Over 500mA Peak Driver Current
Adaptive Non-Overlap Gate Drives
Continuous Current Limit Protection
Auto Shutdown and Retry Capability
Internal Charge Pump for DC Operation
Built-In Gate Voltage Protection
Compatible with Current-Sensing MOSFETs
TTL/CMOS Input Levels
Fault Output Indication
A single input pin on the LT1158 synchronously controls
two N-channel power MOSFETs in a totem pole configuration. Unique adaptive protection against shoot-through
currents eliminates all matching requirements for the two
MOSFETs. This greatly eases the design of high efficiency
motor control and switching regulator systems.
A continuous current limit loop in the LT1158 regulates
short-circuit current in the top power MOSFET. Higher
start-up currents are allowed as long as the MOSFET VDS
does not exceed 1.2V. By returning the fault output to the
enable input, the LT1158 will automatically shut down in
the event of a fault and retry when an internal pull-up
current has recharged the enable capacitor.

■
■
■
An on-chip charge pump is switched in when needed to
turn on the top N-channel MOSFET continuously. Special
circuitry ensures that the top side gate drive is safely
maintained in the transition between PWM and DC operation. The gate-to-source voltages are internally limited to
14.5V when operating at higher supply voltages.

Note 1: TJ is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power
dissipation PD according to the following formulas:
LT1158IN, LT1158CN: TJ = TA + (PD × 70°C/W)
LT1158IS, LT1158CS: TJ = TA + (PD × 110°C/W)
Note 2: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See typical performance
characteristics and applications information.
Note 3: Gate rise times are measured from 2V to 10V, delay times are
measured from the input transition to when the gate voltage has decreased
to 10V, and fall times are measured from 10V to 2V.

Pin 1 (Boost Drive): Recharges and clamps the bootstrap
capacitor to 14.5V higher than pin 13 via an external diode.
Pin 10 (V +): Bottom side driver supply; must be connected to the same supply as pin 2.
Pin 2 (V +): Main supply pin; must be closely decoupled to
the ground pin 7.
Pin 11 (Sense Negative): The floating reference for the
current limit comparator. Connects to the low side of a
current shunt or Kelvin lead of a current-sensing MOSFET.
When pin 11 is within 1.2V of V +, current limit is inhibited.
Pin 3 (Bias): Decouple point for the internal 2.6V bias
generator. Pin 3 cannot have any external DC loading.
Pin 4 (Enable): When left open, the LT1158 operates
normally. Pulling pin 4 low holds both MOSFETs off
regardless of the input state.
Pin 5 (Fault): Open collector NPN output which turns on
when V12 – V11 exceeds the fault conduction threshold.
Pin 6 (Input): Taking pin 6 high turns the top MOSFET on
and bottom MOSFET off; pin 6 low reverses these states.
An input latch captures each low state, ignoring an ensuing high until pin 13 has gone below 2.6V.
Pin 12 (Sense Positive): Connects to the high side of the
current shunt or sense lead of a current-sensing MOSFET.
A built-in offset between pins 11 and 12 in conjunction
with RSENSE sets the top MOSFET short-circuit current.
Pin 13 (Top Source): Top side driver return; connects to
MOSFET source and low side of the bootstrap capacitor.
Pin 14 (Top Gate Feedback): Must connect directly to the
top power MOSFET gate. The bottom MOSFET turn-on is
inhibited until V14 – V13 has discharged to 1.75V. An onchip charge pump also feeds the top gate via pin 14.
Pin 8 (Bottom Gate Feedback): Must connect directly to
the bottom power MOSFET gate. The top MOSFET turn-on
is inhibited until pin 8 has discharged to 1.5V. A hold-on
current source also feeds the bottom gate via pin 8.
Pin 15 (Top Gate Drive): The high current drive point for
the top MOSFET. When a gate resistor is used, it is inserted
between pin 15 and the gate of the MOSFET.
Pin 9 (Bottom Gate Drive): The high current drive point
for the bottom MOSFET. When a gate resistor is used, it is
inserted between pin 9 and the gate of the MOSFET.
Pin 16 (Boost): Top side driver supply; connects to the
high side of the bootstrap capacitor and to a diode either
from supply (V + < 10V) or from pin 1 (V + > 10V).

