100V, 2A Peak, Half-Bridge Driver with Tri-Level PWM
Input and Adjustable Dead-Time
ISL78420
Features
The ISL78420 is a 100V, 2A high frequency half-bridge NMOS
FET driver with a tri-level PWM input. With an operating supply
voltage range of 8V to 14V, it supports a 114V bootstrap bias for
driving the high-side NMOS in 100V half-bridge applications. This
part is a derivative of the industrial family of HIP2120-HIP2123
100V half-bridge drivers.
• 114VDC bootstrap supply maximum voltage
This driver is designed to work in conjunction with the ISL78220
and ISL78225 “Multi-Phase Interleaved Boost PWM Controller
with Light Load Efficiency Enhancement”. It can also be used in
applications where a standard half-bridge driver is needed.
• 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
• Unique tri-level PWM input logic enables phase shedding when
using multiphase PWM controllers (e.g. ISL78220/225)
• 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.
• 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-level output.
Both PWM and EN logic inputs are VDD tolerant.
Applications
The ISL78420 is offered in a 14 Ld HTSSOP package and
complies with 100V conductor spacing per IPC-2221. The device
is Automotive AEC-Q100 qualified for the temperature range of
-40°C to +125°C.
• 14 Ld HTSSOP package compliant with 100V conductor
spacing guidelines per IPC-2221
• AEC-Q100 qualified
• Automotive applications
• Multiphase boost (ISL78220/225)
• Half-bridge DC/DC converter
• Class-D amplifiers

ISL78420
Functional Description
Gate Drive for NMOS Half-Bridge
The ISL78420 is a NMOS FET driver for up to 100V half-bridge
configurations. In a half-bridge configuration the low-side FET
source is connected to ground while the low-side FET drain and
the high-side FET source are connected together to form the
phase or switching node. The drain of the high-side FET is
connected to the high voltage power supply.
The gate of the low-side FET requires a ground referenced drive
signal to switch on and off. The signal needs to be above the gate
threshold VGS of the FET. The gate drive of the high-side FET is
more challenging and is what the ISL78420 is designed for. The
high-side FET source is the phase node, which switches between
ground and the high voltage supply connected to the high-side
FET drain. The gate voltage needs to be above the source voltage
by VGS to turn on (the source can be as high as 100V). A
bootstrap circuit is implemented to generate a bias voltage
above the voltage seen at the phase node to drive the gate of the
high-side FET.
Key properties of a half-bridge gate driver are:
1. Gate drive signals needs to be sufficiently higher than the VGS
specified in MOSFET datasheets for proper operation. For 60V
to 100V NMOS FETs the gate threshold is in the range of 2V to
4V. For switching operation, the VGS is typically specified in a
range of 8V to 12V.
2. Gate drive signal needs to provide sufficient current to charge
and discharge the dynamic gate capacitance of power
MOSFETs in the target switching frequencies up to 1MHz. For
60V to 100V NMOS FETs, the typical gate charge can be as
high as 80nC.
Functional Overview
The ISL78420 is a 100V, 2A high frequency half-bridge driver
designed to deliver the fast gate charge needed to switch
half-bridge configured NMOS FETs. The ISL78420 features a
tri-level logic input to control the high- and low-side gate driver
using only a single input pin. Typically, bridge drivers have
independent inputs to add dead-time control. The ISL78420 also
features a dead-time control allowing the user to program dead
time from a range of 35ns to 220ns with a single resistor to
ground.
A unique feature of the ISL78420 is the PWM pin’s tri-level logic
input. It 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 tri-level
state, both the high and low-side bridge FETs are turned off. This
driver is designed to work in conjunction with the ISL78220,
“6-Phase Interleaved Boost PWM Controller with Light Load
Efficiency Enhancement” and with the ISL78225 “4-Phase
Interleaved Boost PWM Controller with Light Load Efficiency
Enhancement”. The enable pin (EN) when low turns both bridge
FETs off. The EN input is used when the interfacing controller
does not utilize a tri-level output. Both PWM and EN logic inputs
are VDD tolerant.

