Product details
Overview
LMG1210RVRT from Texas Instruments is a 200-V, 1.5-A peak source / 3-A peak sink half-bridge gate driver IC optimized for GaN and high-speed MOSFETs in ultra-high-frequency power stages. It delivers 10-ns typical propagation delay, 3.4-ns high-side/low-side timing match, adjustable 0.5–20-ns dead time, and integrated 5-V LDO with 6–18-V input range - enabling efficient RF envelope tracking and Class-D audio amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the LMG1210RVRT datasheet, LMG1210RVRT pinout, LMG1210RVRT application, or LMG1210RVRT equivalent, key selection criteria include CMTI rating (300 V/ns), HO-to-LO isolation capacitance (<1 pF), bootstrap diode control logic, dual-input vs. PWM-mode configuration, and thermal shutdown thresholds (150°C switching / 160°C high-side).
Technical Context
The LMG1210RVRT employs a proprietary high-voltage capacitor-based level shifter to achieve stable 300 V/ns common-mode transient immunity without propagation delay variation. Its internal bootstrap switch actively disables conduction during dead time to prevent overcharging and reduce reverse recovery losses in external bootstrap diodes.
Two functional modes are fixed at power-up: PWM mode (single input with resistor-programmable DHL/DLH dead-time adjustment) and Independent Input Mode (dedicated HI/LI control). The device integrates an LDO that regulates 6–18 V VIN to a stable 5-V VDD rail, while supporting direct 5-V bypass via VIN-to-VDD tie.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Operating Frequency | 50 MHz - enables use in RF envelope tracking and high-frequency DC-DC converters |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns typical - minimizes timing uncertainty in fast-switching topologies |
| HS/LS Timing Match | 3.4 ns max - reduces required dead time, improving efficiency in hard-switched bridges |
| CMTI Rating | 300 V/ns - ensures reliable level shifting under high dV/dt noise in GaN-based systems |
| LDO Output | 5.0 V ±2.5% - powers gate drivers and external circuitry with low dropout (750 mV @ 100 mA) |
| Output Drive Strength | 1.5-A source / 3-A sink - directly drives high-Qg GaN FETs without external buffers |
| HO–LO Capacitance | <1 pF - limits cross-coupling and EMI in high-speed switching nodes |
| UVLO Thresholds | VDD: 4.05–4.50 V rising / 3.8–4.3 V falling - prevents erratic operation during brownout |
Pinout & Package
LMG1210RVRT is housed in a thermally enhanced 19-pin WQFN package (3.0 mm × 4.0 mm) with dual thermal pads connected to HS and VSS for optimal heat dissipation in high-power density layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap diode anode node | Connects external bootstrap diode anode; internal switch controls charging path to prevent overvoltage |
| DHL | Dead-time high-to-low adjust input | Resistor-to-VSS sets HO falling to LO rising dead time (0.5–20 ns) in PWM mode |
| DLH | Dead-time low-to-high adjust input | Resistor-to-VSS sets LO rising to HO falling dead time (0.5–20 ns) in PWM mode |
| EN/HI | Enable or high-side control input | In PWM mode: enable signal; in IIM: dedicated high-side gate control |
| PWM/LI | PWM or low-side control input | In PWM mode: single input generating complementary outputs; in IIM: dedicated low-side gate control |
| HB | High-side bootstrap supply | Connects to cathode of external bootstrap diode; supplies high-side driver stage |
| HO | High-side gate driver output | Drives gate of high-side GaN FET or MOSFET; referenced to HS node |
| HS | Switch node / high-side ground | Internally connected pins (9,13,16); serves as return for high-side driver and level shifter |
| LO | Low-side gate driver output | Drives gate of low-side GaN FET or MOSFET; referenced to VSS |
| VDD | 5-V LDO output & low-side supply | Regulated 5-V rail powering low-side circuits; requires ≥0.3 µF ceramic capacitor to VSS |
| VIN | LDO input | Accepts 6–18 V input; tie to VDD to bypass LDO when 5-V supply is available |
| VSS | Low-side ground reference | Return path for low-side driver, LDO, and digital inputs; pins 3 and 7 are internally tied |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable dead time | 0.5–20 ns per edge via external resistors on DHL/DLH - eliminates need for external dead-time generators |
| Integrated LDO | 5-V output from 6–18 V input - simplifies system-level power architecture and supports wide-input industrial rails |
| Bootstrap diode control | Internal series switch disables bootstrap path during dead time - reduces Qrr losses and prevents overcharge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar half-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMG1205RVR | No adjustable dead time; fixed 5-ns dead time; lower 200-V rating; no LDO | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where dead time is fixed and external 5-V rail exists | Select LMG1205RVR only if dead-time tuning is unnecessary and system already provides regulated 5-V supply |
| UCC27611DR | Single-channel, non-isolated driver; no bootstrap control; 5-V only supply; 150-V max HS voltage | Used in low-voltage half-bridges or as discrete high/low side drivers with external level shift | Choose UCC27611DR when designing split-rail gate drive or when HS voltage remains below 150 V |
Compared with LMG1210RVRT, LMG1205RVR lacks programmable dead time and integrated LDO, limiting flexibility in variable-frequency or wide-input designs; UCC27611DR offers higher peak current but no bootstrap management or high-side voltage capability, requiring external level-shifting circuitry for half-bridge use.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended operating frequency for the LMG1210RVRT?
The LMG1210RVRT is rated for operation up to 50 MHz, as confirmed in its official datasheet (SNOSD12D). This specification reflects tested performance under load with minimal pulse distortion, making the LMG1210RVRT suitable for RF envelope tracking and high-frequency resonant converters. Operation beyond 50 MHz may degrade timing accuracy or increase jitter due to parasitic limitations.
How does the LMG1210RVRT implement dead time adjustment?
The LMG1210RVRT adjusts dead time in PWM mode using external resistors connected from DHL and DLH pins to VSS. Each resistor sets independent dead time (0.5–20 ns) for high-to-low and low-to-high transitions via internal voltage dividers and RC filtering. The LMG1210RVRT does not support dynamic dead-time adjustment - values are fixed at power-up based on resistor values.
Can the LMG1210RVRT operate without an external bootstrap diode?
No - the LMG1210RVRT requires an external bootstrap diode connected between HB and BST pins. Its internal bootstrap switch controls conduction but does not replace the diode function. Omitting the diode prevents high-side gate drive activation, as no charge path exists to replenish the bootstrap capacitor during low-side conduction.
What thermal protection mechanisms are built into the LMG1210RVRT?
The LMG1210RVRT incorporates three independent thermal shutdown thresholds: 150°C triggers full switching disable (both HO/LO), 160°C disables only the high-side driver, and a separate 160°C threshold shuts down the internal LDO. These are documented in Section 6.5 of the SNOSD12D datasheet and activate without latch-up, recovering automatically upon cooling.
Is the LMG1210RVRT pin-compatible with other devices in the LMG12xx family?
No - the LMG1210RVRT is not pin-compatible with LMG1205RVR or LMG1212RVR. Differences include pin count (19 vs. 16), pin functions (e.g., DHL/DLH present only on LMG1210RVRT), and thermal pad configuration. PCB layout must be designed specifically for the LMG1210RVRT's RVR package footprint and connectivity.
