Product details
Overview
SM72295MA/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a photovoltaic full-bridge gate driver IC designed to control four discrete N-channel MOSFETs in solar inverter and renewable energy DC-AC conversion stages. It delivers 3A peak gate drive current per channel, integrates 100V bootstrap diodes, and provides two transconductance current sense amplifiers with externally programmable gain for input/output current monitoring in high-voltage bridge topologies.
For engineers reviewing the SM72295MA/NOPB datasheet, SM72295MA/NOPB pinout, SM72295MA/NOPB application, or SM72295MA/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOIC-28 package, dual half-bridge architecture, 115V bootstrap rail capability, independent TTL-level logic inputs, and integrated overvoltage/undervoltage protection with PGOOD indication.
Technical Context
The SM72295MA/NOPB implements two independent high-side/low-side driver channels with level-shifted isolation, each supporting up to 100V HS node voltage and 115V bootstrap supply. Its internal UVLO circuitry monitors VCCA/VCCB (6.9V rising threshold) and VDD (3–7V operating range), while the OVS comparator triggers shutdown when sensed voltage exceeds VDD by >50mV.
Current sensing uses dual transconductance amplifiers (SIA/SOA and SIB/SOB inputs) with gain set by external resistors (e.g., 500Ω yields 1mS transconductance); buffered outputs (BIN/BOUT) provide low-impedance A/D interface. The integrated bootstrap diodes exhibit 0.8–1.0V forward drop at 100mA with <37ns turn-on/off time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Driver Type | Dual half-bridge MOSFET driver for full-bridge N-MOSFET configurations |
| Peak Output Current | 3A per channel - enables fast switching of high-gate-charge MOSFETs in solar inverters |
| Bootstrap Voltage Range | Up to 115V - supports high-voltage DC bus operation in photovoltaic systems |
| Current Sense Gain | Externally programmable via RI resistor - e.g., 500Ω yields 1mS transconductance for 10mV sense voltage |
| OVP Threshold Accuracy | VDD ±50mV - ensures precise overvoltage shutdown during PV string voltage surges |
| UVLO Hysteresis | 0.5V on VCCA/VCCB - prevents oscillation near supply dropout in unstable DC input conditions |
| Propagation Delay | 22–26ns - maintains tight timing alignment between high/low side drivers for reduced shoot-through risk |
| Package Thermal Resistance | 60°C/W (θJA, 2-layer board) - defines maximum power dissipation limit under convection cooling |
Pinout & Package
SM72295MA/NOPB is housed in a SOIC-28 (DW) package with exposed pad thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner of the top view; pins are numbered counter-clockwise with Pin 14 at bottom-left and Pin 28 at top-right.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 14 | SIA / SIB | High-side inputs for transconductance current sense amplifiers - connect to positive side of input/output current sense resistors |
| 2, 13 | SOA / SOB | Low-side inputs for current sense amplifiers - connect to negative side of sense resistors |
| 3, 12 | IIN / IOUT | Amplified current sense outputs - require external RL-to-ground resistor to set gain (RL/RI) |
| 4, 11 | BIN / BOUT | Buffered versions of IIN/IOUT - provide low-impedance interface to ADC without loading amplifier output |
| 6, 9, 7, 8 | LIA/LIB/HIA/HIB | TTL-compatible logic inputs - independently control low/high side drivers; unused pins must be grounded |
| 18, 28, 19, 27, 20, 26, 21, 25, 22, 24 | HSA/HSB/HOA/HOB/HBA/HBB/VCCA/VCCB/LOA/LOB | Power terminals for gate drive paths - HSA/HSB tie to MOSFET source nodes; HOA/HOB drive gates directly; VCCA/VCCB supply high-side drivers |
| 10, 15, 17, 23, 5 | PGOOD/OVP/VDD/PGND/AGND | System supervision and grounding - PGOOD indicates VDD regulation; OVP signals overvoltage event; AGND separates analog reference from power ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual half-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC27211D | Lacks integrated current sense amplifiers and bootstrap diodes; requires external components for sensing and bootstrap charging | Targeted at general-purpose motor drives rather than photovoltaic-specific protection and monitoring | Choose UCC27211D only if external sensing and protection circuitry already exists in design |
| LM5109BMAX/NOPB | Single half-bridge driver with 2A peak current; no dual-channel current sense or OVP comparator | Designed for lower-power DC-DC controllers, not full-bridge renewable energy systems | Select LM5109BMAX/NOPB for cost-sensitive, non-renewable applications where full-bridge integration is unnecessary |
Compared with UCC27211D and LM5109BMAX/NOPB, SM72295MA/NOPB uniquely combines full-bridge drive, dual current sensing, and photovoltaic-grade protection in one SOIC-28 package - eliminating six external components required by alternatives in solar inverter BOMs.

FAQ
What is the maximum bootstrap voltage supported by SM72295MA/NOPB?
The SM72295MA/NOPB supports a bootstrap supply voltage range up to 115V, enabling direct use in high-voltage photovoltaic DC bus applications up to 1000V string voltage when paired with appropriate external MOSFETs and gate resistors. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and validated across temperature in the Recommended Operating Conditions section of the SNVS688E datasheet.
Does SM72295MA/NOPB include built-in current sensing capability?
Yes, SM72295MA/NOPB integrates two transconductance current sense amplifiers - one for input current (SIA/SOA pins) and one for output current (SIB/SOB pins). Each amplifier's gain is set by an external resistor (RI), and outputs (IIN/IOUT) can be buffered (BIN/BOUT) for direct connection to an ADC. This eliminates the need for separate current sense ICs in solar inverter designs.
What protection features are integrated into SM72295MA/NOPB?
SM72295MA/NOPB includes overvoltage protection (OVP) triggered by the OVS pin, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both VCCA/VCCB (6.9V rising threshold) and VDD (3–7V operating range), and a power-good indicator (PGOOD) that signals valid VDD regulation. These protections are hardware-based and operate independently of external control logic.
Is SM72295MA/NOPB pin-compatible with other TI gate drivers like UCC27211?
No, SM72295MA/NOPB is not pin-compatible with UCC27211 or other TI gate drivers. Its SOIC-28 footprint and 28-pin assignment - including dedicated current sense inputs (SIA/SOA/SIB/SOB), buffered outputs (BIN/BOUT), and dual bootstrap rails (HBA/HBB) - are unique to the SM72295 family and optimized for full-bridge photovoltaic applications.
What is the operating temperature range for SM72295MA/NOPB?
SM72295MA/NOPB is specified for junction temperatures from –40°C to +125°C, meeting the extended thermal requirements of outdoor photovoltaic installations. This range is explicitly stated in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and verified across all electrical parameters in the Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet.
