National Semiconductor LM5104 High Voltage Half-Bridge Gate Driver Handbook

The LM5104 is a high voltage half-bridge gate driver designed to drive both the high side and low side N-Channel MOSFETs in a synchronous buck configuration. It features adaptive transition timing to prevent shoot-through issues. Additionally, it allows for an additional delay time to be added using an external setting resistor. The device also includes an integrated high voltage diode for charging the high side gate drive bootstrap capacitor. It operates at high speed with low power consumption and provides clean level transitions. The LM5104 is suitable for applications such as current fed push-pull power converters, high voltage buck regulators, and active clamp functions.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum supply voltage for the LM5104?

The driver can operate with a bootstrap supply voltage up to 118 V DC and a high‑side supply voltage up to 100 V.

How is dead‑time programmed on the LM5104?

Dead‑time is set by an external resistor connected to the RT pin; the resistor value determines the delay.

Which package types are offered for the LM5104?

The device is offered in SOIC‑8 and LLP‑10 (4 mm × 4 mm) packages.
