Product details
Overview
TDA21101G from Infineon Technologies is a dual high-speed MOSFET gate driver IC for synchronous half-bridge topologies, featuring 4 A peak sink/source capability per output, <30 ns rise/fall times, adjustable high-side gate drive voltage (5–12 V), integrated bootstrap diode, and adaptive cross-conduction prevention. It targets multi-phase CPU VRMs on desktop and notebook motherboards.
For engineers reviewing the TDA21101G datasheet, TDA21101G pinout, TDA21101G application, or TDA21101G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30 V floating high-side drive capability, PVCC-adjustable gate voltage for loss optimization, thermal shutdown at 150 °C, and 1:1 compatibility with HIP6601A/B in P-DSO-8 packaging.
Technical Context
This driver implements adaptive gate control logic to prevent shoot-through by dynamically adjusting turn-on/turn-off timing based on PHASE node voltage transitions. Its high-impedance PVCC pin enables external resistor-based tuning of high-side gate voltage between 5 V and 12 V-directly balancing conduction losses, gate charge energy, and switching losses.
The internal bootstrap diode eliminates an external component while supporting up to 30 V DC bias on the PHASE node. Propagation delays are tightly matched (td(ON)_HS: 58–70 ns; td(ON)_LS: 40–60 ns) and temperature-stable across –25 °C to 125 °C junction range, enabling reliable operation in high-frequency (up to 2 MHz), high-density VRM designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 4 A per channel (HS/LS), enabling fast charging of high-Qg MOSFETs in multi-phase CPU supplies |
| Rise/Fall Time | 17–34 ns (typ.), supporting clean switching at up to 2 MHz without excessive EMI |
| High-Side Floating Voltage | 30 V max (PHASE referenced), allowing use in 12 V input VRMs with margin |
| PVCC Adjustment Range | 5–12 V via high-Z pin, permitting fine-tuning of HS gate voltage to minimize total power loss |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150 °C (with 50 °C hysteresis), protecting against sustained overload in compact PCB layouts |
| Supply Voltage Range (VCC) | 10.8–13.2 V (±10% @ 12 V nominal), compatible with standard VRM auxiliary rails |
| Propagation Delay Match | ≤30 ns difference between HS/LS channels, critical for precise dead-time control in synchronous rectification |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in P-DSO-8 (plastic dual small-outline, 8-pin, exposed pad), this SOIC-compatible surface-mount package supports thermal dissipation up to 0.8 W at 25 °C ambient and features gull-wing leads for automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GATEHS (Pin 1) | High-side N-MOS gate driver output | Drives gate of upper MOSFET in half-bridge; clamped to 10 V when PVCC > 10 V |
| BOOT (Pin 2) | Floating bootstrap supply node | Connects to external capacitor; generates gate drive voltage above PHASE for high-side N-MOS |
| PWM (Pin 3) | Digital input control signal | Accepts standard PWM logic (1.8–3.0 V shut-down window); open-circuit triggers safe shutdown |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal reference ground | Common return for VCC, PVCC, and output stages; requires low-inductance layout |
| GATELS (Pin 5) | Low-side N-MOS gate driver output | Directly drives lower MOSFET gate; complements HS drive with matched timing |
| VCC (Pin 6) | Main power supply input | 10.8–13.2 V supply for internal logic and output stages; powers bootstrap circuitry |
| PVCC (Pin 7) | High-impedance gate voltage adjust | Resistor-divider programmable input sets HS gate voltage (5–12 V) to optimize efficiency |
| PHASE (Pin 8) | Half-bridge switching node | Connects to HS/LS MOSFET drain-source junction; referenced for BOOT and internal level-shifting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Bootstrap Diode | Eliminates external diode, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained VRM modules |
| Adaptive Cross-Conduction Prevention | Hardware-level timing control prevents simultaneous HS/LS conduction under dynamic load transients |
| Three-State Input Shutdown | Quiescent current drops to 4.5 mA when PWM input held in 1.8–3.0 V window, enabling system-level power gating |
| 1:1 Pin Compatibility with HIP6601A/B | Enables drop-in replacement in legacy motherboard designs without layout revision |
| Thermal Protection with Hysteresis | Shuts down at 150 °C and re-enables only after cooling to 100 °C, preventing thermal cycling damage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual N-channel MOSFET gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIP6601A | Identical pinout and function; no PVCC adjustment-fixed 10 V HS gate drive | Lacks tunable gate voltage; higher conduction loss in low-Rds(on) MOSFETs | Select when design uses legacy HIP6601A layout and fixed 10 V drive suffices |
| IR2110S | Higher VBS rating (600 V), but slower (120 ns typical rise), no integrated bootstrap diode, SOIC-14 package | Suited for high-voltage industrial half-bridges, not optimized for high-frequency VRMs | Select only for >100 V bus applications where TDA21101G's 30 V PHASE limit is insufficient |
Compared with HIP6601A and IR2110S, the TDA21101G uniquely combines VRM-optimized speed (<34 ns edges), integrated bootstrap diode, and programmable HS gate voltage-enabling superior efficiency in 12 V-input, multi-phase CPU power delivery where layout density and thermal margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the PHASE pin?
The PHASE pin supports a DC voltage range of –15 V to +30 V relative to GND. This 30 V maximum enables safe operation in 12 V input VRMs with sufficient headroom for ringing and overshoot. Exceeding 30 V risks permanent damage to the internal level-shifting circuitry and bootstrap clamp structure.
How does the PVCC pin adjust high-side gate voltage?
The PVCC pin is a high-impedance input that sets the high-side gate drive voltage via an external resistor divider from VCC. When PVCC = 5 V, HS gate drive is ~5 V; at PVCC = 12 V, it reaches 10 V (internally clamped). This allows real-time trade-off between Rds(on) loss, gate charge loss, and switching loss.
Does the TDA21101G require an external bootstrap diode?
No. The TDA21101G integrates a bootstrap diode internally, connecting VCC to BOOT during low-side conduction. This eliminates the need for an external diode, reducing component count and PCB footprint-critical for dense VRM layouts where every mm² matters.
What happens when the PWM input is left floating or disconnected?
When the PWM input is open (e.g., controller powered down or in high-Z state), the internal circuit detects VPWM ≈ 2.0 V and activates shutdown mode: both GATEHS and GATELS outputs disable, forcing MOSFETs OFF. This failsafe behavior prevents unintended switching and ensures system safety during controller initialization or fault conditions.
