Product details
Overview
LM5100CMAX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 1-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 thresholds, 100-V HS node capability, integrated bootstrap diode, 25-ns typical propagation delay, and independent UVLO on VDD (6.9 V) and HB (6.6 V). It is used in industrial DC/DC converters requiring robust isolated gate drive.
For engineers reviewing the LM5100CMAX/NOPB datasheet, LM5100CMAX/NOPB pinout, LM5100CMAX/NOPB application, or LM5100CMAX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap diode forward voltage (0.8 V @ 100 mA), peak output current (1 A), propagation delay matching (≤10 ns), thermal resistance (RθJA = 40 °C/W for SO PowerPAD-8), and compatibility with 3.3-V/5-V logic inputs.
Technical Context
The LM5100CMAX/NOPB implements a robust level-shifting architecture that enables clean, high-speed signal translation from ground-referenced logic (HI/LI) to the floating high-side driver referenced to HS. Its integrated bootstrap diode (VDH = 0.8 V, RD = 1.0 Ω) eliminates external components while supporting up to 118-V DC bootstrap supply.
UVLO circuitry operates independently on VDD and HB rails-VDD UVLO triggers at 6.9 V (typ) with 0.5-V hysteresis, while HB UVLO activates at 6.6 V (typ) with 0.4-V hysteresis-ensuring safe startup and preventing shoot-through during brownout conditions. The device supports TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs but LM5100CMAX/NOPB specifically uses CMOS thresholds (VIL = 4.5–6.3 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 1 A sourcing/sinking - sufficient to drive 1000-pF gate capacitance with 8-ns rise/fall times under load. |
| HS Node Voltage Range | −1 V to 100 V - supports high-side operation in buck converters with up to 100-V input rails. |
| Bootstrap Supply Max | 118 V DC - enables use with high-voltage bootstrap configurations without external clamping. |
| Propagation Delay | 20–45 ns (typ) - ensures tight timing control in high-frequency (>500 kHz) switching applications. |
| UVLO Thresholds | VDD: 6.9 V (rising), HB: 6.6 V (rising) - prevents erratic switching during power-up or rail sag. |
| Input Threshold Type | CMOS - compatible with standard 3.3-V or 5-V microcontroller/PWM controller outputs. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 40 °C/W (SO PowerPAD-8) - enables 1-A operation at 125°C junction temperature with proper PCB copper area. |
Pinout & Package
LM5100CMAX/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ (DPR) package with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced thermal dissipation. Pin functions are validated per TI SNOSAW2Q Rev Q datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive gate drive supply input | Primary low-side supply rail; must be locally decoupled to VSS with low-ESR capacitor near IC. |
| HB | Bootstrap supply input | Connects to positive terminal of bootstrap capacitor; internal diode charges capacitor from VDD. |
| HO | High-side gate driver output | Drives high-side MOSFET gate referenced to HS; requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize ringing. |
| HS | High-side source reference | Connects to bootstrap capacitor negative terminal and high-side MOSFET source; defines floating reference for HO. |
| LO | Low-side gate driver output | Drives low-side MOSFET gate referenced to VSS; capable of 1-A peak current into capacitive loads. |
| VSS | Ground return | Common reference for all signals except HO; exposed thermal pad must be connected to this net. |
| HI | High-side input control | CMOS-threshold logic input (4.5–6.3 V); unused pins must be tied to VSS to prevent floating. |
| LI | Low-side input control | CMOS-threshold logic input (4.5–6.3 V); independent of HI for asymmetric PWM or dead-time insertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Bootstrap Diode | Forward voltage 0.8 V @ 100 mA and dynamic resistance 1.0 Ω - eliminates external diode, reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Independent UVLO Protection | Dual-rail monitoring (VDD and HB) with hysteresis - prevents partial turn-on and shoot-through during undervoltage transients. |
| High-Speed Level Shifter | 3-ns typical delay matching between LO and HO - enables precise dead-time control in synchronous rectification. |
| Robust Output Stages | 1-A peak sourcing/sinking with 0.28-V VOL @ 100 mA - ensures strong gate drive even under hot, high-current conditions. |
| Thermally Enhanced Package | SO PowerPAD-8 with RθJA = 40 °C/W - supports continuous 1-A operation with minimal heatsinking on 4-layer PCB. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5101CMX/NOPB | TTL input thresholds (1.3–2.3 V), same 1-A output, identical pinout and package | Better suited for legacy 5-V controllers or noisy environments where lower VIH improves noise immunity | Select when interfacing with 5-V TTL logic or when tighter input hysteresis (50 mV vs 500 mV) is required for marginal signal integrity. |
| UCC27201D | 2-A peak output, 12-V VDD max, no integrated bootstrap diode, SOIC-8 package | Requires external bootstrap diode and higher VDD decoupling; optimized for lower-voltage, higher-current apps | Choose when >1-A gate drive is needed and external diode integration is acceptable; not drop-in due to missing bootstrap diode. |
Compared with LM5100CMAX/NOPB, LM5101CMX/NOPB offers lower input thresholds for TTL systems but lacks the 500-mV hysteresis beneficial in noisy industrial settings; UCC27201D delivers higher current but increases BOM count and layout complexity due to missing integrated diode and stricter VDD limit.

FAQ
What is the maximum bootstrap supply voltage supported by LM5100CMAX/NOPB?
The LM5100CMAX/NOPB supports a maximum bootstrap supply voltage of 118 V DC, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows operation with high-input-voltage topologies such as 48-V or 60-V industrial DC/DC converters without external clamping. The internal bootstrap diode is rated for this voltage, and HB-to-VSS stress must remain within this limit to avoid damage.
Does LM5100CMAX/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, LM5100CMAX/NOPB does not require an external bootstrap diode-the device integrates a high-voltage diode (anode to VDD, cathode to HB) with 0.8-V forward voltage at 100 mA and 37-ns reverse recovery time. This eliminates one external component, reduces layout area, and improves reliability in high-frequency synchronous buck designs.
What is the input logic threshold type for LM5100CMAX/NOPB?
LM5100CMAX/NOPB uses CMOS-compatible input thresholds: VIL (rising) is 4.5–6.3 V over temperature, with 500-mV hysteresis. This makes it directly compatible with standard 5-V microcontrollers and PWM controllers without level shifting, unlike the TTL-input LM5101x variants which accept 1.3–2.3 V logic levels.
How does the UVLO protection work on LM5100CMAX/NOPB?
LM5100CMAX/NOPB implements independent UVLO on both VDD and HB rails: VDD UVLO triggers at 6.9 V (typ) with 0.5-V hysteresis, disabling both HO and LO; HB UVLO activates at 6.6 V (typ) with 0.4-V hysteresis, disabling only HO. This prevents shoot-through during startup or brownout while maintaining low-side functionality if HB fails.
Which package does LM5100CMAX/NOPB use, and what is its thermal performance?
LM5100CMAX/NOPB is supplied in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ (DPR) package with exposed thermal pad. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 40 °C/W on a standard 4-layer PCB-enabling full 1-A output current operation at 125°C junction temperature when the thermal pad is properly soldered to a solid ground plane.
