100V, 2A Peak, Half-Bridge Driver with Tri-Level PWM
Input and Adjustable Dead-Time
ISL78420
Features
The ISL78420 is a 100V, high frequency, half-bridge MOSFET
driver with a tri-level PWM input. This part is a derivative of the
HIP2121 half-bridge driver. The non-automotive version of the
ISL78420 is the HIP2124.
• Programmable break-before-make dead-time prevents
shoot-through and is adjustable up to 220ns
• Bootstrap supply maximum voltage to 114VDC
• Wide supply voltage range (8V to 14V)
• Supply undervoltage protection
This driver is designed to work in conjunction with the ISL78220,
“6-Phase Interleaved Boost PWM Controller with Light Load
Efficiency Enhancement”. Equally, it can be used in most
applications where a half-bridge driver is used.
• On-chip 1Ω bootstrap diode
• Unique tri-level PWM input logic enables phase shedding when
using multi-phase PWM controllers (e.g. ISL78220/225)
This driver has a programmable dead-time to ensure
break-before-make operation between the high-side and low-side
drivers. A resistor is used to adjust the dead-time up to 220ns.
• 9 Ld TDFN “B” package compliant with 100V conductor
spacing guidelines per IPC-2221
• AEC-Q100 Qualified
The tri-level input allows the PWM input to also function as a
disable input. When the PWM input is a logic high, the high-side
bridge FET is turned on and the low-side FET is off. When the
input is a logic low, the low-side bridge FET is turned on and the
high-side FET is turned off. When the input voltage is midrange,
both the high and low-side bridge FETs are turned off.
Applications
• Automotive applications
• Multi-phase boost (ISL78220/225)
• Half-bridge DC/DC converter
• Class-D amplifiers
The enable pin (EN), when low, drives both outputs to a low state.
This input is used when the controller does not utilize a tri-state
• Forward converter with active clamp
output. All logic inputs are V tolerant.

Two package options are provided. The 10 Ld 4x4 DFN package
has standard pinouts. The 9 Ld 4x4 DFN package omits pin 2 to
comply with 100V conductor spacing per IPC-2221.
