DESCRIPTION
A single input pin on the LT1158 synchronously controls
two N-channel power MOSFETs in a totem pole configura-
tion. Unique adaptive protection against shoot-through
currents eliminates all matching requirements for the two
MOSFETs. This greatly eases the design of high efficiency
motor control and switching regulator systems.
A continuous current limit loop in the LT1158 regulates
short-circuit current in the top power MOSFET. Higher
start-up currents are allowed as long as the MOSFET V
DS
does not exceed 1.2V. By returning the fault output to the
enable input, the LT1158 will automatically shut down in
the event of a fault and retry when an internal pull-up
current has recharged the enable capacitor.
An on-chip charge pump is switched in when needed to
turn on the top N-channel MOSFET continuously. Special
circuitry ensures that the top side gate drive is safely
maintained in the transition between PWM and DC opera-
tion. The gate-to-source voltages are internally limited to
14.5V when operating at higher supply voltages.

Note 2:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See typical performance
characteristics and applications information.
Note 3:
Gate rise times are measured from 2V to 10V, delay times are
measured from the input transition to when the gate voltage has decreased
to 10V, and fall times are measured from 10V to 2V.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE (V)
PI FU CTIO S
Pin 1 (Boost Drive):
Recharges and clamps the bootstrap
capacitor to 14.5V higher than pin 13 via an external diode.
Pin 2 (V
+
):
Main supply pin; must be closely decoupled to
the ground pin 7.
Pin 3 (Bias):
Decouple point for the internal 2.6V bias
generator.
Pin 3 cannot have any external DC loading.
Pin 4 (Enable):
When left open, the LT1158 operates
normally. Pulling pin 4 low holds both MOSFETs off
regardless of the input state.
Pin 5 (Fault):
Open collector NPN output which turns on
when V12 – V11 exceeds the fault conduction threshold.
Pin 6 (Input):
Taking pin 6 high turns the top MOSFET on
and bottom MOSFET off; pin 6 low reverses these states.
An input latch captures each low state, ignoring an ensu-
ing high until pin 13 has gone below 2.6V.
Pin 8 (Bottom Gate Feedback):
Must connect directly to
the bottom power MOSFET gate. The top MOSFET turn-on
is inhibited until pin 8 has discharged to 1.5V. A hold-on
current source also feeds the bottom gate via pin 8.
Pin 9 (Bottom Gate Drive):
The high current drive point
for the bottom MOSFET. When a gate resistor is used, it is
inserted between pin 9 and the gate of the MOSFET.
Pin 10 (V
+
):
Bottom side driver supply; must be con-
nected to the same supply as pin 2.
Pin 11 (Sense Negative):
The floating reference for the
current limit comparator. Connects to the low side of a
current shunt or Kelvin lead of a current-sensing MOSFET.
When pin 11 is within 1.2V of V
+
, current limit is inhibited.
Pin 12 (Sense Positive):
Connects to the high side of the
current shunt or sense lead of a current-sensing MOSFET.
A built-in offset between pins 11 and 12 in conjunction
with R
SENSE
sets the top MOSFET short-circuit current.
Pin 13 (Top Source):
Top side driver return; connects to
MOSFET source and low side of the bootstrap capacitor.
Pin 14 (Top Gate Feedback):
Must connect directly to the
top power MOSFET gate. The bottom MOSFET turn-on is
inhibited until V14 – V13 has discharged to 1.75V. An on-
chip charge pump also feeds the top gate via pin 14.
Pin 15 (Top Gate Drive):
The high current drive point for
the top MOSFET. When a gate resistor is used, it is inserted
between pin 15 and the gate of the MOSFET.
Pin 16 (Boost):
Top side driver supply; connects to the
high side of the bootstrap capacitor and to a diode either
from supply (V
+
< 10V) or from pin 1 (V
+
> 10V).
