Product details
Overview
LM5113SDX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-frequency half-bridge gate driver IC designed to control enhancement-mode GaN FETs in synchronous buck and half-bridge topologies. It delivers 1.2-A peak source / 5-A peak sink current, supports HS voltage up to 90 V, features split HOH/HOL and LOH/LOL outputs for independent turn-on/turn-off strength tuning, and operates with 28-ns typical propagation delay. It is used in merchant telecom rectifiers and macro remote radio units.
For engineers reviewing the LM5113SDX/NOPB datasheet, LM5113SDX/NOPB pinout, LM5113SDX/NOPB application, or LM5113SDX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include bootstrap-clamped 5.2-V HB regulation, TTL-compatible HI/LI inputs (14-V tolerant), 1.5-ns typical LO/HO delay matching, 0.6-Ω pulldown / 2.1-Ω pullup output resistance, and WSON-10 package thermal performance (RθJA = 37.5°C/W).
Technical Context
The LM5113SDX/NOPB integrates independent level-shifted high-side and low-side drivers referenced to HS and VSS respectively, with internal bootstrap supply clamping at 5.2 V to protect GaN FET gate oxide. Its dual-input TTL logic interface accepts HI and LI signals up to 14 V regardless of VDD level, enabling direct connection to higher-voltage PWM controllers like LM5025.
It implements undervoltage lockout on both VDD (3.8-V rising threshold) and HB–HS (3.2-V rising threshold), each with 200-mV hysteresis, and provides strong sink capability (5-A peak) to suppress unintended turn-on during high dv/dt switching. The split outputs (HOH/HOL, LOH/LOL) allow discrete gate resistor placement for optimized EMI and switching loss trade-offs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VHS Max | 90 V - Enables use with GaN FETs in 48-V bus telecom and RRU applications. |
| IOHL Peak Source | 1.2 A - Sufficient to rapidly charge GaN gate capacitance for MHz-class switching. |
| IOLL Peak Sink | 5 A - Ensures robust turn-off under high di/dt, preventing spurious conduction. |
| tPLH/tPHL Typ | 28 ns / 26.5 ns - Supports >1-MHz operation with minimal dead-time uncertainty. |
| Delay Matching Typ | 1.5 ns - Minimizes shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations. |
| RPULLUP/RPULLDOWN | 2.1 Ω / 0.6 Ω - Optimized impedance for GaN FETs: fast turn-on with controlled ringing, aggressive turn-off for noise immunity. |
| VHB Clamp | 5.2 V - Internally limits bootstrap voltage to stay within GaN FET VGS,max rating (typically ±6 V). |
Pinout & Package
The LM5113SDX/NOPB is packaged in a 10-pin WSON (DPR) with 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm body size and exposed thermal pad (EP) for enhanced thermal dissipation. The package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free (NOPB suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | 5-V Gate Drive Supply Input | Power rail for low-side and logic circuitry; requires local 0.1-µF low-ESR decoupling to VSS. |
| HB | High-Side Bootstrap Rail | Connects to positive terminal of bootstrap capacitor; internally clamped to 5.2 V above HS. |
| HOH | High-Side Turn-On Output | Source-current path to GaN FET gate; series resistor adjusts dV/dt and EMI. |
| HOL | High-Side Turn-Off Output | Sink-current path to GaN FET gate; low 0.6-Ω impedance ensures fast, noise-immune discharge. |
| HS | High-Side Source Reference | Switch-node connection point; referenced for HO outputs and bootstrap capacitor negative terminal. |
| HI | High-Side Control Input | TTL-compatible input (2.06-V rise threshold); must be tied to VSS if unused to prevent floating. |
| LI | Low-Side Control Input | TTL-compatible input (2.06-V rise threshold); same biasing requirement as HI. |
| VSS | Ground Return | Common reference for all signals except HS-referenced outputs; connects to PCB ground plane. |
| LOL | Low-Side Turn-Off Output | Sink-current path to low-side GaN FET gate; complements LOH for independent timing control. |
| LOH | Low-Side Turn-On Output | Source-current path to low-side GaN FET gate; 2.1-Ω pullup enables controlled turn-on edge. |
| EP | Exposed Thermal Pad | Internally connected to VSS; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Split high-side outputs (HOH/HOL) | Enables independent optimization of GaN FET turn-on slew rate (via HOH resistor) and turn-off robustness (via HOL low impedance). |
