Product details
Overview
STGAP2DMTR from STMicroelectronics is a galvanically isolated dual-channel 4 A half-bridge gate driver IC for high-voltage power stages, featuring 1700 V isolation, ±100 V/ns CMTI, 75 ns max propagation delay, and integrated UVLO, thermal shutdown, interlocking, and standby functions - deployed in industrial motor drives, UPS inverters, and PFC circuits.
For engineers reviewing the STGAP2DMTR datasheet, STGAP2DMTR pinout, STGAP2DMTR application, or STGAP2DMTR equivalent, key selection criteria include channel isolation integrity, rail-to-rail 4 A sink/source capability, configurable interlock logic, dedicated SD/BRAKE control, and SO-16 package compatibility with high-voltage PCB layout constraints.
Technical Context
The STGAP2DMTR implements two independent isolated gate driving channels (A and B) with separate VH_A/VH_B supplies and GNDISO_A/GNDISO_B references, enabling unipolar or bipolar gate drive configurations. Its input-to-output isolation meets UL 1577 (4000 VPEAK) and VDE 0884-11 (1750 VPEAK) standards, with 4 mm creepage/clearance and CTI ≥ 400 V.
Control logic uses 3.3 V/5 V TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs with hysteresis and deglitch filtering (20–40 ns), while output stage delivers rail-to-rail switching with <1.5 Ω RDS(on) (source/sink), 110–120 mV low-level voltage, and active clamp limiting (SafeClp = 2.0–2.3 V) during UVLO conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Voltage | 1700 V DC or peak; enables safe operation between 600/1200 V IGBTs/MOSFETs and low-voltage MCU control domains. |
| Output Drive Current | 4 A sink/source at 25 °C; supports fast switching of high-Qg power devices up to 1 MHz in hard-switched topologies. |
| Propagation Delay | 75 ns typ. (max 90 ns); ensures precise PWM timing alignment between channels for reduced shoot-through risk. |
| CMTI | ±100 V/ns; maintains signal integrity in noisy high-dV/dt environments like motor phase-leg commutation. |
| UVLO Threshold | VH turn-on: 9.1 V typ., hysteresis 0.75 V; prevents erratic gate behavior during supply ramp-up/down. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at 170 °C junction temp with 20 °C hysteresis; protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 40–80 µA on VDD, 400–550 µA per VH rail; reduces idle power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
Pinout & Package
STGAP2DMTR is housed in a SO-16 narrow-body surface-mount package (9.8 × 6.0 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) with reinforced creepage/clearance (4 mm) and ECOPACK® environmental compliance.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VDD | Logic supply input | Powers 3.3/5 V control logic; requires local 100 nF + 1–10 µF bypassing to suppress digital noise coupling. |
| 2 INA / 3 INB | Channel A/B logic inputs | Active-high TTL/CMOS signals controlling respective GOUT outputs; deglitched (20–40 ns) to reject EMI. |
| 4 SD | Shutdown input | Active-low global disable; forces both outputs to safe state (low) independent of other inputs. |
| 5 BRAKE | Brake input | Active-low signal forcing both GOUTs low - used for emergency motor stop or short-circuit protection. |
| 6 iLOCK | Interlock enable/disable | Connect to VDD to enforce mutual exclusion (A/B never high simultaneously); connect to GND to disable. |
| 7 GND | Logic ground reference | Common return for VDD and all logic inputs; must be separated from isolated grounds to preserve isolation barrier. |
| 9 VH_B / 14 VH_A | High-side gate supply rails | Provide up to 26 V to floating output stages; each requires dedicated 100 nF + 1–10 µF local decoupling. |
| 10 GOUT_B / 15 GOUT_A | Gate drive outputs | Rail-to-rail 4 A sink/source outputs; actively clamped to ≤2.3 V during UVLO to prevent partial turn-on. |
| 11 GNDISO_B / 16 GNDISO_A | Floating output grounds | Isolated return paths for VH_B/VH_A; differential voltage limit ±1500 V ensures robustness in split-rail topologies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual isolated gate drivers | Independent VH_A/GNDISO_A and VH_B/GNDISO_B supplies support asymmetric or negative gate biasing in half-bridge designs. |
| Configurable interlocking | iLOCK pin allows hardware-selectable shoot-through prevention - critical for reliability in IGBT-based motor drives. |
| Dedicated safety pins | SD (global shutdown) and BRAKE (forced low) provide redundant, deterministic fault response without software intervention. |
| Integrated UVLO + thermal shutdown | Prevents device damage under brownout or overload; automatic recovery after temperature or supply stabilization. |
| Low-power standby mode | Reduces total quiescent current to <1 mA; entered via timed SD/INA/INB/BRAKE sequence, exited with wake-up delay <200 µs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si8239AD-IS | 2.5 A drive strength, 1500 V isolation, no interlock pin, 100 ns max delay | Lacks hardware interlock and dedicated BRAKE pin; suited for lower-power, non-safety-critical inverters | Select when system-level shoot-through protection is handled by MCU firmware and peak current <3 A suffices. |
| UCC5390SCD | 4 A drive, 5000 VPK isolation, integrated Miller clamp, no standby mode | Higher isolation rating but no low-power standby; optimized for high-reliability automotive traction inverters | Choose for ASIL-B systems requiring enhanced isolation margin and Miller clamping, where continuous operation is mandatory. |
Compared with Si8239AD-IS and UCC5390SCD, STGAP2DMTR uniquely balances 4 A drive, 1700 V isolation, hardware interlock, and sub-1 mA standby - making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial drives needing both safety and energy efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for STGAP2DMTR?
The datasheet specifies a maximum switching frequency of 1 MHz under recommended operating conditions. However, practical limits depend on power dissipation and junction temperature: at 25 °C ambient with adequate heatsinking, reliable operation is achieved up to 500 kHz in 1200 V IGBT half-bridges. Above this, thermal derating becomes necessary due to 1.16 W output-stage power dissipation.
How does the interlocking function behave when iLOCK is left floating?
The iLOCK pin has an internal pull-up resistor (66–142 kΩ), so if left unconnected, it defaults to VDD logic level - enabling interlocking. This ensures that GOUT_A and GOUT_B cannot be high simultaneously unless iLOCK is explicitly tied to GND. No external pull-up is required for default-safe operation.
Can STGAP2DMTR drive both N-channel and P-channel high-side switches?
Yes - its rail-to-rail outputs and flexible VH_x supply allow unipolar (e.g., N-channel with bootstrap or isolated supply) or bipolar (e.g., P-channel with negative gate bias) configurations. The datasheet Figure 3 confirms compatibility with both, provided VH_x is set to appropriate voltage (e.g., −5 V to +15 V relative to GNDISO_x) and local decoupling is applied.
What happens to GOUT outputs during VDD power loss while VH_A/VH_B remain powered?
The watchdog function detects loss of VDD and forces both GOUT outputs into safe state (low) within microseconds. This prevents unintended turn-on of power devices due to floating logic inputs, ensuring fail-safe behavior even when only the isolated side remains energized - a critical feature for industrial safety compliance.
