Product details
Overview
LM5110-1MX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual noninverting 5-A compound gate driver IC for high-speed N-channel MOSFET switching in power converters. It delivers 5-A sink / 3-A source peak current per channel, supports negative VGS drive down to −4 V relative to IN_REF, and achieves 25-ns typical propagation delay with 14-ns rise/12-ns fall times into 2-nF load - enabling efficient synchronous rectification in high-frequency SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the LM5110-1MX/NOPB datasheet, LM5110-1MX/NOPB pinout, LM5110-1MX/NOPB application, or LM5110-1MX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dual noninverting logic configuration, SOIC-8 package compatibility with industry-standard gate drivers, independent TTL-compatible inputs, and split-supply capability via dedicated IN_REF and VEE pins.
Technical Context
The LM5110-1MX/NOPB implements a compound output stage combining parallel MOS and bipolar transistors per channel: the bipolar device delivers high peak current near MOSFET threshold voltage, while MOS devices ensure rail-to-rail swing from VCC to VEE. This architecture reduces output current variation across temperature (−40°C to +125°C) and supply voltage (3.5 V to 14 V).
Its dual noninverting configuration (–1 variant) enables direct PWM signal buffering without inversion, while separate IN_REF (input ground) and VEE (output ground) pins allow single-supply operation (IN_REF = VEE = system GND) or split-supply operation (VEE biased negative relative to IN_REF) for robust MOSFET turn-off with negative gate bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Configuration | Dual noninverting - preserves input logic polarity on both OUT_A and OUT_B for direct PWM interface. |
| Peak Sink/Source Current | 5 A sink / 3 A source per channel - drives large gate capacitances (e.g., >2 nF) with fast switching transitions. |
| Propagation Delay | 25 ns typical (IN to OUT) - enables precise timing control in high-frequency (>1 MHz) power stages. |
| Rise/Fall Time | 14 ns / 12 ns into 2-nF load - minimizes switching losses in hard-switched topologies. |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC to IN_REF: 3.5 V to 14 V - supports 5 V, 12 V, and 15 V gate drive rails with 1-V margin below absolute max. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.9 V rising (VCC–IN_REF), 230 mV hysteresis - prevents erratic operation during brown-out conditions. |
| Shutdown Current | 25 µA max at nSHDN = 0 V - enables low-power fault recovery or soft-start sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
LM5110-1MX/NOPB is housed in an SOIC-8 package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm) with exposed pad thermal enhancement. Pin 1 (IN_REF) is a dedicated input ground reference, distinct from VEE (pin 3), enabling true split-supply operation.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN_REF) | Input ground reference | Reference point for TTL-compatible IN_A/IN_B thresholds; connects to controller ground in split-supply mode or to VEE in single-supply mode. |
| 2 (IN_A) | Channel A input | TTL-compatible logic input (VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V); internal 18-µA pull-down ensures defined state when unused. |
| 3 (VEE) | Output power ground | Return path for OUT_A/OUT_B current; can be biased up to −4 V relative to IN_REF for negative gate drive. |
| 4 (IN_B) | Channel B input | Independent TTL-compatible input identical to IN_A; supports asynchronous or complementary drive. |
| 5 (SHDN) | Shutdown control | Active-low TTL input (VSDR = 0.8–1.5 V); pulls <25 µA in shutdown, disabling both outputs. |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive supply | Drives totem-pole outputs; requires local 100-nF + 220-nF ceramic bypass between VCC–IN_REF and VCC–VEE. |
| 7 (OUT_A) | Channel A output | Compound driver output swinging from VCC to VEE; capable of 5-A sink/3-A source into capacitive loads. |
| 8 (OUT_B) | Channel B output | Identical to OUT_A; channels may be paralleled (inputs and outputs tied) to deliver 10-A sink/6-A source. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Compound CMOS/Bipolar Output Stage | Combines MOS (rail-to-rail swing) and bipolar (high threshold-region current) devices to maintain stable drive strength across voltage and temperature. |
