PMIC - Gate Drivers: LM5109ASD/NOPB Application Field and Working Principle

PMIC (Power Management IC) Gate Drivers are specialized ICs that are designed to speed up and optimize the functioning of power switches and make them perform more efficiently. The LM5109ASD/NOPB IC is specifically designed to switch heavy loads quickly, such as those in motors, generators, inverters, actuators, and similar applications. This device is designed to be used in both synchronous and asynchronous voltage-controlled applications, and is capable of driving up to 6A at 25V with a maximum rise time of 300ns and a maximum fall time of 400ns.

The LM5109ASD/NOPB is available in a small 3x3mm package, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. It has both an integrated high-side and low-side gate driver circuit, as well as a programmable slew rate and a separate enable pin to control the switching process. It also contains short-circuit and thermal protection circuitry to ensure safe and reliable operation.

The LM5109ASD/NOPB is suitable for applications where fast and robust switching is required. It is also capable of driving MOSFETs as well as BJTs without any current sensing requirement. And unlike traditional gate drivers, the LM5109ASD/NOPB has the ability to drive multiple gate banks with a single control signal, making it very cost-effective for high-power applications.

The working principle of the LM5109ASD/NOPB can be divided into two parts: the high-side gate driver and the low-side gate driver. The high-side gate driver is composed of two N-channel MOSFETs-Q1 and Q2-that are wired in parallel to provide fast switching performance. The low-side gate driver is composed of an NPN Darlington pair, consisting of Q3 and Q4, which are connected in series to reduce power dissipation and increase efficiency.

When the device is enabled, the high-side gate driver is driven by the PWM signal, which is then amplified by the high-side drivers, resulting in the switching of the high-side MOSFET. This in turn builds a voltage across the inductor, and a current then flows through the low-side MOSFET, switching it on. The current then flows through the load, completing the circuit. This process is repeated for each cycle and the duty cycle of the PWM signal is adjusted to control the power delivered to the load.

Other features of the LM5109ASD/NOPB include a maximum operating temperature of 125°C and a wide range of supply voltages, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It also includes an active current-limit protection feature that reduces the power dissipated in the circuit and increases overall system efficiency.

In summary, the LM5109ASD/NOPB is a highly versatile gate driver IC that is capable of driving up to 6A at 25V, with a fast switching speed and robust protection features. It is suitable for a wide range of applications where fast and efficient gate driving is required, and its small package size makes it an excellent choice for space-constrained applications.
