The ISL78424, ISL78434, and ISL78444 are Automotive
Grade (AEC-Q100 Grade 1) high voltage, high
frequency, half-bridge NMOS FET drivers for driving
the gates of up to 70V half-bridge topologies.
Features
• Patented gate-sensed adaptive dead time control
provides shoot-through protection and mimized dead
time
The family of half-bridge drivers feature 3A sourcing,
4A sinking peak gate drive current. The ISL78424 and
ISL78444 feature a single tri-level PWM input for
controlling both gate drivers. The ISL78434 has dual
independent inputs for controlling the high-side and
low-side driver separately. The ISL78424 and ISL78434
have independent sourcing and sinking pins for each gate
driver while ISL78444 has a single combined
• Unique tri-level PWM input for integration with
Renesas multiphase controllers (for example,
ISL78225 and ISL78226)
• 3A sourcing and 4A sinking output current
• On-chip 3Ω bootsrap FET switch
• Programmable dead time delay with single resistor
• Tri-level PWM input (ISL78424, ISL78444)
• Independent HI/LI inputs (ISL78434)
sourcing/sinking output for each gate driver.
Strong gate drive strength and the Adaptive Dead Time
(ADT) feature allow this family of drivers to switch high

topologies at high operating frequencies while providing
shoot-through protection and minimizing dead time
switching losses.
• Bootstrap and VDD Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
• Wide supply range: 8V to 18V
• Bootstrap supply maximum voltage: 100V
• Maximum phase voltage: 86V
The ISL78424, ISL78434, and ISL78444 are offered in a 14
Ld HTSSOP package that complies with 100V conductor
spacing per IPC-2221B. The ISL78444 is pin compatible
with the ISL78420. All devices are specified across a
wide ambient temperature range of -40°C to +140°C.
• Minimum phase voltage: -10V
Applications
• Automotive half-bridge and 3-phase motor driver