OPERATIO (Refer to Functional Diagram)
The LT1158 self-enables via an internal 25µA pull-up on
the enable pin 4. When pin 4 is pulled down, much of the
input logic is disabled, reducing supply current to 2mA.
With pin 4 low, the input state is ignored and both MOSFET
gates are actively held low. With pin 4 enabled, one or the
other of the 2 MOSFETs is turned on, depending on the
state of the input pin 6: high for top side on, and low for
bottom side on. The 1.4V input threshold is regulated and
has 200mV of hysteresis.
Whenever there is an input transition on pin 6, the LT1158
follows a logical sequence to turn off one MOSFET and
turn on the other. First, turn-off is initiated, then VGS is
monitored until it has decreased below the turn-off threshold, and finally the other gate is turned on. An input latch
gets reset by every low state at pin 6, but can only be set
if the top source pin has gone low, indicating that there will
be sufficient charge in the bootstrap capacitor to safely
turn on the top MOSFET.
In order to allow operation over 5V to 30V nominal supply
voltages, an internal bias generator is employed to furnish
constant bias voltages and currents. The bias generator is
decoupled at pin 3 to eliminate any effects from switching
transients. No DC loading is allowed on pin 3.
In order to conserve power, the gate drivers only provide
turn-on current for up to 2µs, set by internal one-shot
circuits. Each LT1158 driver can deliver 500mA for 2µs, or
1000nC of gate charge –– more than enough to turn on
multiple MOSFETs in parallel. Once turned on, each gate is
held high by a DC gate sustaining current: the bottom gate
by a 100µA current source, and the top gate by an on-chip
charge pump running at approximately 500kHz.
The top and bottom gate drivers in the LT1158 each utilize
two gate connections: 1) A gate drive pin, which provides
the turn-on and turn-off currents through an optional
series gate resistor; and 2) A gate feedback pin which
connects directly to the gate to monitor the gate-to-source
voltage and supply the DC gate sustaining current.
The floating supply for the top side driver is provided by
a bootstrap capacitor between the boost pin 16 and top
source pin 13. This capacitor is recharged each time pin
7
LT1158
U
OPERATIO
(Refer to Functional Diagram)
13 goes low in PWM operation, and is maintained by the
charge pump when the top MOSFET is on DC. A regulated
boost driver at pin 1 employs a source-referenced 15V
clamp that prevents the bootstrap capacitor from overcharging regardless of V + or output transients.
The LT1158 provides a current-sense comparator and
fault output circuit for protection of the top power MOSFET.
The comparator input pins 11 and 12 are normally connected across a shunt in the source of the top power
MOSFET (or to a current-sensing MOSFET). When pin 11
is more than 1.2V below V + and V12 – V11 exceeds the
110mV offset, fault pin 5 begins to sink current. During a
short circuit, the feedback loop regulates V12 – V11 to
150mV, thereby limiting the top MOSFET current.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Power MOSFET Selection
Since the LT1158 inherently protects the top and bottom
MOSFETs from simultaneous conduction, there are no
size or matching constraints. Therefore selection can be
made based on the operating voltage and RDS(ON)
requirements. The MOSFET BVDSS should be at least
2 × VSUPPLY, and should be increased to 3 × VSUPPLY in
harsh environments with frequent fault conditions. For the
LT1158 maximum operating supply of 30V, the MOSFET
BVDSS should be from 60V to 100V.
The MOSFET RDS(ON) is specified at TJ = 25°C and is
generally chosen based on the operating efficiency required as long as the maximum MOSFET junction temperature is not exceeded. The dissipation in each MOSFET
is given by:
( )( )
P = D IDS
2
1 + ∂ RDS(ON)
where D is the duty cycle and ∂ is the increase in RDS(ON)
at the anticipated MOSFET junction temperature. From
this equation the required RDS(ON) can be derived:
RDS(ON) =
P
( ) (1+ ∂)
D IDS
2
For example, if the MOSFET loss is to be limited to 2W
when operating at 5A and a 90% duty cycle, the required
RDS(ON) would be 0.089Ω/(1 + ∂). (1 + ∂) is given for each
MOSFET in the form of a normalized RDS(ON) vs. temperature curve, but ∂ = 0.007/°C can be used as an approximation for low voltage MOSFETs. Thus if TA = 85°C and the
available heat sinking has a thermal resistance of 20°C/W,
8
the MOSFET junction temperature will be 125°C, and
∂ = 0.007(125 – 25) = 0.7. This means that the required
RDS(ON) of the MOSFET will be 0.089Ω/1.7 = 0.0523Ω,
which can be satisfied by an IRFZ34.
Note that these calculations are for the continuous operating condition; power MOSFETs can sustain far higher
dissipations during transients. Additional RDS(ON) constraints are discussed under Starting High In-Rush Current Loads.

