Functional description  
The ꢅEDNꢉꢅxꢊG is a single-channel gate-driver IC optimized for driving Infineon CoolGaN SG HEMTs, as well  
as other GaN SG HEMTs and Si MOSFETs. Thanks to the truly diꢀerential input feature, the gate driver output  
state is exclusively controlled by the voltage diꢀerence between the two inputs, independent of the driver’s  
reference ꢁgroundꢂ potential as long as the common-mode voltage is below ꢅꢇꢄ V ꢁstaticꢂ and ꢃꢄꢄ V ꢁdynamicꢂ.  
This eliminates the risk of false triggering due to ground bounce in low-side applications, while also allowing  
ꢅEDNꢉꢅxꢊG to address even high-side applications.  
The product is equipped with several key features especially designed to enhance the performance of GaN SG  
HEMTs:  
four driving strength variants to optimize switching speed without external gate resistors  
active bootstrap clamping to avoid overcharging the bootstrap capacitor during dead-time  
an active Miller clamp with exceptionally strong pull-down to avoid induced turn-on  
and an optional charge pump to provide an adjustable negative turn-oꢀ supply, for additional induced  
turn-on immunity when needed.

The TDI feature oꢀers common-mode voltage rejection up to ꢅꢇꢄ V for static voltage and ꢃꢄꢄ V for dynamic  
voltage transients, enabling both low-side and high-side gate driving without the need for a digital isolator at  
the input. The dynamic voltage rating is relevant for any voltage spikes shorter than the specified blanking time  
ꢁthat is, minimum pulse widthꢂ. When used as a low-side gate driver, the TDI greatly enhances ground bounce  
immunity during fast GaN switching transitions.

EiceDRIVERꢀEDNꢁꢀxꢂG  
ꢃꢄꢄ V high-side TDI gate driver IC for GaN SG HEMTs and MOSFETs  
ꢃ Product information  
At the positive and negative signal inputs two symmetrical resistor dividers are used to scale down and  
compensate common mode bouncing voltages. A fully diꢀerential amplifier stage provides high common mode  
rejection and high sensitivity to diꢀerential input signals. The amplified diꢀerential output voltage is finally  
evaluated by the subsequent diꢀerential Schmitt-Trigger circuit.  
At the IN+ and IN- pins, two external resistors Rinꢅ and Rinꢃ are used to scale down common mode voltages  
of up to ± ꢅꢇꢄ V to a level which can be processed by low voltage CMOS circuitry. These input resistors serve  
the function of "blocking" the high common-mode voltage, so that the IN+ and IN- pins of the driver are not  
exposed to this high voltage. As such, the selection of these resistors is critical to the proper operation of the TDI  
circuit.  
Figure ꢅ  
Functional block diagram  
The resistance values for Rinꢅ and Rinꢃ must be selected based on the logic level of the input signals. For a  
ꢆ.ꢆ V logic, both external input resistors must be ꢈꢉ kΩ. For a ꢇ V logic, they must be ꢉꢇ kΩ. Furthermore,  
Rinꢅ and Rinꢃ must be very closely matched. A tolerance of ± ꢄ.ꢅ % is required to maintain control over the  
full common mode swing. Resistors with wider tolerance limit the common-mode range of the TDI driving  
circuit. Any asymmetries in these resistors may cause a a common-mode voltage to be interpreted as an input  
signal, including stray impedances in the PCB layout. Recommendations for a PCB layout are given later in this  
datasheet.  
To compensate for small asymmetries in the TDI circuit, low pass filters are used to further enhance the high  
frequency common mode rejection. Two diꢀerent input filter options are available to accommodate diꢀerent  
designs, with a total blanking time of ꢃꢄ ns for ꢅEDNꢉꢅꢅꢊG, ꢈꢄ ns for ꢅEDNꢉꢅꢃꢊG, ꢊꢄ ns for ꢅEDNꢉꢅꢆꢊG, and ꢋꢄ  
ns for ꢅEDNꢉꢅꢈꢊG.  
ꢃ.ꢅ  
Undervoltage lockout  
The undervoltage lockout ꢁUVLOꢂ functions ensure that the output can be switched to its high level only if the  
supply voltage exceeds the UVLO threshold voltages. In the ꢅEDNꢉꢅxꢊG, two UVLOs are implemented: one for  
the VDD pin, and one for the adjustable charge pump voltage.  
The UVLO for VDD ensures that the transistors are not switched on if the driving voltage is too low, thereby  
avoiding excessive power dissipation due to linear-mode operation. The charge pump UVLO ensures the desired  
negative voltage is available for VOFF before any switching activity starts. Both UVLOs must be inactive to allow  
the propagation of the input control signals ꢁIN+, IN-ꢂ to the output.  
The VDD UVLO level is set to a typical value of ꢆ.ꢋꢇ V, with a maximum of ꢈ.ꢄ V. The maximum value of the rising  
edge is the value that ensures all the device among the production is turned on during start up. The designer

