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 PCB ground for optimal
electrical and thermal performance.
IN (Pin 5): Input Signal. Input referenced to an internal
supply baised off of V
LOGIC
(Pin 6) and GND. 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 Schottky diode connected
between this pin and BOOST. A low ESR ceramic bypass
capacitor should be tied between this pin and GND.
BOOST (Pin 8): High Side Bootstrapped Supply. An
external capacitor should be tied between this pin and TS
(Pin 2). Normally an external Schottky 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 voltage drop of the Schottky diode.
