PIN FUNCTIONS
TG (Pin 1): High Side Gate Driver Output (Top Gate). This
pin swings between TS and BOOST.
TS (Pin 2): High Side MOSFET Source Connection (Top
Source).
BG (Pin 3): Low Side Gate Driver Output (Bottom Gate).
This pin swings between V
CC
and GND.
GND (Pin 4, Exposed Pad Pin 9): Chip Ground. The exposed
pad must be soldered to the PCB ground for electrical
contact and for rated thermal performance.
IN (Pin 5): Input Signal. Input referenced to an internal
supply powered by V
LOGIC
(Pin 6) and referenced to GND
(Pin 4). If this pin is fl oating, an internal resistive divider
triggers a shutdown mode in which both BG (Pin 3) and
TG (Pin 1) are pulled low. Trace capacitance on this pin
should be minimized to keep the shutdown time low.
V
LOGIC
(Pin 6): Logic Supply. This pin powers the input
buffer and logic. Connect this pin to the power supply
of the controller that is driving IN (Pin 5) to match input
thresholds or to V
CC
(Pin 7) to simplify PCB routing.
V
CC
(Pin 7): Output Driver Supply. This pin powers the
low side gate driver output directly and the high side
gate driver output through an external diode connected
between this pin and BOOST (Pin 8). A low ESR ceramic
bypass capacitor should be tied between this pin and
GND (Pin 4).
BOOST (Pin 8): High Side Bootstrapped Supply. An ex-
ternal capacitor should be tied between this pin and TS
(Pin 2). Normally, a bootstrap diode is connected between
V
CC
(Pin 7) and this pin. Voltage swing at this pin is from
V
CC
– V
D
to V
IN
+ V
CC
– V
D
, where V
D
is the forward volt-
age drop of the bootstrap diode.
