capacitor to the PHASE pin.
Internally connected to the cathode of the integrated bootstrap diode. See
Section 5.3 for guidance in designing the capacitor value.
22PWM
Control input for the driver, 5 V compatible.
This pin controls the state of the driver and which external MOSFET have to be
turned-ON according to EN status. If left floating and in conjunction with EN
asserted, it causes the driver to enter the high-impedance (HiZ) state which causes
all MOSFETs to be OFF. See Section 5.1 for details about HiZ.
33 EN
Enable input for the driver. Internally pulled low by 15 kΩ.
Pull high to enable the driver according to the PWM status. If pulled low will cause
the drive to enter HiZ state with all MOSFET OFF regardless of the PWM status.
See Section 5.1 for details about HiZ.
4, 5 4 VCC
Device and LS driver power supply. Connect to any voltage between 5 V and 12 V.
Bypass with low-ESR MLCC capacitor to GND.
65LGATE
Low-side driver output.
Connect directly to the low-side MOSFET gate. A small series resistor can be useful
to reduce dissipated power especially in high frequency applications.
7, 8 6 GND
All internal references, logic and drivers are referenced to this pin. Connect to the
PCB ground plane.
9 7 PHASE
High-side driver return path. Connect to the high-side MOSFET source.
This pin is also monitored for the adaptive dead-time management and Pre-OV
Protection.
10 8 UGATE
High-side driver output.
Connect to high-side MOSFET gate.
PA D - T H . PA D
Thermal pad connects the Silicon substrate and makes good thermal contact with
the PCB. Connect to the PGND plane. (DFN10 only)