When the above calculations result in a lower RDS(ON) than
is economically feasible with a single MOSFET, two or
more MOSFETs can be paralleled. The MOSFETs will
inherently share the currents according to their RDS(ON)
ratio. The LT1158 top and bottom drivers can each drive
four power MOSFETs in parallel with only a small loss in
switching speeds (see Typical Performance Characteristics). Individual gate resistors may be required to
“decouple” each MOSFET from its neighbors to prevent

high frequency oscillations –– consult manufacturer’s recommendations. If individual gate decoupling resistors are
used, the gate feedback pins can be connected to any one
of the gates.
Driving multiple MOSFETs in parallel may restrict the
operating frequency at high supply voltages to prevent
over-dissipation in the LT1158 (see Gate Charge and
Driver Dissipation below). When the total gate capacitance exceeds 10,000pF on the top side, the bootstrap
capacitor should be increased proportionally above 0.1µF.
Gate Charge and Driver Dissipation
A useful indicator of the load presented to the driver by a
power MOSFET is the total gate charge QG, which includes
the additional charge required by the gate-to-drain swing.
QG is usually specified for VGS = 10V and VDS = 0.8VDS(MAX).
When the supply current is measured in a switching
application, it will be larger than given by the DC electrical
characteristics because of the additional supply current
associated with sourcing the MOSFET gate charge:
 dQ 
 dQ 
ISUPPLY = IDC +  G 
+  G
 dt  TOP  dt  BOTTOM
The actual increase in supply current is slightly higher due
to LT1158 switching losses and the fact that the gates are
being charged to more than 10V. Supply current vs.
switching frequency is given in the Typical Performance
Characteristics.
The LT1158 junction temperature can be estimated by
using the equations given in Note 1 of the electrical
characteristics. For example, the LT1158SI is limited to
less than 25mA from a 24V supply:
TJ = 85°C + (25mA × 24V × 110°C/W)
= 151°C exceeds absolute maximum
In order to prevent the maximum junction temperature
from being exceeded, the LT1158 supply current must be
checked with the actual MOSFETs operating at the maximum switching frequency.
MOSFET Gate Drive Protection
For supply voltages of over 8V, the LT1158 will protect
standard N-channel MOSFETs from under or overvoltage
gate drive conditions for any input duty cycle including DC.
Gate-to-source zener clamps are not required and not
recommended since they can reduce operating efficiency.
A discontinuity in tracking between the output pulse width
and input pulse width may be noted as the top side
MOSFET approaches 100% duty cycle. As the input low
signal becomes narrower, it may become shorter than the
time required to recharge the bootstrap capacitor to a safe
voltage for the top side driver. Below this duty cycle the
output pulse width will stop tracking the input until the
input low signal is <100ns, at which point the output will
jump to the DC condition of top MOSFET “on” and bottom
MOSFET “off.”
Low Voltage Operation
The LT1158 can operate from 5V supplies (4.5V min.) and
in 6V battery-powered applications by using logic-level
N-channel power MOSFETs. These MOSFETs have 2V
maximum threshold voltages and guaranteed RDS(ON)
limits at VGS = 4V. The switching speed of the LT1158,
unlike CMOS drivers, does not degrade at low supply
voltages. For operation down to 4.5V, the boost pin should
be connected as shown in Figure 2 to maximize gate drive
to the top side MOSFET. Supply voltages over 10V should
not be used with logic-level MOSFETs because of their
lower maximum gate-to-source voltage rating.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Ugly Transient Issues
In PWM applications the drain current of the top MOSFET
is a square wave at the input frequency and duty cycle. To
prevent large voltage transients at the top drain, a low ESR
electrolytic capacitor must be used and returned to the
power ground. The capacitor is generally in the range of
250µF to 5000µF and must be physically sized for the
RMS current flowing in the drain to prevent heating and
premature failure. In addition, the LT1158 requires a
separate 10µF capacitor connected closely between pins
2 and 7.
The LT1158 top source and sense pins are internally
protected against transients below ground and above
supply. However, the gate drive pins cannot be forced
below ground. In most applications, negative transients
coupled from the source to the gate of the top MOSFET do
not cause any problems. However, in some high current
(10A and above) motor control applications, negative
transients on the top gate drive may cause early tripping
of the current limit. A small Schottky diode (BAT85) from
pin 15 to ground avoids this problem.
Switching Regulator Applications
The LT1158 is ideal as a synchronous switch driver to
improve the efficiency of step-down (buck) switching
regulators. Most step-down regulators use a high current
Schottky diode to conduct the inductor current when the
switch is off. The fractions of the oscillator period that the
switch is on (switch conducting) and off (diode conducting) are given by:
V 
SWITCH “ON” =  OUT  × TOTAL PERIOD
 VIN 
V −V 
SWITCH “OFF” =  IN OUT  × TOTAL PERIOD
VIN 

