MP18831 2.8-5.5V High-Side/Low-Side Half-Bridge Gate Driver SOIC

MP18831 2.8-5.5V High-Side/Low-Side Half-Bridge Gate Driver SOIC

The MP18831 is an isolated, half-bridge gate driver solution with up to 4A of source and sink peak current capability.

Key Specifications

Features

• Up to 30V Output Drive Supply with Several Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) Options
• 4A Source, 4A Sink Peak Current Output
• 50ns Typical Propagation Delay

Typical Application Circuit

Applications

• Half/Full-Bridge Converters
• Isolated DC/DC Converters
• Offline Isolated AC/DC Converters

Design Notes

• The isolation rating is only valid if the PCB keeps the required creepage and clearance across the barrier — the package alone does not guarantee it.
• Common-mode transient immunity matters more than DC withstand in motor and gate-drive applications; check the dV/dt figure.
• Decouple both sides independently, with the capacitor returned to that side's ground.
• Propagation delay and pulse-width distortion set the timing margin in a closed loop.
