MIC4100/1  
100V Half Bridge MOSFET Drivers  
General Description  
Features  
The MIC4100/1 are high frequency, 100V Half Bridge  
MOSFET driver ICs featuring fast 30ns propagation delay  
times. The low-side and high-side gate drivers are  
independently controlled and matched to within 3ns  
typical. The MIC4100 has CMOS input thresholds, and the  
MIC4101 has TTL input thresholds. The MIC4100/1  
include a high voltage internal diode that charges the high-  
side gate drive bootstrap capacitor.

A robust, high-speed, and low power level shifter provides  
clean level transitions to the high side output. The robust  
operation of the MIC4100/1 ensures the outputs are not  
affected by supply glitches, HS ringing below ground, or  
HS slewing with high speed voltage transitions. Under-  
voltage protection is provided on both the low-side and  
high-side drivers.  
The MIC4100 is available in the SOIC-8L package with a  
junction operating range from –40°C to +125°C.

Functional Description  
The MIC4100 is a high voltage, non-inverting, dual  
MOSFET driver that is designed to independently drive  
both high-side and low-side N-Channel MOSFETs. The  
block diagram of the MIC4100 is shown in Figure 1.  
Both drivers contain an input buffer with hysteresis, a  
UVLO circuit and an output buffer. The high-side output  
buffer includes a high speed level-shifting circuit that is  
referenced to the HS pin. An internal diode is used as part  
of a bootstrap circuit to provide the drive voltage for the  
high-side output.  
Startup and UVLO  
Figure 2  
The UVLO circuit forces the driver output low until the  
supply voltage exceeds the UVLO threshold. The low-side  
UVLO circuit monitors the voltage between the VDD and  
VSS pins. The high-side UVLO circuit monitors the voltage  
between the HB and HS pins. Hysteresis in the UVLO  
circuit prevents noise and finite circuit impedance from  
causing chatter during turn-on.  
The MIC4101 has a TTL compatible input range and is  
recommended for use with inputs signals whose amplitude  
is less than the supply voltage. The threshold level is  
independent of the VDD supply voltage and there is no  
dependence between IVDD and the input signal amplitude  
with the MIC4101. This feature makes the MIC4101 an  
excellent level translator that will drive high threshold  
MOSFETs from a low voltage PWM IC.  
Input Stage  
The MIC4100 and MIC4101 have different input stages,  
which lets these parts cover a wide range of driver  
applications. Both the HI and LI pins are referenced to the  
VSS pin. The voltage state of the input signal does not  
change the quiescent current draw of the driver.  
Low-Side Driver  
A block diagram of the low-side driver is shown in Figure  
3. The low-side driver is designed to drive a ground (Vss  
pin) referenced N-channel MOSFET. Low driver  
impedances allow the external MOSFET to be turned on  
and off quickly. The rail-to-rail drive capability of the output  
ensures a low Rdson from the external MOSFET.  
The MIC4100 has a high impedance, CMOS compatible  
input range and is recommended for applications where  
the input signal is noisy or where the input signal swings  
the full range of voltage (from Vdd to Gnd). There is  
typically 400mV of hysteresis on the input pins throughout  
the VDD range. The hysteresis improves noise immunity  
and prevents input signals with slow rise times from falsely  
triggering the output. The threshold voltage of the  
MIC4100 varies proportionally with the VDD supply  
voltage.  
A high level applied to LI pin causes the upper driver fet to  
turn on and Vdd voltage is applied to the gate of the  
external MOSFET. A low level on the LI pin turns off the  
upper driver and turns on the low side driver to ground the  
gate of the external MOSFET.  
The amplitude of the input signal affects the VDD supply  
current. Vin voltages that are a diode drop less than the  
VDD supply voltage will cause an increase in the VDD pin  
current. The graph in Figure 2 shows the typical  
dependence between IVDD and Vin for Vdd=12V.

synchronous buck converter shown in Figure 5, the HS pin  
is at ground potential while the low-side MOSFET is on.  
The internal diode allows capacitor CB to charge up to  
Vdd-Vd during this time (where Vd is the forward voltage  
drop of the internal diode). After the low-side MOSFET is  
turned off and the HO pin turns on, the voltage across  
capacitor CB is applied to the gate of the upper external  
MOSFET. As the upper MOSFET turns on, voltage on the  
HS pin rises with the source of the high-side MOSFET until  
it reaches Vin. As the HS and HB pin rise, the internal  
diode is reverse biased preventing capacitor CB from  
discharging.

