3 Description
The LM5112 device MOSFET gate driver provides
high peak gate drive current in the tiny 6-pin WSON
package (SOT-23 equivalent footprint) or an 8-pin
exposed-pad MSOP package with improved power
dissipation required for high frequency operation. The
compound output driver stage includes MOS and
bipolar transistors operating in parallel that together
sink more than 7 A peak from capacitive loads.
Combining the unique characteristics of MOS and
bipolar devices reduces drive current variation with
voltage and temperature. Undervoltage lockout
protection is provided to prevent damage to the
MOSFET due to insufficient gate turnon voltage. The
LM5112 device provides both inverting and non-
inverting inputs to satisfy requirements for inverting
and non-inverting gate drive with a single device type.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM5112 device is a high-speed, high-peak current (7 A) single-channel MOSFET driver. The high-peak
output current of the LM5112 device switches power MOSFETs on and off with short rise and fall times, thereby
reducing switching losses considerably. The LM5112 device includes both inverting and non-inverting inputs that
give the user flexibility to drive the MOSFET with either active low or active high logic signals. The driver output
stage consists of a compound structure with MOS and bipolar transistor operating in parallel to optimize current
capability over a wide output voltage and operating temperature range. The bipolar device provides high peak
current at the critical Miller plateau region of the MOSFET VGS, while the MOS device provides rail-to-rail output
swing. The totem pole output drives the MOSFET gate between the gate drive supply voltage VCC and the power
ground potential at the VEE pin.

7.3 Feature Description
The control inputs of the driver are high impedance CMOS buffers with TTL compatible threshold voltages. The
negative supply of the input buffer is connected to the input ground pin IN_REF. An internal level shifting circuit
connects the logic input buffers to the totem pole output drivers. The level shift circuit and the separate input or
output ground pins provide the option of single supply or split supply configurations. When driving the MOSFET
gate from a single positive supply, the IN_REF and VEE pins are both connected to the power ground.
The isolated input and output stage grounds provide the capability to drive the MOSFET to a negative VGS
voltage for a more robust and reliable off state. In split supply configuration, the IN_REF pin is connected to the
ground of the controller which drives the LM5112 inputs. The VEE pin is connected to a negative bias supply that
can range from the IN_REF potential to as low as 14 V below the VCC gate drive supply. For reliable operation,
the maximum voltage difference between VCC and IN_REF or between VCC and VEE is 14 V.
The minimum recommended operating voltage between VCC and IN_REF is 3.5 V. An undervoltage lockout
(UVLO) circuit is included in the LM5112 which senses the voltage difference between VCC and the input ground
pin, IN_REF. When the VCC to IN_REF voltage difference falls below 2.8 V the driver is disabled and the output
pin is held in the low state. The UVLO hysteresis prevents chattering during brown-out conditions; the driver
resumes normal operation when the VCC to IN_REF differential voltage exceeds 3 V.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
A leading application for gate drivers such as the LM5112 is providing a high power buffer stage between the
PWM output of a control IC and the gates of the primary power switching devices. In other cases, the driver IC is
used to drive the power device gates through a drive transformer. Driver ICs are used when it is not feasible to
have the primary PWM regulator IC directly drive the switching devices for one or more reasons. The PWM IC
may not have the brute drive capability required for the intended switching MOSFET, limiting the switching
performance in the application.
The LM5112 is used to drive a low side MOSFET with low switching losses. Either one of the control input pins,
IN or INB, are used to control the gate drive to the MOSFET. The choice of the control input pin used depends
on the polarity of operation.
8.2 Typical Application
Typical application diagrams for the LM5112 device are shown below, illustrating use in non-inverting and
inverting driver configurations. The high peak gate drive current of the LM5112 allows for short rise and fall times
on the low-side MOSFET, thereby improving overall efficiency of the system and reducing switching losses.

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.1 Design Requirements
When selecting the proper gate driver device for an end application, some design considerations must be
evaluated first to make the most appropriate selection. Among these considerations are input-to-output
configuration, the input threshold type, bias supply voltage levels, peak source and sink currents, capacitive load,
and switching frequency. Table 2 shows some sample values for a typical application.

