A3946
Half-Bridge Power MOSFET Controller
Features and Benefits
Description
▪ On-chip charge pump for 7 V minimum input
supply voltage
▪ High-current gate drive for driving a wide range of
N-channel MOSFETs
▪ Bootstrapped gate drive with top-off charge pump
for 100% duty cycle
▪ Overtemperature protection
▪ Undervoltage protection
▪ –40ºC to 135ºC ambient operation
The A3946 is designed specifically for applications that require
high power unidirectional DC motors, three-phase brushless DC
motors, or other inductive loads. The A3946 provides two
high-current gate drive outputs that are capable of driving a
wide range of power N-channel MOSFETs. The high-side gate
driver switches an N-channel MOSFET that controls current to
the load, while the low-side gate driver switches an N-channel
MOSFET as a synchronous rectifier.
Package: 16-pin TSSOP with exposed
thermal pad (Suffix LP)
A bootstrap capacitor provides the above-battery supply voltage
required for N-channel MOSFETs. An internal top-off charge
pump for the high side allows DC (100% duty cycle) operation
of the half-bridge.
The A3946 is available in a power package: a 16-lead TSSOP
with exposed thermal pad (suffix LP). It is lead (Pb) free, with
100% matte tin plated leadframe (suffix -T).

A3946
Half-Bridge Power MOSFET Controller
Functional Description
VREG. A 13 V output from the on-chip charge pump, used
to power the low-side gate drive circuit directly, provides the
current to charge the bootstrap capacitors for the high-side gate
drive.
possible UVBOOT), FAULT = 0; also the fault latch is cleared
immediately, and remains cleared. If the power is restored
(no UVREG or UVREF), and if no OVERTEMP fault exists,
then the latched fault remains cleared when the RESET line
returns to high. However, FAULT = 1 may still occur because a
UVBOOT fault condition may still exist.
The VREG capacitor, CREG, must supply the instantaneous current to the gate of the low-side MOSFET. A 10 μF, 25 V capacitor should be adequate. This capacitor can be either electrolytic
Charge Pump. The A3946 is designed to accommodate a
or ceramic (X7R).
wide range of power supply voltages. The charge pump output,
VREG, is regulated to 13 V nominal.
Diagnostics and Protection. The fault output pin,
~FAULT, goes low (i.e., FAULT = 1) when the RESET line is
In all modes, this regulator is current-limited. When VBB < 8 V,
high and any of the following conditions are present:
the charge pump operates as a voltage doubler. When 8 V <
• Undervoltage on VREG (UVREG). Note that the outputs
become active as soon as VREG comes out of undervoltage,
even though the ~FAULT pin is latched until reset.
• Undervoltage on VREF (UVREF). Note that this condition
does NOT latch a fault.
• A junction temperature > 170°C (OVERTEMP). This condition sets a latched fault.
• An undervoltage on the stored charge of the BOOT capacitor
(UVBOOT). This condition does NOT set a latched fault.
An overtemperature event signals a latched fault, but does not
disable any output drivers, regulators, or logic inputs. The user
must turn off the A3946 (e.g., force the RESET line low) to
prevent damage.
The power FETs are protected from inadequate gate drive
voltage by undervoltage detectors. Either of the regulator
undervoltage faults (UVREG or UVREF) disable both output
drivers until both voltages have been restored. The high-side
driver is also disabled during a UVBOOT fault condition.
Under many operating conditions, both the high-side (GH)
and low-side (GL) drivers may be off, allowing the BOOT
capacitor to discharge (or never become charged) and create a
UVBOOT fault condition, which in turn inhibits the high-side
driver and creates a FAULT = 1. This fault is NOT latched. To
remove this fault, momentarily turn on GL to charge the BOOT
capacitor.
Latched faults may be cleared by a low pulse, 1 to 10 μs
wide, on the RESET line. Throughout that pulse (despite a
VBB< 15 V, the charge pump operates as a voltage doubler/
PWM, current-controlled, voltage regulator. When VBB>15 V,
the charge pump operates as a PWM, current-controlled, voltage regulator. Efficiency shifts, from 80% at VBB= 7 V, to 20%
at VBB = 50 V.
CAUTION. Although simple paralleling of VREG supplies
from several A3946s may appear to work correctly, such a
configuration is NOT recommended. There is no assurance that
one of the regulators will not dominate, taking on all of the load
and back-biasing the other regulators. (For example, this could
occur if a particular regulator has an internal reference voltage
that is higher that those of the other regulators, which would
force it to regulate at the highest voltage.)
Sleep Mode/Power Up. In Sleep Mode, all circuits are
disabled in order to draw minimum current from VBB. When
powering up and leaving Sleep Mode (the RESET line is high),
the gate drive outputs stay disabled and a fault remains asserted
until VREF and VREG pass their undervoltage thresholds.
When powering up, before starting the first bootstrap charge
cycle, wait until t = CREG ⁄ 4 (where CREG is in μF, and t is in ns)
to allow the charge pump to stabilize.
When powered-up (not in Sleep Mode), if the RESET line is
low for > 10 μs, the A3946 may start to enter Sleep Mode (VREF
< 4 V). In that case, ~FAULT = 1 as long as the RESET line
remains low.
If the RESET line is open, the A3946 should go into Sleep
Mode. However, to ensure that this occurs, the RESET line
must be grounded.