Application Information  
Power Dissipation Considerations  
Power dissipation in the driver can be separated into three  
areas:  
where : IRRM = Peak Reverse RecoveryCurrent  
trr = Reverse RecoveryTime  
Internal diode dissipation in the bootstrap circuit  
Internal driver dissipation  
The total diode power dissipation is:  
Quiescent current dissipation used to supply the  
internal logic and control functions.  
Pdiodetotal = Pdiode fwd + PdiodeRR  
An optional external bootstrap diode may be used instead  
of the internal diode (Figure 6). An external diode may be  
useful if high gate charge MOSFETs are being driven and  
the power dissipation of the internal diode is contributing to  
excessive die temperatures. The voltage drop of the  
external diode must be less than the internal diode for this  
option to work. The reverse voltage across the diode will  
be equal to the input voltage minus the Vdd supply  
voltage. A 100V Schottky diode will work for most 72Vinput  
telecom applications. The above equations can be used to  
calculate power dissipation in the external diode, however,  
if the external diode has significant reverse leakage  
current, the power dissipated in that diode due to reverse  
leakage can be calculated as:  
Bootstrap Circuit Power Dissipation  
Power dissipation of the internal bootstrap diode primarily  
comes from the average charging current of the CB  
capacitor times the forward voltage drop of the diode.  
Secondary sources of diode power dissipation are the  
reverse leakage current and reverse recovery effects of  
the diode.  
The average current drawn by repeated charging of the  
high-side MOSFET is calculated by:  
IF ( AVE) = Qgate × fS  
where : Qgate = TotalGateCharge at VHB  
fS = gate driveswitching frequency  
PdiodeREV = IR ×VREV × (1D)  
where : IR = Reverse current flow at VREV and TJ  
VREV = Diode Reverse Voltage  
The average power dissipated by the forward voltage drop  
of the diode equals:  
Pdiodefwd = IF ( AVE) ×VF  
D = Duty Cycle = tON / fS  
where : VF = Diode forward voltagedrop  
fs = switching frequency of the power supply  
The on-time is the time the high-side switch is conducting.  
In most power supply topologies, the diode is reverse  
biased during the switching cycle off-time.  
The value of VF should be taken at the peak current  
through the diode, however, this current is difficult to  
calculate because of differences in source impedances.  
The peak current can either be measured or the value of  
VF at the average current can be used and will yield a good  
approximation of diode power dissipation.  
The reverse leakage current of the internal bootstrap diode  
is typically 11uA at a reverse voltage of 100V and 125C.  
Power dissipation due to reverse leakage is typically much  
less than 1mW and can be ignored.  
Reverse recovery time is the time required for the injected  
minority carriers to be swept away from the depletion  
region during turn-off of the diode. Power dissipation due  
to reverse recovery can be calculated by computing the  
average reverse current due to reverse recovery charge  
times the reverse voltage across the diode. The average  
reverse current and power dissipation due to reverse  
recovery can be estimated by:

Dissipation during the external MOSFET Turn-On  
Energy from capacitor CB is used to charge up the input  
capacitance of the MOSFET (Cgd and Cgs). The energy  
delivered to the MOSFET is dissipated in the three  
resistive components, Ron, Rg and Rg_fet. Ron is the on  
resistance of the upper driver MOSFET in the MIC4100.  
Rg is the series resistor (if any) between the driver IC and  
the MOSFET. Rg_fet is the gate resistance of the  
MOSFET. Rg_fet is usually listed in the power MOSFET’s  
specifications. The ESR of capacitor CB and the resistance  
of the connecting etch can be ignored since they are much  
less than Ron and Rg_fet.

