Product details
Overview
TDA21106 from Infineon Technologies is a dual high-speed N-channel MOSFET gate driver for synchronous half-bridge topologies, featuring 4 A peak sink/source capability per output, 20–35 ns propagation delays (HS), and adjustable high-side gate drive voltage (6–13.2 V) via PVCC pin. It integrates a bootstrap diode, supports 2 MHz switching, and targets multi-phase CPU VRMs on desktop motherboards.
For engineers reviewing the TDA21106 datasheet, TDA21106 pinout, TDA21106 application, or TDA21106 equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-enabled floating high-side drive, adaptive cross-conduction prevention, shutdown-mode quiescent current optimization, and footprint compatibility with TDA21101G and HIP6601B in P-DSO-8 packages.
Technical Context
The TDA21106 implements adaptive gate drive control to prevent shoot-through by dynamically adjusting turn-on/turn-off timing based on PHASE node voltage transitions. Its integrated bootstrap diode eliminates an external component while enabling high-side drive up to 45 V referenced to GND.
It operates with separate supply rails: VCC powers logic and low-side driver (10.8–13.2 V), while PVCC independently sets high-side gate voltage (6–13.2 V), allowing independent optimization of conduction and switching losses in high-frequency synchronous buck stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max switching frequency | 2 MHz - enables compact magnetics and high-density VRM designs for modern CPUs |
| Peak output current | 4 A sink/source - drives high-Qg MOSFETs with fast edge rates and minimal gate resistance |
| HS propagation delay | 20–35 ns (25 °C) - ensures tight timing control in multi-phase interleaved converters |
| HS gate drive voltage range | 6–13.2 V via PVCC - allows trade-off between RDS(on) loss and gate charge loss |
| PHASE node voltage rating | −20 V to +30 V (pulsed) - supports robust operation during hard-switching transients |
| UVLO thresholds | VVCC rising: 10.1 V, falling: 7.6 V - prevents erratic operation during brown-out conditions |
| Shutdown input window | 1.7–3.1 V on PWM pin - enables clean three-state disable without external logic |
Pinout & Package
P-DSO-8 package (3.9 × 4.9 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected per datasheet), RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| BOOT (Pin 2) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Floating supply rail for HS driver; referenced to PHASE, not GND; requires external 0.1 µF ceramic |
| PWM (Pin 3) | Control input | CMOS-compatible enable/disable signal; 3-state capable; defines active-high gate timing |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal reference | Common return for VCC, GATELS, and logic; must be low-inductance path to minimize noise coupling |
| GATELS (Pin 5) | Low-side gate driver output | Drives N-channel MOSFET gate referenced to GND; 0.9–1.3 Ω typical sink/source impedance |
| VCC (Pin 6) | Logic & LS driver supply | 10.8–13.2 V input powering internal logic, level shifters, and low-side driver stage |
| PVCC (Pin 7) | HS gate drive voltage adjust | Externally set voltage (6–13.2 V) defining high-side gate overdrive; decoupled with local 100 nF |
| PHASE (Pin 8) | Half-bridge switch node | Connects to source of HS MOSFET and drain of LS MOSFET; withstands −20 V to +30 V pulsed stress |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2110PbF | Higher UVLO (10–12 V), no integrated bootstrap diode, 200 ns min dead time, SOIC-16 package | Requires external bootstrap diode and larger layout; suited for lower-frequency industrial motor drives | Select if needing higher voltage isolation or legacy SOIC-16 footprint compatibility |
| LM5113MMX/NOPB | Separate high/low supply inputs (VDD/VBS), 5 A peak, 12 V max VBS, 16-pin WSON package | Designed for wide-input DC/DC; lacks adaptive shoot-through protection and PVCC adjustability | Select for 48 V input systems where bootstrap voltage headroom is constrained |
Compared with IR2110PbF and LM5113MMX/NOPB, the TDA21106 uniquely combines integrated bootstrap diode, PVCC-adjustable high-side drive, and adaptive cross-conduction prevention-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-frequency VRM designs where BOM reduction and timing precision are critical.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the PVCC pin on the TDA21106?
The PVCC pin sets the high-side gate drive voltage independently of VCC, allowing adjustment from 6 V to 13.2 V. This enables system-level optimization: lower PVCC reduces gate charge loss and EMI but increases RDS(on); higher PVCC improves conduction efficiency at the cost of increased switching loss. It connects to a dedicated decoupling capacitor and must be routed with low inductance.
Can the TDA21106 drive both high-side and low-side P-channel MOSFETs?
No. The TDA21106 is designed exclusively for dual N-channel MOSFET configurations in half-bridge topologies. Its GATEHS output is a floating driver referenced to PHASE, and GATELS is ground-referenced-both optimized for N-MOSFET gate capacitance and threshold characteristics. Driving P-MOSFETs would require inverted logic, incompatible voltage referencing, and lacks required source-follower architecture.
How does the adaptive cross-conduction prevention work?
The TDA21106 monitors the PHASE node voltage slew rate and dynamically inserts additional dead time when rapid transitions are detected-preventing simultaneous conduction of high-side and low-side MOSFETs. Unlike fixed dead-time controllers, this analog feedback loop responds in real time to layout parasitics and load dynamics, eliminating need for conservative worst-case dead-time margins.
Is an external bootstrap diode required with the TDA21106?
No. The TDA21106 integrates a bootstrap diode internally between VCC and BOOT pins. This eliminates one discrete component, reduces PCB area, and improves reliability in high-density VRM layouts. An external 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must still be placed between BOOT and PHASE to sustain the floating high-side supply during HS conduction.