ꢃ Product information  
must provide a voltage higher than ꢈ.ꢄ V to turn on all the devices in the production of their equipment within  
the specified temperature range. On the opposite side, the minimum voltage necessary to switch oꢀ all the  
devices is the minimum of the falling edge, which is ꢆ.ꢊ V. Therefore, a voltage lower than ꢆ.ꢊ V ensures that the  
driver does not start switching. Once the driver has exceeded the UVLO, the supply voltage must remain above  
the maximum falling edge level of ꢆ.ꢌ V to avoid a UVLO shutdown. The hysteresis is the voltage gap between  
rising edge and falling edge, which ensures some margin on noise eꢀects such as false turn oꢀ.  
The charge pump also have a UVLO function that is only active at the power-up of the ꢅEDNꢉꢅxꢊG. If the charge  
pump is disabled, then this UVLO can be ignored. If it is enabled, then the driver does not transfer signals to  
the output until the charge pump UVLO threshold has been exceeded. Aꢍer that time, the UVLO latches and  
does not trigger a shutdown of the driver, even if the charge pump voltage drops below its UVLO threshold  
later. The UVLO threshold level is a function of the voltage selected for the adjustable charge pump.  
The output states depend on the inputs configuration and the status of the two UVLOs. The truth table of the  
driver is represented below.

ꢃ.ꢆ  
Minimum input pulse  
The minimum input pulse is the shortest duration pulse at the diꢀerential input that will generate an output  
pulse. Pulses with durations shorter than the minimum pulse are neglected and therefore will not generate any  
output pulse. Once the input pulse has suꢀicient duration to be propagated, the duration of the output pulse is  
equal to the duration of the input pulse, having therefore a linear transfer function between input and output.  
The minimum input pulse is specified here as "shortest input pulse transferred to the output." The maximum  
value for this parameter is the pulse width at which all the drivers in production will provide an output signal.  
In other words, the designer must provide a pulse width longer than the maximum specified value to ensure  
an output pulse for every driver of their equipment. Likewise, any pulses shorter than the minimum specified  
value will be ignored by all drivers in production. This minimum specification can be treated as the guaranteed  
blanking time for de-glitching, which helps to prevent spurious switching during common-mode transient  
events.

Driver outputs

which corresponds to an equivalent resistance of the pull-up and pull-down transistor. The designer can

