Description
The IRS20124S is a high voltage, high speed power MOSFET driver with internal dead-time and shutdown
functions specially designed for Class D audio amplifier applications.
The internal dead time generation block provides accurate gate switch timing and enables tight dead-time
settings for better THD performances.
In order to maximize other audio performance characteristics, all switching times are designed for immunity
from external disturbances such as VCC perturbation and incoming switching noise on the DT pin. Logic
inputs are compatible with LSTTL output or standard CMOS down to 3.0V without speed degradation. The
output drivers feature high current buffers capable of sourcing 1.0A and sinking 1.2A. Internal delays are
optimized to achieve minimal dead-time variations. Proprietary HVIC and latch immune CMOS technologies
guarantee operation down to Vs= –4V, providing outstanding capabilities of latch and surge immunities with
rugged monolithic construction.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute maximum ratings indicate sustained limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. All voltage parameters
are absolute voltages referenced to COM. All currents are defined positive into any lead. The thermal resistance and power
dissipation ratings are measured under board mounted and still air conditions.

Functional description
Programmable Dead-time
The IRS20124 has an internal dead-time generation
block to reduce the number of external components
in the output stage of a Class D audio amplifier.
Selectable dead-time through the DT/SD pin voltage is an easy and reliable function, which requires only two external resistors. The dead-time
generation block is also designed to provide a
constant dead-time interval, independent of Vcc
fluctuations. Since the timings are critical to the
audio performance of a Class D audio amplifier,
the unique internal dead-time generation block is
designed to be immune to noise on the DT/SD
pin and the Vcc pin. Noise-free programmable
dead-time function is available by selecting deadtime from four preset values, which are optimized
and compensated.
How to Determine Optimal Dead-time
Please note that the effective dead-time in an actual
application differs from the dead-time specified in
this datasheet due to finite fall time, tf. The deadtime value in this datasheet is defined as the time
period from the starting point of turn-off on one
side of the switching stage to the starting point of
turn-on on the other side as shown in Fig.5. The
fall time of MOSFET gate voltage must be subtracted from the dead-time value in the datasheet
to determine the effective dead time of a Class D
audio amplifier.

Figure 6. Effective Dead-time
A longer dead time period is required for a MOSFET
with a larger gate charge value because of the
longer tf. A shorter effective dead-time setting is
always beneficial to achieve better linearity in the
Class D switching stage. However, the likelihood
of shoot-through current increases with narrower
dead-time settings in mass production. Negative
values of effective dead-time may cause excessive
heat dissipation in the MOSFETs, potentially
leading to their serious damage. To calculate the
optimal dead-time in a given application, the fall
time tf for both output voltages, HO and LO, in the
actual circuit needs to be measured. In addition,
the effective dead-time can also vary with
temperature and device parameter variations.
Therefore, a minimum effective dead-time of 10nS
is recommended to avoid shoot-through current
over the range of operating temperatures and
supply voltages.

IRS20124S(PbF)
DT/SD pin
DT/SD pin provides two functions: 1) setting deadtime and 2) shutdown. The IRS20124 determines
its operation mode based on the voltage applied
to the DT/SD pin. An internal comparator
translates which mode is being used by comparing
internal reference voltages. Threshold voltages for
each mode are set internally by a resistive voltage
divider off Vcc, negating the need of using a precise
absolute voltage to set the mode.
The relationship between the operation mode and
the voltage at DT/SD pin is illustrated in the Fig.7.

Shutdown
Since IRS20124 has internal dead-time generation, independent inputs for HO and LO are no
longer provided. Shutdown mode is the only way
to turn off both MOSFETs simultaneously to protect them from over current conditions. If the DT/
SD pin detects an input voltage below the threshold, V
the IRS20124 will output 0V at both HO
DT4,
and LO outputs, forcing the switching output node
to go into a high impedance state.
Over Current Sensing
DT
In order to protect the power MOSFET, IRS20124
has a feature to detect over current conditions,
which can occur when speaker wires are shorted
together. The over current shutdown feature can
be configured by combining the current sensing
function with the shutdown mode via the DT/SD pin.
Load Current Direction in Class D Audio
Application
In a Class D audio amplifier, the direction of the
load current alternates according to the audio input signal. An over current condition can therefore
happen during either a positive current cycle or a
negative current cycle. Fig.9 shows the rela-

tionship between output current direction and
the current in the low side MOSFET. It should be
noted that each MOSFET carries a part of the
load current in an audio cycle. Bi-directional current sensing offers over current detection capabilities in both cases by monitoring only the low
side MOSFET.

Bi-directional Current Sensing
IRS20124 has an over current detection function
utilizing R
of the low side switch as a current
DS(ON)
sensing shunt resistor. Due to the proprietary HVIC
process, the IRS20124 is able to sense negative
as well as positive current flow, enabling bi-directional load current sensing without the need for
any additional external passive components.

IRS20124 measures the current during the period
when the low side MOSFET is turned on. Fig.10
illustrates how an excessive voltage at Vs node
detects an over current condition. Under normal
operating conditions, Vs voltage for the low side
switch is well within the trip threshold boundaries,

level, V
. In Fig.9(c) with opposite current direc-

tion, the amplifier sinks too much current from the
load, positioning Vs well above trip level, V
SOC+.
Once the voltage in Vs exceeds the preset threshold, the OC pin pulls down to COM to detect an
over current condition.
Since the switching waveform usually contains
over/under shoot and associated oscillatory artifacts on their transient edges, a 200ns blanking
interval is inserted in the Vs voltage sensing block
at the instant the low side switch is engaged.
Because of this blanking interval, the OC function
will be unable to detect over current conditions if
the low side ON duration less than 200ns.

IRS20124S(PbF)
OC Output Signal
The OC pin is a 20V open drain output. The OC
pin is pulled down to ground when an over current
condition is detected. A single external pull-up
resistor can be shared by multiple IRS20124 OC
pins to form the ORing logic. In order for a microprocessor to read the OC signal, this information
is buffered with a mono stable multi vibrator to
ensure 100ns minimum pulse width.
Because of unpredictable logic status of the OC
pin, the OC signal should be ignored during power
up/down.
Limitation from Body Diode in MOSFET
When a Class D stage outputs a positive current,
flowing from the Class D amp to the load, the body
diode of the MOSFET will turn on when the Drain
to Source voltage of the MOSFET become larger
than the diode forward drop voltage. In such a
case, the sensing voltage at the Vs pin of the
IRS20124 is clamped by the body diode. This
means that the effective Rds(on) is now much
lower than expected from Rds(on) of the MOSFET,
and the Vs node my not able to reach the threshold to turn the OC output on before the MOSFET
fails. Therefore, the region where body diode
clamping takes a place should be avoided when
setting V
