPAD-8 (DPR) package with an exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground. Its RθJA is 40 °C/W (vs. 170 °C/W for standard SOIC-8), enabling >2 W power dissipation with proper copper pour - significantly improving thermal headroom in compact, high-density power modules.
