PIN TYPE (1) DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
DIS 5 I Disables both driver outputs if asserted high, enables if set low. It is recommended to tie this pin to ground if not used to achieve better noise immunity. Bypass using a ≈ 1-nF low ESR/ESL capacitor close to DIS pin when connecting to a µC with distance.
DT 6 I DT pin configuration:
  • Tying DT to VCCI disables the DT feature and allows the outputs to overlap.
  • Placing a resistor (RDT) between DT and GND adjusts dead time according to the equation: DT (in ns) = 10 × RDT (in kΩ). TI recommends bypassing this pin with a ≤1nF ceramic capacitor close to DT pin to achieve better noise immunity. It is not recommended to leave DT floating.
GND 4 P Primary-side ground reference. All signals in the primary side are referenced to this ground.
INA 1 I Input signal for A channel. INA input has a TTL/CMOS compatible input threshold. This pin is pulled low internally if left open. It is recommended to tie this pin to ground if not used to achieve better noise immunity.
INB 2 I Input signal for B channel. INB input has a TTL/CMOS compatible input threshold. This pin is pulled low internally if left open. It is recommended to tie this pin to ground if not used to achieve better noise immunity.
NC 7 — No internal connection. This pin can be left floating, tied to VCCI, or tied to GND.
NC 12 — No internal connection. Recommended to leave floating for maximum creepage from driver A to driver B as needed.
 For the SOIC-14 DWK Package, pin 12 and pin 13 are removed.
13
OUTA 15 O Output of driver A. Connect to the gate of the A channel FET or IGBT.
OUTB 10 O Output of driver B. Connect to the gate of the B channel FET or IGBT.
VCCI 3 P Primary-side supply voltage. Locally decoupled to GND using a low ESR/ESL capacitor located as close to the device as possible.
VCCI 8 P This pin is internally shorted to pin 3.
Preference should be given to bypassing pin 3-4 instead of pins 8-4.
VDDA 16 P Secondary-side power for driver A. Locally decoupled to VSSA using a low ESR/ESL capacitor located as close to the device as possible.
VDDB 11 P Secondary-side power for driver B. Locally decoupled to VSSB using a low ESR/ESL capacitor located as close to the device as possible.
VSSA 14 P Ground for secondary-side driver A. Ground reference for secondary side A channel.
VSSB 9 P Ground for secondary-side driver B. Ground reference for secondary side B channel.
