• Circuit breaker General Description The MIC5021 high-side MOSFET driver is designed to oper- ate at frequencies up to 100kHz (5kHz PWM for 2% to 100% duty cycle) and is an ideal choice for high speed applications such as motor control, SMPS (switch mode power supplies), and applications using IGBTs. The MIC5021 can also operate as a circuit breaker with or without automatic retry. A rising or falling edge on the input results in a current source pulse or sink pulse on the gate output. This output current pulse can turn on a 2000pF MOSFET in approximately 550ns. The MIC5021 then supplies a limited current (< 2mA), if necessary, to maintain the output state. An overcurrent comparator with a trip voltage of 50mV makes the MIC5021 ideal for use with a current sensing MOSFET. An external low value resistor may be used instead of a sensing MOSFET for more precise overcurrent control. An optional external capacitor placed from the C T pin to ground may be used to control the current shutdown duty cycle (dead time) from 20% to < 1%. A duty cycle from 20% to about 75% is possible with an optional pull-up resistor from CT to VDD. The MIC5021 is available in 8-pin SOIC and plastic DIP packages. Other members of the MIC502x family include the MIC5020 low-side driver and the MIC5022 half-bridge driver with a cross-conduction interlock.

MIC5021 Micrel, Inc. Functional Description Refer to the MIC5021 block diagram. Input A signal greater than 1.4V (nominal) applied to the MIC5021 INPUT causes gate enhancement on an external MOSFET turning the MOSFET on. An internal pull-down resistor insures that an open INPUT remains low, keeping the external MOSFET turned off. Gate Output Rapid rise and fall times on the GATE output are possible because each input state change triggers a one-shot which activates a high-value current sink (10I 2) for a short time. This draws a high current though a current mirror circuit causing the output transistors to quickly charge or discharge the external MOSFET’s gate. A second current sink continuously draws the lower value of current used to maintain the gate voltage for the selected state. An internal charge pump utilizes an external “boost” capacitor connected between VBOOST and the source of the external MOSFET. (Refer to typical application.) The boost capacitor stores charge when the MOSFET is off. As the MOSFET turns on, its source to ground voltage increases and is added to the voltage across the capacitor, raising the V BOOST pin voltage. The boost capacitor charge is directed through the GATE pin to quickly charge the MOSFET’s gate to 16V maximum above VDD. The internal charge pump maintains the gate voltage. An internal zener diode protects the external MOSFET by limiting the gate to source voltage. Sense Inputs The MIC5021’s 50mV (nominal) trip voltage is created by internal current sources that force approximately 5µA out of SENSE + and approximately 15µA (at trip) out of SENSE –. When SENSE – is 50mV or more below SENSE +, SENSE – steals base current from an internal drive transistor shutting off the external MOSFET. Overcurrent Limiting Current source I1 charges CINT upon power up. An optional external capacitor connected to CT is kept discharged through a MOSFET Q1. A fault condition (> 50mV from SENSE + to SENSE –) causes the overcurrent comparator to enable current sink 2I1 which overcomes current source I 1 to discharge C INT in a short time. When CINT is discharged, the INPUT is disabled, which turns off the gate output, and C INT and CT are ready to be charged. When the gate output turns the MOSFET off, the overcurrent signal is removed from the sense inputs which deactivates current sink 2I1. This allows CINT and the optional capacitor connected to CT to recharge. A Schmitt trigger delays the retry while the capacitor(s) recharge. Retry delay is increased by connecting a capacitor to CT (optional). The retry cycle will continue until the fault is removed or the input is changed to TTL low. If C T is connected to ground, the circuit will not retry upon a Supply Voltage The MIC5021’s supply input (V DD) is rated up to 36V. The supply voltage must be equal to or greater than the voltage applied to the drain of the external N-channel MOSFET. A 16V minimum supply is recommended to produce continu- ous on-state, gate drive voltage for standard MOSFETs (10V nominal gate enhancement). When the driver is powered from a 12V to 16V supply, a logic-level MOSFET is recommended (5V nominal gate enhancement). PWM operation may produce satisfactory gate enhancement at lower supply voltages. This occurs when fast switching repetition makes the boost capacitor a more significant volt age supply than the internal charge pump. Applications Information The MIC5021 MOSFET driver is intended for high-side switching applications where overcurrent limiting and high speed are required. The MIC5021 can control MOSFETs that switch voltages up to 36V. High-Side Switch Circuit Advantages High-side switching allows more of the load related com ponents and wiring to remain near ground potential when compared to low-side switching. This reduces the chances of short-to-ground accidents or failures. Speed Advantage The MIC5021 is about two orders of magnitude faster than the low cost MIC5014 making it suitable for high-frequency high-efficiency circuit operation in PWM (pulse width modu lation) designs used for motor control, SMPS (switch mode power supply) and heating element control. Switched loads (on/off) benefit from the MIC5021’s fast switching times by allowing use of MOSFETs with smaller safe operating areas. (Larger MOSFETs are often required when using slower drivers.)
