The ISL78424, ISL78434, and ISL78444 are Automotive  
Grade (AEC-Q100 Grade 1) high voltage, high  
frequency, half-bridge NMOS FET drivers for driving  
the gates of up to 70V half-bridge topologies.  
Features  
• Patented gate-sensed adaptive dead time control  
provides shoot-through protection and mimized dead  
time  
The family of half-bridge drivers feature 3A sourcing,  
4A sinking peak gate drive current. The ISL78424 and  
ISL78444 feature a single tri-level PWM input for  
controlling both gate drivers. The ISL78434 has dual  
independent inputs for controlling the high-side and  
low-side driver separately. The ISL78424 and ISL78434  
have independent sourcing and sinking pins for each gate  
driver while ISL78444 has a single combined  
• Unique tri-level PWM input for integration with  
Renesas multiphase controllers (for example,  
ISL78225 and ISL78226)  
• 3A sourcing and 4A sinking output current  
• On-chip 3Ω bootsrap FET switch  
• Programmable dead time delay with single resistor  
• Tri-level PWM input (ISL78424, ISL78444)  
• Independent HI/LI inputs (ISL78434)  
sourcing/sinking output for each gate driver.  
Strong gate drive strength and the Adaptive Dead Time  
(ADT) feature allow this family of drivers to switch high  
• Separate source/sink pins at driver outputs

voltage, low r  
power FETs in half-bridge  
DS(ON)  
topologies at high operating frequencies while providing  
shoot-through protection and minimizing dead time  
switching losses.  
• Bootstrap and VDD Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)  
• Wide supply range: 8V to 18V  
• Bootstrap supply maximum voltage: 100V  
• Maximum phase voltage: 86V  
The ISL78424, ISL78434, and ISL78444 are offered in a 14  
Ld HTSSOP package that complies with 100V conductor  
spacing per IPC-2221B. The ISL78444 is pin compatible  
with the ISL78420. All devices are specified across a  
wide ambient temperature range of -40°C to +140°C.

4. Product Description  
4. Product Description  
The ISL78424, ISL78434, and ISL78444 are Automotive Grade (AEC-Q100 Grade 1) high voltage, high frequency,  
half-bridge N-MOSFET gate drivers for up to 70V half-bridge topologies. The family of half bridge drivers feature 3A  
sourcing, 4A sinking peak gate drive current. The ISL78424 and ISL78444 feature a single tri-level PWM input for  
controlling both gate drivers. The ISL78434 has dual independent inputs for controlling the high and low-side driver  
separately. Strong gate drive strength and the adaptive dead time feature allow this family of drivers to switch high  
voltage, low r power MOSFETs in half bridge topologies at high operating frequencies while providing  
ON  
shoot-through protection and minimizing dead time switching losses. For drivers with single PWM inputs (ISL78424  
and ISL78444), when the input is logic high, the high-side driver is on and the low-side driver is off. When the input is  
a logic low, the low-side driver is on and the high-side driver is off. When the input voltage is mid-level, both the high  
and low-side drivers are low to keep the bridge off. The tri-level single PWM input allows the half-bridge to be phase  
dropped in multi-phase applications. When the enable pin (EN) is low, it takes the bridge driver outputs to a low state  
to turn off the FETs. When used with the Renesas Multiphase PWM Controllers (ISL78220, ISL78225, ISL78224, and  
ISL78226) with driver enable output logic, the EN pin prevents false bridge operation during controller start up.  
4.1  
Single PWM or Independent HI/LI Inputs  
The ISL78424 and ISL78444 feature a single tri-level PWM input pin to control both the high-side and low-side  
driver outputs. When PWM is logic high on the ISL78424, the high-side source driver is active and the low-side  
sink driver is active. When PWM is logic low on the ISL78424, the low-side source driver is active and the  
high-side sink driver is active. The ISL78444 combines the sinking and sourcing drivers to make one gate drive  
signal (LO or HO). The gate drive signal is high when the sourcing driver is active, and conversely, the gate drive is  
low when the sinking driver is active. If the PWM pin is left floating, internal pull-up and pull down resistors bias  
the PWM pin to the mid-level state. The mid-level state has both high-side and low-side sink drivers active.  
Alternatively, the PWM pin can be actively driven to the mid-level state.  
The single tri-level PWM input is ideal for multi-phase DC/DC converter applications that require phase dropping  
in light-load conditions. With a single input controlling the high and low-side driver, this reduces the number of  
controller signals needed by half and simplifies the PCB design, especially in six phase or greater DC/DC  
converters. The mid-level state puts the half-bridge in high impedance state for phase dropping.  
The ISL78434 features independent inputs HI and LI that drive the HO and LO outputs, respectively. The PWM  
pin is replaced with HI and LI pins. Separate inputs are used in controllers that need to control the upper and lower  
FET with independent signals.  
4.2  
ISL78424 and ISL78444 PWM Input  
The ISL78424 and ISL78444 single PWM input controls both high and low-side driver with one control signal.  
When the PWM input is switching between logic high and logic low, the high-side driver output is in phase with  
the PWM input while the low-side driver is logic inverted from the PWM input. If the PWM is in mid-level (that is,  
2.5V) both driver outputs are low. By design, the PWM input prevents a controller from turning both drivers on,  
providing shoot-through protection against faulted input logic that can occur from a two input driver inadvertently  
turning both drivers on.