ꢃ Product information  
optimize the switching speed of the driven transistor by selecting one of the four product variants, without the  
need for external gate resistors. If external gate resistors are used, it is highly recommended to avoid placing  
a resistor in the output sinking path, as this limits the eꢀectiveness of the active Miller clamp described in the  
next section.  
Source and sink outputs are actively held low with a clamp in case of floating inputs or during startup or power  
down. Under any situation, outputs are held under defined conditions to avoid unstable or unknown behavior  
of the driven transistor.  
ꢃ.ꢂ  
Active Miller clamp  
The sink output of the gate driver has an active Miller clamp feature to provide high immunity to spurious  
turn-on events. During a turn-oꢀ transition, the peak sinking current and equivalent pull-down resistance is  
defined according to the product variant. However, once the driver detects that the gate voltage ꢁat the sink  
outputꢂ has fallen below ꢄ.ꢈ V, the active Miller clamp is engaged within ꢆ ns, increasing the strength of the Sink  
output significantly. With the clamp engaged, all four product variants can sink up to ꢇ A, with an equivalent  
pull-down resistance of ꢄ.ꢆ Ω. This feature allows the designer to optimize the turn-oꢀ speed without sacrificing  
the driver's "keep-oꢀ" strength. If an external gate resistor is placed at the sink output, the eꢀectiveness of the  
active Miller clamp is reduced.  
ꢃ.ꢁ  
Adjustable negative charge pump  
GaN HEMTs are more susceptible to spurious turn-on events, owing to their low threshold voltage, lower gate  
capacitance, and faster switching transitions. A good PCB layout with low parasitic inductances can help to  
minimize the risk, but this is not feasible in all designs. In situations where spurious turn-on is likely to occur,  
the ꢅEDNꢉꢅxꢊG gate driver provides an adjustable negative power supply to reinforce the oꢀ-state of the  
driven transistor during a fast switching event. This is achieved by the integrated negative charge pump. The  
negative voltage is adjustable to allow designers to optimize the tradeoꢀ between spurious turn-on risk and  
higher reverse conduction losses during dead-time. GaN HEMTs have a reverse conduction mechanism that  
mimics a MOSFET body diode, with the exception that the "body diode" voltage drop is directly proportional  
to the negative voltage applied. Therefore, applying a more negative oꢀ-state voltage than necessary produces  
higher losses during the dead-time.  
The negative voltage can be adjusted according to the resistance value connected to VOFF_ADJ in according to  
the following table:

With a resistance of lower than ꢄ.ꢉꢇ kΩ, the negative charge pump is disabled, and the VOFF output is floating  
with respect to VSS. In this case, the VOFF pin must be directly connected to VSS on the PCB. Resistances with  
± ꢅꢄ% accuracy are recommended to avoid overlapping of diꢀerent levels. The resistance value is sampled  
during the startup transition of the gate driver, so the charge pump voltage cannot be adjusted on-the-fly  
during operation. As described in the absolute maximums and recommended operating condition tables, the  
driver's supply voltage rating is specified as the voltage swing between VDD and VOFF. If the charge pump is  
active with VOFF = - ꢆ V, the maximum voltage supplied to VDD is ꢆ V lower than it would be with the charge

pump disabled. In this way, designers can supply the driver with up to ꢅꢅ V ꢁfor example for normal-level  
MOSFETsꢂ when the charge pump is disabled, or they can instead choose to enable the charge pump and  
slightly reduce the positive supply voltage accordingly.  
The charge pump is designed to absorb current coming from the Miller capacitance CGD, with a typical rms value  
of ꢇꢄ mA and a peak value up to ꢇ A, while maintaining ± ꢇ% regulation.  
ꢃ.ꢊ  
Active bootstrap clamp  
When using the bootstrapping technique to supply the high-side gate driver in a half-bridge topology, it is  
sometimes necessary to regulate the bootstrap capacitor voltage to avoid damaging the gate of the high-side  
transistor. This is especially important for GaN HEMTs for two reasons:  
ꢀ.  
GaN SG HEMTs are oꢍen sensitive to gate over-voltage, with driving voltages typically in the range of ꢇ V  
+/- ꢅ V.  
ꢃ.  
The "body diode" mechanism of GaN HEMTs causes a higher voltage drop than MOSFETs, which leads to  
excessive over-charging of the bootstrap capacitor during dead-time conduction.  
In a half-bridge configuration, the bootstrap capacitor is normally charged during the low-side switch  
conduction time. Figure ꢈ shows this charging path, which includes the power supply ꢁVDDꢂ, the bootstrap  
diode, current-limiting resistor, the bootstrap capacitor, and the low-side switch. When the low-side switching is  
turned fully on, the voltage applied to the bootstrap capacitor is slightly lower than VDD, due to the drop across  
the bootstrap diode, which can be partially compensated by the drop across the low-side transistor. However,  
during dead-time intervals, the low-side transistor operates in "body diode" mode, with a voltage drop in  
the range of ꢅ.ꢇ ~ ꢃ.ꢇ V, or even higher when a negative oꢀ-state VGS is applied. This causes over-charging  
of the bootstrap capacitor during the dead-time, resulting in a bootstrap voltage that varies significantly with  
dead-time duration and operating current, with a high risk of exceeding the maximum rated VGS of the driven  
transistor.  
This is not a problem for a typical MOSFET, since the operating range of the gate is fairly wide. However, this  
variable bootstrap capacitor voltage may pose a serious risk of damage to the Schottky gate of a GaN SG HEMT.  
Therefore, it is necessary to apply some form of regulation to this circuit. For example, a Zener diode can be  
used as shown in Figure ꢈ, as long as the dead-time interval is well-controlled and paired with a current-limiting  
resistor that avoids overheating the Zener diode.  
The ꢅEDNꢉꢅXꢊG driver oꢀers an alternative bootstrap clamping scheme. Figure ꢇ shows the implementation of  
this bootstrap clamping scheme in a half-bridge circuit. The clamp circuit avoids over-charging the bootstrap  
capacitor instead of directly regulating the capacitor voltage, which would likely contribute additional losses.  
Rather than connecting the bootstrap diode to the VDD supply rail, it is connected to the BST output of the  
low-side driver. The BST output operates as a clone of the source and sink output pins, synchronized to the  
timing of the low-side transistor turning on and oꢀ. Therefore, the bootstrap diode can only conduct current  
when the low-side transistor is turned fully on, but not when it is operating in "body diode" mode during  
dead-time.  
The active bootstrap clamping scheme is very useful in regulating the high-side driving voltage without the  
need for additional components. However, in applications where over-charging of the bootstrap capacitor is  
desired, the bootstrap diode can be connected to the VDD pin instead of the BST pin. A Zener-based regulation  
scheme is recommended in this case, as shown in Figure ꢈ .

