The LM5112 device MOSFET gate driver provides high peak gate drive current in the tiny 6-pin WSON package (SOT-23 equivalent footprint) or an 8-pin exposed-pad MSOP package with improved power dissipation required for high frequency operation. The compound output driver stage includes MOS and bipolar transistors operating in parallel that together sink more than 7 A peak from capacitive loads. Combining the unique characteristics of MOS and bipolar devices reduces drive current variation with voltage and temperature. Undervoltage lockout protection is provided to prevent damage to the MOSFET due to insufficient gate turnon voltage. The LM5112 device provides both inverting and non-inverting inputs to satisfy requirements for inverting and non-inverting gate drive with a single device type.

Exposed Pad | — | — | — | Exposed pad, underside of package: Internally bonded to the die substrate. Connect to VEE ground pin for low thermal impedance. | |
IN | 1 | 4 | I | Non-inverting input pin: TTL compatible thresholds. Pull up to VCC when not used. | |
INB | 6 | 2 | I | Inverting input pin: TTL compatible thresholds. Connect to IN_REF when not used. | |
IN_REF | 5 | 1 | — | Ground reference for control inputs: Connect to power ground (VEE) for standard positive only output voltage swing. Connect to system logic ground when VEE is connected to a negative gate drive supply. | |
N/C | — | 5, 8 | — | Not internally connected | |
OUT | 4 | 7 | O | Gate drive output: Capable of sourcing 3 A and sinking 7 A. Voltage swing of this output is from VEE to VCC. | |
VCC | 3 | 6 | I | Positive supply voltage input: Locally decouple to VEE. The decoupling capacitor must be placed close to the chip. | |
VEE | 2 | 3 | — | Power ground for driver outputs: Connect to either power ground or a negative gate drive supply for positive or negative voltage swing. |
