L6391
Description
The L6391 is a high-voltage device manufactured
with the BCD “OFF-LINE” technology. It is a single
chip half-bridge gate driver for N-channel power
MOSFET or IGBT.
The high side (floating) section is designed to
stand a voltage rail up to 600 V. The logic inputs
are CMOS/TTL compatible down to 3.3 V for easy
interfacing microcontroller/DSP.
An integrated comparator is available for
protections against overcurrent, overtemperature,
etc.
Applications
■ Motor driver for home appliances, factory
automation, industrial drives and fans.
■ HID ballasts, power supply units.

1. The circuit guarantees less than 1 V on the LVG and HVG pins (@ Isink = 10 mA), with VCC > 3 V. This
allows omitting the “bleeder” resistor connected between the gate and the source of the external MOSFET
normally used to hold the pin low; the gate driver assures low impedance also in SD condition.
