PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin 1
No connection.
Pin 2: CAP
Connection for the positive terminal of the bootstrap capacitor
C
BOOT
. A 0.01-mF C
BOOT
capacitor can be used for most
applications.
Pin 3: V+
This is the only external power supply required for the Si9976,
and must be the same supply used to power the half-bridge it
is driving. The Si9976 powers it’s low-voltage logic, low-side
gate driver, and bootstrap/charge pump circuits from
self-contained voltage regulators which require only a
bootstrap capacitor on the CAP pin and a bypass capacitor on
the V
DD
pin.
No voltage sensing circuitry monitors V+ directly; however, the
low-voltage, internally generated V
DD
supply and the
bootstrap voltage (which are derived from V+) are directly
protected by undervoltage monitors.
Pin 4: V
DD
Connection to the internally generated low-voltage supply
which must be bypassed to ground with a 0.01-mF capacitor.
Pin 5: IN
Logic input. A low level input turns off the high-side half-bridge
MOSFET and, after an internally set dead time, turns the
low-side half-bridge MOSFET on. A high input level has the
opposite effect. The input is compatible with 5-, 12- or 15-V
logic outputs.
Pin 6: EN
Enable input. A low EN input level prevents turn on of either
half-bridge MOSFET. If the Si9976 is internally disabled as a
result of an output short-circuit condition, a low-to-high
transition on EN is required to clear the fault and resume
operation. The input logic levels are the same as IN.

Pin 7: V
CC
If the FAULT output is used, the V
CC
pin must be connected to
the logic supply voltage in order to set the high level of the
FAULT output. If the FAULT output is not used, this pin may be
left open with no effect on internal fault sensing or protection
circuitry.
Pin 8: FAULT
The Fault output is latched high when a short-circuit output
condition is detected. FAULT will return low when the circuit is
reset using the EN pin. The FAULT output also indicates the
status of the undervoltage sense circuit on V
DD
, however the
fault condition is cleared automatically when the undervoltage
condition clears.
Pin 9: G2
This pin drives the gate of the external low-side power
transistor.
Pin 10: GND
The ground return for V+, logic reference, and connection for
source of external low-side power transistor.
Pin 11
No connection.
Pin 12: G1
This pin drives the gate of the external high side power
transistor.
Pin 13: S1
Connection for the source of the external high-side power
transistor, the drain of the external low-side power transistor,
the negative terminal of the bootstrap capacitor, and the
system load. The voltage on this pin is sensed by the circuitry
that monitors the load for shorts.
Pin 14
No connection.

Si9976

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Power On Conditioning
Bootstrap-type floating supplies require that the bootstrap
capacitor be charged at power on. In the case of the Si9976,
this is accomplished by pulsing the IN line low with the EN line
held high, thus turning on the low-side MOSFET and providing
the charging path for the capacitor.
Short Circuit Protection
This device is intended to be used only in a half-bridge which
drives inductive loads. A shorted load is presumed if the load
voltage does not make the intended transition within an
allotted time. Separate timing is provided for the two
transitions. A longer time is allowed for the high-side to turn on
(300 ns vs. 200 ns) since the propagation delays are longer.
Excessive capacitive loading can be interpreted as a short.
The value of capacitance that is needed to produce the
indication of a short depends on the load driving capability of
the power transistors.
Operating Voltage: 20 to 40 V
The Si9976 is intended to be powered by a single power
supply within the range of 20 to 40 V and is designed to drive
a totem pole pair of NMOS power transistors such as those
within the Si9955. The power transistors must be powered by
the same power supply as this driver. In addition to the
high-voltage power supply (20 to 40 V), the Si9976 must have
a power supply connected to the V
CC
terminal, if a fault output
signal is desired. This power supply provides operating
voltage for the fault output and allows the high output voltage
level to be compatible with system logic that monitors the fault
condition. The value of this power supply must be within the
range of 4.5 to 16.5 V to ensure functionality of the output.
Internal fault circuitry, which is used for shorted-load
protection, is not affected by this power supply.
ESD Protection
Electrostatic discharge protection devices are between V
DD
and GND, V
CC
and GND, and from terminals IN, EN, G2, and
FAULT to both V
DD
and GND. V+, CAP, S1, and G1 are not
ESD protected.
Fault Feedback
Detection of a shorted load sets a latch which turns off both the
high-side and the low-side power transistors. If V
CC
is present,
a one level will be present on the FAULT output. To reset the
system, the enable input, EN, must be lowered to a logic zero
and then raised to a logic one. The logic level of the input, IN,
will determine which power transistor will be turned on first after
reset. An undervoltage condition on V
DD
is not latched, but
causes a one level on the FAULT output, if V
CC
is present.
Cross-Conduction Protection
The high-side power transistor can only be turned on after a
fixed time delay following the return to ground of the low-side
power transistor’s gate. The low-side transistor can only be
turned on after a fixed time delay following the high-side
transistor turn-off signal.
Undervoltage Lockout
During power up, both power transistors are held off until the
internal regulated power supply, V
DD
, is approximately one
V
be
from the final value, nominally 16 V. After power up, the
undervoltage lockout circuitry continues to monitor V
DD
. If an
undervoltage condition occurs, both the high-side and
low-side transistors will be turned off and the fault output will be
set high. When the undervoltage condition no longer exists,
normal function will resume automatically. Separate voltage
sensing of the bootstrap capacitor voltage allows a turn-on
signal to be sent to the high-side drive circuit if either the
bootstrap capacitor has full voltage, or the load voltage is high
(driven high by an inductive load or shorted high). The voltage
sensing circuit will allow the high-side power transistor to turn
on if an on signal is present and the voltage on the bootstrap
capacitor rises from undervoltage to operating voltage.
Static (dc) Operation
All components of a charge pump, except the holding
(bootstrap) capacitor, are included in the circuit. This charge
pump will provide current that is sufficient to overcome any
leakage currents which would reduce the enhancement
voltage of the high-side power transistor while it is on. This
allows the high-side power transistor to be on continuously.
When the low-side power transistor is turned on, additional
charge is restored to the bootstrap capacitor, if needed. The
maximum switching speed of the system at 50% duty cycle is
limited by the on time of the low-side power transistor. During
this time, the bootstrap capacitor charge must be restored.
However, if the duty cycle is skewed so that the on time of the
high-side power transistor is long enough for the charge pump
to completely restore the charge lost during switching, then the
on time of the low-side power transistor is not restricted.
