Mingjiada Electronics Supply ST L6390 600V High Voltage High/ Low-Side Half-Bridge Gate Driver

In motor drives, inverters, industrial power supplies and power conversion systems, gate drivers play a crucial role in converting control signals into drive signals for power switching devices. High-voltage high-side/low-side gate drivers have attracted attention due to their ability to drive both high-side and low-side power devices simultaneously, thereby simplifying bridge circuit design. Mingjiada Electronics has long been a supplier of the [ST] L6390 high-voltage high-side/low-side gate driver, offering both sample procurement and bulk supply.

Product Overview
The L6390 is a high-voltage high-side/low-side gate driver launched by ST (STMicroelectronics), primarily used to drive power switching devices such as power MOSFETs or IGBTs. This device integrates high-side and low-side drive channels, making it suitable for gate drive designs in power topologies such as half-bridge, full-bridge and three-phase inverters. Its high-voltage level conversion, input compatibility and protection functions help to simplify power stage circuits and enhance system reliability.

Key Specifications of the L6390:
High-side voltage rating: up to 600V
Drive configuration: half-bridge, 2 independent channels
Output current: 290 mA (sink) / 430 mA (source)

Supply voltage VCC: 12.5 V – 20 V
Switching frequency: up to approximately 800 kHz
Operating junction temperature: –40°C to +125°C
Package: 16-SO (SO-16)

Device Positioning and Key Technical Characteristics
The L6390 series, manufactured using ST’s BCD™ “offline” process, is a fully-featured single-chip half-bridge gate driver, with the high-side (floating) section capable of operating on a voltage rail of up to 600V.
Key features of the L6390 include:
Drive capability: 290 mA source current and 430 mA sink current at the output stage; typical switching times of 75 ns rise and 35 ns fall with a 1 nF load, helping to reduce switching losses and EMI.
Logic interface compatibility: 3.3V and 5V TTL/CMOS inputs (with hysteresis), enabling direct interfacing with mainstream control MCUs; matched high- and low-side propagation delays (typically 125 ns) prevent cycle distortion and support switching frequencies of up to approximately 800 kHz.
Integrated bootstrap diode: Eliminates the need for an external bootstrap diode, simplifying layout and reducing BOM costs.
Dead-time and interlocking: The external DT pin can be used to set the dead-time; this, combined with internal interlocking logic, prevents shoot-through between the high-side and low-side devices.
Dual UVLO: Both high-side and low-side drive channels feature built-in under-voltage lockout (UVLO), preventing the power transistors from operating in inefficient or hazardous regions when the supply voltage is insufficient.
On-chip operational amplifier + comparator: The integrated operational amplifier can be used for current sensing in field-oriented control (FOC) or sensorless back-EMF (BEMF) detection; the comparator, in conjunction with smartSD (smart shutdown), enables rapid protection against faults such as overcurrent and overtemperature.
Immunity: dV/dt immunity of up to ±50 V/ns across the full temperature range

Typical applications for the L6390:
Motor drives: DC, AC, permanent magnet DC (PMDC) and permanent magnet AC (PMAC) motors; FOC and sensorless BEMF detection systems;
Industrial applications and drives, factory automation, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning);
Household appliances, induction heating;
Power supply systems: server power supplies, telecommunications power supplies, UPS, solar inverters, charging station power modules, etc.
