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.
