Product details
Overview
LM5101ASD-1/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a TTL-input, 3-A peak high-side and low-side gate driver IC for synchronous buck and half-bridge power converters. It delivers 3-A peak sourcing/sinking current per output, supports bootstrap supply up to 118 V DC, achieves 25-ns typical propagation delay, and integrates a fast-recovery bootstrap diode - enabling robust N-channel MOSFET drive in high-voltage industrial motor drives and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM5101ASD-1/NOPB datasheet, LM5101ASD-1/NOPB pinout, LM5101ASD-1/NOPB application, or LM5101ASD-1/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL input threshold compatibility (1.3–2.3 V), independent HI/LI logic control, 100-V HS node capability, UVLO on both VDD and HB rails, and SO PowerPAD-8 thermal performance with RθJA = 40°C/W.
Technical Context
The LM5101ASD-1/NOPB implements a robust level shifter between the TTL-input HI pin and the floating high-side driver referenced to HS, ensuring clean signal translation at high dV/dt (≤50 V/ns) while maintaining ≤10 ns delay matching between HO and LO paths. Its integrated bootstrap diode (VF = 0.8 V @ 100 mA, trr = 37 ns) enables self-powered high-side operation without external diodes.
Undervoltage lockout operates independently on VDD (6.0–7.4 V rising threshold) and HB (5.7–7.1 V rising threshold), disabling only the affected output stage during fault conditions. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature with full 3-A peak drive capability maintained under recommended conditions (VDD = 9–14 V, HB = VHS + 8 to VHS + 14 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 3 A sourcing/sinking per output - sufficient to drive 1000-pF gate capacitance with 8-ns rise/fall times at 500-kHz switching. |
| Input Threshold Type | TTL-compatible (VIL = 1.3–2.3 V, VIHYS = 50 mV) - ensures reliable interfacing with 3.3-V or 5-V PWM controllers without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay | 22–56 ns (typ. 25 ns) - enables precise timing control in high-frequency (>1-MHz) synchronous buck designs. |
| Bootstrap Voltage Range | Up to 118 V DC - supports high-side operation with VHS up to 100 V, critical for 48-V and 60-V bus telecom and industrial converters. |
| UVLO Thresholds | VDD: 6.0–7.4 V; HB: 5.7–7.1 V - prevents erratic switching during brownout or bootstrap capacitor undercharge. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 40°C/W (SO PowerPAD-8) - enables 3-A continuous drive at 125°C ambient with minimal heatsinking. |
| Switching Speed | 8 ns rise/fall time into 1000-pF load - minimizes switching losses in high-efficiency power stages. |
Pinout & Package
LM5101ASD-1/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ package (body size 3.90 mm × 4.89 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive gate drive supply input | Supplies low-side driver and internal logic; must be locally decoupled to VSS with low-ESR/ESL capacitor. |
| HB | High-side bootstrap supply input | Connects to positive terminal of bootstrap capacitor; internal diode charges capacitor when HS ≈ 0 V. |
| HO | High-side gate driver output | Drives high-side MOSFET gate referenced to HS; requires short, low-inductance PCB trace. |
| HS | High-side source reference node | Connects to bootstrap capacitor negative terminal and high-side MOSFET source; floats with switching node. |
| LO | Low-side gate driver output | Drives low-side MOSFET gate referenced to VSS; capable of 3-A peak sink/source into capacitive loads. |
| VSS | Ground return | Common reference for all signals; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management. |
| HI | High-side logic input | TTL-compatible control input (1.3–2.3 V threshold); unused pins must be tied to ground. |
| LI | Low-side logic input | TTL-compatible control input (1.3–2.3 V threshold); independent of HI for asymmetric drive 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 layout reliability. |
| Independent HI/LI inputs | Enables non-overlapping drive, dead-time insertion, and asymmetric PWM schemes without external logic. |
| Matched propagation delays | ≤10 ns HO/LO delay mismatch - preserves precise timing in phase-shifted and synchronous rectifier topologies. |
| Dual-rail UVLO protection | Separate VDD and HB monitoring - prevents shoot-through by disabling only the affected output during undervoltage. |
| Robust level shifter | Operates at ≤50 V/ns dV/dt with low power consumption - ensures noise-immune high-side control in noisy power environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side/low-side gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5101BSD-1/NOPB | 2-A peak output current; identical pinout, TTL inputs, and SO PowerPAD-8 package. | Lower gate drive strength suits <1000-pF loads or lower-frequency (<500-kHz) converters. | Select when 2-A peak suffices and thermal budget allows higher RθJA (80°C/W for same package variant). |
| UCC27211DR | 3-A peak, 5-V CMOS inputs, no integrated bootstrap diode, SOIC-8 package (RθJA = 170°C/W). | Requires external bootstrap diode and tighter layout for noise immunity; suited for cost-sensitive, non-thermal-constrained designs. | Choose when CMOS logic interface is preferred and external diode integration is acceptable for BOM flexibility. |
Compared with LM5101BSD-1/NOPB, LM5101ASD-1/NOPB delivers 50% higher peak current for faster turn-on of large gate capacitances; versus UCC27211DR, it eliminates a discrete diode and offers superior thermal performance but requires TTL-level inputs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable HS node voltage for LM5101ASD-1/NOPB?
The LM5101ASD-1/NOPB supports HS node voltages up to 100 V, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This rating enables use in 48-V and 60-V bus systems where the high-side switch sees full input voltage during off-state. Exceeding 100 V may violate absolute maximum ratings and compromise reliability.
Does LM5101ASD-1/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, LM5101ASD-1/NOPB integrates a high-voltage bootstrap diode (anode to VDD, cathode to HB) with 0.8-V forward drop at 100 mA and 37-ns reverse recovery time. This eliminates the need for an external diode, simplifying layout and reducing component count in half-bridge and synchronous buck designs.
What is the input logic compatibility of LM5101ASD-1/NOPB?
LM5101ASD-1/NOPB features TTL-compatible inputs with VIL = 1.3–2.3 V (rising edge) and 50-mV hysteresis. It interfaces directly with 3.3-V and 5-V microcontrollers, DSPs, and PWM controllers without level-shifting circuitry - unlike CMOS-input variants such as LM5100A.
How does the dual UVLO function in LM5101ASD-1/NOPB?
LM5101ASD-1/NOPB implements independent UVLO on VDD (6.0–7.4 V threshold) and HB (5.7–7.1 V threshold). A VDD UVLO disables both HO and LO outputs; an HB UVLO disables only HO, preserving low-side control during bootstrap capacitor faults - preventing shoot-through while maintaining system responsiveness.
What thermal performance can be expected from the SO PowerPAD-8 package of LM5101ASD-1/NOPB?
The SO PowerPAD-8 package of LM5101ASD-1/NOPB achieves RθJA = 40°C/W on a standard 4-layer PCB with thermal vias under the exposed pad. This allows sustained 3-A peak drive at 125°C junction temperature with ≤40°C ambient rise, making it suitable for compact, convection-cooled industrial power modules.