Unpowered gate clamp  
The unpowered gate clamp circuit ensures that the driver output is pullowed low when no supply voltage is  
applied to the driver. It is common practice to place a resistor between the gate and source of transistors to  
ensure that there is no spurious voltage when the system is powered oꢀ. However, this is not necessary with the  
ꢅEDNꢉꢅxꢊG. The driver has an internal pull-down MOSFET between the OUT_SNK pin and VSS pin, which pulls  
down the gate voltage to VSS with a peak current capability of ꢆ mA, whenever VDD is not suꢀiciently supplied  
to turn on the driver. Once the ꢅEDNꢉꢅxꢊG is fully powered on, this pull-down MOSFET is disabled.

Typical application circuits  
The ꢅEDNꢉꢅxꢊG can be used as a single low-side driver or a single high-side driver, and two can be used  
together to drive a half-bridge. Figure ꢃꢆ and Figure ꢃꢈ depict example circuit schematics for single-device  
drivers with the optional charge pump enables and disabled respectively, giving the designer the option to  
generate a negative oꢀ-state voltage within the IC if this is required to avoid false triggering. Figure ꢈ and Figure  
show two examples of half-bridge circuit schematics with two ꢅEDNꢉꢅxꢊG, with conventional bootstrapping  
and Zener regulation in the first, and active bootstrap clamping enabled in the second. Figure ꢃꢇ shows  
an additional example of half-bridge implementation, in this case with cross-connected PWM inputs for the  
high-side and low-side drivers. This option adds robustness against accidental cross-conduction in case the  
controller ever generates overlapping PWM signal. However, it may also limit the minimum dead-time as  
measured at the gate signals of the driven devices, due to asymmetrical turn-on and turn-oꢀ delay times of  
the driven transistors. It is important to note that the charge pump is enabled in all three of these example  
half-bridge circuits, however it can be easily disabled by modifying each individual driving circuit according to  
Figure ꢃꢈ.

ꢇ.ꢃ  
Selection of TDI input resistors  
The ꢅEDNꢉꢅXꢊG requires precise input resistors at the IN+ and IN- pins, with resistance values of ꢈꢉ kΩ or  
ꢉꢇ kΩ, depending on the voltage level of the input logic signals. The driver is compatible with either a ꢆ.ꢆ V  
or a ꢇ V logic. These resistors are not optional, even if the application does not require the TDI function ꢁfor  
example low-side applications with no ground bounce concernsꢂ. The input logic thresholds at the IN+ and  
IN- pins are designed to be paired with the specified input resistor values. These input resistors should be  
selected with a ꢄ.ꢅ% tolerance, especially in high-side applications, where the common-mode voltage rating is  
contingent upon tight matching of RINꢅ and RINꢅ. Extra care should be taken to ensure that these resistors are  
symmetrical, so that stray capacitance across them is also tightly matched. Figure ꢃꢊ shows an example of how  
stray capacitances Cpꢅ and Cpꢃ could interfere with the symmetry and matching of RINꢅ and RINꢃ. To optimize this  
symmetry, the two resistors should have identical part numbers with the same package and footprint. Further  
PCB layout recommendations for ensuring symmetry are given later.  
In high-side applications, the input resistors must also be rated for the power dissipation expected in the  
worst-case operating conditions. The common-mode voltage observed by the high-side transistor is "blocked"  
by each input resistor, so that the ꢅEDNꢉꢅXꢊG is not exposed to the high voltage. The resistors dissipate power  
during the intervals where CM voltage is high, typically during the high-side transistor's duty ratio of each  
switching period. The power rating of the resistors should therefore be selected based on

