FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
The 34981 is a high-frequency self-protected silicon
4.0 mRDS(ON) high side switch used to replace
electromechanical relays, fuses, and discrete devices in
power management applications. The 34981 can be
controlled by pulse-width modulation (PWM) with a frequency
up to 60 kHz. It is designed for harsh environments, and it
includes self-recovery features.
The 34981 is suitable for loads with high inrush current, as
well as motors and all types of resistive and inductive loads.
A dedicated parallel input is available for an external low side
control with protection features and cross-conduction
management.
FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTIONS
OUTPUT CURRENT MONITORING (CSNS)
This pin is used to output a current proportional to the high
side OUT current and is used externally to generate a
ground-referenced voltage for the microcontroller (MCU) to
monitor OUT current.
TEMPERATURE FEEDBACK (TEMP)
This pin reports an analog value proportional to the
temperature of the GND flag (pin 13). It is used by the MCU
to monitor board temperature.
ENABLE [ACTIVE HIGH] (EN)
This is an input used to place the device in a low-current
Sleep Mode. This pin has an active passive internal pulldown.
INPUT HIGH SIDE (INHS)
The input pin is used to directly control the OUT. This input
has an active internal pull-down current source and requires
CMOS logic levels.
two MOSFETs are controlled independently. When CONF is
at VDD 5.0 V, the two MOSFETs cannot be on at the same
time.
LOW SIDE OVERLOAD (OCLS)
This pin sets the VDS protection level of the external low
side MOSFET. This pin has an active internal pull-up current
source. It must be connected to an external resistor.
DRAIN LOW SIDE (DLS)
This pin is the drain of the external low side N-channel
MOSFET. Its monitoring allows protection features: low side
short protection and VPWR short protection.
LOW SIDE GATE (GLS)
This pin is an output used to drive the gate of the external
low side N-channel MOSFET.
SLEW RATE CONTROL (SR)
A capacitor connected between this pin and ground is
used to control the output slew rate.
FAULT STATUS (FS)
This pin is an open drain-configured output requiring an
external pull-up resistor to VDD (5.0 V) for fault reporting.
When a device fault condition is detected, this pin is active
LOW.
INPUT LOW SIDE (INLS)
This input pin is used to directly control an external low
side N-channel MOSFET and has an active internal pulldown current source and requires CMOS logic levels. It can
be controlled independently of the INHS depending of CONF
pin.
CONFIGURATION INPUT (CONF)
This input pin is used to manage the cross-conduction
between the internal high side N-channel MOSFET and the
external low side N-channel MOSFET. The pin has an active
internal pull-up current source. When CONF is at 0 V, the
BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR (CBOOT)
A capacitor connected between this pin and OUT is used
to switch the OUT in PWM mode.
GROUND (GND)
This pin is the ground for the logic and analog circuitry of
the device.
POSITIVE POWER SUPPLY (VPWR)
This pin connects to the positive power supply and is the
source input of operational power for the device. The VPWR
pin is a backside surface mount tab of the package.
OUTPUT (OUT)
Protected high side power output to the load. Output pins
must be connected in parallel for operation.

FUNCTIONAL DEVICE OPERATION
OPERATIONAL MODES
FUNCTIONAL DEVICE OPERATION
OPERATIONAL MODES
NORMAL MODE
The 34981 has 2 operating modes: Sleep and Normal
depending on EN input.
SLEEP MODE
Sleep Mode is the state of the 34981 when the EN is
logic [0]. In this mode, OUT, the gate driver for the external
MOSFET, and all unused internal circuitry are off to minimize
current draw.
The 34981 goes to the Normal operating mode when the
EN pin is logic [1]. The INHS and INLS commands are
disabled t ON after the EN transitions to logic [1] to enable the
charge of the bootstrap capacitor.

PROTECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
UNDERVOLTAGE
The 34981 incorporates undervoltage protection. In case
of VPWR<VPWR(UV), the OUT is switched OFF until the power
supply rises to VPWR(UV)+VPWR(UVHYS). The latched fault are
reset below VPWR(UV). The FS output pin reports the
undervoltage fault in real time.
temperature falls below TSD. This cycle continues until the
offending load is removed. FS pin transition to logic [1] is
disabled typically t ON seconds after to enable the charge of
the bootstrap capacitor.
Overtemperature faults force the TEMP pin to 0 V.
OVERCURRENT FAULT ON HIGH SIDE
OVERTEMPERATURE FAULT
The 34981 incorporates overtemperature detection and
shutdown circuitry on OUT. Overtemperature detection also
protects the low side gate driver (GLS pin). Overtemperature
detection occurs when OUT is in the ON or OFF state and
GLS is at high or low level.
For OUT, an overtemperature fault condition results in
OUT turning OFF until the temperature falls below TSD. This
cycle continues indefinitely until the offending load is
removed. Figure 12 and Figure 18 show an overtemperature
on OUT.
An overtemperature fault on the low side gate drive results
in OUT turning OFF and the GLS going to 0V until the
The OUT pin has an overcurrent high-detection level
called I OCH for maximum device protection. If at any time the
current reaches this level, OUT stays OFF and the CSNS pin
goes to 0 V. The OUT pin is reset (and the fault is delatched)
by a logic [0] at the INHS pin for at least t RST(DIAG). When
INHS goes to 0 V, CSNS goes to 5.0 V.
In Figure 15, the OUT pin is short-circuited to 0V. When
the current reaches I OCH , OUT is turned OFF within t OCH
owing to internal logic circuit.
OVERLOAD FAULT ON LOW SIDE
This fault detection is active when INLS is logic [1]. Low
side overload protection does not measure the current

PROTECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
directly but rather its effects on the low side MOSFET. When
VDLS > VOCLS, the GLS pin goes to 0 V and the OCLS
internal current source is disconnected and OCLS goes to
0 V. The GLS pin and the OCLS pin are reset (and the fault
is delatched) by a logic [0] at the INLS pin for at least
t RST(DIAG). Figure 13 and Figure 14 illustrate the behavior in
case of overload on the low side gate driver.
When connected to an external resistor, the OCLS pin with
its internal current source sets the VOCLS level. By changing
the external resistance, the protection level can be adjusted
depending on low side characteristics. A 33 k resistor gives
a VDS level of 3.3 V typical.
This protection circuitry measures the voltage between the
drain of the low side (DLS pin) and the 34981 ground (GND
pin). For this reason it is key the low side source, the 34981
ground and the external resistance ground connection, are
connected together in order to prevent false error detection
due to ground shifts.
The maximum OCLS voltage being 4.0 V, a resistor bridge
on DLS must be used to detect a higher voltage across the
low side.
CONFIGURATION
The CONF pin manages the cross-conduction between
the internal MOSFET and the external low side MOSFET.
With the CONF pin at 0 V, the two MOSFETs can be
independently controlled. A load can be placed between the
high side and the low side.
With the CONF pin at 5.0 V, the two MOSFETs cannot be
on at the same time. They are in half-bridge configuration as
shown in the 34981 Simplified Application Diagram. If INHS
and INLS are at 5.0 V at the same time, INHS has priority and
OUT is at VPWR. If INHS changes from 5.0 V to 0 V with INLS
at 5.0 V, GLS goes to high state as soon as the VGS of the
internal MOSFET is lower than 2.0 V typically. A half-bridge
application could consist in sending PWM signal to the INHS
pin and 5.0 V to the INLS pin with the CONF pin at 5.0 V.
Figure 20, illustrates the simplified application diagram in
the 34981 Simplified Application Diagram with a DC motor
and external low side. The CONF and INLS pins are at 5.0 V.
When INHS is at 5.0 V, current is flowing in the motor. When
INHS goes to 0 V, the load current recirculates in the external
low side.
BOOTSTRAP SUPPLY
Bootstrap supply provides current to charge the bootstrap
capacitor through the VPWR pin. A short time is required after
the application of power to the device to charge the bootstrap
capacitor. A typical value for this capacitor is 100 nF. An
internal charge pump allows continuous MOSFET drive.
When the device is in the sleep mode, this bootstrap supply
is off to minimize current consumption.
HIGH SIDE GATE DRIVER
The high side gate driver switches the bootstrap capacitor
voltage to the gate of the MOSFET. The driver circuit has a
low-impedance drive to ensure the MOSFET remains OFF in
the presence of fast falling dV/dt transients on the OUT pin.
This bootstrap capacitor connected between the power
supply and the CBOOT pin provides the high pulse current to
drive the device. The voltage across this capacitor is limited
to about 13 V typical.
An external capacitor connected between pins SR and
GND is used to control the slew rate at the OUT pin. Figure 9
and Figure 10 give VOUT rise and fall time versus different SR
capacitors.
LOW SIDE GATE DRIVER
The low side control circuitry is PWM capable. It can drive
a standard MOSFET with an RDS(ON) as low as 10.0 m at a
frequency up to 60 kHz. The VGS is internally clamped at
12 V typically to protect the gate of the MOSFET. The GLS
pin is protected against short by a local overtemperature
sensor.
THERMAL FEEDBACK
The 34981 has an analog feedback output (TEMP pin)
provides a value in inverse proportion to the temperature of
the GND flag (pin 13). The controlling microcontroller can
“read” the temperature proportional voltage with its analogto-digital converter (ADC). This can be used to provide realtime monitoring of the PC board temperature to optimize the
motor speed and to protect the whole electronic system.
TEMP pin value is VTFEED with a negative temperature
coefficient of DTFEED.
REVERSE SUPPLY
The 34981 survives the application of reverse supply
voltage as low as -16 V. Under these conditions, the output’s
gate is enhanced to decrease device power dissipation. No
additional passive components are required. The 34981
survives these conditions until the maximum junction rating is
reached.
In the case of reverse supply in a half-bridge application, a
direct current passes through the external freewheeling diode
and the internal high side.
As Figure 11 shows, it is essential to protect this power
line. The proposed solution is an external N-channel low side
with its gate tied to supply voltage through a resistor. A high
side in the VPWR line could be another solution.