ISL78434 HI/LI Lockout Protection  
With independent HI and LI inputs being driven by two control signals, dead time is set with the controller by  
ensuring one control signal is off prior to turning on the other one. There is a possibility the controller outputs are  
damaged, faulted or from improper dead time programming, causing logic high to both inputs to the driver. The  
ISL78434 features an input lockout protection to prevent both driver outputs going active high at the same time.  
Internal logic in the IC senses the HI and LI inputs. The driver locks out any input logic from propagating to that  
driver output if the other input is already logic high. For example, if HI = 1, LO output does not respond to LI input  
logic high. If LI = 1, HO output does not respond to HI input logic high. The lockout function is disabled when the  
first high input goes low, allowing the second input logic to propagate to the output. As a further protection against  
shoot-through, adaptive dead time is enforced when recovering from the lockout function.

Separate Source and Sink Outputs  
The ISL78424 and ISL78434 feature separate pins for the sourcing and sinking driver outputs. The HO_H and  
HO_L are the high-side sourcing and sinking drivers, respectively. The LO_H and LO_L are the low-side sourcing  
and sinking drivers, respectively. Separate source and sink output pins allow optimizing the FET turn on/off times  
using gate drive limiting resistors.  
The half bridge MOSFET drain-to-source switching dv/dt and di/dt can cause problems when the turn on or turn off  
occurs too fast (transient overshoot, ringing, and EMI). Many half bridge circuit designs commonly place gate  
drive limiting resistors in series with the driver output to limit the gate drive current and effectively slow down the  
turn on and/or turn off of the MOSFET. The turn on and turn off times are typically independently optimized.  
A cumbersome solution for single output drivers is to use a series diode + resistor in parallel of a second gate  
resistor to provide isolation of the sourcing and sinking driver currents (see Figure 40 on page 22). With the diode  
solution, the gate drive limiting impedance is the parallel resistance in the sinking path and the resistance without  
the diode in the sourcing path. The drawback of the diode solution is the extra component cost and the parallel  
resistance requires tuning of both resistors for slew rate control.

A solution to eliminate the diode and simplify the gate resistance tuning is to provide independent high (sourcing)  
and low (sinking) driver outputs. This gives flexibility of tuning the source and sink driver impedance to the  
MOSFET gate without the need of a blocking diode. To separate each output into independent source and sink  
paths, the half bridge requires an additional pin per driver output (see Figure 41).

Peak Gate Drive Currents  
The high-side and low-side drivers feature 3A peak sourcing and 4A peak sinking drive capability. Strong gate  
drive allows fast switching times when low r , high voltage power MOSFETs are used. The switching time of  
DS(ON)  
the MOSFET translates to the total gate charge of the MOSFET divided by the peak current of the driver.