Note that for VIN > 2VOUT, the switch is off longer than it is
on, making the diode losses more significant than the
switch. The worst case for the diode is during a short
circuit, when VOUT approaches zero and the diode conducts the short-circuit current almost continuosly.
Figure 3 shows the LT1158 used to synchronously drive a
pair of power MOSFETs in a step-down regulator application, where the top MOSFET is the switch and the bottom
MOSFET replaces the Schottky diode. Since both conduction paths have low losses, this approach can result in very
high efficiency –– from 90% to 95% in most applications.
And for regulators under 5A, using low RDS(ON) N-channel
MOSFETs eliminates the need for heatsinks.

Figure 4. Typical Efficiency Curve for Step-Down
Regulator with Synchronous Switch
One fundamental difference in the operation of a stepdown regulator with synchronous switching is that it never
becomes discontinuous at light loads. The inductor current doesn’t stop ramping down when it reaches zero, but
actually reverses polarity resulting in a constant ripple
current independent of load. This does not cause any
efficiency loss as might be expected, since the negative
inductor current is returned to VIN when the switch turns
back on.
The LT1158 performs the synchronous MOSFET drive and
current sense functions in a step-down switching regulator. A reference and PWM are required to complete the
regulator. Any voltage-mode PWM controller may be
used, but the LT3525 is particularly well suited to high
power, high efficiency applications such as the 10A circuit
shown in Figure 13. In higher current regulators a small
Schottky diode across the bottom MOSFET helps to reduce reverse-recovery switching losses.
The LT1158 input pin can also be driven directly with a
ramp or sawtooth. In this case, the DC level of the input
waveform relative to the 1.4V threshold sets the LT1158
duty cycle. In the 5V to 3.3V converter circuit shown in
Figure 11, an LT1431 controls the DC level of a triangle
wave generated by a CMOS 555. The Figure 10 and 12
circuits use an RC network to ramp the LT1158 input
back up to its 1.4V threshold following each switch
cycle, setting a constant off time. Figure 4 shows the
Current is sensed by the LT1158 by measuring the voltage
across a current shunt (low valued resistor). Normally,
this shunt is placed in the source lead of the top MOSFET
(see Short-Circuit Protection in Bridge Applications).
However, in step-down switching regulator applications,
the remote current sensing capability of the LT1158 allows
the actual inductor current to be sensed. This is done by
placing the shunt in the output lead of the inductor as
shown in Figure 3. Routing of the sense + and sense– PC
traces is critical to prevent stray pickup. These traces must
be routed together at minimum spacing and use a Kelvin
connection at the shunt.
When the voltage across RSENSE exceeds 110mV, the
LT1158 fault pin begins to conduct. By feeding the fault
signal back to a control input of the PWM, the LT1158 will
assume control of the duty cycle forming a true current
mode loop to limit the output current:
IOUT =
110mV
in current limit
RSENSE
In LT3525 based circuits, connecting the fault pin to the
LT3525 soft-start pin accomplishes this function. In circuits where the LT1158 input is being driven with a ramp
or sawtooth, the fault pin is used to pull down the DC level
of the input.
The constant off-time circuits shown in Figures 10 and 12
are unique in that they also use the current sense during
normal operation. The LT1431 output reduces the normal
LT1158 110mV fault conduction threshold such that the
fault pin conducts at the required load current, thus
discharging the input ramp capacitor. In current limit the
LT1431 output turns off, allowing the fault conduction
threshold to reach its normal value.
The resistor RGS shown in Figure 3 is necessary to prevent
output voltage overshoot due to charge coupled into the
gate of the top MOSFET by a large start-up dv/dt on VIN. If
DC operation of the top MOSFET is required, RGS must be
330k or greater to prevent loading the charge pump.