A3946
Half-Bridge Power MOSFET Controller
Dead Time. The analog input pin DT sets the delay to turn
on the high- or low-side gate outputs. When instructed to
turn off, the gate outputs change after an short internal propagation delay (90 ns typical). The dead time controls the time
between this turn-off and the turn-on of the appropriate gate.
The duration, tDEAD, can be adjusted within the range 350 ns
to 6000 ns using the following formula:
tDEAD = 50 + (RDEAD ⁄ 16.7 )
where tDEAD is in ns, and RDEAD is in Ω, and should be in the
range 5 kΩ < RDEAD < 100 kΩ.
Do not ground the DT pin. If the DT pin is left open, dead
time defaults to 12 μs.
Control Logic. Two different methods of control are
possible with the A3946. When a resistor is connected from
DT to ground, a single-pin PWM scheme is utilized by shorting IN1 with IN2. If a very slow turn-on is required (greater
than 6 μs), the two input pins can be hooked-up individually
to allow the dead times to be as long as needed.
The dead time circuit can be disabled by tying the DT pin
to VREF. This disables the turn-on delay and allows direct
control of each MOSFET gate via two control lines. This is
shown in the Control Logic table, on page 2.
Top-Off Charge Pump. An internal charge pump allows
100% duty cycle operation of the high-side MOSFET. This is
a low-current trickle charge pump, and is only operated after
a high-side has been signaled to turn on. A small amount of
bias current is drawn from the BOOT pin to operate the floating high-side circuit. The top-off charge pump simply provides enough drive to ensure that the gate voltage does not
droop due to this bias supply current. The charge required for
initial turn-on of the high-side gate must be supplied by bootstrap capacitor charge cycles. This is described in the section
Application Information.
VREF. VREF is used for the internal logic circuitry and
is not intended as an external power supply. However,
the VREF pin can source up to 4 mA of current. A 0.1 μF
capacitor is needed for decoupling.

Application Information
Bootstrap Capacitor Selection. CBOOT must be correctly selected to ensure proper operation of the device. If
too large, time is wasted charging the capacitor, with the
result being a limit on the maximum duty cycle and PWM
frequency. If the capacitor is too small, the voltage drop can
be too large at the time the charge is transferred from the
CBOOT to the MOSFET gate.
To keep the voltage drop small:
At power-up and when the drivers have been disabled for
a long time, the bootstrap capacitor can be completely
discharged. In this case, Delta_v can be considered to be the
full high-side drive voltage, 12 V. Otherwise, Delta_v is the
amount of voltage dropped during the charge transfer, which
should be 400 mV or less. The capacitor is charged whenever
the S pin is pulled low, via a GL PWM cycle, and current
flows from VREG through the internal bootstrap diode
circuit to CBOOT.
QBOOT >> QGATE
where a factor in the range of 10 to 20 is reasonable. Using
20 as the factor:
and
QBOOT = CBOOT × VBOOT = QGATE × 20
CBOOT = QGATE × 20 / VBOOT
The voltage drop on the BOOT pin, as the MOSFET is being
turned on, can be approximated by:
Delta_v = QGATE / CBOOT
For example, given a gate charge, QGATE, of 160 nC, and the
typical BOOT pin voltage of 12 V, the value of the Boot
capacitor, CBOOT, can be determined by:
CBOOT = (160 nC × 20) / 12 V ≈ 0.266 μF
Power Dissipation. For high ambient temperature
applications, there may be little margin for on-chip power
consumption. Careful attention should be paid to ensure that
the operating conditions allow the A3946 to remain in a safe
range of junction temperature.
The power consumed by the A3946 can be estimated as:
P_total = Pd_bias + Pd_cpump + Pd_switching_loss
where:
Pd_bias = VBB × IVBB , typically 3 mA,
and
Pd_cpump = (2VBB – VREG) IAVE, for VBB < 15 V, or
Pd_cpump = (VBB – VREG) IAVE, for VBB > 15 V,
Therefore, a 0.22 μF ceramic (X7R) capacitor can be chosen
for the Boot capacitor.
in either case, where
In that case, the voltage drop on the BOOT pin, when the
high-side MOSFET is turned on, is:
and
Delta_v = 160 nC / 0.22 μF = 0.73 V
Bootstrap Charging. It is good practice to ensure that the
high-side bootstrap capacitor is completely charged before a
high-side PWM cycle is requested.
IAVE = QGATE × 2 × fPWM
Pd_switching_loss = QGATE
× VREG × 2 × fPWM Ratio,
where
Ratio = 10 Ω / (RGATE + 10 Ω).
The time required to charge the capacitor can be approximated by:
tCHARGE = CBOOT (Delta_v / 100 mA)

10
Logic control.
IN2
11
Logic control.
RESET
12
Logic control input. When RESET = 0, the chip is in a very low power sleep mode.
LGND*
13
External ground. Internally connected to the logic ground.
DT
14
Dead Time. Connecting a resistor to GND sets the turn-on delay to prevent shoot-through. Forcing this
input high disables the dead time circuit and changes the logic truth table.
VREF
15
5 V internal reference decoupling terminal.
VBB
16
Supply Input.
PAD
–
Exposed thermal pad. Not connected to any pin, but should be externally connected to ground, to reduce
noise pickup by the pad.
The PGND pin (4) and LGND pin (13) grounds are NOT internally connected, and both must be connected to ground externally.

All pads a minimum of 0.20 mm from all adjacent pads; adjust as necessary
to meet application process requirements and PCB layout tolerances; when
mounting on a multilayer PCB, thermal vias at the exposed thermal pad land
can improve thermal dissipation (reference EIA/JEDEC Standard JESD51-5)
