The L6384E is an high-voltage device,
manufactured with the BCD"OFF-LINE"
technology. It has an Half - Bridge Driver structure
that enables to drive N-channel Power MOS or
IGBT. The High Side (Floating) Section is enabled
to work with voltage Rail up to 600V. The Logic
Inputs are CMOS/TTL compatible for ease of
interfacing with controlling devices. Matched
delays between Low and High Side Section
simplify high frequency operation. Dead time
setting can be readily accomplished by means of
an external resistor.

High impedance pin with two functionalities. When pulled lower than V
[Typ. 0.5V] the device is shut down. A voltage higher than Vdt sets the
dead time between high side gate driver and low side gate driver. The
dead time value can be set forcing a certain voltage level on the pin or
connecting a resistor between pin 3 and ground. Care must be taken to

avoid below threshold spikes on pin 3 that can cause undesired shut down
of the IC. For this reason the connection of the components between pin 3
and ground has to be as short as possible. This pin can not be left floating
for the same reason. The pin has not be pulled through a low impedance

A bootstrap circuitry is needed to supply the high voltage section. This function is normally
accomplished by a high voltage fast recovery diode (Figure 4 a). In the L6384E a patented
integrated structure replaces the external diode. It is realized by a high voltage DMOS,
driven synchronously with the low side driver (LVG), with in series a diode, as shown in
Figure 4 b. An internal charge pump (Figure 4 b) provides the DMOS driving voltage. The
diode connected in series to the DMOS has been added to avoid undesirable turn on of it.