where:

PRinꢃ = Required power rating for Rinꢃ  
D = High-side duty ratio  
Vdc,max = Maximum expected dc bus voltage, experienced as CM voltage during the high-side duty ratio  
It is important to consider that the duty ratio may not be constant, so D should be selected as the duty ratio  
when operating at the maximum dc bus voltage.  
The table below lists some examples for selecting the input resistors, based on logic voltage level, expected dc  
bus voltage, and duty ratio. For most applications, the power requirement is quite low, thereby allowing the  
designer to select very small resistor packages such as ꢄꢈꢄꢃ or ꢄꢊꢄꢆ. In some extreme scenarios with a high dc  
voltage and high duty ratio simultaneously, larger packages with higher power ratings may be needed.

Selection of VDD bypass capacitor  
The VDD bypass capacitor provides the gate charge to drive the transistor, as well as additional power  
consumption by the driver itself and the charge pump ꢁif enabledꢂ. It should be placed as close as possible  
to the VDD and VSS pins of the gate driver, which may require a particular footprint size for most applications.  
The minimum value for this bypass capacitor can be calculated based on the maximum allowable voltage ripple  
in the design. This ripple should be minimized such that the lowest possible VDD is above the UVLO limit of  
the gate driver as well as above the safe driving voltage of the transistor. The charge dissipated per switching  
event is the total of the driven transistor's gate charge and the additional consumption by the charge pump ꢁif  
enabledꢂ. The minimum value can therefore be calculated as  
QG + QCP  
∆VDD, max  
CVdd  
Equation ꢃ  
where the charge pump consumption can be determined through linear approximation. The typical operating  
consumption for the gate driver with a particular charge pump voltage is given in Figure ꢅꢃ for ꢇꢄꢄ kHz with ꢅ  
nF of gate capacitance. The equivalent charge for the same charge pump voltage when operating at a diꢀerent  
frequency with a diꢀerent gate capacitance ꢁCISSꢂ can be approximated as  
ICP  
CISS  
1 nF  
QCP  
×
500 kHz  
Equation ꢅ  
If the charge pump is disabled, QCP can be ignored.  
In a half-bridge configuration, the VDD bypass capacitor also provides the charge for the bootstrap capacitor  
during the charging period. Therefore, the VDD bypass capacitor should be sized to be much larger than the  
bootstrap capacitor. The minimum value should be calculated as  
QG + QCP + QBOOT  
∆VDD, max  
CVdd  
Equation ꢆ  
where QBOOT is the charge consumed by the bootstrapping circuit each cycle. This value is calculated in a later  
section.  
In practice, this capacitance value should be increased somewhat to account for dc bias eꢀects in the capacitor  
and other non-idealities in the circuit.