EMC AND EMI RECOMMENDATIONS
INTRODUCTION
This section relates the EMC capability for 34981, high
frequency high-current high side switch. This device is a selfprotected silicon switch used to replace electromechanical
relays, fuses, and discrete circuits in power management
applications.
This section presents the key features of the device and its
targeted applications. The standard to measure conducted
and radiated emissions is provided. Concrete measurements
on the 34981 and improvements to reduce electromagnetic
emission are described.
DEVICE FEATURES
This 34981 is a 4.0 m self-protected, high side switch
digitally controlled from a microcontroller (MCU) with
extended diagnostics, able to drive DC motors up to 60 kHz.
A bootstrap architecture has been used to provide fast
transient gate voltage in order to reach 4.0 m RDS(ON)
maximum at room temperature. In parallel, a charge pump is
implemented to offer continuous on-state capability. This
dual current supply of the high side MOSFET allows a duty
cycle from 5% to 100%. An external capacitor connected
between pins SR and GND is used to control the slew rate at
the output and, therefore, reduce electromagnetic
perturbations.
In standard configuration, the motor current recirculation is
handled by an external freewheeling diode. To reduce global
power dissipation, the freewheeling diode can be replaced by
an external discrete MOSFET in low side configuration. The
IC integrates a gate driver, which controls and protects this
external MOSFET in the event of a short-circuit to supply.
The product manages the cross conduction between the
internal high side and the external low side when used in a
half-bridge configuration. The two MOSFETs can be
controlled independently when the CONF pin is at 0 V. To
eliminates fuses, the device is self-protected from severe
short-circuits (100 A typical) with an innovative overcurrent
strategy.
The 34981 has a current feedback for real-time monitoring
of the load current through an MCU analog/digital converter
to facilitate closed-loop operation for motor speed control.
The 34981 has an analog thermal feedback used by the
MCU to monitor PC board temperature to optimize the motor
control and to protect the entire electronic system. Therefore,
an overtemperature shutdown feature protects the IC against
high overload condition.

HOW TO MEASURE ELECTROMAGNETIC

One EMC standard standard is the CISPR25, edited by
the International Electrotechnical Commission. This standard
describes the measurement method to measure both
conducted and radiated emission.