The ISL78420 high-side driver bias is established by the internal
boot diode and the external boot capacitor connected between
the HB and HS pins. The charge on the boot capacitor is provided
by the internal boot diode that is connected from VDD to HB
(referred to as boot refresh). The current path to charge the boot
capacitor occurs when the low-side bridge FET is on, which takes
the phase node (HS pin) to ground. The charge current is limited
in amplitude by the internal resistance of the boot diode and the
low-side FET rDS(ON). Assuming that the on time of the low-side
FET is sufficiently long to fully charge the boot capacitor, the boot
voltage on the HB pin (VHB) will charge to VDD minus the boot
diode drop and the on-voltage of the low-side bridge FET.
When the PWM input transitions high, the high-side bridge FET is
driven on after the low-side FET is turned off. The HS node is
connected to the source of the high-side FET and the HS node will
rise almost to the level of the bridge voltage VBRIDGE (minus the
on-voltage drop across the high-side FET). The boot capacitor
voltage is referenced to the source voltage of the high-side FET so
the VHB voltage is approximately VDD volts above the HS node
and the boot diode is reversed biased by VBRIDGE. Because the
high-side driver circuit is referenced to the HS node, the HO
output is now approximately VHB + VBRIDGE above ground. More
importantly the HO gate drive is approximately VDD above the HS
node to provide the proper VGS to turn on the high-side FET.
During the low-to-high transition of the HS node, the boot
capacitor supplies the necessary charge current to fully turn on
the high-side FET gate. After the gate is fully charged, the boot
capacitor voltage continues to provide bias to the high-side gate
to keep the FET on. The stored charge of the boot capacitor must
be substantially larger than the required gate charge of the
high-side FET and the bias current of the high-side driver
otherwise the boot voltage will sag excessively. If the boot
capacitor value is too small for the required on-time of the
high-side FET, causing the boot voltage to drop below the
high-side bias HB pin UVLO falling threshold (6.3V typical), the
high-side driver is disabled resulting in undesireable operation.
See “Selecting the Boot Capacitor Value” on page 10 for
choosing the proper capacitor value.
Application Information
Selecting the Boot Capacitor Value
The boot capacitor value is chosen not only to supply the internal
bias current of the high-side driver but also, and more
significantly, to provide the gate charge of the high-side driven
FET without causing the boot voltage to sag excessively. As good
practice, the boot capacitor should have a total charge that is
10x to 20x the gate charge of the power FET to achieve a 5% to
10% drop in voltage after the charge has been transferred from
the boot capacitor to the gate capacitance. The high-side driver
bias voltage is VDD - VF where VF is the voltage drop of the boot
diode. If the boot voltage (HB - HS) is allowed to drop below the
HB UVLO falling threshold (6.3V typical) this will disable the
high-side driver.
The boot capacitor is discharged by three means:
1. The bias current of the high-side gate driver.
FN8296.3
November 6, 2014
ISL78420
2. Current flowing through the resistor across the gate-to-source
of the high-side FET.
3. Gate current when the high-side FET is turned ON.
The boot capacitor is recharged through the boot diode internal
to the ISL78420 during the time the low-side FET turns on, taking
the HS pin to ground. The ISL78420's internal boot diode has a
typical dynamic impedance of 0.8Ω, which recharges the boot
capacitor quickly. The low dynamic impedance allows the
ISL78420 to drive the high frequency half-bridge, depending on
the boot capacitor value used.
The following parameters are required to calculate the value of
the boot capacitor for a specific amount of voltage droop. In this
example, the values used are arbitrary. They should be changed
to comply with the actual application.

The input capacitor to the VDD pin serves two main purposes. It
provides AC decoupling and transient current for the dynamic
switching of the high and low-side gate drivers of the ISL78420.
The second and more critical function is to provide the gate
charge to the low-side driven FET while keeping the VDD voltage
ripple to a minimum, similar to the function of the boot capacitor.
Improper input capacitance may cause excessive ripple on VDD
that triggers the UVLO falling threshold (6.7V typical), disabling
the driver. The minimum input capacitance required for the lowside gate charge while maintaining an allowed ripple on VDD is
calculated similarly as the boot capacitor described in the
previous section. To account for the increased current of IDD vs
IHB, it is recommended to have the input capacitance be at
minimum 10x of the boot capacitor value. In addition, a 0.1µF
capacitor in parallel is recommended for high frequency
decoupling. For optimal performance, place these capacitors
close to the VDD and VSS pins.
Dead-Time Delay
When the PWM input transitions high or low, it is necessary to
ensure that both bridge FETs are not on at the same time to
prevent shoot-through currents. The ISL78420 programmable
timers delay the rising edge of the high-side (HO) and low-side
(LO) gate drives so that both FETs are off before one of them is
turned on. The dead time delay on the rising edge of LO and HO is
programmable with a single resistor from the RDT pin to VSS. The
dead time is adjustable from 35ns (RRDT = 80kΩ) to 220ns
(RRDT = 8kΩ). It is not recommended to use resistors beyond
these values. The dead time is set equal on both falling edges of
LO and HO. See “Timing Diagram” on page 6 for the definition of
dead time delay. See Figure 8 on page 7 for the programmed
dead time vs resistor value.
While the voltage of the PWM signal is within the boundaries of
the mid-level logic (1.6V to 3.4V typical), the HO and LO pins are
driven low (with respect to VSS for LO pin and with respect to HS
for HO pin). The actual delay time, as programmed by the RRDT
resistor value, begins when the high or low logic threshold levels
at the PWM input are crossed. The time when the PWM input is
in the mid-level range is added to the programmed dead time.
This should be a consideration when selecting the RRDT value for
a specific dead time.

