Product details
Overview
LM5109BMA from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage, 1-A peak half-bridge gate driver IC designed to independently control high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs in synchronous buck or half-bridge power converters. It features TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs, 30 ns typical propagation delay, 108-V DC bootstrap supply capability, and dual undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on VDD and HB–HS rails. It operates across –40°C to +125°C and supports industrial motor drives and isolated DC–DC topologies.
For engineers reviewing the LM5109BMA datasheet, LM5109BMA pinout, LM5109BMA application, or LM5109BMA equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world switching performance metrics, and validated alternative options for high-reliability power stage design.
Technical Context
The LM5109BMA integrates a robust level-shifting circuit that enables clean, high-speed logic-to-HO transitions referenced to the floating HS node-critical for reliable high-side drive in 90-V rail applications. Its independent HI/LI inputs allow full control of HO/LO timing, supporting non-overlapping, complementary, or phase-shifted gate drive schemes.
Undervoltage lockout operates separately on VDD (6.7 V rising threshold, 0.5 V hysteresis) and HB–HS (6.6 V rising threshold, 0.4 V hysteresis), ensuring safe startup and fault isolation. The output stages deliver matched 1-A sink/source peak current with ≤2 ns typical propagation delay matching between HO and LO paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Operating Range | 8 V to 14 V - defines minimum bias voltage for stable UVLO release and maximum for SOIC thermal derating |
| HB–HS Max Voltage | 108 V DC - sets absolute upper limit for bootstrap supply, enabling 90-V bridge operation with margin |
| Peak Output Current | 1.0 A sink & source - ensures fast 1000-pF MOSFET gate charging/discharging at ≤15 ns rise/fall times |
| Propagation Delay | 30 ns typical (HI→HO, LI→LO) - enables >1 MHz switching in hard-switched topologies with timing margin |
| Delay Matching | 2 ns typical (tMON/tMOFF) - minimizes shoot-through risk in synchronous rectification without external dead-time control |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V max, VIH = 2.2 V min - guarantees compatibility with 3.3-V and 5-V controllers without level translation |
| UVLO Hysteresis | VDDH = 0.5 V, VHBH = 0.4 V - prevents oscillation during brown-out or bootstrap capacitor droop |
Pinout & Package
LM5109BMA is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size) with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is bottom-left corner when notch faces up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Low-side gate drive supply | Local 8–14 V bias rail; must be decoupled with ≤1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed <1 mm from pin |
| HI | High-side input | TTL/CMOS-compatible logic input; unused pin must be tied to VSS to prevent floating-induced shoot-through |
| LI | Low-side input | Independent TTL/CMOS input; controls LO directly; floating state forces LO low for safety |
| VSS | Power ground reference | Common return for VDD, LI, HI, and LO; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane |
| LO | Low-side gate driver output | 1-A capable output referenced to VSS; connects directly to gate of low-side N-MOSFET |
| HS | High-side source node | Connection point to source of high-side N-MOSFET and negative terminal of bootstrap capacitor |
| HO | High-side gate driver output | 1-A output referenced to HS; drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET; must avoid >–0.3 V swing below HS |
| HB | High-side bootstrap supply | Positive terminal of bootstrap capacitor; supplies HO stage; rated to 108 V DC relative to HS |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent HI/LI control | Enables programmable dead time, burst mode, and asymmetrical PWM without external logic |
| Dual UVLO protection | Prevents partial drive failure: VDD UVLO disables both outputs; HB–HS UVLO disables HO only |
| Robust level shifter | Supports >50 V/ns HS slew rates while maintaining <2 ns HO/LO delay matching |
| 1000-pF load drive | Guarantees 15 ns rise/fall times into full gate capacitance of 10-A-class MOSFETs (e.g., CSD19534KCS) |
| Thermally enhanced SOIC | RθJA = 117.6°C/W enables 0.5 W continuous dissipation at 70°C ambient without heatsink |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage half-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2110PbF | Higher 10–20 V UVLO thresholds; no internal pull-down on inputs; 2.5-A peak output | Requires external input pull-down resistors; better suited for 15-V gate drive systems | Choose IR2110PbF when higher drive strength and 15-V bias are available; LM5109BMA preferred for 12-V systems with tighter layout |
| UCC27211D | 60-V max HB rating; 4-A peak output; integrated bootstrap diode; no HS transient rating spec | Limited to ≤60-V bridge operation; unsuitable for 90-V industrial bus applications | Select UCC27211D for cost-sensitive 24–48-V designs needing higher peak current; LM5109BMA remains optimal for 90-V+ half-bridges |
Compared with IR2110PbF and UCC27211D, LM5109BMA uniquely balances 108-V HB tolerance, 1-A drive, SOIC-8 thermal performance, and dual UVLO-making it the only option qualified for 90-V rail, 500-kHz, thermally constrained industrial half-bridges without layout compromise.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the HB pin of the LM5109BMA relative to HS?
The LM5109BMA supports a maximum HB-to-HS voltage of 108 V DC, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating enables reliable operation with 90-V bridge configurations while maintaining 18-V margin for transient overshoot. Exceeding 108 V risks permanent damage to the high-side level shifter. Designers must ensure the bootstrap capacitor voltage never exceeds this limit under all operating and fault conditions, including startup and load transients.
Does the LM5109BMA require external pull-down resistors on HI and LI inputs?
No, the LM5109BMA includes internal 200-kΩ (typical) pulldown resistors on both HI and LI inputs, as confirmed in Section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics. These resistors ensure a defined low state when inputs are left unconnected, preventing unintended gate drive activation. However, TI strongly recommends tying unused inputs directly to VSS for safety-critical applications to eliminate any risk of noise-induced transitions.
How does the LM5109BMA handle negative voltage transients on the HS pin?
The LM5109BMA tolerates HS node transients down to VDD – 15 V, per Section 6.3 Recommended Operating Conditions. For example, with VDD = 10 V, HS may swing to –5 V transiently. To protect against excessive negative excursions, TI advises placing a Schottky diode between HO and HS pins-located as close as possible to the IC-to clamp HO below HS and prevent parasitic transistor activation and potential IC damage.
What is the purpose of the dual undervoltage lockout (UVLO) in the LM5109BMA?
The LM5109BMA implements independent UVLO circuits for VDD and HB–HS rails. VDD UVLO (6.7 V rising threshold) disables both HO and LO until sufficient low-side supply is present. HB–HS UVLO (6.6 V rising threshold) disables only HO if bootstrap voltage drops-preserving low-side control for safe shutdown or recovery. This dual protection prevents partial drive failures and ensures fail-safe operation during input dips or bootstrap capacitor discharge in half-bridge topologies.
Can the LM5109BMA drive 1000-pF gate loads with specified rise/fall times across temperature?
Yes, the LM5109BMA guarantees ≤15 ns rise and fall times into a 1000-pF capacitive load at TJ = 25°C, as stated in the Features section and verified in Section 6.6 Switching Characteristics. Performance degrades slightly over temperature: typical values remain ≤18 ns at TJ = 125°C per Figure 7 in the datasheet. This ensures consistent MOSFET switching speed across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range, critical for thermal stability in enclosed industrial enclosures.
