LM5108DRCT

Gate Driver Overview

The LM5108DRCT is a robust half-bridge gate driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for high-voltage power applications. It features a VSON-10 surface-mount package and supports dual-channel operation with independent high-side and low-side outputs. The device delivers a peak output current of 2.6 A, enabling efficient switching of external MOSFETs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 5.5 V to 16 V and withstands bus voltages up to 110 V. Key timing parameters include a rise time of 11 ns and a fall time of 8 ns. The component functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C, utilizing CMOS logic inputs.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• Integrated interlock input prevents simultaneous conduction of high-side and low-side switches
• High-voltage tolerance at the high-side pin handles negative transients down to -5 V
• CMOS-compatible input logic ensures compatibility with standard control interfaces

Gate Driver Applications

• Isolated DC-DC converter topologies
• Half-bridge inverter circuits
• Motor drive systems requiring high-side switching

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DRCT corresponds to the reel or cut tape packaging configuration as defined by Texas Instruments. Confirm that the ordering part number matches the required package type and thermal characteristics. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and check for any specific handling requirements related to moisture sensitivity levels before integration into production workflows.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring a compact solution for driving high-voltage half-bridge configurations. The integrated interlock feature simplifies protection logic compared to discrete solutions. Consider the 2.6 A peak current capability against the gate charge requirements of the target MOSFETs to ensure adequate switching speed without excessive drive losses.

Gate Driver Part Context