4. Product Description  
As we can see with the high sourcing and sinking currents of the ISL78424, ISL78434, and ISL78444, the  
switching times of the MOSFETs are 16.7ns (turn on) and 12.5ns (turn off) for a MOSFET with about 5nF of gate  
capacitance (V = 0V to 10V). Some bridge drivers offer gate drive capability as low as 500mA, resulting in  
GS  
switching times in the 100ns range for the MOSFET in the example above.  
4.6  
Shoot-Through Protection  
The ISL78424, ISL78434, and ISL78444 feature shoot-through protection of the half bridge by preventing the  
driver from turning on both FETs at the same time. These drivers integrate Adaptive Dead Time Control (ADTC)  
that prevents a MOSFET in the bridge from being switched on until the complementary MOSFET has been  
switched off. The ADTC function seeks to minimize dead time, the time when both MOSFETs are off, while  
preventing the possibility that both MOSFETs are on at the same time, a condition that could result in  
shoot-through. ADTC prevents shoot-through while minimizing the higher conduction losses that occur during  
long dead times.  
4.7  
Shoot-Through and Dead Time  
Shoot-through occurs when both FETs in the half bridge are on at the same time, creating a short-circuit path of the  
bridge. In a buck regulator, the bus voltage would see a short-circuit to ground causing large current to flow  
through both FETs. This leads to high power dissipation and can result in FET damage. Dead time is the time when  
both FETs are off at the same time. Before a FET in the half bridge is turned on, the complementary FET is first  
switched off, purposefully creating a period of dead time that prevents shoot-through. However, if care is not taken,  
under some conditions one FET may not be completely off before the complementary FET is turned on. In such a  
condition, there is no dead time and a transient shoot though condition occurs that results in a momentary  
short-circuit of the bridge. This fault becomes very serious as the duration when both FETs are on simultaneously is  
extended and can quickly result in damage of the power FETs due to high power dissipation. ISL78424, ISL78434,  
and ISL78444 driver includes shoot-through protection to prevent such a condition.  
4.8  
Adaptive Dead Time Control (ADTC)  
With proper design, shoot-through caused by faulted inputs turning both drivers on are avoided. Other  
shoot-through conditions occur when there is no dead time on the driver outputs causing a momentary overlap  
when both FETs are still on. This kind of shoot-through occurs when the gate to source voltage for the top and  
bottom FET are above the gate threshold voltages, turning both FETs on. Even with proper input logic control,  
anything that causes the turning off FET to overlap with the turning on FET without dead time causes a transient  
shoot-through. To prevent against transient shoot-through faults, the ISL78424, ISL78434, and ISL78444 family of  
drivers implement Adaptive Dead Time Control circuit that prevents a driver output from turning ON until a  
satisfactory condition is sensed at the turning OFF driver. To turn on a FET, the associated driver output does not go  
high until the driver output of the turning off FET crosses a falling threshold. This ensures that one FET is  
completely off before the other FET is turned on with a minimum dead time, minimizing switching losses, and  
increasing converter efficiency.

Adaptive Dead Time and Gate Resistors  
To prevent shoot-through, adaptive dead time control senses the voltage at the driver output pins for crossing a  
falling threshold, at which point the driver considers the FET to be off, before turning the other driver on. With  
single driver outputs HO and LO, the accuracy of the sense circuit is disrupted when gate resistors are used in series  
with the driver outputs to slow down the FET turn on/off time because the resistor isolates the driver output from  
the FET gate. The resistor and FET gate capacitance form an RC low pass filter of the driver output to the FET  
gate. With the gate voltage lagging behind the driver output voltage, the adaptive dead time control could sense a  
falling threshold at the driver output but the slower falling gate voltage could still be higher than the gate threshold,  
resulting in no dead time and causing a momentary shoot-through condition of the bridge.

