Product details
Overview
LM5111-1M/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel noninverting MOSFET gate driver IC designed for high-speed, high-current switching in low-side N-channel power stages. It delivers 3-A source and 5-A sink peak current per channel, features TTL-compatible inputs, 25-ns typical propagation delay, and operates from 3.5 V to 14 V supply rails. It is used in synchronous rectifier and switch-mode power supply gate drive applications where fast, robust gate control is required.
For engineers reviewing the LM5111-1M/NOPB datasheet, LM5111-1M/NOPB pinout, LM5111-1M/NOPB application, or LM5111-1M/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include UVLO threshold (2.9 V rising), matched dual-channel timing, compound bipolar-MOS output architecture for stable drive across temperature, and SOIC-8 or MSOP-PowerPAD package thermal performance.
Technical Context
The LM5111-1M/NOPB implements two independent, identical totem-pole output stages combining MOS and bipolar transistors in parallel-enabling rail-to-rail swing (VCC to VEE) while maintaining high peak sink current (5 A) near MOSFET threshold voltage. Its TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) support direct interface with PWM controllers and microcontrollers.
Undervoltage lockout disables both outputs when VCC–VEE falls below 2.9 V (rising), with 230-mV hysteresis; during UVLO, LM5111-1M/NOPB holds both OUTA and OUTB low. The device supports parallel operation of channels to double drive current, with tightly matched propagation delays (<5 ns typical mismatch) enabling synchronized single-load driving without shoot-through risk under fast input transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 3.5 V to 14 V - Supports common gate-drive supplies (5 V, 12 V) with 1-V margin below absolute max (15 V). |
| Peak Sink/Source Current | 5 A sink / 3 A source per channel - Enables rapid charging/discharging of large MOSFET gate charges (e.g., >100 nC) at high frequencies. |
| Propagation Delay | 25 ns typical (IN to OUT, 2-nF load) - Ensures tight timing control in <1-MHz SMPS designs with minimal duty-cycle distortion. |
| Rise/Fall Time | 14 ns rise / 12 ns fall (2-nF load) - Minimizes switching transition losses and EMI generation in high-di/dt power stages. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.9 V (rising), 2.67 V (falling) - Prevents erratic gate drive during brownout; ensures clean startup/shutdown sequencing. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - Direct compatibility with 3.3-V and 5-V logic families without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Resistance (SOIC) | θJA = 112.2 °C/W - Enables ~1.1 W continuous dissipation at TA = 85 °C before reaching TJ(max) = 125 °C. |
Pinout & Package
LM5111-1M/NOPB is available in SOIC-8 (5.00 mm × 6.00 mm) and MSOP-PowerPAD-8 (3.00 mm × 4.90 mm) packages. The exposed thermal pad on MSOP-PowerPAD must be soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 - NC | No Connection | Unbonded pins; must remain unconnected and unstubbed to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
| 2 - IN_A | Channel A Input | TTL-compatible control signal for OUT_A; noninverting logic (high IN_A → high OUT_A). |
| 3 - VEE | Ground Reference | Common return for inputs and outputs; must connect directly to power ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| 4 - IN_B | Channel B Input | TTL-compatible control signal for OUT_B; noninverting logic (high IN_B → high OUT_B). |
| 5 - OUT_B | Channel B Output | High-current totem-pole output (VCC to VEE); drives gate of low-side N-MOSFET or IGBT emitter. |
| 6 - VCC | Positive Supply | Bias rail for output stage; requires local 0.1-µF ceramic + 1-µF bulk capacitor between VCC and VEE. |
| 7 - OUT_A | Channel A Output | High-current totem-pole output (VCC to VEE); electrically identical to OUT_B; supports parallel connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Compound CMOS/Bipolar Output Stage | Combines MOS (rail-to-rail swing) and bipolar (high peak current near VGS(th)) devices to maintain stable drive across voltage/temperature. |
| Dual Noninverting Configuration (LM5111-1) | Both outputs follow input polarity - simplifies control logic in dual low-side topologies (e.g., half-bridge synchronous rectifiers). |
| UVLO with Hysteresis | 2.9 V turn-on / 2.67 V turn-off prevents oscillation during supply ramp-up/down; outputs held low in fault condition. |
| Parallel Channel Operation | IN_A+IN_B tied, OUT_A+OUT_B tied yields 6-A source / 10-A sink capability - enables single high-current gate drive without external combiners. |
| PIN-Compatible with Industry Standards | Pinout matches TC4426/27/28 and UCC27323/4/5 - allows drop-in replacement in existing layouts using SOIC-8 footprint. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-side gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC27324DR | 3-A source / 3-A sink (symmetric), no UVLO hysteresis, higher RDS(on) in pull-down stage. | Lacks 5-A sink capability; less suitable for high-QG MOSFETs or high-temperature operation. | Select UCC27324DR only if symmetric drive and lower cost outweigh need for high sink current and robust UVLO. |
| TC4427ACOA | 1.2-A source/sink, SOIC-8, no UVLO, higher propagation delay (60 ns typical). | Insufficient peak current for >500-kHz SMPS with >50-nC MOSFETs; no supply monitoring. | Choose TC4427ACOA only for low-frequency (<200 kHz), low-power gate drive where thermal headroom is ample. |
Compared with UCC27324DR and TC4427ACOA, LM5111-1M/NOPB provides superior sink current (5 A vs ≤3 A), tighter timing (25 ns vs ≥60 ns), and integrated UVLO with hysteresis-making it the preferred choice for thermally constrained, high-frequency power conversion where MOSFET gate charge exceeds 30 nC.

FAQ
What is the UVLO behavior of LM5111-1M/NOPB during power-up?
During power-up, LM5111-1M/NOPB remains disabled until VCC–VEE reaches 2.9 V (typical rising threshold). Once enabled, it holds both OUTA and OUTB low during UVLO conditions. This ensures safe default-off state for connected N-MOSFETs, preventing unintended conduction in SMPS or motor control circuits. The 230-mV hysteresis prevents chatter near the threshold.
Can LM5111-1M/NOPB drive both channels in parallel to increase current?
Yes, LM5111-1M/NOPB supports parallel operation: tie IN_A to IN_B and OUT_A to OUT_B to achieve 6-A source and 10-A sink capability. Propagation delays are tightly matched (<5 ns typical), minimizing shoot-through risk. TI characterizes efficiency loss at <1% versus dual-channel mode-making it viable for single high-current gate drive applications.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable LM5111-1M/NOPB operation?
LM5111-1M/NOPB requires two VCC–VEE bypass capacitors: a 0.1-µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed immediately adjacent to pins 6 and 3, and a 1-µF (or larger) low-ESR ceramic or tantalum capacitor in parallel. This dual-stage filtering suppresses high-frequency noise and supplies transient peak currents during MOSFET switching events.
Is LM5111-1M/NOPB pin-compatible with other industry-standard gate drivers?
Yes, LM5111-1M/NOPB uses the same SOIC-8 pinout as TC4426/27/28 and UCC27323/4/5. Pin functions (IN_A, IN_B, VEE, VCC, OUT_A, OUT_B, NC) align directly-enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB revision, provided UVLO and drive strength requirements are compatible.
How does the compound output stage of LM5111-1M/NOPB improve performance over standard CMOS drivers?
The compound output stage integrates MOS and bipolar transistors in parallel: the MOS device delivers rail-to-rail voltage swing, while the bipolar device supplies high peak current near the MOSFET's VGS(th) region. This combination reduces output current variation across temperature (–40 °C to +125 °C) and supply voltage (3.5 V–14 V), ensuring consistent gate drive strength in demanding power applications.