The effective capacitance of Cgd and Cgs is difficult to

include a typical graph of total gate charge vs. Vgs. Figure  
8 shows a typical gate charge curve for an arbitrary power  
MOSFET. This chart shows that for a gate voltage of 10V,  
the MOSFET requires about 23.5nC of charge. The energy  
dissipated by the resistive components of the gate drive

Fast propagation delay between the input and output drive  
waveform is desirable. It improves overcurrent protection  
by decreasing the response time between the control  
signal and the MOSFET gate drive. Minimizing  
propagation delay also minimizes phase shift errors in  
power supplies with wide bandwidth control loops.

Many power supply topologies use two switching  
MOSFETs operating 180º out of phase from each other.  
These MOSFETs must not be on at the same time or a  
short circuit will occur, causing high peak currents and  
higher power dissipation in the MOSFETs. The MIC4100  
and MIC4101 output gate drivers are not designed with  
anti-shoot-through protection circuitry. The output drives  
signals simply follow the inputs. The power supply design  
must include timing delays (dead-time) between the input  
The power dissipated inside the MIC4100/1 is equal to the  
ratio of Ron & Roff to the external resistive losses in Rg  
and Rg_fet. Letting Ron =Roff, the power dissipated in the

Supply Current Power Dissipation  
MIC4101 drivers specify delay matching between the two  
drivers to help improve power supply performance by  
reducing the amount of dead-time required between the  
input signals.  
Power is dissipated in the MIC4100 even if is there is  
nothing being driven. The supply current is drawn by the  
bias for the internal circuitry, the level shifting circuitry and  
shoot-through current in the output drivers. The supply  
current is proportional to operating frequency and the Vdd  
and Vhb voltages. The typical characteristic graphs show  
how supply current varies with switching frequency and  
supply voltage.  
Care must be taken to insure the input signal pulse width  
is greater than the minimum specified pulse width. An  
input signal that is less than the minimum pulse width may  
result in no output pulse or an output pulse whose width is  
significantly less than the input.  
The power dissipated by the MIC4100 due to supply  
current is  
The maximum duty cycle (ratio of high side on-time to  
switching period) is controlled by the minimum pulse width  
of the low side and by the time required for the CB  
capacitor to charge during the off-time. Adequate time  
must be allowed for the CB capacitor to charge up before  
the high-side driver is turned on.  
Pdisssup ply = Vdd × Idd +Vhb × Ihb  
Total power dissipation and Thermal Considerations  
Total power dissipation in the MIC4100 or MIC4101 is  
equal to the power dissipation caused by driving the  
external MOSFETs, the supply current and the internal  
bootstrap diode.  
Decoupling and Bootstrap Capacitor Selection  
Decoupling capacitors are required for both the low side  
(Vdd) and high side (HB) supply pins. These capacitors  
supply the charge necessary to drive the external  
MOSFETs as well as minimize the voltage ripple on these  
pins. The capacitor from HB to HS serves double duty by  
providing decoupling for the high-side circuitry as well as  
providing current to the high-side circuit while the high-side  
external MOSFET is on. Ceramic capacitors are  
recommended because of their low impedance and small  
size. Z5U type ceramic capacitor dielectrics are not  
recommended due to the large change in capacitance over  
temperature and voltage. A minimum value of 0.1uf is  
required for each of the capacitors, regardless of the  
MOSFETs being driven. Larger MOSFETs may require  
larger capacitance values for proper operation. The  
voltage rating of the capacitors depends on the supply  
voltage, ambient temperature and the voltage derating  
used for reliability. 25V rated X5R or X7R ceramic

power dissipation is known.

