Product details
Overview
SM72295MAE/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a photovoltaic full-bridge gate driver IC designed to control four discrete N-channel MOSFETs in high-voltage renewable energy inverters. It delivers 3A peak gate drive current per channel, integrates 100V bootstrap diodes, and features two transconductance current sense amplifiers with externally programmable gain for input/output current monitoring in solar microinverters.
For engineers reviewing the SM72295MAE/NOPB datasheet, SM72295MAE/NOPB pinout, SM72295MAE/NOPB application, or SM72295MAE/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap rail voltage capability (up to 115V), dual independent high/low-side logic inputs, PGOOD and OVP fault indicators, and SOIC-28 packaging compatible with isolated gate drive layouts.
Technical Context
The SM72295MAE/NOPB implements dual half-bridge drivers with level-shifted high-side outputs referenced to HSA/HSB nodes, supporting bootstrap operation up to 115V. Its integrated 100V-rated bootstrap diodes eliminate external diode requirements while enabling fast capacitor recharge at switching frequencies up to 200kHz.
Two independent transconductance amplifiers (SIA/SOA and SIB/SOB) provide differential current sensing with programmable gain via external resistors (e.g., 500Ω or 1kΩ), delivering buffered IIN/IOUT outputs with ±2mV offset and VDD clamping. An on-chip 3.3V/5V regulator (VDD) powers internal logic and serves as reference for OVS overvoltage detection.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SM72295MAE/NOPB uses a 28-pin SOIC (DW) package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is located at top-left corner when notch faces upward. Power ground (PGND) and analog ground (AGND) are separate pins to minimize noise coupling between power and sensing circuits.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 12–14, 21, 25 | Sense amplifier inputs/outputs (SIA, SOA, IOUT, SIB, SOB, VCCA, VCCB) | Differential current sensing interface with externally set gain; VCCA/VCCB supply gate drive rails |
| 3, 4, 11 | Current sense outputs (IIN, BIN, BOUT) | Buffered low-impedance outputs for ADC interfacing or analog feedback loops |
| 6–9, 22, 24 | Logic inputs (LIA, LIB, HIA, HIB, LOA, LOB) | TTL-compatible inputs with 100–400kΩ pull-down - require explicit grounding if unused |
| 17, 18, 20, 26–28 | Power rails & bootstrap nodes (VDD, HSA, HBA, HBB, HSB) | VDD regulates internal logic; HBA/HBB supply high-side drivers; HSA/HSB connect to MOSFET sources |
| 10, 15, 23 | Fault/status outputs (PGOOD, OVP, PGND) | Open-drain indicators with internal VDD pull-ups - signal UVLO, overvoltage, and power ground return |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 100V bootstrap diodes | Eliminates external diodes and reduces board area in high-voltage bridge designs |
| Externally programmable current sense gain | Supports multiple shunt resistor values (e.g., 500Ω or 1kΩ) to scale output voltage for ADC input range |
| Independent high/low-side logic inputs | Enables asymmetric PWM control and dead-time insertion without external logic |
| VDD-regulated 3.3V/5V supply | Provides stable reference for OVS comparator and internal circuitry - bypassed with 0.1μF capacitor |
| Programmable overvoltage protection | OVS pin accepts resistor divider to set shutdown threshold - hysteresis prevents chatter near trip point |
| Power good indicator (PGOOD) | Open-drain output confirms VCC regulation status - used for system enable sequencing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar full-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC27211D | Single high/low-side driver (not dual); no integrated current sense or OVP; 4A peak drive | Lacks current sensing and protection features - requires external amplifiers and comparators | Choose when only basic gate drive is needed and sensing/protection are handled elsewhere |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SM72295MAE/NOPB in a photovoltaic inverter?
The SM72295MAE/NOPB functions as a dual half-bridge gate driver that controls four external N-channel MOSFETs in a full-bridge configuration. It provides 3A peak gate current, integrated 100V bootstrap diodes, and two transconductance current sense amplifiers - enabling efficient, protected switching and real-time current monitoring essential for MPPT and safety compliance in solar microinverters. The SM72295MAE/NOPB directly interfaces with controller PWM signals and feeds sensed current data back to the system MCU.
Does the SM72295MAE/NOPB support bootstrap operation above 100V DC-link voltage?
Yes, the SM72295MAE/NOPB supports bootstrap supply voltages up to 115V, as confirmed by its absolute maximum rating for HBA/HBB pins and recommended operating condition of HS+7V to HS+14V. This enables reliable operation with DC-link voltages exceeding 100V - common in modern photovoltaic inverters. The integrated 100V bootstrap diodes are rated for continuous conduction at these levels, eliminating need for external high-voltage diodes. The SM72295MAE/NOPB datasheet specifies this capability explicitly in both Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables.
How does the SM72295MAE/NOPB implement overvoltage protection?
The SM72295MAE/NOPB implements overvoltage protection via the OVS pin, which accepts a resistor divider from the monitored voltage node. When OVS exceeds VDD by more than 50mV (with 5% hysteresis), the open-drain OVP output pulls low to signal fault condition. VDD - regulated internally at 3.3V or 5V - serves as the stable reference, ensuring consistent trip thresholds independent of external supply variation. This architecture allows precise, adjustable shutdown without external comparators. The SM72295MAE/NOPB integrates all necessary circuitry, including internal pull-up and hysteresis, within the IC.
Can the SM72295MAE/NOPB current sense amplifiers be used for both input and output current monitoring simultaneously?
Yes, the SM72295MAE/NOPB contains two independent transconductance amplifiers: one pair (SIA/SOA) for input current sensing and another (SIB/SOB) for output current sensing. Each has dedicated buffered outputs (IIN/BIN and IOUT/BOUT), programmable gain via external resistors, and ±2mV offset - enabling simultaneous, isolated monitoring of DC input and AC output currents in bidirectional converters. This dual-sensing capability is explicitly documented in the device description, pin table, and Electrical Characteristics section of the SM72295MAE/NOPB datasheet.
What is the thermal performance of the SM72295MAE/NOPB in SOIC-28 package?
The SM72295MAE/NOPB has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 60°C/W when mounted on a 2-layer JEDEC-standard board with 2 oz copper. Its maximum junction temperature is rated at 150°C, with recommended operating range from –40°C to +125°C. Power dissipation is dominated by gate drive losses (PDGATES ≈ 2·f·CL·VDD²) and bootstrap diode losses - both frequency- and load-dependent. Layout guidelines emphasize low-inductance paths and local decoupling to manage thermal rise. The SM72295MAE/NOPB thermal characteristics are validated per JEDEC JESD51 and published in the official datasheet.
