100V, 2A Peak, Half-Bridge Driver with Tri-Level PWM Input and Adjustable
Dead-Time
The ISL78420 is a 100V, 2A high frequency half-bridge NMOS
Features
FET driver with a tri-level PWM input. With an operating supply
• 114VDC bootstrap supply maximum voltage
range of 8V to 14V and integrated high-side bootstrap bias, it
supports driving the high-side and low-side NMOS in 100V half-
bridge applications.
• 2A source and sink driver for 100V half-bridge NMOS FETs
• Programmable dead-time prevents shoot-through;
adjustable from 35ns to 220ns with a single resistor
This driver is designed to work in conjunction with the
ISL78220 and ISL78225 “Multi-Phase Interleaved Boost PWM
Controller” and the ISL78226 “6-Phase 12V/48V Bidirectional
Synchronous PWM Controller”. It can also be used in
• Unique tri-level PWM input logic enables phase shedding
when using multiphase PWM controllers (e.g.
ISL78220/225/226)
applications where a standard half-bridge driver is needed.
• On-chip 1Ω (dynamic) bootstrap diode
• 10ns rise and fall times with 1000pF load
• 8V to 14V operating voltage range
This driver has a programmable dead-time to ensure
break-before-make operation between the high-side and low-
side MOSFET. A resistor is used to set the dead-time from 35ns
to 220ns.
• V and Boostrap supply Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

The PWM pin’s tri-level input allows control of the high-side
and low-side drivers with a single pin. When the PWM input is
at logic high, the high-side bridge FET is turned on and the low-
side FET is off. When the input is at logic low, the low-side
bridge FET is turned on and the high-side FET is turned off.
When the input voltage is in mid-level state, both the high and
low-side bridge FETs are turned off. The enable pin (EN), when
low, also turns both bridge FETs off. This EN input can be used
when the controller driving the ISL78420 does not utilize a tri-
• 14 Ld HTSSOP package compliant with 100V conductor
spacing guidelines per IPC-2221
• AEC-Q100 qualified
Applications
• Automotive applications
• 12V/48V bi-directional converter (ISL78226)
• Multiphase boost (ISL78220/225)
• Class-D amplifiers
level output. Both PWM and EN logic inputs are V tolerant.
DD
