Product details
Overview
LT1160IN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a half-bridge N-channel power MOSFET driver IC with floating high-side gate drive capability up to 60V HV rail, adaptive nonoverlapping control, 180ns transition times into 10,000pF, TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs, and undervoltage lockout with hysteresis-designed for synchronous buck regulators and motor control.
For engineers reviewing the LT1160IN#PBF datasheet, LT1160IN#PBF pinout, LT1160IN#PBF application, or LT1160IN#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include top-source voltage range (–5V to 60V), boost-to-source UVLO thresholds (8.2V–9.8V), gate drive rise/fall times under load, thermal resistance (θJA = 70°C/W), and industrial temperature rating (–40°C to 85°C).
Technical Context
The LT1160IN#PBF integrates two independent noninverting gate drivers-one low-side (PV+/PGND referenced) and one high-side (floating, bootstrap-supplied via BOOST/T SOURCE)-with adaptive dead-time control that monitors gate feedback pins (T GATE FB, B GATE FB) to prevent shoot-through by enforcing sequential turn-off-before-turn-on sequencing.
Its dual UVLO circuit independently monitors V+ (start-up 8.9V, shutdown 8.3V) and VBOOST–VT SOURCE (start-up 9.3V, shutdown 8.7V), while TTL/CMOS input logic (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 1.7V) enables direct microcontroller interface without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 10V to 15V operating; absolute max 20V - defines compatible bias supply rails and decoupling requirements |
| Top Source Voltage Range | –5V to 60V - supports high-side operation across wide HV bus ranges including transient undershoot |
| Boost Voltage Max | 75V - sets maximum bootstrap capacitor voltage rating and layout creepage constraints |
| Gate Rise/Fall Time | 90–200ns (bottom), 130–200ns (top) into 3000pF - determines minimum practical switching frequency and EMI profile |
| Undervoltage Lockout Hysteresis | 0.5V (V+) and 0.5V (VBOOST–VT SOURCE) - ensures robust startup/shutdown behavior during brownout or slow-ramp supplies |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualifies for industrial motor drives and power supplies without derating |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 70°C/W (N package) - used to calculate junction temperature rise under given power dissipation and PCB copper area |
Pinout & Package
LT1160IN#PBF uses a 14-lead PDIP (N package) with through-hole mounting and 0.300-inch body width. Pin 1 is SV+, pin 5 is SGND, pin 6 is PGND, pin 11 is T SOURCE, and pin 14 is BOOST - all critical for bootstrap topology layout and ground separation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SV+ (Pin 1) | Main signal supply input | Must be decoupled to SGND (Pin 5) with ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor; powers internal logic and level shifters |
| IN TOP (Pin 2) | High-side driver enable input | TTL/CMOS-compatible; disabled when IN BOTTOM is high - enforces hardware interlock |
| IN BOTTOM (Pin 3) | Low-side driver enable input | TTL/CMOS-compatible; disabled when IN TOP is high - prevents simultaneous conduction |
| UV OUT (Pin 4) | Open-collector undervoltage flag | Sinks current when V+ or VBOOST–VT SOURCE falls below threshold - used for system fault signaling |
| SGND (Pin 5) | Small-signal ground reference | Must be routed separately from PGND to minimize noise coupling into logic and UVLO comparators |
| PGND (Pin 6) | Power ground return | Connects directly to source of bottom MOSFET - carries high di/dt switching currents |
| B GATE FB (Pin 8) | Bottom gate voltage monitor | Direct connection to MOSFET gate; inhibits top driver until voltage drops below 2.5V - ensures safe commutation |
| B GATE DR (Pin 9) | Bottom gate drive output | High-current source/sink node (1.5A peak); series gate resistor required for damping and EMI control |
| PV+ (Pin 10) | Bottom driver supply | Connected to same rail as SV+; powers low-side driver stage and feedback comparator |
| T SOURCE (Pin 11) | Floating high-side return | Connects to top MOSFET source and low side of bootstrap capacitor - defines local ground for high-side driver |
| T GATE FB (Pin 12) | Top gate voltage monitor | Direct connection to top MOSFET gate; inhibits bottom driver until VG–VS drops below 2.9V - prevents shoot-through |
| T GATE DR (Pin 13) | Top gate drive output | High-current source/sink node (1.5A peak); requires gate resistor between pin and MOSFET gate |