| Dedicated IN_REF Pin | Enables clean separation between logic-reference ground and high-current output ground - critical for noise immunity in mixed-signal power systems. |
| Negative VGS Drive Capability | VEE can be biased up to −4 V relative to IN_REF, ensuring reliable MOSFET turn-off under high dv/dt or elevated junction temperature. |
| Parallel Operation Support | IN_A/IN_B and OUT_A/OUT_B can be shorted on PCB to double peak current (10-A sink), with <1% efficiency penalty vs dual-channel mode. |
| UVLO with Hysteresis | Prevents oscillatory behavior during supply ramp-up/down by holding outputs disabled until VCC–IN_REF exceeds 2.9 V with 230-mV hysteresis. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC27524ADR | Dual noninverting, 5-A sink/2.5-A source, no negative VEE capability, SOIC-8, 17-ns rise time. | Lacks split-supply support; unsuitable for negative gate bias applications requiring robust turn-off. | Select when only positive-only gate drive is needed and cost sensitivity outweighs negative-bias requirement. |
| LM5109BMX/NOPB | Dual noninverting, 1-A sink/1-A source, SOIC-8, no UVLO, no shutdown, 45-ns propagation delay. | Lower drive strength and slower timing limit use to low-frequency (<200 kHz), low-capacitance gate loads. | Select for cost-constrained, low-power auxiliary supplies where full 5-A capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with UCC27524ADR and LM5109BMX/NOPB, LM5110-1MX/NOPB uniquely combines 5-A peak sink current, negative VGS capability, and 25-ns propagation delay in SOIC-8 - making it the only option among the three qualified for high-frequency synchronous rectification with enhanced reliability under transient stress.

FAQ
What is the logic configuration of LM5110-1MX/NOPB?
The LM5110-1MX/NOPB features a dual noninverting output configuration: both OUT_A and OUT_B follow the logic state of their respective inputs (IN_A and IN_B) without inversion. This matches directly to standard PWM controller outputs and eliminates the need for external inverters in most synchronous rectifier and half-bridge applications. The –1 suffix explicitly denotes this noninverting behavior per the TI LM5110 device options table.
Can LM5110-1MX/NOPB drive MOSFET gates with negative voltage?
Yes, LM5110-1MX/NOPB supports negative gate drive by biasing VEE below IN_REF - up to −4 V relative to IN_REF - while maintaining VCC–VEE ≤ 14 V. This enables active pull-down of the MOSFET gate during turn-off, improving immunity to dv/dt-induced false turn-on in high-noise environments. The dedicated IN_REF and VEE pins provide galvanic separation essential for this functionality.
What is the maximum recommended capacitive load for LM5110-1MX/NOPB?
LM5110-1MX/NOPB is characterized for 2-nF load in its switching specifications (25-ns propagation, 14-ns rise), but supports larger loads in practice. TI's typical curves show stable operation up to 2200 pF with <30-ns rise/fall times. For loads exceeding 2.2 nF, parallel operation of both channels is recommended to maintain slew rate and reduce gate charge time without compromising timing accuracy.
Does LM5110-1MX/NOPB include undervoltage lockout protection?
Yes, LM5110-1MX/NOPB integrates an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that monitors VCC relative to IN_REF. Outputs are disabled when VCC–IN_REF falls below 2.3 V (rising threshold), and resume operation above 2.9 V, with 230-mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during supply transients. This protects downstream MOSFETs from partial turn-on and ensures reliable startup sequencing.
Is LM5110-1MX/NOPB pin-compatible with other industry-standard gate drivers?
LM5110-1MX/NOPB uses the SOIC-8 footprint of standard gate drivers, but differs in pin 1 function: IN_REF replaces the NC or VSS found on legacy parts. To achieve drop-in compatibility, connect IN_REF (pin 1) to VEE (pin 3) on the PCB - matching the pinout of conventional single-supply drivers while retaining full LM5110-1MX/NOPB functionality in that configuration.