Engine cooling, air conditioning, and fuel pump are the
targeted applications for the 34981. Conventional solutions
are designed with discrete components are not optimized in
terms of component board size, protection, and diagnostics.
The 34981 is the right candidate to develop lighter and more
compact units.
DC motor speed adjustment allows optimization of energy
consumption by reducing supply voltage, hence the mean
voltage applied to the motor. The commonly used control
technique is pulse wide modulation (PWM) where the
average voltage is proportional to the duty cycle. Most
applications require a PWM frequency of at least 20 kHz to
avoid audible noise. Figure 22 illustrates typical waveforms
when switching the 34981 at 20 kHz with a duty cycle of 80%.
The output voltage (OUT) and current in the motor (IMOTOR)
waveforms are represented.
Conducted emission is the emission produced by the
device on the power supply cable. The test bench is
described by CISPR25 (see Figure 23).
The Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN), also
called artificial network (AN), in a given frequency range
(150 kHz to 108 MHz), provides a specified load impedance
for the measurement of disturbance voltages and isolates the
equipment under test (EUT) from the supply in that frequency
range.

The EUT must operate under typical loading and other
conditions just as it must in the vehicle so maximum emission
state occurs. These operating conditions must be clearly
defined in the test plan to ensure both supplier and customer
are performing identical tests.
For the testing described in this application note, the out
pin of the 34981 was connected to an inductive load (0.47 
+ 1.0 H) switching at 20 kHz with a duty cycle of 80%. The
output current was 17 A continuous.
The ground return of the EUT to the chassis must be as
short as possible. The power supply is 13.5 V.
RADIATED EMISSION MEASUREMENT
The radiated emission measurement consists of
measuring the electromagnetic radiation produced by the
equipment under test. CISPR 25 gives the schematic test
bench described in Figure .

To measure radiated emission over all frequency ranges,
several antenna types must be used:
• 0.15 MHz to 30 MHz: 1.0 m vertical monopole in
vertical polarization.
• 30 MHz to 200 MHz: a biconical antenna used in
vertical and horizontal polarization.
• 200 MHz to 1,000 MHz: a log-periodic antenna used in
vertical and horizontal polarization.

INTRODUCTION
This section relates to the power dissipation capability for
34981, high frequency high-current high side switch. This
device is a self-protected silicon switch used to replace
electromechanical relays, fuses, and discrete circuits in
power management applications.
This section presents the key features of the device and its
targeted applications. The theoretical calculations for power
dissipation and die junction temperatures are determined in
this document for inductive loads. A concrete example with
DC motor driven by the 34981 is analyzed in DC Motor 200W.
DEVICE FEATURES
This 34981 is a 4.0 m self-protected, high side switch
digitally controlled from a microcontroller (MCU) with
extended diagnostics, able to drive DC motors up to 60 kHz.
A bootstrap architecture has been used to provide fast
transient gate voltage in order to reach 4.0 m RDS(ON)
maximum at room temperature. In parallel, a charge pump is
implemented to offer continuous on-state capability. This
dual current supply of the high side MOSFET allows a duty
cycle from 5% to 100%. An external capacitor connected
between pins SR and GND is used to control the slew rate at
the output and, therefore, reduce electromagnetic
perturbations.
In standard configuration, the motor current recirculation is
handled by an external freewheeling diode. To reduce global
power dissipation, the freewheeling diode can be replaced by
an external discrete MOSFET in low side configuration. The
IC integrates a gate driver which controls and protects this
external MOSFET in the event of a short-circuit to supply.
The product manages the cross conduction between the
internal high side and the external low side when used in a
half-bridge configuration. The two MOSFETs can be
controlled independently when the CONF pin is at 0 V. To
eliminates fuses, the device is self-protected from severe
short-circuits (100 A typical) with an innovative overcurrent

The 34981 has a current feedback for real-time monitoring
of the load current through an MCU analog/digital converter
to facilitate closed-loop operation for motor speed control.
The 34981 has an analog thermal feedback used by the
MCU to monitor PC board temperature to optimize the motor

an overtemperature shutdown feature protects the IC against
high overload condition.

