Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) ensure reliable operation of an electronics system by efficiently controlling and regulating power. A specialized type of PMIC is the Gate Driver, which amplifies and inverts small control signals to switch large voltages and currents at high speed, without producing a high-voltage arc across contacts, thereby reducing the impact of mechanical shock on device performance. The LM5111-1MYX/NOPB is a monolithic high-side and low-side gate driver IC specifically designed to drive MOSFETs and IGBTs used in high-voltage switching such as power conversion. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle of the LM5111-1MYX/NOPB gate driver IC.

Application Fields for the LM5111-1MYX/NOPB Gate Driver IC

The LM5111-1MYX/NOPB gate driver IC is suitable for driving N- and P- type MOSFETs and IGBTs in a variety of applications, such as Smart Power Switches, Automotive Powertrains, Power Supplies, Electromechanical Drives, and Electric Motor Control. It is also suitable for high-performance, high-reliability switching applications, such as Power Supplies, Industrial, and Desktops. Additionally, the LM5111-1MYX/NOPB gate driver IC can be used in applications involving AC and DC Power Distribution, Battery Management Systems, and Energy Storage Devices.

Working Principle

The LM5111-1MYX/NOPB gate driver IC operates by amplifying the control signal and applying the amplified input signals to its outputs. The control signal is amplified to the full voltage level of the power supply and applied to the outputs, allowing the gate drivers to provide both high- and low-side gate drive. This also allows them to switch both types of MOSFET or IGBT devices between on and off states with fast switching times and little voltage or current loss. The amplifier internally incorporates a level-shift comparator for voltage control and a sense amplifier for current control, allowing the LM5111-1MYX/NOPB gate driver IC to optimize its performance for a given charging or discharging load. The IC also contains a slew rate control to reduce output noise and an adaptive over-current protection to limit the drain current of the device. The IC’s built-in low-side under-voltage lockout protection prevents power losses during low-side switching.

Packaging and Pin Out

The LM5111-1MYX/NOPB gate driver IC is available in a 4mm x 4mm 20-pin QFN package. It has two high-side V BB pins for use in single-side or dual-side gate drive configurations, depending on the type of MOSFET or IGBT device used. It also has a shut-down pin to reduce quiescent current and stop the gate driver during operation. The low-side output is on pin 5, while pins 3 and 4 are used as the high-side outputs. In addition, the LM5111-1MYX/NOPB gate driver IC has Integrated Thermal Pad (ITP), which helps to spread the heat rapidly away from the IC, reducing localized heat build-up.

Features and Benefits

The LM5111-1MYX/NOPB gate driver IC is designed to drive both N- and P-type MOSFETs and IGBTs with low EMI and minimum power losses. It has the ability to switch between a wide variety of voltage levels and features a current limit, which prevents the load from being damaged in the event of a short circuit. The IC also has a built-in Low Leakage Mode (LLM) mode for protection against brief high voltage spikes, a low-side blocking diode for protection against inrush and crowbar currents, and an overvoltage protection (OVP) to protect against the effects of overvoltage events. Some of the specific features and benefits of the LM5111-1MYX/NOPB gate driver IC include:

• Integrated level-shift comparator for voltage control.
• Integrated sense amplifier for current control.
• Low-side Under-Voltage Lockout protection.
• Integrated Thermal Pad (ITP) to help spread heat.
• Open-drain outputs to effectively connect multiple devices.
• Over-voltage protection.
• Current limit protection.

Conclusion

The LM5111-1MYX/NOPB gate driver IC is a monolithic device designed to drive a wide variety of voltages and currents in a variety of applications, from Automotive Powertrains to Industrial and Desktops. It features a level-shift comparator for voltage control, sense amplifier for current control, low-side Under-Voltage Lockout protection, Integrated Thermal Pad (ITP) to help spread heat, Open-drain outputs to effectively connect multiple devices, and Over-voltage and Current limit protection. This makes it ideal for high-performance, high-reliability switching applications.