Typical Application Circuit
Depending on the application, the switching speed of the bridge
FETs can be reduced by adding series connected resistors
between the HO output and the FET gate. Gate-Source resistors
are recommended on the low-side FETs to prevent unexpected
turn-on of the bridge should the bridge voltage be applied before
VDD. Gate-source resistors on the high-side FETs are not usually
required if low-side gate-source resistors are used. If relatively
low value gate-source resistors are used on the high-side FETs, be
aware that a larger value for the boot capacitor may be required.
Transients on HS Node
An important operating condition that is occasionally overlooked
by designers is the negative transient on the HS pin that can
occur when the high-side bridge FET turns off. The maximum
transient allowed on the HS pin is -5V but it is wise to minimize
the amplitude to lower levels. This transient is the result of the
parasitic inductance of the low-side drain-source conductor on
the PCB. Even the parasitic inductance of the low-side FET
contributes to this transient.
When the high-side bridge FET turns off (see Figure 23), because
of the load inductive characteristics, the current that was flowing
in the high-side FET (blue) must rapidly commutate to flow
through the low-side FET (red). The amplitude of the negative
transient impressed on the HS node is (L*di/dt) where L is the
total parasitic inductance of the low-side FET drain-source path
and di/dt is the rate at which the high-side FET is turned off. With
the increasing power levels of power supplies and motors,
clamping this transient becomes significant for the proper
operation of the ISL78420.
solutions by themselves may not be sufficient. Figure 23
illustrates a simple method for clamping the negative transient.
Two series connected, fast 1 amp PN junction diodes are
connected between HS and VSS as shown. It is important that
these diodes be placed as close as possible to the HS and VSS
pins to minimize the parasitic inductance of this current path
between the two pins. Two diodes in series are required because
they are in parallel with the body diode of the low-side FET. If only
one diode is used for the clamp, it will conduct some of the
negative load current that is flowing in the body diode of the
low-side FET.

FIGURE 23. TWO CLAMPING DIODES TO SUPPRESS NEGATIVE
TRANSIENTS
An alternative to the two series connected diodes is one diode
and a resistor, (see Figure 24). In this case, it is necessary to limit
the current in the diode with a small value resistor, RHS,
connected between the phase node of the 1/2 bridge and the HS
pin. Observe that RHS is effectively in series with the HO output
and serves as a peak current limiting gate resistor on HO.
In the event that the negative transient exceeds -5V, there are
several ways of reducing the negative amplitude of this transient.
If the bridge FETs are turned off more slowly to reduce di/dt, the
amplitude will be reduced but at the expense of more switching
losses in the FETs. Careful PCB design will also reduce the value
of the parasitic inductance. However, in extreme cases, these two

The value of RHS is determined by how much average current in
the clamping diode is acceptable. Current in the low-side FET
flows through the body diode during dead time resulting with a
negative voltage on HS that is typically about -1.5V. When the
low-side FET is turned on, the current through the body diode is
shunted away into the channel and the conduction voltage from
source-to-drain is typically much less than the conduction voltage
through the body diode. Consequently, significant current will
flow in the clamping diode only during the dead time. Because
the dead time is much less than the on time of the low-side FET,
the resulting average current in the clamping diode is very low.
The value of RHS is then chosen to limit the peak current in the
clamping diode and usually just a few ohms is necessary.
Please note that a similar transient with a positive polarity occurs
when the low-side FET turns off. This is less frequently a problem
because the HS node is floating up toward the bridge bias
voltage. The Absolute Max voltage rating for the HS node does
need to be observed when the positive transient occurs.
The maximum rating for VHB - VHS = 14V must also not be
overlooked. When a negative transient, Vneg, is present on the
HS pin, the voltage differential across HB and HS will approach
VDD + Vneg. If the transient duration is short compared to the
charging time constant of the boot diode and boot capacitor, the
voltage across HB and HS is not significantly affected. However,
another source of negative voltage on the HS pin may increase
the boot capacitor voltage for a longer duration. During dead
time, current is flowing from the source-to-drain of the low-side
FET body diode. Depending on the size of the FET and the
amplitude of the reverse current, the voltage across the diode
can be as high as -1.5V and much higher during a load fault.
Because this negative voltage has little impedance, the boot
capacitor can charge to a voltage greater than VDD (for example
VDD + 1.5V). It may be necessary to either clamp the voltage as
described in Figures 23 and 24 and/or keep the dead time as
short as possible.

