(R) AN994 APPLICATION NOTE L6384, L6385, L6386 & L6387 APPLICATION GUIDE by F. Sandrini, U. Moriconi The ST L638X is a versatile high voltage gate driver family. Realised in BCD Off-line technology, these devices are able to operate with high voltage rails up to 600V. The Gate Drivers provide all the functions and current capability necessary for high side and low side Power MOS and IGBT. L6384-5-6-7 are High Voltage Drivers for High and Low Side. These devices can be used in all the applications where high voltage shifted control is necessary. These devices have a fairly high driver current capability and they are also provided with an internal patented circuitry which replaces the external bootstrap diode. This feature is achieved by means of a high voltage DMOS, synchronously driven with the low side gate driver. The L6384 (Internal diagram in fig. 1) is a half bridge driver with externally adjustable dead-time and shut down function. To disable the driver, the control pin (DT/SD at pin3) must be pulled down below 0.5V. The dead time can be set from 0.5s to 2.7s by a simple resistor between pin3 and ground. Available in Minidip and SO8 packages, this driver can be used in motor controls, resonant converters and lighting applications. In fig. 2 the schematic diagram of the evaluation circuit and the layout of the test PCB are shown. L6384 PIN DESCRIPTION N. 1 2 3 Name IN(*) VCC DT/SD Type I I I Function Logic Input: it is in phase with HVG and in opposition of phase with LVG. It is compatible to Vcc voltage. Supply input voltage: there is an internal clamp [Typ. 15.6V] There is also an UVLO feature ( Typ. Vccth1 = 12V, Vccth2 = 10V). High impedence pin with two functionalities. When pulled to a voltage lower than Vdt [Typ.0.5V] the device is shut down. A voltage higher than Vdt sets the dead time between high side and low side gate driver. The dead time value can be set forcing a certain voltage level on the pin or connecting a resistor between pin 3 and ground. Care must be taken to avoid spikes on pin 3 that can cause undesired shut down of the IC. For this reason the connection of the components between pin 3 and ground has to be as short as possible. This pin can not be let floating for the same reason. The pin has not to be pulled through a low impedence to Vcc, because of the drop on the corrent source that feeds Rdt. The operative range is: V dt ... 270K Idt, that allows a dt range of 0.4 - 3.1s. Ground O Low side driver output: the output stage can deliver 400mA source and 650mA sink [Typ. Values]. The circuit guarantees 0.3V max on the pin (@Isink = 10mA) with Vcc > 3V and lower than the turn on threshold. This allows to omit the bleeder resistor connected between the gate and the the source of the external mosfet normally used to hold the pin low; the gate driver ensures low impedence also in SD conditions. Upper driver floating reference: layout care has to be taken to avoid undervoltage spikes on this pin 4 5 GND LVG 6 Vout O June 2002 1/17 AN994 APPLICATION NOTE L6384 PIN DESCRIPTION (continued) N. 7 Name HVG Type O Function High side driver output:the output stage can deliver 400mA source and 650mA sink [Typ. Values]. The circuit guarantees 0.3V max between this pin and Vout (@I sink = 10mA) with Vcc > 3V and lower than the turn on threshold. This allows to omit the bleeder resistor connected between the gate and the the source of the external mosfet normally used to hold the pin low; the gate driver ensures low impedence also in SD conditions. Bootstrap Supply Voltage: it is the upper driver floating supply. The bootstrap capacitor connected between this pin and pin 6 can be fed by an internal structure named "bootstrap driver" (a patented structure). This structure can replace the external bootstrap diode. 8 Vboot (*) The pull-down internal resistor is typically some hundreds Kohm. Figure 1. L6384 Internal Block Diagram. H.V.

In fact, it is possible to control two separate inputs, thus the outputs can be switched independently. This device is provided with undervoltage detection in both low voltage side and high voltage bootstrapped supply. Delivered in 8pin packages, this driver has been especially designed for power supplies and motion control application.

This function is normally accomplished by a high voltage fast recovery diode (fig. 8a). In the L6384-5-6-7 a patented integrated structure replaces the external diode. It is realized by a high voltage DMOS, driven synchronously with the low side driver (LVG), with in series a diode, as shown in fig. 8b An internal charge pump (fig. 8b) provides the DMOS driving voltage . The diode connected in series to the DMOS has been added to avoid undesirable turn on of it. CBOOT selection and charging: To choose the proper CBOOT value the external MOS can be seen as an equivalent capacitor. This capacitor CEXT is related to the MOS total gate charge : CEXT = Qgate Vgate The ratio between the capacitors CEXT and CBOOT is proportional to the cyclical voltage loss . It has to be: CBOOT>>>CEXT e.g.: if Qgate is 30nC and Vgate is 10V, CEXT is 3nF. With CBOOT = 100nF the drop would be 300mV. If HVG has to be supplied for a long time, the CBOOT selection has to take into account also the leakage losses. e.g.: HVG steady state consumption is lower than 200A (e.g. L6385 and L6386 (L6384 100A)), so if HVG T ON is 5ms,CBOOT has to supply 1C to CEXT. This charge on a 1F capacitor means a voltage drop of 1V. The internal bootstrap driver gives great advantages: the external fast recovery diode can be avoided (it usually has great leakage current). This structure can work only if VOUT is close to GND (or lower) and in the meanwhile the LVG is on. The charging time (Tcharge ) of the CBOOT is the time in which both conditions are fulfilled and it has to be long enough to charge the capacitor. The bootstrap driver introduces a voltage drop due to the DMOS RDSON (typical L6384, L6385 and L6386 value: 125 Ohm). At low frequency this drop can be neglected. Anyway increasing the frequency it must be taken into account. The following equation is useful to compute the drop on the bootstrap DMOS: Vdrop = Icharge Rdson Vdrop = Qgate Rdson Tcharge where Qgate is the gate charge of the external power MOS, Rdson is the on resistance of the bootstrap DMOS, and Tcharge is the charging time of the bootstrap capacitor. For example: using a power MOS with a total gate charge of 30nC the drop on the bootstrap DMOS is about 1V, if the Tcharge is 6s. In fact: Vdrop = 30nC 125 0.8V 5s Vdrop has to be considered when the voltage drop on CBOOT is calculated: if this drop is too high, or the circuit topology doesn't allow a sufficient charging time (e.g. Fig. 13,14,15), an external diode can be used, and this is the reason for which the external diode D1 is dotted in fig 2,4 and 6. Working at very low frequencies the high side driver is very long. So CBOOT voltage can drop because of of HVG steady state consumption. To avoid extremely large capacitor (> 1-2F) an external charge pump can be added (see fig 9 as example).The diodes used are bot high voltage ones: they are signal diodes because the high voltage drops on C1 and C2. It is mandatory the diodes to have a low parasitic capacitance, because C1 and C2 have to be greater than diodes capacitance. The oscillator has to work in order to balance the high voltage side consumption, and the minimum frequency is fixed by C1 10/17 AN994 APPLICATION NOTE and C2 values (with C1,2 33pF f>250-300KHz). Moreover the oscillator has to be able to sustain the dV/dt of the OUT pin. Figure 8. Bootstrap Driver DBOOT VS VBOOT H.V. HVG VOUT TO LOAD LVG CBOOT VS VBOOT H.V.
