Product details
Overview
UBA2032T/N2,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a high-voltage monolithic full-bridge gate driver IC fabricated in EZ-HV SOI process, designed to drive four external MOSFETs in full-bridge topology for HID lamp ballasts. It integrates bootstrap diodes, high-voltage level shifters, adaptive non-overlap circuitry, and supports internal/external oscillator modes with up to 100 kHz bridge frequency and 550 V maximum bridge voltage.
For engineers reviewing the UBA2032T/N2,118 datasheet, UBA2032T/N2,118 pinout, UBA2032T/N2,118 application, or UBA2032T/N2,118 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, SO24 package mapping, confirmed gate drive specifications, start-up delay and bridge disable behavior, and real-world HID commutation use cases - all extracted from the official 2005 Philips specification.
Technical Context
The UBA2032T/N2,118 implements dual-level high-voltage level shifting: one for left half-bridge (SHL/FSL/GHL/GLL) and one for right half-bridge (SHR/FSR/GHR/GLR), enabling independent floating supply operation up to 564 V. Its adaptive non-overlap circuit senses half-bridge voltage slope (5–25 V/µs) to dynamically set minimum 600–1300 ns dead time, eliminating fixed timing constraints across frequency.
Oscillation control supports three modes: internal RC oscillator (up to 100 kHz, divider-enabled for 50% duty cycle), external oscillator without divider (bridge frequency = input frequency), and external oscillator with divider (bridge frequency = half input frequency). All modes trigger commutation on falling edge of RC or EXTDR signal relative to −LVS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bridge Voltage Max | 550 V - supports direct connection to HID lamp bus without external HV regulation |
| Bridge Frequency Range | DC to 100 kHz - covers standard HID ignition (≈100–500 Hz) and steady-state operation (≈100–200 kHz) |
| Non-overlap Time | 600–1300 ns min - adaptive timing prevents shoot-through under varying load and temperature |
| High-Side Gate Drive | Voltage referenced to SHL/SHR; supports bootstrap operation up to 564 V floating supply |
| Logic Supply Range | +LVS/−LVS: 0–464 V differential - enables direct interface to system ground or negative-lamp configurations |
| UVLO Thresholds | VHV(rel) = 11–14 V, VHV(UVLO) = 8.5–11.5 V - ensures clean start-up and reset during brown-out |
| Output Sink/Source | 200 mA sink / 180 mA source - drives typical MOSFET gate charge (Qg ≈ 20–50 nC) at ≤100 kHz |
Pinout & Package
UBA2032T/N2,118 is housed in SO24 plastic small outline package (SOT137-1), 24-pin, 7.5 mm body width, with gull-wing leads. Pin numbering follows Fig.2 in the 2005 datasheet; pin 1 = −LVS, pin 24 = GHR.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS2453D(S)PbF | Half-bridge driver with integrated oscillator; lacks full-bridge topology and adaptive non-overlap | Requires external logic or dual ICs to implement full-bridge; no built-in start-up sequencing or negative-voltage support | Choose IRS2453D only if half-bridge topology suffices and external timing control is acceptable |
| UCC27211D | High-speed dual low-side/high-side driver; no integrated oscillator, bootstrap diodes, or UVLO for HV supply | Needs external PWM controller, bootstrap diodes, and HV biasing; not qualified for 550 V bridge operation | UCC27211D suits high-frequency synchronous buck or motor drives but cannot replace UBA2032T/N2,118 in HID ballast designs |
Compared with IRS2453D and UCC27211D, the UBA2032T/N2,118 uniquely integrates full-bridge control, adaptive dead time, HV level shifting, and lamp-specific start-up sequencing - making it purpose-built for single-chip HID ballast implementation without supplemental ICs or discrete protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum bridge voltage rating for UBA2032T/N2,118?
The UBA2032T/N2,118 supports a maximum bridge voltage of 550 V DC, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows direct interface to standard HID lamp bus voltages without intermediate regulation, and the high-side drivers tolerate source voltages up to +550 V or −450 V relative to system ground.
How does the adaptive non-overlap function work in UBA2032T/N2,118?
The UBA2032T/N2,118 implements adaptive non-overlap by sensing the dV/dt of the half-bridge voltage (5–25 V/µs) at SHL and SHR. It dynamically adjusts dead time to ensure minimum 600–1300 ns between high-side and low-side turn-off/on transitions, preventing shoot-through across frequency and load variations without fixed timing components.
Can UBA2032T/N2,118 drive MOSFETs in a negative-lamp-voltage configuration?
Yes - the UBA2032T/N2,118 supports negative lamp voltage operation up to −450 V, as confirmed in Figure 7 of the datasheet. By referencing +LVS and HV to the control unit's supply and grounding −LVS to SGND, the IC maintains correct logic levels and gate drive integrity even with high negative bridge node potentials.
What is the role of pin SU in UBA2032T/N2,118?
Pin SU (start-up delay) on the UBA2032T/N2,118 delays release of power drive until VDD reaches sufficient level for reliable MOSFET gate drive. An external RC network (R from VDD to SU, C from SU to SGND) sets the delay, preventing premature oscillation before bootstrap capacitors are charged.
Does UBA2032T/N2,118 require external bootstrap diodes?
No - the UBA2032T/N2,118 integrates bootstrap diodes internally, as explicitly stated in the Features section. This eliminates the need for external diodes in the FSL and FSR paths, simplifying layout and improving reliability in HID lamp ballast applications.