| Bootstrap voltage clamp | Maintains HB–HS at 5.2 V typical, eliminating external Zener and ensuring safe VGS stress on enhancement-mode GaN devices. |
| TTL-compatible inputs with 14-V tolerance | Allows direct interfacing with 5-V, 10-V, or 12-V PWM controllers (e.g., LM5025) without level-shifting buffers. |
| Dual UVLO with hysteresis | Prevents partial FET turn-on by disabling outputs when VDD < 3.8 V or HB–HS < 3.2 V, each with 200-mV hysteresis for noise immunity. |
| 1.5-ns typical LO/HO propagation delay matching | Reduces minimum required dead time in half-bridge designs, increasing effective duty cycle range and efficiency. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-frequency GaN half-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMG1205RGET | Includes integrated startup logic, level shifter, and power-off VGS clamp; no external bootstrap diode required. | Better suited for systems requiring robust start-up sequencing and enhanced fault protection. | Select LMG1205RGET when bootstrap diode omission and improved reliability under brown-out conditions are prioritized over cost and board space. |
| UCC27611DR | Single-channel, 5-A/5-A symmetric driver with 1.8-ns delay matching; no high-side floating bias or bootstrap circuitry. | Requires external high-side level-shifting solution (e.g., transformer or isolated gate driver) for half-bridge use. | Select UCC27611DR only in low-side-only or externally level-shifted configurations where independent channel control and ultra-low delay skew are critical. |
Compared with LMG1205RGET, LM5113SDX/NOPB offers lower BOM count for bootstrap-based designs but lacks integrated startup logic; compared with UCC27611DR, it provides native high-side floating drive but trades off some delay precision for integrated bias generation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable HS-to-VSS voltage for LM5113SDX/NOPB?
The absolute maximum HS-to-VSS voltage for LM5113SDX/NOPB is 93 V, while the recommended operating maximum is 90 V per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table. Exceeding 90 V in normal operation risks violating the device's safe operating area and may degrade long-term reliability, especially under high-temperature or high-dv/dt conditions. The LM5113SDX/NOPB is rated for GaN FETs in 48-V and 54-V bus systems with margin for transient spikes.
Does LM5113SDX/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
Yes, LM5113SDX/NOPB requires an external bootstrap diode-such as BAT46, BAT41, or LL4148-with a recommended 20-Ω series resistor-to charge the bootstrap capacitor on a cycle-by-cycle basis. Unlike newer alternatives like LMG1205, the LM5113SDX/NOPB does not integrate bootstrap diode functionality, making this external component mandatory for high-side bias generation in half-bridge operation.
What is the purpose of the split outputs (HOH/HOL and LOH/LOL) in LM5113SDX/NOPB?
The split outputs in LM5113SDX/NOPB-HOH/HOL for high-side and LOH/LOL for low-side-enable independent adjustment of turn-on and turn-off gate drive strength. HOH and LOH provide 2.1-Ω pullup paths for controlled turn-on edges, while HOL and LOL offer 0.6-Ω pulldown paths for fast, noise-immune turn-off. This separation allows designers to optimize EMI, switching losses, and shoot-through immunity separately for each transition using discrete gate resistors.
Can LM5113SDX/NOPB drive silicon MOSFETs, or is it limited to GaN FETs?
LM5113SDX/NOPB can drive both enhancement-mode GaN FETs and standard silicon MOSFETs, though its output resistance (0.6 Ω pulldown / 2.1 Ω pullup) and 5.2-V HB clamp are specifically optimized for GaN's lower Qg, faster switching, and tighter VGS limits. When driving silicon MOSFETs, the 5-A sink capability remains beneficial for fast turn-off, but the 5.2-V clamp may limit gate overdrive in applications requiring >6-V VGS for lowest RDS(on).
What thermal performance can be expected from the WSON-10 package of LM5113SDX/NOPB?
The LM5113SDX/NOPB in WSON-10 (DPR) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 37.5°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions with a 2-layer board and 1-in² copper pour. With proper PCB layout-including soldering the exposed thermal pad (EP) to a solid ground plane-the device sustains continuous operation at 125°C junction temperature in ambient temperatures up to 85°C, supporting high-power density telecom and RRU designs.
