High Speed, Dual Channel, 6A, Power MOSFET Driver
With Programmable Delays
ISL89166, ISL89167, ISL89168
Features
The ISL89166, ISL89167, and ISL89168 are high-speed, 6A,
dual channel MOSFET drivers. These parts are similar to the
ISL89160, ISL89161, ISL89162 drivers but use the NC pins for
programming the rising edge time delays of the outputs used for
dead time control.
• Typical ON-resistance <1
As an alternative to using external RC circuits for time delays, the
programmable delays on the RDTA and RDTB pins allows the
user to delay the rising edge of the respective outputs just by
connecting an appropriate resistor value between these pins and
ground. The accuracy and temperature characteristics of the
time delays are specified freeing the user of the need to select
appropriate external resistors and capacitors that traditionally
are applied to the logic inputs to delay the output edges.
• Precision threshold inputs for optional time delays with
external RC components
At high switching frequencies, these MOSFET drivers use very
little internal bias currents. Separate, non-overlapping drive
circuits are used to drive each CMOS output FET to prevent
shoot-thru currents in the output stage.
Applications
The start-up sequence is design to prevent unexpected glitches
when VDD is being turned on or turned off. When VDD < ~1V, an
internal 10k resistor between the output and ground helps to
keep the output voltage low. When ~1V <VDD < UV, both outputs
are driven low with very low resistance and the logic inputs are
ignored. This insures that the driven FETs are off. When
VDD > UVLO, and after a short delay, the outputs now respond to
the logic inputs.
• Motor Drives, Class D amplifiers, UPS, Inverters
• Specified Miller plateau drive currents
• Very low thermal impedance (JC = 3°C/W)
• Hysteretic Input logic levels for 3.3V CMOS, 5V CMOS, and TTL
• Instead of RC components for time delays, a resistor can be
used to program delays
• 20ns rise and fall time driving a 10nF load.
• NC pins may be connected to ground or VDD for flexible PCB
layout options
• Synchronous Rectifier (SR) Driver
• Switch mode power supplies
• Pulse Transformer Driver
• Clock/Line Driver

NOTES:
4. JA is measured in free air with the component mounted on a high effective thermal conductivity test board with “direct attach” features. See Tech
Brief TB379 for details.
5. For JC, the “case temp” location is the center of the exposed metal pad on the package underside.
6. The average output current, when driving a power MOSFET or similar capacitive load, is the average of the rectified output current. The peak output
currents of this driver are self limiting by transconductance or rDS(ON) and do not required any external components to minimize the peaks. If the
output is driving a non-capacitive load, such as an LED, maximum output current must be limited by external means to less than the specified
absolute maximum.

Functional Description
D
Overview
INx
The ISL89166, ISL89167, ISL89168 drivers incorporate several
features including precision input logic thresholds, undervoltage
lock-out, fast rising high output drive currents and programmable
rising edge output delays.
The programmable delays require only a resistor connecter
between the RDTA or RDTB pins and ground. This is a useful
feature to create dead times for bridge applications to prevent
shoot-through or for synchronous rectifier applications to adjust
the timing.
Fast rising (or falling) output drive current of the ISL89166,
ISL89167, ISL89168 minimizes the turn-on (off) delay due to the
input capacitance of the driven FET. The switching transition
period at the Miller plateau is also minimized by the high drive
currents. (See the specified Miller plateau currents in the AC
Electrical Specifications on page 5).
The start-up sequence for is designed to prevent unexpected
glitches when VDD is being turned on or turned off. When
VDD < ~1V, an internal 10k resistor connected between the
output and ground, help to keep the gate voltage close to ground.
When ~1V<VDD < UV, both outputs are driven low while ignoring
the logic inputs. This low state has the same current sinking
capacity as during normal operation. This insures that the driven
FETs are held off even if there is a switching voltage on the drains
that can inject charge into the gates via the Miller capacitance.
When VDD > UVLO, and after a 400µs delay, the outputs now
respond to the logic inputs. See Figure 9 for complete details.
For the negative transition of VDD through the UV lockout voltage,
the outputs are active low when VDD < ~3.2VDC regardless of the
input logic states.
Application Information
Rdel
The typical propagation matching of the ISL89166 and ISL89167
is less than 1ns. Note that the propagation matching is only valid
when RTDA and RTDB = 0k. The matching is so precise that
carefully matched and calibrated scopes probes and scope
channels must be used to make this measurement. Because of
this excellent performance, these driver outputs can be safely
paralleled to double the current drive capacity. It is important
that the INA and INB inputs be connected together on the PCB
with the shortest possible trace. This is also required of OUTA and
OUTB. Note that the ISL89168 cannot be paralleled because of
the complementary logic.
Power Dissipation of the Driver
The power dissipation of the ISL89166, ISL89167, ISL89168 is
dominated by the losses associated with the gate charge of the
driven bridge FETs and the switching frequency. The internal bias
current also contributes to the total dissipation but is usually not
significant as compared to the gate charge losses.
Figure 20 illustrates how the gate charge varies with the gate
voltage in a typical power MOSFET. In this example, the total gate
charge for Vgs = 10V is 21.5nC when VDS = 40V. This is the
charge that a driver must source to turn-on the MOSFET and
must sink to turn-off the MOSFET.

