Product details
Overview
LM5100BSD/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3-A high-voltage dual 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 LM5100BSD/NOPB datasheet, LM5100BSD/NOPB pinout, LM5100BSD/NOPB application, or LM5100BSD/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap diode forward voltage (0.52 V @ 100 µA), UVLO rising threshold (6.9 V on VDD), peak sourcing/sinking current (3 A), propagation delay matching (3 ns typical), and SO PowerPAD-8 thermal performance (RθJA = 40 °C/W).
Technical Context
The LM5100BSD/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 tight 3-ns typical delay matching between LO and HO paths. Its floating high-side stage operates with HB–HS up to 118 V DC and supports HS node voltages from –1 V to 100 V.
Undervoltage lockout independently monitors VDD (6.9 V rising threshold) and HB–HS (6.6 V rising threshold), disabling only the affected output during fault conditions. The on-chip bootstrap diode (VF = 0.52 V @ 100 µA, trr = 37 ns) eliminates external diode requirements while ensuring reliable capacitor recharge across switching cycles.
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 |
| Bootstrap Supply Voltage | Up to 118 V DC - enables high-side operation with 100-V HS node in buck/half-bridge converters |
| Propagation Delay | 25 ns typical - ensures precise timing control in high-frequency (>500 kHz) power stages |
| Delay Matching | 3 ns typical - minimizes shoot-through risk by synchronizing LO/HO turn-on/off edges |
| VDD UVLO Threshold | 6.9 V rising (25°C), 6.0 V min - prevents erratic operation during brownout or startup |
| Input Logic Type | CMOS threshold - compatible with 3.3-V/5-V controllers without level-shifting circuitry |
| Package Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 40 °C/W (SO PowerPAD-8) - supports >2 W continuous dissipation with standard PCB layout |
Pinout & Package
LM5100BSD/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ package with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin 1 is VDD; pin 2 is HB; pin 3 is HO; pin 4 is HS; pin 5 is HI; pin 6 is LI; pin 7 is VSS; pin 8 is LO.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Positive gate drive supply input | Local decoupling required; powers low-side driver and logic; UVLO monitored independently |

| HS (Pin 4) | High-side source connection | Node between external high-side MOSFET source and bootstrap capacitor negative terminal |
| HI (Pin 5) | High-side input control | CMOS-threshold logic input; unused pins must be tied to GND to prevent floating |
| LI (Pin 6) | Low-side input control | CMOS-threshold logic input; independent of HI for flexible PWM or complementary drive schemes |
| VSS (Pin 7) | Ground return | Reference for all signals except HO; exposed thermal pad must be connected to PCB ground plane |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5101BSD/NOPB | TTL input thresholds (1.8 V VIH), lower peak current (3 A same, but higher VOL/VOH), identical pinout and package | Better compatibility with legacy 5-V TTL logic; slightly higher gate drive loss due to 0.24-V VOH at 100 mA | Select when interfacing with 5-V microcontrollers or PWM ICs with TTL outputs; verify VIH/VIL margins. |
| UCC27201D | Higher 4-A peak current, 12-V max VDD, no integrated bootstrap diode, SOIC-8 (no PowerPAD) | Requires external bootstrap diode and tighter thermal design; suited for lower-voltage (<60 V) applications with aggressive switching | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where external diode is acceptable and thermal budget permits RθJA = 170 °C/W. |
Compared with LM5101BSD/NOPB, LM5100BSD/NOPB offers superior noise immunity via CMOS thresholds and lower gate drive losses; versus UCC27201D, it provides integrated bootstrap functionality and superior thermal performance but targets higher-voltage systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable HS node voltage for LM5100BSD/NOPB?
The LM5100BSD/NOPB supports HS node voltages from –1 V to 100 V per datasheet Section 7.3. This range accommodates typical body-diode clamping in buck/half-bridge configurations and allows operation with 400-V bus designs using auxiliary winding bias. Transient excursions below –1 V must not exceed VDD – 15 V to avoid damage.
Does LM5100BSD/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No. LM5100BSD/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, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability in high-frequency switching applications such as synchronous buck converters.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad on the LM5100BSD/NOPB SO PowerPAD package?
The exposed thermal pad on the LM5100BSD/NOPB must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to achieve the specified RθJA of 40 °C/W. It serves as the primary thermal path for dissipating up to 2 W of power, enabling sustained 3-A peak gate drive without external heatsinks in standard 4-layer board layouts.
How does the UVLO function differ between the VDD and HB rails in LM5100BSD/NOPB?
LM5100BSD/NOPB implements independent UVLO circuits: VDD UVLO triggers at 6.9 V (rising) and disables both HO and LO; HB–HS UVLO triggers at 6.6 V (rising) and disables only HO. This ensures low-side operation remains active during bootstrap faults, improving system fault tolerance in half-bridge configurations.
Can LM5100BSD/NOPB drive MOSFETs with gate charges exceeding 100 nC?
Yes. With 3-A peak sourcing/sinking current and 8-ns rise/fall times into 1000-pF loads, LM5100BSD/NOPB can efficiently drive MOSFETs with Qg up to ~150 nC at 500-kHz switching frequency. Layout optimization - especially short, low-inductance gate traces - is critical to maintain timing integrity and minimize ringing.
