Four delay sub-circuits needed fully balance H-bridge delays, upper delay control lower gate control. Users tailor side high side commutation delay times placing resistor from HDEL pin. Similarly, resistor connected from LDEL controls high side side commutation delay times lower power switches. HDEL resistor controls both upper commutation delays LDEL resistor controls lower commutation delays. Each resistors sets current which inversely proportional created delay. delay added falling edge "off" pulse associated with MOSFET which being commutated off. When delay complete, "on" pulse initiated. This effect "delaying" commanded pulse amount delay, thereby creating dead-time.

Nevertheless, gate driver design nearly eliminates gate driver shoot-through which significantly reduces power dissipation. HDEL/LDEL RESISTANCE DEAD-TIME (ns) Application Considerations successfully apply HIP4080A designer should address following concerns: General Bias Supply Design Issues Upper Bias Supply Circuit Design Bootstrap Bias Supply Circuit Design General Bias Supply Design Issues bias supply design simple. designer must first establish desired gate voltage turning power switches. most power MOSFETs, increasing gatesource voltage beyond yields little reduction switch drain-source voltage drop. FIGURE MINIMUM DEAD-TIME RESISTANCE Level-Translation lower power MOSFET gate drive signals from propagation delay control circuits amplification circuits which described more detail under section "Driver Circuits". upper power MOSFET gate drive signals directed first Level-Translation circuits before going upper power MOSFET "Driver Circuits". Level-Translation circuit communicate "on" "off" pulses from Propagation Delay sub-circuit upper logic gate drive sub-circuits which "float" potential Application Note 9404 Overcharging power switch's gate-source capacitance also delays turn-off, increases MOSFET switching losses increases energy switched gate driver HIP4080A, which increases dissipation within HIP4080A. Overcharging MOSFET gate-source capacitance also lead "shoot-through" where both upper lower MOSFETs single bridge find themselves simultaneously, thereby shorting high voltage supply. Values close optimum supplying VCC, although HIP4080A will operate 15V. Lower Bias Supply Design Since most applications identical MOSFETs both upper lower power switches, bias supply requirements with respect driving MOSFET gates will also identical. case switching frequencies driving upper lower MOSFETs differ, sets calculations must done; upper switches lower switches. bias current budget upper lower switches will each calculation. Always keep mind that lower bias supply must supply current upper gate drive logic circuits well lower gate drive circuits logic circuits. This fact that side bias supplies (VCC /VDD) charge bootstrap capacitors charge pumps, which maintain voltage across upper power switch's gate-source terminals. Good layout practice capacitor bypassing technique avoids transient voltage dips bias power supply HIP4080A. Always place (equivalent series resistance) ceramic capacitor adjacent connected between bias terminals common terminal, value range 0.22µF 0.5µF usually sufficient. Minimize effects Miller feedback keeping source gate return leads from MOSFETs HIP4080A short. This also reduces ringing, minimizing length inductance these connections. Another minimize inductance gate charge/discharge path, addition minimizing path length, outbound gate lead directly "over" source return lead. Sometimes source return leads made into small "ground plane" back side board making possible outbound gate lead top" board. This minimizes "enclosed area" loop, thus minimizing inductance this loop. also adds some capacitance between gate source which shunts some Miller feedback effect. Upper Bias Supply Circuit Design Before discussing bootstrap circuit design detail, worth mentioning that possible operate HIP4080A without bootstrap circuit altogether. Even bootstrap capacitor, which functions supply reservoir charge rapidly turning MOSFETs optional some cases. situations where very slow turn-on MOSFETs tolerable, consider omitting some bootstrap components. Applications such driving relays lamp loads, where MOSFETs switched infrequently switching losses low, provide opportunities boot strapless operation. Generally, loads with resistance inductance possible candidates. Operating HIP4080A without bootstrap diode and/or capacitor will severely slow gate turn-on. Without bootstrap capacitor, gate current only comes from internal charge pump. peak charge pump current only about 30µA 50µA. gate voltage waveform, when operating without bootstrap capacitor, will appear similar dotted line shown Figure bootstrap capacitor value approximately equal equivalent MOSFET gate capacitance