Figure 43. Adaptive Dead Time Problem with Gate Resistors  
The ISL78424 and ISL78434 drivers include a means of using independent source/sink driver outputs to overcome  
the error that gate resistors typically introduce to adaptive dead time implementations. The driver output sourcing  
pins (LO_H and HO_H) are used as a Kelvin sense when not actively sourcing. When the sinking pins (LO_L or  
HO_L) are active during FET turn off, even with gate resistors between driver output and FET gate, the gate  
voltage (and not the driver output) is sensed by the LO_H or HO_H pin. Adaptive Dead Time Control combined  
with the gate sensing from separate driver output source and sink pins eliminates the error of inaccurate adaptive  
dead time sensing when combined with gate resistors.

Figure 44. Adaptive Dead Time with Gate Sensing  
Adaptive dead time control minimizes dead time needed to prevent bridge shoot-through. During dead time, the  
body diode of the synchronous FET conducts, generating conduction losses that exceed those that would occur if  
the MOSFET itself was conducting. Because conduction losses are higher during dead time than they otherwise  
would be if the MOSFET were conducting, conversion efficiency is improved as dead time is decreased, so long as

shoot-through does not occur. The lowest adaptive dead time achieved is limited by the propagation delay of the  
sense circuitry inside the driver. If more dead time is required, the adjustable dead time delay function (ISL78424  
and ISL78444 only) further increases the minimum dead time set by the Adaptive dead time control by adjusting  
the resistor value on RDT pin.

4.10 Falling Thresholds for ADTC  
The three thresholds for the falling edge detection for Adaptive Dead Time Control - two for the high-side and one  
for the low-side are summarized in Table 2. For ISL78424 and ISL78434, the detection is sensed at the driver  
source pins LO_H (low side) and HO_H (high side). For ISL78444 where the source and sink driver outputs are on  
one pin, the detection is done at LO and HO directly, losing the gate sense capability. Additionally, there is a falling  
edge HS phase sense detector on the high-side driver that turns on the LO output when the high-side gate sense is  
not detected. This occurs when a large gate resistor slows down the turn off of the high-side FET such that gate  
voltage is below the Miller voltage but still above the ADTC detection threshold. Here the changing of the HS  
phase node voltage detects that the high-side FET has turned off.

4.11 Adjustable Dead Time Delay (RDT Pin)  
The minimum dead time due to propagation delays of the adaptive dead time control circuit on this family of bridge  
drivers can be increased with the adjustable dead time delay feature (ISL78424 and ISL78444). Connect a resistor  
from the RDT pin to AGND to further increase the dead time set by the ADTC circuit. The adaptive dead time  
range due to the additional programmed dead time is 30ns to 240ns, from the allowable R resistance values of  
DT  
10kΩ to 100kΩ. This function is useful if the minimum dead time from the adaptive dead time control requires  
extra margin in the system to prevent shoot-through from occurring.  
If adjustable dead time delay is not needed, connect the RDT pin to ground.  
A 0.6V reference voltage combined with the resistor on the RDT pin generates a current for an internal oscillator;  
the current being proportional to the additional dead time delay. The relationship of resistor value on the RDT pin  
to dead time is shown in Figure 46 on page 26.