APPLICATION
Engine cooling, air conditioning, and fuel pump are the
targeted applications for the 34981. Conventional solutions
are designed with discrete components are not optimized in
terms of component board size, protection, and diagnostics.
The 34981 is the right candidate to develop lighter and more
compact units.
The adjustment of the DC motor speed allows optimizing
of energy consumption. It is realized by chopping the supply
voltage, hence the mean voltage, applied to the motor. The
commonly used control technique is pulse wide modulation
(PWM) where the average voltage is proportional to the duty
cycle. Most applications require a PWM frequency of at least
20 kHz to avoid audible noise. Figure 34 illustrates typical
waveforms when switching the 34981 at 20 kHz with a duty
cycle of 80%. The output voltage (OUT) and current in the
motor (IMOTOR) waveforms are represented.
The following analysis assumes an inductive load and
assumes the current is constant in the load.
The case being considered in this paper is inductive load
and the hypothesis is the current is constant in the load.
ON-STATE LOSSES
The mean on-state loss periods in the 34981 can be
calculated as follows:
Pon_state = a · RDS(ON) · IOUT2 where ‘a’ is the duty cycle.
The critical parameter is the on resistance (RDS(ON))

POWER DISSIPATION
The 34981 power dissipation is the sum of two kinds of
losses:
• On-State losses when device is fully ON,
• Switching losses when the device switches ON and
OFF.
Figure 35. RDS(ON) vs. Temperature
SWITCHING LOSSES
The mean switching losses in the 34981 can be calculated
as follows:
Pswitching = (tON . FREQ . VPWR . IOUT) / 2 + (tOFF . FREQ . 
VPWR . IOUT) / 2
where tON/tOFF is the turn on/off time.
The switching time is a critical parameter. The 34981
provides adjustable slew rates through an external capacitor
(SR), which slow down the rise and fall times to reduce the
electromagnetic emissions. However, this adjustment has an
impact on power dissipation. Figure 36 gives the positive
(SRR) and negative (SRF) slew rate versus different values of
SR. This is illustrated in Figure 37.

In standard configuration, the motor current recirculation is
handled by an external freewheeling diode. With the 34981,
the freewheeling diode can be replaced by an external lowside discrete MOSFET.
The power dissipation during the recirculation phase is
calculated as follows for the diode and the low-side MOSFET
respectively:
Pdiode = (1-a) . VF . IOUT
where ‘a’ is the duty cycle
Pmosfet_ls = (1-a) . RDS(ON)_ls . IOUT2
where RDS(ON)_ls is the on resistance of the low side.
APPLICATIONS EXAMPLES
EXCEL TOOL
An excel tool has been created with all the above formulas
to calculate the dissipated power and the junction
temperature knowing the application conditions. An example
of the interface is given in Figure 38. The parameters to enter
concern the load, the high side device, the recirculation, and
the board. They are VPWR, DC current in the load (Imax for
100% of duty cycle), PWM frequency, 34981 RDS(ON) at
150 ºC, SR capacitor, low side RDS(ON) at 150 ºC, ambient
temperature, and thermal impedance.

INFLUENCE OF SR CAPACITOR
A concrete example is the 34981. A 200 W DC motor, a
frequency of 20 kHz, and an ambient temperature of 85 ºC
are chosen. The 34981 is evaluated using the following
board. The thermal impedance of the board is in the range of
15 ºC/W.
The SR capacitor value has an impact on these switching
losses. Figure 41 illustrates the percentage of the switching
losses versus the total power dissipation for the same load
conditions as Figure 38. The higher the SR capacitor value,
the higher the switching losses. They can be more than 50%
of the total power dissipation in the 34981 with a 4.7 nF
capacitor and is a basic applications trade-off. A compromise
should be found between the power dissipation and the
electromagnetic capability (EMC) performance.

JUNCTION TEMPERATURE
CONCLUSION
The junction temperature of the 34981 versus duty cycle
for the condition listed in Figure 38, is given in Figure 43. The
maximum obtained junction temperature is 132 ºC with a duty
cycle of 95%. This value is far from the 150ºC maximum
guaranteed junction.
Knowing the application conditions, this document
explained how to calculate power dissipation during on-state
and switching phases and the junction temperature for the
34981 when controlling a DC motor. A concrete example with
a 200 W DC motor was given in DC Motor 200W. The same
principle can be used for other DC motors and other
environmental conditions.

PACKAGING AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
This package is a dual die package. There are two heat sources in the package
independently heating with P1 and P2. This results in two junction temperatures,
TJ1 and TJ2, and a thermal resistance matrix with RJAmn.
For m, n = 1, RJA11 is the thermal resistance from Junction 1 to the reference
temperature while only heat source 1 is heating with P1.
For m = 1, n = 2, RJA12 is the thermal resistance from Junction 1 to the
reference temperature while heat source 2 is heating with P2. This applies to
RJ21 and RJ22, respectively.
