ISL70040SEH, ISL73040SEH
Radiation Hardened Low-Side GaN FET Driver
FN8984
Rev.5.00
Jul 12, 2018
The
ISL70040SEH
and
ISL73040SEH
are low-side
drivers designed to drive enhancement mode Gallium
Nitride (GaN) FETs in isolated topologies and boost type
configurations. The ISL70040SEH operates with a
supply voltage from 4.5V to 13.2V and has both
inverting (INB) and non-inverting (IN) inputs to satisfy
requirements for inverting and non-inverting gate drives
with a single device.
The ISL70040SEH and ISL73040SEH have a 4.5V gate
drive voltage (V
DRV
) generated using an internal
regulator which prevents the gate voltage from exceeding
the maximum gate-source rating of enhancement mode
GaN FETs. The gate drive voltage also features an
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection that ignores the
inputs (IN/INB) and keeps OUTL turned on to ensure the
GaN FET is in an OFF state whenever V
DRV
is below the
UVLO threshold.
The ISL70040SEH and ISL73040SEH inputs can
withstand voltages up to 14.7V regardless of the V
DD
voltage. This allows the ISL70040SEH and
ISL73040SEH inputs to be connected directly to most
PWM controllers. The ISL70040SEH and ISL73040SEH
split outputs offer the flexibility to adjust the turn-on and
turn-off speed independently by adding additional
impedance to the turn-on/off paths.
The ISL70040SEH and ISL73040SEH operate across
the military temperature range from -55°C to +125°C
and are offered in an 8 Ld hermetically sealed ceramic
Surface Mount Device (SMD) package or die form.

Notes:
1. Specifications for Rad Hard QML devices are controlled by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA). The SMD
numbers listed must be used when ordering.
2. These Pb-free Hermetic packaged products employ 100% Au plate - e4 termination finish, which is RoHS compliant and
compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations.
3. The /PROTO and /SAMPLE are not rated or certified for Total Ionizing Dose (TID) or Single Event Effect (SEE) immunity. These
parts are intended for engineering evaluation purposes only. The /PROTO parts meet the electrical limits and conditions across
the temperature range specified in the DLA SMD and are in the same form and fit as the qualified device. The /SAMPLE die is
capable of meeting the electrical limits and conditions specified in the DLA SMD at +25°C only. The /SAMPLE is a die and does
not receive 100% screening across the temperature range to the DLA SMD electrical limits. These part types do not come with
a certificate of conformance because there is no radiation assurance testing and they are not DLA qualified devices.
4. Evaluation board uses the /PROTO parts. The /PROTO parts are not rated or certified for Total Ionizing Dose (TID) or Single
Event Effect (SEE) immunity.

Description
Supply for the ISL70040SEH and ISL73040SEH internal linear regulator. Locally bypass
the supply to VDD using at least a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor.
Non-inverting input pin which controls the OUTH and OUTL outputs. This input has
TTL/CMOS type thresholds. When using this device in an inverting application, tie this pin
to VDD to enable the outputs.
Inverting input pin which controls the OUTH and OUTL outputs. This input has TTL/CMOS
type thresholds. When using this device in a non-inverting application, tie this pin to VSS to
enable the outputs.
Supply ground. Connect this pin to VSSP from the PCB ground plane.
Power supply ground. Connect this pin to VSS from the PCB ground plane.
Output low pin which is the gate driver turn-off output. Connect to the gate of the GaN FET
with a short, low inductance path. A series gate resistor can be used to adjust the turn-off
speed.
Output high pin which is the gate driver turn-on output. Connect to the gate of the GaN FET
with a short, low inductance path. A series gate resistor can be used to adjust the turn-on
speed.
Internal linear regulator output and the gate drive voltage. Locally bypass this pin using at
least a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor; 2µF to 10µF with variability.