4.12 Integrated Bootstrap Switch  
The ISL78424, ISL78434, and ISL78444 family integrates a bootstrap switch internal to the IC. No external boot  
diode is necessary for the high-side driver bootstrap operation. The advantage of a boot switch compared to a boot  
diode is that a switch has less voltage drop across it. With a switch the bootstrap voltage at HB can be charged to  
~VDD while a boot diode has ~0.7V drop at HB. With the boot switch implementation, the low-side and high-side  
driver outputs can turn on FETs at the V voltage across gate to source. The boot switch r is 3Ω typical which  
DD  
ON  
provides the proper impedance to refresh the boot capacitor in applications up to 500kHz when the proper boot  
capacitor is selected.  
Upon initial enabling of driver, the boot switch is turned on when PWM is logic low for the ISL78424 and  
ISL78444 (LI is logic high and HI is logic low for the ISL78434) and the HS pin is below 2V. After a subsequent  
turning on of the high-side driver, PWM is logic high for the ISL78424 and ISL78444 (LI is logic low and HI is  
logic high for the ISL78434), whenever PWM (HI for the ISL78434) is not logic high and the HS pin is below 2V  
the boot switch is turned on. When the boot switch FET is not turned on, there is a parallel path of the FET body  
diode with a 10Ω series impedance (see Figure 47).  
Figure 47. Bootstrap Switch  
4.13 Bootstrap Capacitor  
To provide the proper gate drive to the high-side FET, the high-side driver bias on this family of drivers is handled  
with a bootstrap capacitor across the HB and HS pins. The boot bias is recharged whenever the HS pin voltage goes  
below 2V and the high-side source driver is not commanded by PWM or HI. The internal boot switch from VDD to  
HB turns on and the bootstrap capacitor is charged by VDD. To maintain operation of the high-side gate drive and  
at the same time be adequately charged during initial boot up and refreshed in operation requires choosing an  
appropriate capacitor value. In general, for most applications a 0.1µF to 0.33µF bootstrap capacitor is a good  
starting point. For more information on choosing the right bootstrap capacitor, see “Bootstrap Capacitor Design” on  
page 28.

4. Product Description  
4.14 EN Pin  
The EN pin when placed in logic 0 state places the driver into a low power shutdown state. In shutdown, the driver  
outputs do not respond to PWM inputs (for ISL78424 and ISL78444) and HI/LI inputs (for ISL78434). The  
low-side driver sink output is active and the high-side driver sink output has a 1MΩ impedance to HS to keep the  
bridge FETs off. The EN pin is used with Renesas analog DC/DC controllers (that is, ISL78220, ISL78225, and  
ISL78226) to provide a state of non-operation before soft-start of the converter. The Renesas controllers have a  
driver enable pin that asserts high when soft-start begins to ensure the half bridge is not switching before the  
controller is properly biased.  
The EN pin has an internal 160kΩ pull-down resistor that disables the driver when the pin is left floating.  
4.15 UVLO Protection - VDD and Boot  
The driver implements UVLO on both the VDD and HB-HS bootstrap supply. When the voltage on VDD and HB  
(referenced to HS) is below the UVLO threshold, UVLO protection is active. For the VDD UVLO, both driver  
sourcing outputs are disabled and the low-side sinking output is active. For boot UVLO, only the high-side driver  
sourcing output is disable and there is a 1MΩ impedance on the HO pin relative to HS. The low-side driver  
continues to respond to driver inputs in Boot UVLO.  
When coming out of VDD UVLO, the high-side sourcing driver does not respond to input commands until the  
low-side sourcing driver is active first. This ensures a boot refresh cycle occurs first to charge the bootstrap  
capacitor to provide proper bias for the high-side driver.

Supply Voltage Operating Range  
The recommended operating voltage range on VDD is 8V to 18V. Renesas recommends placing a 0.1µF high  
frequency decoupling capacitor close to the VDD and VSS pin of the IC. A decoupling capacitor of at least 10  
times the value of the boot capacitor is recommended to be placed in parallel with the 0.1µF at VDD and VSS.

Bootstrap Capacitor Design  
ISL78424, ISL78434, and ISL78444 family has an integrated bootstrap switch that charges the external bootstrap  
capacitor required on the HB to HS pins. To ensure that proper value of the bootstrap capacitance is selected, the  
minimum V of the FET which is being driven needs to take into account, along with the voltage drop across the

bootstrap switch, typically 0.4V.

Gate Drive Limiting Resistors  
Gate limiting resistors are generally used for two purposes. One is to slow down the NMOS FET turn on and turn  
off by limiting drive current to the gate. The ISL78424 and ISL78434 has separate sourcing and sinking pins on the  
driver outputs which allow independent control of the gate drive limiting.  
A second reason for adding gate drive limiting resistors is to control the transient ringing voltage on the MOSFET  
gate-source pins. This occurs when there is excessive trace inductance in the layout of the driver output to the  
MOSFET gate, combined with a low impedance high current driver output producing very fast edges with large  
transient voltages at the FET gate. Gate drive limiting resistors reduce the peak voltage to safe levels to the gate.