| BOOST (Pin 14) | Bootstrap capacitor high-side connection | Connects to high side of bootstrap cap; replenished each time top source swings low - sustains high-side bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adaptive nonoverlapping gate drive | Eliminates external timing components and MOSFET matching requirements by monitoring actual gate voltage before enabling opposite switch |
| Floating top driver (60V max) | Enables direct driving of N-channel high-side switches in buck, half-bridge, and Class D amplifier topologies without P-channel or isolated bias |
| Dual independent UVLO circuits | Prevents partial turn-on during brownout by separately monitoring main supply (V+) and bootstrap supply (VBOOST–VT SOURCE) |
| TTL/CMOS input compatibility | Accepts 0.8V/1.7V logic thresholds with 3kΩ input resistors and 5V clamps - simplifies interface with MCUs and PWM controllers |
| Separate SGND and PGND pins | Reduces noise coupling between sensitive analog comparators and high-di/dt power paths - improves reliability in noisy industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel half-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS21844PbF | Higher VBS rating (600V), integrated bootstrap diode, no gate feedback pins - relies on fixed dead time | Targeted at higher-voltage AC-DC and inverter applications; lacks adaptive shoot-through protection | Choose IRS21844PbF only if HV > 60V or integrated bootstrap diode reduces BOM count; not drop-in due to different pinout and control architecture |
| LM5109BMAX/NOPB | Single-supply operation (8V–100V), no separate SGND/PGND, 100ns typical rise time, no gate feedback monitoring | Optimized for high-frequency buck converters with simpler layout; lacks industrial temp grade and adaptive protection | LM5109BMAX/NOPB suits cost-sensitive, high-volume DC-DC designs where shoot-through risk is mitigated by controller-level timing; LT1160IN#PBF preferred for robustness in motor control |
Compared with IRS21844PbF and LM5109BMAX/NOPB, the LT1160IN#PBF uniquely combines adaptive gate feedback-based dead-time control, industrial temperature range, and separate signal/power grounds - making it superior for noise-immune motor drive and synchronous regulator designs where shoot-through prevention is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum high-voltage rail voltage supported by the LT1160IN#PBF?
The LT1160IN#PBF supports a maximum top source voltage of 60V, meaning it can drive the high-side N-channel MOSFET in configurations where the HV rail reaches up to 60V. This is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and confirmed in the Applications Information section. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage to the T SOURCE, T GATE FB, and BOOST pins.
Does the LT1160IN#PBF require external bootstrap diodes or capacitors?
Yes, the LT1160IN#PBF requires an external bootstrap capacitor (typically 1µF ceramic or low-ESR electrolytic) connected between BOOST and T SOURCE, and does not integrate a bootstrap diode. The datasheet recommends a 1N4148 or equivalent fast-switching diode in series with the bootstrap charging path to prevent reverse discharge - a critical design requirement for reliable high-side operation.
How does the adaptive nonoverlapping feature of the LT1160IN#PBF prevent shoot-through?
The LT1160IN#PBF prevents shoot-through by monitoring actual gate voltages via dedicated feedback pins: T GATE FB and B GATE FB. Before enabling the opposite driver, it waits until the active MOSFET's gate-to-source voltage falls below 2.9V (top) or 2.5V (bottom). This hardware-enforced sequence eliminates reliance on fixed dead-time settings and tolerates MOSFET parameter variation - a core differentiator of the LT1160IN#PBF.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LT1160IN#PBF in its N-package configuration?
The LT1160IN#PBF in the 14-lead PDIP (N) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 70°C/W, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table footnote. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2S2P test board conditions and is used to calculate junction temperature rise under real-world power dissipation - essential for thermal design validation in industrial applications.
Can the LT1160IN#PBF drive multiple parallel MOSFETs per channel?
Yes, the LT1160IN#PBF can drive up to five parallel N-channel MOSFETs per channel (top or bottom), as verified in the Typical Performance Characteristics and Applications Information sections. Gate decoupling resistors (10Ω–47Ω) are recommended per MOSFET to suppress high-frequency oscillation, and total gate charge loading must remain within the driver's current capability to maintain specified transition times and avoid thermal overload.