Selection of external bootstrap diode  
When used in a half-bridge configuration, a bootstrapping circuit is oꢍen used to supply the high-side driver's  
VDD. A fast recovery or schottky diode with low forward voltage drop is recommended in order to minimize  
the losses and leakage current. It should be chosen such that it can handle the peak transient current during  
start-up conditions and the blocking voltage rating should be higher than the maximum input voltage ꢁVINꢂ with  
added margin. It is important to consider that the output capacitance and reverse recovery of this bootstrap  
diode contributes to the total switch-node capacitance of the half-bridge, thereby increasing the total switching  
losses of the application circuit. A schottky diode with low output capacitance is therefore the best choice for  
most applications.  
The ꢅEDNꢉꢅxꢊG gate driver provides two options for bootstrap diode connection. The conventional approach  
is to connect the anode of the diode to the low-side VDD rail, oꢍen with a current-limiting resistor between  
them to limit surge current during startup. However, the recommended approach with ꢅEDNꢉꢅxꢊG is to connect  
the anode of the bootstrap diode to the BST pin of the low-side driver as shown in Figure ꢈ . This enables the  
integrated bootstrap clamping function of the driver, and it also provides current-limiting at startup without the  
need for an added resistor.  
ꢇ.ꢇ  
Selection of bootstrap capacitor  
The bootstrap capacitor provides the necessary charge to drive the high-side transistor. It must be sized in such  
a way that its lowest voltage will be much higher than the UVLO threshold as well as above the minimum safe  
driving voltage of the transistor, during transient and normal operations.  
To determine the minimum required bootstrap capacitance, the maximum allowable ripple in VBOOT must be  
calculated as follows.  
VBOOT, max = VDD − VF − VBOOT, min  
Equation ꢇ  
where:  
VDD = Low-side gate driver supply voltage  
VF = Bootstrap diode forward voltage drop  
VBOOT,min is the minimum allowable voltage for the bootstrap capacitor, including transient events. This voltage  
must be at least high enough to avoid UVLO shutdown, as given by:  
VBOOT, min ≥ VHBR + VHBH  
Equation ꢂ  
where:  
VHBR = High-side driver UVLO rising threshold  
VHBH = High-side driver UVLO threshold hysteresis  
However, the driven transistor may require a higher voltage than this UVLO minimum, in order to remain fully  
on and avoid linear-mode operation. If the calculated minimum VBOOT is lower than the safe driving voltage of  
the transistor, then VBOOT,min should be increased accordingly.  
Next, determine the total charge ꢁQBOOTꢂ that must be delivered by the bootstrap capacitor at maximum duty  
cycle. There are several factors that contribute to the discharge of the bootstrap capacitor such as the high-side  
transistor’s total gate charge and gate-source leakage current, charge pump consumption, bootstrap diode  
reverse bias leakage current, and bootstrap capacitor leakage current. For the sake of simplicity, the bootstrap  
capacitor leakage current can typically be neglected. The total bootstrap charge can be estimated as follows:  
IVdd + Idiode × Dmax  
QBOOT ≈ QG + QCP

ꢇ.ꢂ  
Selection of external gate resistors  
The turn-on and turn-oꢀ external gate resistors control the turn-on and turn-oꢀ current of the gate driver  
providing an external way to control the switching speed of the MOSFET for purposes such as voltage overshoot  
control, ringing reduction, EMI mitigation, spurious turn-on protection, shoot –through protection, etc. In most  
designs, no external gate resistor is needed. Each of the four product variants oꢀers a diꢀerent pull-up and  
pull-down resistance, along with a corresponding peak source and sink current. However, in cases where the  
designers prefers a diꢀerent source and sink driving strength, an external gate resistor may be used.  
The following formulas show the eꢀect of the external gate resistor to the output current capability of the gate  
driver.

RPU = Gate driver pull-up resistance  
RPD = Gate driver pull-down resistance  
VDD = Gate driver supply voltage ꢁequivalent to VBOOT for high-side transistorꢂ  
RG,int = Internal gate resistance of driven transistor  
RGon,ext = External gate resistance connected between Source output and gate  
RGoꢀ,ext = External gate resistance connected between Sink output and gate  
It is important to consider that the peak current may not reach this level during a fast switching transition,  
as is typical with GaN HEMTs. It is also worth nothing that this peak current cannot exceed the specified peak  
source/sink current of the gate driver, as the pull-up and pull-down transistors within the driver saturate at that  
current. However, the selection of product variant according to pull-up and pull-down resistance provides a  
close approximation to selection of external gate resistance in most cases.