Low Current Shutdown
The LT1158 may be shutdown to a current level of 2mA by
pulling the enable pin 4 low. In this state both the top and
bottom MOSFETs are actively held off against any transients which might occur on the output during shutdown.
This is important in applications such as 3-phase DC
motor control when one of the phases is disabled while the
other two are switching.
The sense+ and sense– PC traces must be routed together
at minimum spacing to prevent stray pickup, and a Kelvin
connection must be used at the current shunt for the 3lead MOSFET. Using a twisted pair is the safest approach
and is recommended for sense runs of several inches.
When the voltage across RSENSE exceeds 110mV, the
LT1158 fault pin begins to conduct, signaling a fault
condition. The current in a short circuit ramps very rapidly,
limited only by the series inductance and ultimately the
MOSFET and shunt resistance. Due to the response time
of the LT1158 current limit loop, an initial current spike of
If zero standby current is required and the load returns to
ground, then a switch can be inserted into the supply path
of the LT1158 as shown in Figure 5. Resistor RGS ensures
that the top MOSFET gate discharges, while the voltage
across the bottom MOSFET goes to zero. The voltage drop
across the P-channel supply switch must be less than
300mV, and RGS must be 330k or greater for DC operation.
This technique is not recommended for applications which
require the LT1158 VDS sensing function.

momentary short.

tSHUTDOWN becomes more difficult to analyze when the
output is shorted with a PWM input. This is because the
fault pin only conducts when fault currents are actually
present in the MOSFET. Fault does not conduct while the
input is low in Figures 6 and 7 or during the interval IDS =
0 in Figure 8. Thus tSHUTDOWN will safely increase when
the duty cycle of the current in the top MOSFET is low,
maintaining the average MOSFET current at a relatively
constant level.
The length of time following shutdown before restart is
attempted is given by:

In Figure 9, the top MOSFET would shut down after being
in DC current limit for 0.9ms and try to restart at 60ms
intervals, thus producing a duty cyle of 1.5% in short
circuit. The resulting average top MOSFET dissipation
during a short is easily measured by taking the product of
the supply voltage and the average supply current.

Properly sizing the MOSFET for ISTART allows inductive
loads with long time constants, such as motors with high
mechanical inertia, to be started.
Returning to the example used in Power MOSFET Selection, an IRFZ34 (RDS(ON) = 0.05Ω max.) was selected for
operation at 5A. If the short-circuit current is also set at 5A,
what start current can be supported? From the equation
for RSENSE, a 0.03Ω shunt would be required, allowing the
worst-case start current to be calculated:
ISTART =
1 .2V
(1.7)0.05 Ω +0.03Ω
= 10A
This calculation gives the minimum current which could
be delivered with the IRFZ34 at TJ = 125°C without activating the fault pin on the LT1158. If more start current is
required, using an IRFZ44 (RDS(ON) = 0.028Ω max.) would
increase ISTART to over 15A at TJ = 110°C, even though the
short-circuit current remains at 5A.
In order for the VDS sensing function to work properly, the
supply pins for the LT1158 must be connected at the drain
of the top MOSFET, which must be properly decoupled
(see Ugly Transient Issues).
Driving Lamps
Incandescent lamps represent a challenging load because
they have much in common with a short circuit when cold.

MOSFET. The LT1158 will then go into the automatic
restart mode described in Self-Protection with Automatic
Restart above.
The time constant for an incandescent filament is tens of
milliseconds, which means that tSHUTDOWN will have to be
longer than in most other applications. This places increased SOA demands on the MOSFET during a short
circuit, requiring that a larger than normal device be used.
A protected high current lamp driver application is shown
in Figure 18.
A good guideline is to choose RSENSE to set ISC at approximately twice the steady state “on” current of the lamp(s).
tSHUTDOWN is then made long enough to guarantee that the
lamp filaments heat and drop out of current limit before the
enable capacitor discharges to the enable low threshold.
For a short circuit, the enable capacitor will continue to
discharge below the threshold, shutting down the top