All that is necessary is to select the required resistor value from
the Propagation Delay vs RDT graph, Figure 17. Unlike using an
RCD network, the operating tolerances over temperature are
specified. If a traditional RCD network (Figure 19) is used on the
input logic, then it is necessary to account for the tolerance of the
logic input threshold, the tolerances of R and C, and their
temperature sensitivity.

As compared to setting the output delays of a driver using an
resistor, capacitor and diode on the logic inputs, programming
the rising edge output delays of the ISL89166, ISL89167,

The Typical Application Circuit is an example of how the
ISL89166, ISL89167, ISL89168, MOSFET drivers can be applied
in a zero voltage switching full bridge. Two main signals are
required: a 50% duty cycle square wave (SQR) and a PWM signal
synchronized to the edges of the SQR input. An ISL89162 is used
to drive T1 with alternating half cycles driving QUL and QUR. An
ISL89166 is used to drive QLL and QLR also with alternating half
cycles. Unlike the two high side bridge FETs, the two low-side
bridge FETs are turned on with a rising edge delay. The delay is
setup by resistors connected to RDTA and RDTB pins of the
ISL89166. The duration of the delay is chosen to turn on the
low-side FETs when the voltage on their respective drains is at the
resonant valley.
General PCB Layout Guidelines
The AC performance of the ISL89166, ISL89167, ISL89168
depends significantly on the design of the PC board. The
following layout design guidelines are recommended to achieve
optimum performance:
• Place the driver as close as possible to the driven power FET.
• Understand where the switching power currents flow. The high
amplitude di/dt currents of the driven power FET will induce
significant voltage transients on the associated traces.
• Keep power loops as short as possible by paralleling the
source and return traces.
• Use planes where practical; they are usually more effective
than parallel traces.
• Avoid paralleling high amplitude di/dt traces with low level
signal lines. High di/dt will induce currents and consequently,
noise voltages in the low level signal lines.
• 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.
that source the input signals to the ISL89166, ISL89167,
ISL89168.
• Avoid having a signal ground plane under a high amplitude
dv/dt circuit. This will inject di/dt currents into the signal
ground paths.
• Do power dissipation and voltage drop calculations of the
power traces. Many PCB/CAD programs have built in tools for
calculation of trace resistance.
• Large power components (Power FETs, Electrolytic caps, power
resistors, etc.) will have internal parasitic inductance 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 especially parasitic inductance.
General EPAD Heatsinking
Considerations
The thermal pad is electrically connected to the GND supply
through the IC substrate. The epad of the ISL89166, ISL89167,
ISL89168 has two main functions: to provide a quiet GND for the
input threshold comparators and to provide heat sinking for the
IC. The EPAD must be connected to a ground plane and no
switching currents from the driven FET should pass through the
ground plane under the IC.
Figure 21 is a PCB layout example of how to use vias to remove
heat from the IC through the epad.

• Be aware of magnetic fields emanating from transformers and
inductors. 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 to minimize
coupling.
• The use of low inductance components such as chip resistors
and chip capacitors is highly recommended.
• Use decoupling capacitors to reduce the influence of parasitic
inductance in the VDD and GND leads. To be effective, these
caps must also have the shortest possible conduction paths. 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 especially on OUTA and OUTB. If an external
gate resistor is unacceptable, then the layout must be
improved to minimize lead inductance.

FIGURE 21. TYPICAL PCB PATTERN FOR THERMAL VIAS
For maximum heatsinking, it is recommended that a ground
plane, connected to the EPAD, be added to both sides of the PCB.
A via array, within the area of the EPAD, will conduct heat from
the EPAD to the GND plane on the bottom layer. The number of
vias and the size of the GND planes required for adequate
heatsinking is determined by the power dissipated by the
ISL89166, ISL89167, ISL89168, the air flow and the maximum
temperature of the air around the IC.
• 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 control circuits
