LF21844N
Half-Bridge Gate Driver
Description
Features
LF21844N is a high voltage, high speed gate driver capable
of driving N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs in a half bridge
configuration. The high voltage technology enables the
LF21844N’s high side to switch to 600V in a bootstrap
operation.
Floating high-side driver in bootstrap operation to
600V
Drives two N-channel MOSFETs or IGBTs in a half-
bridge configuration
1.4A source / 1.7A sink output current capability
Outputs tolerant to negative transients
Programmable dead time to protect MOSFETs
The LF21844N logic inputs are compatible with standard
TTL and CMOS levels (down to 3.3V) to interface easily
with controlling devices. The driver outputs feature high
pulse current buffers designed for minimum driver cross
conduction. Programmable dead time, by an external
resistor, provides more system level flexibility.
Wide low-side gate driver supply voltage:
10V to 20V
Wide logic supply voltage offset voltage: -5V to 5V
Logic input (IN and SD*) 3.3V capability
Schmitt triggered logic inputs with internal
The LF21844N is offered in SOIC(N)-14 package. It operates
over the extended temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C .
