Product details
Overview
LM5111-4MY/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, high-current, compound-output gate driver IC designed to independently drive N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs in synchronous rectifier and half-bridge configurations. It delivers 3-A source / 5-A sink peak current per channel, features TTL-compatible inputs, 25-ns typical propagation delay, and UVLO configured for PFET-on/NFET-off safety during undervoltage (VCC–VEE < 2.9 V). It is used in high-frequency switch-mode power supplies where precise timing and robust gate drive are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM5111-4MY/NOPB datasheet, LM5111-4MY/NOPB pinout, LM5111-4MY/NOPB application, or LM5111-4MY/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its unique UVLO behavior (OUT_A high / OUT_B low in lockout), compound CMOS/bipolar output architecture, SOIC-8 and MSOP-PowerPAD package options, thermal performance (RθJA = 112.2°C/W in SOIC), and compatibility with industry-standard drivers like TC4426 and UCC2732x.
Technical Context
The LM5111-4MY/NOPB implements two independent totem-pole output stages, each combining MOS and bipolar transistors in parallel to maintain stable drive current across temperature and voltage. Its logic configuration is fixed: IN_A controls an inverting channel (OUT_A), while IN_B controls a noninverting channel (OUT_B), enabling complementary PFET/NFET drive without external logic inversion.
UVLO is implemented as a differential comparator monitoring VCC–VEE, with rising threshold at 2.9 V and 230-mV hysteresis; unlike LM5111-1/2/3, the -4 variant asserts OUT_A high and holds OUT_B low during UVLO-enabling safe high-side PFET turn-off and low-side NFET turn-on prevention in bootstrap or floating supply topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 3.5 V to 14 V - supports common 5-V, 12-V, and 15-V gate drive rails with 1-V margin below absolute max (15 V) |
| UVLO Threshold (Rising) | 2.9 V typical - ensures reliable disablement before MOSFET threshold voltage is compromised |
| Peak Sink Current | 5 A per channel - enables fast discharge of large gate capacitances (e.g., >30 nC) at high switching frequencies |
| Peak Source Current | 3 A per channel - sufficient for rapid charging of high-Ciss MOSFETs without excessive gate resistor dependence |
| Propagation Delay | 25 ns typical (CL = 2 nF) - minimizes timing skew between channels and supports >10-MHz PWM control loops |
| Rise/Fall Time | 14 ns / 12 ns typical (CL = 2 nF) - reduces switching losses and EMI by limiting dV/dt slew rate control |
| Input Threshold | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.2 V - ensures robust noise immunity with standard TTL and CMOS logic interfaces |
Pinout & Package
LM5111-4MY/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (5.00 mm × 6.00 mm) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 and Pin 8 are No Connect (N/C); VEE serves as the common ground reference for both inputs and outputs; VCC supplies the positive rail; IN_A and IN_B accept independent TTL-compatible control signals; OUT_A and OUT_B drive external MOSFET gates with rail-to-rail swing (VCC to VEE).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 (N/C) | No Connection | Must remain unconnected; no internal circuitry attached |
| 2 (IN_A) | Inverting Input | Drives OUT_A with inverted logic: high input → low output; TTL-compatible thresholds |
| 3 (VEE) | Ground Reference | Common return path for inputs, outputs, and bypass capacitors; must be low-inductance connection to power ground |
| 4 (IN_B) | Noninverting Input | Drives OUT_B with same logic polarity: high input → high output; TTL-compatible thresholds |
| 5 (OUT_B) | Noninverting Output | Sinks 5 A / sources 3 A; swings from VCC to VEE; drives NFET gates directly |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive Supply | Power rail for output stage; requires local 0.1-µF ceramic + 1-µF bulk bypass to suppress high di/dt transients |
| 7 (OUT_A) | Inverting Output | Sinks 5 A / sources 3 A; swings from VCC to VEE; configured to drive PFET gates in UVLO-safe mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Compound CMOS/Bipolar Output Stage | Combines MOS rail-to-rail swing with bipolar high-current capability near VGS(th), reducing drive variation over temperature and supply voltage |
| UVLO Configuration (LM5111-4) | OUT_A forced high and OUT_B forced low during undervoltage - enables fail-safe PFET turn-on and NFET turn-off in high-side gate drive applications |
| Parallel Operation Support | Both channels can be connected in parallel (inputs and outputs tied) to deliver 6-A source / 10-A sink, doubling drive strength without added components |
| TTL-Compatible Inputs | VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V, 400-mV hysteresis - eliminates need for level shifters when interfacing with microcontrollers or PWM controllers |
| Thermally Enhanced SOIC | Exposed pad design (LM5111-4MY/NOPB) lowers RθJA to 112.2°C/W - improves reliability in continuous high-duty-cycle power supply designs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-current gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC27324DR | 3-A source / 3-A sink; no UVLO; dual noninverting only; SOIC-8 | Lacks UVLO safety and asymmetric drive capability; unsuitable for PFET/NFET complementary drive | Select only if UVLO is handled externally and matched sourcing/sinking suffices |
| TC4427ACOA | 1.2-A source/sink; dual inverting; no UVLO; SOIC-8; higher RDS(on) | Lower drive strength limits use to <10-nC MOSFETs and <1-MHz operation; no safety shutdown | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-power applications where LM5111-4MY/NOPB's 5-A sink is unnecessary |
Compared with UCC27324DR and TC4427ACOA, LM5111-4MY/NOPB provides uniquely asymmetric 3-A/5-A drive, integrated UVLO with PFET-safe behavior, and compound output architecture - making it the only option among the three qualified for high-efficiency synchronous rectifiers and high-reliability half-bridge systems.

