SGM48523/SGM48524A
SGM48525/SGM48526
Dual 5A, High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Drivers
with Negative Input Voltage Capability
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The SGM48523/4A/5/6 are dual high-speed low-side
gate drivers for MOSFET and IGBT power switches.
They have rail-to-rail driving capability and can sink and
source up to 5A peak current with capacitive loads. The
propagation delays are very short and well matched
between the two channels that make the device very fit
for applications that need accurate dual gate driving
such as synchronous rectifiers. The matched
propagation delays also allow for paralleling the two
channels when higher driving current is required for
example for paralleled switches. The input voltage
thresholds are fixed, independent of supply voltage
(VDD) and are compatible with low voltage TTL and
CMOS logic. Noise immunity is excellent due to the
wide hysteresis window between the input low and high
thresholds. The devices have internal pull-up/pull-down
resistors on the input pins to ensure low state on the
driver outputs when the inputs are floating.
● Two Independent Gate Drive Channels
● 4.5V to 18V Single Supply Range (VDD)
● 5A Peak Source/Sink Pulse Current Drive
● Independent Enable Pin for Each Channel
● TTL and CMOS Compatible Logic Threshold
● Logic Levels Independent of Supply Voltage
● Hysteretic Input Logic for High Noise Immunity
● Outputs are Logic Low when Inputs are Floating
● Negative Voltage Handling Capability:
-8V DC at Inputs
-2V, 200ns Pulse for Outputs (OUTx)
● Glitch-Free Operation at Power-Up and Power-
Down: Outputs Pulled Low during Supply UVLO
● Fast Propagation Delays: 18ns (TYP)
● Fast Rise Time: 8ns (TYP)
● Fast Fall Time: 8ns (TYP)
● Delay Matching between Two Channels: 1ns (TYP)
● Channels can be Paralleled for Higher Drive Current
● -40℃ to +140℃ Operating Temperature Range
● Packaging:
The SGM48523/4A/5 offer 3 logic options: dual inverting
(SGM48523), dual non-inverting (SGM48524A), and
one inverting and one non-inverting (SGM48525). They
have independent enable pins (ENA and ENB) for each
channel with active-high logic that can be left open for
normal operation because of internal pull-up to VDD.
The SGM48526 offers a flexible dual input design
which can be configured as inverting (-INx) or
non-inverting (+INx) for each channel. Both inputs
(+INx or -INx) can control the output state. Typically,
one input is used for gate pulse and the other one is
used for enable/disable function.