used, upper bias supply (labeled "bootstrap voltage" Figure will drop approximately half when gate turned larger bootstrap capacitance used, smaller instantaneous drop bootstrap supply voltage when upper MOSFET turned GATE INITIATION SIGNAL BOOT STRAP VOLTAGE (XHB XHS) GATE VOLTAGE (XHO XHS) FIGURE Although recommended, employ bootstrap capacitor without bootstrap diode. this case charge pump used charge capacitor whose value should much larger than equivalent gate-source capacitance driven MOSFET. value bootstrap capacitance about times greater than equivalent MOSFET gatesource capacitance usually sufficient. Provided that sufficient time elapses before turning MOSFET again, bootstrap capacitor will have chance recharge voltage value that bootstrap capacitor prior turning MOSFET. Assuming series resistance bootstrap change path, output frequency should allow sufficient refresh time. bootstrap capacitor times larger than equivalent gate-source capacitance driven MOSFET prevents drop bootstrap supply voltage from exceeding bias supply voltage during turn-on MOSFET. When operating without bootstrap diode time required replenish charge bootstrap capacitor will same time would take charge equivalent gate capacitance from This because charge lost bootstrap capacitor exactly equal charge transferred gate capacitance during turn-on. Note that very first time that bootstrap capacitor charged takes Application Note 9404 much longer since capacitor must charged from With bootstrap diode, initial charging bootstrap supply almost instantaneous, since charge required comes from low-side bias supply. Therefore, before upper MOSFETs initially gated, time must allowed upper bootstrap supply reach full voltage. Without bootstrap diode, this initial "charge" time excessive. switching cycle assumed begin when upper MOSFET gated then bootstrap capacitor will undergo charge withdrawal when source driver connects equivalent gate-source capacitance MOSFET. After this initial "dump" charge, quiescent current drain experienced bootstrap supply infinitesimal. fact, quiescent supply current more than offset charge pump current. charge pump continuously supplies current bootstrap supply eventually would charge bootstrap capacitor MOSFET gate capacitance back initial value prior beginning switching cycle. problem that "eventually" fast enough when switching frequency greater than hundred Bootstrap Bias Supply Circuit Design high frequency applications bootstrap components, both diodes capacitors, required. Therefore, must familiar with bootstrap capacitor sizing proper choice bootstrap diode. Just after switch cycle begins charge transfer from bootstrap capacitor gate capacitance complete, voltage bootstrap capacitor lowest that will ever during switch cycle. charge lost bootstrap capacitor will very nearly equal charge transferred equivalent gate-source capacitance MOSFET shown Equation (EQ.2) soon upper MOSFET turned off, voltage phase terminal (the source terminal upper MOSFET) begins descent toward negative rail high voltage bus. When phase terminal voltage becomes less than voltage, refreshing (charging) bootstrap capacitor begins. long phase voltage below refreshing continues until bootstrap voltages equal. off-time upper MOSFET dependent gate control input signals, never shorter than dead-time delay setting, which resistors connecting HDEL LDEL VSS. bootstrap capacitor fully charged time upper MOSFET turns again, incomplete refreshing occurs. designer must insure that dead-time setting consistent with size bootstrap capacitor order guarantee complete refreshing.

Therefore with bias supply, static power dissipation slightly over 100mW. dynamic losses associated with switching power MOSFETs much more significant divided into following categories: Voltage Gate Drive (charge transfer) High Voltage Level-shifter (V-I) Losses High Voltage Level-shifter (charge transfer) where: Bootstrap diode reverse leakage current IQBS Upper supply quiescent current Bootstrap diode reverse recovered charge Turn-on gate charge transferred fPWM operating frequency VBS1 Bootstrap capacitor voltage just after refresh VBS2 Bootstrap capacitor voltage just after upper turn Bootstrap capacitance From practical standpoint, bootstrap diode reverse leakage upper supply quiescent current negligible, particularly since HIP4080A's internal charge pump continuously sources minimum about 30µA. This current more than offsets leakage supply current components, which fixed function switching frequency. higher switching frequency, lower charge effect contributed these components their effect bootstrap capacitor sizing negligible, shown Equation Supply current bootstrap diode recovery charge component increases with switching frequency generally negligible. Hence need fast recovery diode.