The power dissipation of the ISL78420 is dominated by the gate
charge required by the driven bridge FETs and the switching
frequency. The internal bias and boot diode also contribute to the
total dissipation but these losses are usually less significant
compared to the gate charge losses.
The calculation of the power dissipation of the ISL78420 is
approximated by the following equations:
GATE POWER (FOR THE HO AND LO OUTPUTS)
P gate =  Q gateH + Q gateL   Freq  VDD
(EQ. 3)
where
QgateH and QgateL is the total gate charge of the high-side and
low-side bridge FET respectively. VDD is the bias to the ISL78420
and Freq is the switching frequency.
BOOT DIODE DISSIPATION
I diode_avg = Q gate  Freq
(EQ. 4)
P diode = I diode_avg  0.7V
(EQ. 5)
Where 0.7V is the diode conduction voltage. Equations 4 and 5
represent the boot diode conduction loss from recharging the
boot capacitor during the refresh cycle. The average current is
proportional to the total charge delivered to the high-side NFET
and the switching frequency.
BIAS CURRENT
P bias = I bias  VDD
(EQ. 6)
where Ibias is the internal bias current of the ISL78420 at the
switching frequency (see Figures 3 and 4).
TOTAL POWER DISSIPATION
Ptotal = Pgate + Pdiode + Pbias
JUNCTION OPERATING TEMPERATURE
TJ = Ptotal x JA + TA
where TJ is the junction temperature at the operating ambient
temperature, TA, in the vicinity of the part.
TJ = Ptotal x JC + TPCB
where TJ is the junction temperature with the operating
temperature of the PCB, TPCB, as measured where the EPAD is
soldered.

ISL78420
High Voltage Conductor Spacing
The HTSSOP package adheres to IPC-2221 guidelines for high
voltage conductor spacing of external component leads. The
required pin-to-pin spacing for 100V conductors is 0.5mm for
nonconformal coat PCB boards. For the ISL78420 14 Ld HTSSOP
package, the high voltage pins are separated from the low
voltage pins across the 4.4mm wide package. While the HB, HO
and HS pins are grouped together and can swing from 0V to
114V, under normal operation the maximum differential voltage
across these pins is limited by the VDD supply (14V Max
Operating).
PC Board Layout
The AC performance of the ISL78420 depends significantly on
the design of the PC board. The following layout design
guidelines are recommended to achieve optimum performance
from the ISL78420:
• Understand how power currents flow. The high amplitude di/dt
currents of the bridge FETs will induce significant voltage
transients on the associated traces.
• Keep power loops as short as possible by paralleling the
source and return traces.
• Avoid paralleling high di/dt traces with low level signal lines.
High di/dt will induce currents in the low level signal lines.
which cannot be eliminated. This must be accounted for in the
PCB layout and circuit design.
• If you simulate your circuits, consider including parasitic
components.
EPAD Design Considerations
The thermal pad of the ISL78420 is electrically isolated. Its
primary function is to provide heat sinking for the IC. It is
recommended to tie the EPAD to VSS (GND).
Figure 25 is an example of how to use vias to remove heat from
the IC substrate. Depending on the amount of power dissipated by
the ISL78420, it may be necessary to connect the EPAD to one or
more ground plane layers. A via array, within the area of the EPAD,
will conduct heat from the EPAD to the ground plane on the bottom
layer. If inner PCB layers are available, it would also be desirable
to connect these additional layers with the plated-through vias.
The number of vias and the size of the GND planes required for
adequate heat-sinking is determined by the power dissipated by
the ISL78420, the air flow, and the maximum temperature of the
air around the IC.
It is important that the vias have a low thermal resistance for
efficient heat transfer. Do not use “thermal relief” patterns to
connect the vias.
• When practical, minimize impedances in low level signal
circuits; the noise, magnetically induced on a 10k resistor, is
10x larger than the noise on a 1k resistor.
• Be aware of magnetic fields emanating from transformers and
inductors. Core gaps in these structures are especially bad for
emitting flux.
• If you must have traces close to magnetic devices, align the
traces so that they are parallel to the flux lines.
• The use of low inductance components such as chip resistors
and chip capacitors is recommended.
• Use decoupling capacitors to reduce the influence of parasitic
inductors. To be effective, these capacitors must also have the
shortest possible lead lengths. If vias are used, connect several
paralleled vias to reduce the inductance of the vias.

• It may be necessary to add resistance to dampen resonating
parasitic circuits. In PCB designs with long leads on the LO and
HO outputs, it may be necessary to add series gate resistors on
the bridge FETs to dampen the oscillations.
• Keep high dv/dt nodes away from low level circuits. Guard
banding can be used to shunt away dv/dt injected currents
from sensitive circuits. This is especially true for the PWM
control circuits.
• Avoid having a signal ground plane under a high dv/dt circuit.
This will inject high di/dt currents into the signal ground paths.
• Do power dissipation and voltage drop calculations of the
power traces. Most PCB/CAD programs have built in tools for
calculation of trace resistance.