FAQ
What is the UVLO behavior of LM5111-4MY/NOPB, and how does it differ from other LM5111 variants?
The LM5111-4MY/NOPB features a unique UVLO configuration: when VCC–VEE falls below 2.9 V, OUT_A is actively driven high while OUT_B is held low. This differs from LM5111-1/2/3, which pull both outputs low in UVLO. That behavior enables safe high-side PFET turn-on and prevents low-side NFET activation during brown-out - a critical feature for half-bridge and synchronous rectifier topologies. LM5111-4MY/NOPB implements this via internal logic that overrides normal input-to-output mapping during undervoltage.
Can LM5111-4MY/NOPB drive both N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs simultaneously in a single half-bridge?
Yes. LM5111-4MY/NOPB is explicitly designed for complementary drive: its IN_A input controls an inverting channel (OUT_A), ideal for driving a high-side P-channel MOSFET, while IN_B controls a noninverting channel (OUT_B), suited for a low-side N-channel MOSFET. The device's rail-to-rail output swing (VCC to VEE) and asymmetric 3-A source / 5-A sink capability ensure strong turn-on and turn-off performance for both devices. This eliminates external inverters and simplifies layout in space-constrained half-bridge designs.
What are the recommended bypass capacitor values and placement for LM5111-4MY/NOPB?
Texas Instruments specifies two mandatory bypass capacitors across VCC and VEE: a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor placed immediately adjacent to pins 6 and 3 (VCC and VEE), and a second 1-µF or larger low-ESR ceramic capacitor located nearby. Both must be surface-mount and connected with minimal trace length to avoid inductance. This dual-capacitor strategy suppresses high-frequency noise from the 5-A sink transients and supplies peak current during fast gate charging. Failure to implement both capacitors risks output ringing, false triggering, or thermal overstress in LM5111-4MY/NOPB.
Is LM5111-4MY/NOPB pin-compatible with industry-standard gate drivers such as TC4426 or UCC2732x?
Yes - LM5111-4MY/NOPB uses the standard SOIC-8 footprint and pinout defined for dual gate drivers: pins 1/8 (N/C), 2 (IN_A), 3 (VEE), 4 (IN_B), 5 (OUT_B), 6 (VCC), 7 (OUT_A). This matches TC4426A/27A/28A and UCC27323/27324/27325 pin-for-pin. However, functional compatibility requires verification: LM5111-4MY/NOPB's inverting/noninverting configuration and UVLO behavior differ from those parts, so direct substitution may require logic rework or safety validation. Always confirm signal polarity and fault response before drop-in replacement.
How does the compound CMOS/bipolar output stage in LM5111-4MY/NOPB improve performance over conventional drivers?
The compound output stage integrates MOS and bipolar transistors in parallel per channel: the MOS device delivers rail-to-rail voltage swing and low RDS(on), while the bipolar device provides high peak current near the MOSFET's VGS(th) region where MOS transistors exhibit poor gain. This hybrid architecture reduces output current variation by >50% across −40°C to +125°C and 3.5–14 V VCC, ensuring consistent gate drive strength under real-world thermal and supply conditions. As a result, LM5111-4MY/NOPB maintains tight timing margins and low switching loss across wide operating ranges - a key advantage over single-technology drivers like TC4427 or UCC27324.