ꢇ Application information  
Use of a non-zero RGoꢀ_ext is not recommended for most designs, as this limits the eꢀectiveness of the active  
Miller clamp feature. It is therefore preferable to choose the product variant based on the desired sinking or  
pull-down strength, and then add RGon_ext only if needed to optimize the design.  
ꢇ.ꢁ  
Selection of adjustable charge pump circuit components  
The charge pump is an optional feature of the ꢅEDNꢉꢅXꢊG gate driver. At power-up of the driver ꢁfor example  
system startupꢂ, the driver senses the resistance at the VOFF_ADJ pin, then it enables the charge pump circuit if  
it senses a resistance greater than ꢉꢇꢄ Ω.  
If the charge pump is not enabled at system startup, then the output of VOFF is floating with respect to VSS.  
There is no configuration that causes the VOFF output to be ꢄ V with respect to VSS, so this short-circuit  
connection must be provided externally on the PCB. Otherwise, the oꢀ-state gate voltage of the transistor may  
not be ꢄ V.  
If the driver senses a resistor greater than ꢉꢇꢄ Ω, the charge pump is enabled with a negative VOFF voltage  
determined by the resistor value. This resistance must be selected based on the table given earlier in the  
datasheet. In this scenario, the designer must add a ꢅꢄꢄ nF flying capacitor between CF+ and CF- pins to  
support the internal charge pump circuit. Furthermore, a bypass capacitor must be placed between VOFF and  
VSS to provide a stable VOFF voltage and to supply the dynamic gate current during turn-oꢀ transitions. This  
capacitance value should selected based on the gate charge of the driven transistor, similar to the VDD bypass  
capacitor. The minimum required VOFF bypass capacitance can be determined by  
CISS × VOFF  
∆ VOFF, max  
CVoff  
Equation ꢀꢀ  
where:  
CISS = Input capacitance of the driven transistor  
VOFF = Selected charge-pump output voltage  
ΔVOFF,max = Maximum deviation in VOFF allowable in the design  
As with the other bypass capacitors, it is recommended to add some margin to this capacitance value to  
account for capacitor dc bias eꢀects and other circuit non-idealities.  
ꢇ.ꢊ  
PCB layout recommendations  
The combination of the gate driver, bypass capacitors, and driven transistor forms a high-frequency current  
loop that defines the parasitic inductance in series with that loop. Likewise, in a half-bridge, the combination  
of the high-side and low-side transistors forms a high-frequency current loop with the bypass capacitors for the  
dc bus ꢁfor example Vin for a buck converterꢂ. The relative location on the PCB of those components is essential  
to reach high level of performance. The parasitic inductances within these loops can cause serious eꢀiciency  
degradation due to dynamic eꢀects. In addition, any coupling between the gate driving loops and half-bridge  
power loop can cause spurious switching events or other performance degradation. Coupling between either of  
these loops and the signal paths feeding to the TDI input resistors can also cause spurious switching. Finally, as  
mentioned previously, the TDI input circuit may be aꢀected by stray capacitance and other asymmetries in the  
PCB design. Careful layout can help minimize or eliminate such unwanted eꢀects.  
The following recommendations help the designer to optimize the PCB layout, as demonstrated in the half-  
bridge example pictures below.  
ꢀ.  
Keep all high-frequency loops as short as possible, and use diꢀerential returns for current paths to  
cancel the magnetic fields and reduce parasitic inductance.

Minimize stray inductance, especially on low impedance lines. All high-current traces ꢁVDD, VSS,  
OUT_SRC, OUT_SNK, VOFFꢂ should be short and wide, and copper pours are recommended over traces  
when the design allows.  
ꢅ.  
To optimize heat spreading, electrical shielding, and magnetic field cancellation, a VSS-connected  
copper pour should be placed directly underneath the IC as well as all components encompassed by the  
gate driving loop ꢁfor example bypass capacitors, gate and source pads of transistorꢂ. For the low-side

driver, this shielding pour should be connected to PGND. For the high-side driver, it should be connected  
to the switch-node, which is the mid-point of the half-bridge.  
To avoid interference between the power loop and gate loops, separate shielding layers should be used  
for each loop, even if they are both connected to the same net.  
To optimize the symmetry of the TDI input resistors, they should be placed directly beside each other  
and symmetrically shielded on the first inner layer. The controller-side of the two resistors should be  
shielded by the controller ground net ꢁSGNDꢂ, and the driver-side of the two resistors should be shielded  
by the same VSS-connected copper used to shield the rest of the driving circuit.

The dielectric spacing between the top copper layer and first inner layer should be minimized to enhance  
the magnetic field cancellation eꢀects. A spacing of ꢋꢄ ~ ꢅꢄꢄ microns is used in the example below.