capacitors are recommended for most applications. The  
minimum capacitance value should be increased if low  
voltage capacitors are use since even good quality  
dielectric capacitors, such as X5R, will lose 40% to 70% of  
their capacitance value at the rated voltage.  
is from the source of the MOSFET and back to capacitor  
CB. The high-side circuit return path usually does not have  
a low impedance ground plane so the etch connections in  
this critical path should be short and wide to minimize  
parasitic inductance. As with the low-side circuit,  
impedance between the MOSFET source and the  
decoupling capacitor causes negative voltage feedback  
which fights the turn-on of the MOSFET.  
Placement of the decoupling capacitors is critical. The  
bypass capacitor for Vdd should be placed as close as  
possible between the Vdd and Vss pins. The bypass  
capacitor (CB) for the HB supply pin must be located as  
close as possible between the HB and HS pins. The etch  
connections must be short, wide and direct. The use of a  
ground plane to minimize connection impedance is  
recommended. Refer to the section on layout and  
component placement for more information.  
It is important to note that capacitor CB must be placed  
close to the HB and HS pins. This capacitor not only  
provides all the energy for turn-on but it must also keep HB  
pin noise and ripple low for proper operation of the high-  
side drive circuitry.  
The voltage on the bootstrap capacitor drops each time it  
delivers charge to turn on the MOSFET. The voltage drop  
depends on the gate charge required by the MOSFET.  
Most MOSFET specifications specify gate charge vs. Vgs  
voltage. Based on this information and a recommended  
VHB of less than 0.1V, the minimum value of bootstrap  
capacitance is calculated as:

Turn-On Current Paths  
Figure 9  
Grounding, Component Placement and Circuit Layout  
Nanosecond switching speeds and ampere peak currents  
in and around the MIC4100 and MIC4101 drivers require  
proper placement and trace routing of all components.  
Improper placement may cause degraded noise immunity,  
false switching, excessive ringing or circuit latch-up.  
Figure 10 shows the critical current paths when the driver  
outputs go low and turn off the external MOSFETs. Short,  
low impedance connections are important during turn-off  
for the same reasons given in the turn-on explanation.  
Current flowing through the internal diode replenishes  
charge in the bootstrap capacitor, CB.  
Figure 9 shows the critical current paths when the driver  
outputs go high and turn on the external MOSFETs. It also  
helps demonstrate the need for a low impedance ground  
plane. Charge needed to turn-on the MOSFET gates  
comes from the decoupling capacitors CVDD and CB.  
Current in the low-side gate driver flows from CVDD through  
the internal driver, into the MOSFET gate and out the  
Source. The return connection back to the decoupling  
capacitor is made through the ground plane. Any  
inductance or resistance in the ground return path causes  
a voltage spike or ringing to appear on the source of the  
MOSFET. This voltage works against the gate drive  
voltage and can either slow down or turn off the MOSFET  
during the period where it should be turned on.  
Current in the high-side driver is sourced from capacitor CB  
and flows into the HB pin and out the HO pin, into the gate  
of the high side MOSFET. The return path for the current

The following circuit guidelines should be adhered to for  
optimum circuit performance:  
1. The Vcc and HB bypass capacitors must be  
placed close to the supply and ground pins. It is  
critical that the etch length between the high side  
decoupling capacitor (CB) and the HB & HS pins  
be minimized to reduce lead inductance.  
2. A ground plane should be used to minimize  
parasitic inductance and impedance of the return  
paths. The MIC4100 is capable of greater than 2A  
peak currents and any impedance between the  
MIC4100, the decoupling capacitors and the  
external MOSFET will degrade the performance of  
the driver.  
3. Trace out the high di/dt and dv/dt paths, as shown  
in Figures 9 and 10 and minimize etch length and  
loop area for these connections. Minimizing these  
parameters decreases the parasitic inductance  
and the radiated EMI generated by fast rise and  
fall times.  
A typical layout of a synchronous Buck converter power  
stage (Figure 11) is shown in Figure 12.

The circuit is configured as a synchronous buck power  
stage. The high-side MOSFET drain connects to the input  
supply voltage (drain) and the source connects to the  
switching node. The low-side MOSFET drain connects to  
the switching node and its source is connected to ground.  
The buck converter output inductor (not shown) would  
connect to the switching node. The high-side drive trace,  
HO, is routed on top of its return trace, HS, to minimize  
loop area and parasitic inductance. The low-side drive  
trace LO is routed over the ground plane which minimizes  
the impedance of that current path. The decoupling  
capacitors, CB and CVDD are placed to minimize etch length  
between the capacitors and their respective pins. This  
close placement is necessary to efficiently charge  
capacitor CB when the HS node is low. All traces are  
0.025” wide or greater to reduce impedance. Cin is used to  
decouple the high current path through the MOSFETs.