Switching frequency 300 kHz
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
See Power Supply Recommendations ,Layout, and Thermal Considerations for key design considerations
regarding the input supply, grounding, and thermal calculations specific to the LM5112.
8.2.3 Application Curves
The rise and fall times of the OUT signal depends on the capacitance of the MOSFET gate. Therefore, an
appropriate MOSFET must be selected to meet the switching speed and efficiency requirements of the system.
Figure 16 shows the rise and fall time curves as a function of capacitive load. Figure 17 shows output rise and
fall time measured on an application board, showing actual device performance. The testing conditions for this
figure are Cload= 2.2 nF, Rdrive = 1 Ω, and fs= 300 kHz.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The recommended bias supply voltage range for LM5112 is from 3.5 V to 14 V. The lower end of this range is
governed by the internal UVLO protection feature of the VCC supply circuit. The upper end of this range is driven
by the 14 V maximum recommended operating voltage rating of the VCC supply. It is recommended to keep
proper margin to allow for transient voltage spikes. The dedicated input ground pin (IN_REF) allows split output
supply operation. For such applications, ensure VEE is not connected to IN_REF.
The UVLO protection feature also involves a hysteresis function. This means that once the device is operating in
normal mode, if the VCC voltage drops, the device continues to operate in normal mode as long as the voltage
drop does not exceed the hysteresis specification, VCCH. If the voltage drop is greater than the hysteresis
specification, the device shuts down. Therefore, while operating at or near the 3.5 V range, the voltage ripple on
the auxiliary power supply output must be smaller than the hysteresis specification of LM5112 to avoid triggering
device-shutdown.
A low-ESR or low-ESL capacitor must be connected close to the IC and between the VCC and VEE pins to
support high peak currents being drawn from VCC during turnon of the MOSFET. Also, if input pin (IN or INB) is
not being used, it must be connected to VCC or IN_REF, respectively, to avoid spurious output signals.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Attention must be given to board layout when using the LM5112 device. Some important considerations include:
Proper grounding is crucial. The driver required a low impedance path for current return to ground avoiding
inductive loops. Two paths for returning current to ground are a) between the LM5112 device IN_REF pin and
the ground of the circuit that controls the driver inputs and b) between the LM5112 device VEE pin and the source
of the power MOSFET being driven. Both paths must be as short as possible to reduce inductance and be as
wide as possible to reduce resistance. These ground paths must be distinctly separate to avoid coupling between
the high current output paths and the logic signals that drive the LM5112 device. With rise and fall times in the
range of 10 nsec to 30 nsec, care is required to minimize the lengths of current carrying conductors to reduce
their inductance and EMI from the high di/dt transients generated when driving large capacitive loads.
10.1.1 Thermal Considerations
The primary goal of the thermal management is to maintain the integrated circuit (IC) junction temperature (TJ)
below a specified limit to ensure reliable long term operation. The maximum TJof IC components must be
estimated in worst case operating conditions. The junction temperature is calculated based on the power
dissipated on the IC and the junction to ambient thermal resistance RθJA for the IC package in the application
board and environment. The RθJA is not a given constant for the package and depends on the PCB design and
the operating environment.

10.1.1.1 Drive Power Requirement Calculations In LM5112
The LM5112 device is a single, low-side MOSFET driver capable of sourcing and sinking 3-A or 7-A peak
currents for short intervals to drive a MOSFET without exceeding package power dissipation limits. High peak
currents are required to switch the MOSFET gate quickly for operation at high frequencies.
Figure 18. MOSFET Driver Diagram
Figure 18 shows a conceptual diagram of the LM5112 device output and MOSFET load. Q1 and Q2 are the
switches within the gate driver. RGis the gate resistance of the external MOSFET, and Cin is the equivalent gate
capacitance of the MOSFET. The equivalent gate capacitance is a difficult parameter to measure as it is the
combination of CGD (gate to source capacitance) and CGD (gate to drain capacitance). The CGD is not a constant
and varies with the drain voltage. The better way of quantifying gate capacitance is the gate charge QGin
coloumbs. QGcombines the charge required by CGD and CGD for a given gate drive voltage VGATE. The gate
resistance RGis usually small and losses in it are neglected. The total power dissipated in the MOSFET driver
due to gate charge is approximated by Equation 1.
PDRIVER = VGATE × QG× FSW
where
FSW = switching frequency of the MOSFET (1)
For example, consider the MOSFET MTD6N15 whose gate charge specified as 30 nC for VGATE = 12 V.
Therefore, the power dissipation in the driver due to charging and discharging of MOSFET gate capacitances at
switching frequency of 300 kHz and VGATE of 12 V is equal to Equation 2.
PDRIVER = 12 V × 30 nC × 300 kHz = 0.108 W (2)
In addition to the above gate charge power dissipation, - transient power is dissipated in the driver during output
transitions. When either output of the LM5112 device changes state, current flows from VCC to VEE for a brief
interval of time through the output totem-pole N and P channel MOSFETs. The final component of power
dissipation in the driver is the power associated with the quiescent bias current consumed by the driver input
stage and Undervoltage lockout sections.

Layout Guidelines (continued)
Characterization of the LM5112 device provides accurate estimates of the transient and quiescent power
dissipation components. At 300 kHz switching frequency and 30 nC load used in the example, the transient
power is 8 mW. The 1 mA nominal quiescent current and 12 V VGATE supply produce a 12 mW typical quiescent
power.
Therefore, the total power dissipation is calculated with Equation 3.
PD= 0.118 + 0.008 + 0.012 = 0.138 W (3)
The junction temperature is given by Equation 4.
TJ= PD× RθJA + TA(4)
Or the rise in temperature is given by Equation 5.
TRISE = TJTA= PD× RθJA (5)
For 6-pin WSON package, the integrated circuit die is attached to leadframe die pad which is soldered directly to
the printed circuit board. This substantially decreases the junction to ambient thermal resistance (RθJA). By
providing suitable means of heat dispersion from the IC to the ambient through exposed copper pad, which can
readily dissipate heat to the surroundings, RθJA as low as 40°C/W is achievable with the package. The resulting
TRISE for the driver example above is thereby reduced to just 5.5°C.
Therefore, TRISE is equal to Equation 6.
TRISE = 0.138 × 40 = 5.5°C (6)
For MSOP-PowerPAD, RθJA is typically 60°C/W.
