Product details
Overview
MAX15013AASA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-speed, 175V half-bridge n-channel MOSFET driver with TTL logic inputs, designed to independently control high-side and low-side MOSFETs in telecom power converters. It delivers 2A peak source/sink current, features 35ns typical propagation delay with ≤8ns matching between drivers, and operates from 8V to 12.6V VDD across –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX15013AASA+ datasheet, MAX15013AASA+ pinout, MAX15013AASA+ application, or MAX15013AASA+ equivalent, this device is selected for high-frequency half-bridge topologies requiring matched timing, bootstrap-integrated high-side drive, and robust 175V bus voltage tolerance in telecom and industrial power supplies.
Technical Context
The MAX15013AASA+ implements independent TTL-input-controlled high-side and low-side gate drivers using HV BiCMOS process, enabling fast switching up to 500kHz. Its internal bootstrap diode (VF = 0.91V typ) eliminates external diode need while supporting 175V HS voltage operation with dV/dt immunity up to 50V/ns.
Propagation delay matching (≤8ns max) and break-before-make logic prevent shoot-through; UVLO thresholds (6.5V/6.0V rising for VDD/BST) with 0.5V hysteresis ensure reliable startup under varying input conditions. Input hysteresis (0.25V) and 14V absolute max input rating protect against noise and overvoltage transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VHS_MAX | 175V - Enables direct interface to 100V telecom transient rails with safety margin. |
| Peak Output Current | 2A source/sink - Drives high-gate-charge MOSFETs with fast turn-on/turn-off times. |
| Propagation Delay | 35ns typical - Supports >500kHz switching with minimal control-loop latency. |
| Delay Matching | ≤8ns max - Ensures precise dead-time control and prevents cross-conduction. |
| VDD Range | 8.0V to 12.6V - Compatible with standard 12V bias rails and supports derated operation at higher bus voltages. |
| Input Logic Type | TTL - Accepts 1.65V–2.0V VIH and 0.8V–1.4V VIL, independent of VDD supply level. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 70µA (no switching) - Minimizes standby power loss in always-on systems. |
Pinout & Package
MAX15013AASA+ uses an industry-standard 8-pin SOIC (S8-5) package with exposed pad not present (SO, not SO-EP). Thermal resistance θJA = 170°C/W enables operation up to +125°C ambient with appropriate PCB copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VDD | Power input | Bypassed to GND with 0.1µF + 1µF ceramics; powers both drivers and internal logic. |
| 2 BST | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connected to HS via 0.1µF ceramic; charged by internal diode during DL on-time. |
| 3 DH | High-side gate driver output | Sources/sinks 2A to drive high-side MOSFET gate; referenced to HS potential. |
| 4 HS | High-side source return | Return path for high-side driver; must be connected directly to MOSFET source. |
| 5 IN_H | High-side noninverting logic input | TTL-compatible; controls DH state directly; 2.5pF input capacitance minimizes loading. |
| 6 IN_L | Low-side noninverting logic input | TTL-compatible; controls DL state directly; internally pulled down to GND. |
| 7 GND | Ground reference | Common return for DL output, IN_H/IN_L inputs, and VDD bypass capacitors. |
| 8 DL | Low-side gate driver output | Sources/sinks 2A to drive low-side MOSFET gate; referenced to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Eliminates external Schottky diode requirement; VF = 0.91V typ reduces BST charging loss. |
| Matched propagation delay | ≤8ns max difference between DH/DL ensures precise timing alignment for dead-time control. |

| High-voltage HS operation | 175V HS rating with 50V/ns dV/dt immunity - suitable for telecom 48V/54V bus with 100V transients. |
| Break-before-make logic | 1ns internal dead time prevents shoot-through during switching transitions. |
| UVLO with hysteresis | 6.5V/6.0V rising thresholds for VDD/BST with 0.5V hysteresis - ensures clean startup and fault recovery. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIP2101IB | Pin-compatible but CMOS (VDD/2) inputs; no internal bootstrap diode; 150V HS rating. | Requires external bootstrap diode; limited to ≤150V bus; less tolerant of TTL-level controllers. | Select HIP2101IB only when CMOS logic interface is available and board layout allows external diode placement. |
| LM5109BMM/NOPB | 100V HS rating; 1A peak drive; no internal bootstrap diode; separate high/low enable pins. | Not suitable for 175V telecom rails; requires external bootstrap circuit; lower drive strength limits MOSFET selection. | Choose LM5109BMM/NOPB for cost-sensitive 48V industrial supplies where 100V rating suffices and layout permits external components. |
Compared with HIP2101IB and LM5109BMM/NOPB, MAX15013AASA+ provides higher 175V HS voltage capability, integrated bootstrap diode, and TTL compatibility-enabling simpler, more robust designs for high-reliability telecom power stages without external timing or protection components.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the high-side terminal (HS) of the MAX15013AASA+?
The MAX15013AASA+ supports up to 175V at the HS terminal, verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This rating applies when VDD is derated linearly from 12.6V to 10.5V as HS voltage increases from 125V to 175V. Operation above 175V risks permanent damage.
Does the MAX15013AASA+ include an internal bootstrap diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes, the MAX15013AASA+ integrates a reliable on-chip bootstrap diode between VDD and BST. Its typical forward voltage drop is 0.91V at 100mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This eliminates the need for an external discrete diode in most designs.
What logic levels does the MAX15013AASA+ accept on IN_H and IN_L inputs?
The MAX15013AASA+ features TTL-compatible inputs: VIH ≥ 1.65V (min), VIL ≤ 0.8V (max), with 0.25V hysteresis. These thresholds are independent of VDD voltage, allowing interface with standard 3.3V or 5V controllers even when VDD is 12V.
How is propagation delay matching guaranteed between the high-side and low-side drivers in the MAX15013AASA+?
The MAX15013AASA+ guarantees ≤8ns maximum propagation delay matching between DH and DL outputs under all operating conditions (–40°C to +125°C, CL = 1000pF), as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table. Typical matching is 2ns, enabling precise dead-time control without external compensation.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the MAX15013AASA+?
The MAX15013AASA+ uses an 8-pin SOIC (S8-5) package without exposed pad. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 170°C/W, and maximum continuous power dissipation at TA = +70°C is 470.6mW. Derating is 5.9mW/°C above +70°C.