5.4  
Adaptive Dead Time Control  
The ISL78424 and ISL78434 use gate sensing adaptive dead time control for turning on a NMOS FET gate with a  
minimum dead time after a valid detection of turning off the other NMOS FET gate in a half bridge configuration.  
The gate sense pins accurately monitor the FET gate-to-source voltage for crossing the internal detection thresholds  
on the driver.  
A low-side gate sense (1.3V typical) and two detectors on the high side (gate sense (1.0V typical to HS) and phase  
sense (0.5V to VSS typical)), determine when the FET gate voltage is sufficiently low enough to turn a FET off  
before allowing the other gate driver to turn on. Some bridge drivers with adaptive dead time control only offer a  
high-side phase sense. The high-side gate sense is necessary for boost converter applications because the HS phase  
node is clamped to the synchronous FET body diode voltage above VOUT and only falls when the low-side FET is  
turned on.  
In Buck Converter applications, the turn off of the high-side control FET causes the HS phase node to fall until  
clamped by a body diode voltage below GND of the low-side FET. The falling edge HS dv/dt is proportional to the  
peak inductor current at high-side FET turn off. A fast dv/dt on HS couples current into the high-side gate sense  
detection circuitry that triggers the HO_H gate sense circuitry, even though the high-side gate sense (HO_H-HS) is  
still above the gate sense threshold. In this situation, the Adaptive Dead Time is determined by the falling edge of  
HS to LO rising. The high-side gate sense detection circuitry is only active on falling edges of HO from PWM or  
HI going low, therefore ringing on rising edges of phase/HS does not cause false detection of the gate sense.  
5.5  
Adjustable Dead Time Control  
When the minimum dead times from the adaptive dead time control is insufficient, the ISL78424 and ISL78444  
provides adjustable dead time control on the RDT pin. A resistor on the RDT pin to AGND adds an additional  
delay in addition to the adaptive dead time delay.  
The recommended range of resistor values is 10kΩ to 100kΩ which provides an additional 40ns to 340ns dead time  
delay in addition to the ADTC. Place the resistor as close as possible to the RDT and AGND pins. If additional  
delay is not needed, short the RDT pin to AGND.

Power Dissipation Calculation

Separate source and sink output pins allow for optimized FET turn on/off times using different value resistors.  
These gate resistors also help to allow calculation of the energy required to charge the gate (C ) of the FETs,  
GATE  
and the energy dissipated in this gate resistor is equal to the energy stored in the capacitor. The energy dissipation  
of the resistor does not depend on the gate resistance, but solely on the gate charge of the transistor.

6. PCB Layout Guidelines  
6. PCB Layout Guidelines  
For best thermal performance, connect the driver EPAD to a low thermal impedance ground plane. Use as many vias as  
possible to connect the top layer PCB thermal land to ground planes on other PCB layers. For best electrical  
performance, connect the VSS and AGND pins together through the EPAD to maintain a low impedance connection  
between the two pins.  
When adjustable dead time is used (ISL78424 and ISL78444 only), connect the resistor to the RDT pin and GND plane  
close to the IC to minimize ground noise from disrupting the timing performance.  
Place the VDD decoupling capacitors and bootstrap capacitors close to the VDD-VSS and HB-HS pins, respectively.  
Use decoupling capacitors to reduce the influence of parasitic inductors. To be effective, these capacitors must also  
have the shortest possible lead lengths. If vias are used, connect several paralleled vias to reduce the inductance of the  
vias.  
(1) Keep power loops as short as possible by paralleling the source and return traces.  
(2) Adding resistance might be necessary to dampen resonating parasitic circuits. In PCB designs with long leads on  
the LO and HO outputs, add series gate resistors on the bridge FETs to dampen the oscillations.  
(3) Large power components (power FETs, electrolytic capacitors, power resistors, etc.) have internal parasitic  
inductance, which cannot be eliminated. This must be accounted for in the PCB layout and circuit design.  
(4) If you simulate your circuits, consider including parasitic components.
